Chapter 79
Grace strode to the Maybach, opened the door, and motioned for Beth to get in.
Grace sped all the way to the shooting base. Beth sat in the passenger seat uneasily and suddenly felt a little ashamed. âIâm sorry to bother you to drive me, Ms. Salen. I donât know how to drive. If I could drive, then I could be your driver.â
âItâs not a big deal. Find some time to learn later.â Grace was amused by her words and relaxed.
Beth wanted to say something more, but after thinking for a while, she shut her mouth and looked at Grace with admiration.
Grace suddenly stopped outside the shooting base and hurried in. Beth quickly followed, with the same serious expression as what was on Graceâs face.
The person in charge received the notice in advance and stood outside the door to welcome them.
âMs. Salen, youâre finally here. The two of them have been arguing with each other. We really have no choice.â
The person in charge explained the situation as they walked. âOn one side is a popular new actress, and on the other is a rich young lady. We canât afford to offend either of them, so we could only invite you here.â
âWhat are their names? Who wants to withdraw?â Grace asked.
âThe actress is called Jillian Jameson. The rich lady is Dara Davis from Wind City. They quarreled over a bed and said that they were going to withdraw.â
âSince they insist on leaving, we donât have to force them to stay.â
Grace sneered. âBut we have to make an example of them and let them know the rules.â
While they were talking, they had already arrived at the hall where Jillian and Dara were confronting each other.
âAre you two the ones causing trouble?â Grace looked at them with an unfriendly expression. âIf you donât want to participate, you can leave directly. Donât make things difficult for anyone else.â
âWho do you think you are? Youâre just a general manager. How dare you give me the cold shoulder?â
Jillian glanced at Grace with disdain. âI came to your show out of respect for the Angle Group. If it werenât for Mr. Smith, who would come to such an unpopular show?â
âMs. Jameson, I have to warn you to recognize the reality. With your current reputation and status, you are not qualified to say such words.â
Grace sat down in the main seat elegantly and continued, âThe Angle Group is able to occupy a place in the entertainment industry and become famous. What it can bring you is far more than you can imagine. If you want to withdraw, then pay the penalty fee and you can go immediately.â
âYou! Mind your attitude! Itâs an honor for the Angle Group that Iâm here. How dare pay a fine?!â Jillian was so angry that her face turned red.
you
ask me to
Grace glanced at her, picked up the contestantsâ information form on the table, and flipped through it casually.
âWhat kind of attitude I hold depends on who I face. Youâre here for Mr. Smith, right? If I ask Mr. Sipith to drive you away personally, youâll be more embarrassed, wonât you?â
âOkay! I wonât let you off! Just you wait!â

After saying that, Jillian left.
âAnd what about you?â
Grace looked at Dara and asked, âStay or withdraw?â
âOf course Iâm leaving! Who wants to stay in a talent show like yours for a few months?â
Dara was unconvinced. âJillian has no manners at all, and neither does the staff! Iâll take the Angle Group to court and let you see that our Davis family is not to be trifled with!â
âAre you done?â
Grace put down the file and said, âPay the penalty fee and you can leave. Our show doesnât need a brainless person like you. By the way, just sue me. Iâll wait for your court summons.â
Ignoring Dara, Grace ordered the person in charge. âWhat are you waiting for? Send her away!â
After saying that, Grace smoothed her hair gracefully and walked out quickly, ignoring Daraâs pale face.
âMs. Salen, have you settled it? There are guests in the company and theyâre waiting for you in the reception room.â
Seeing Grace come out, Beth immediately went up to her and pointed at her phone.
âWho?â
Grace got in the car and fastened her seat belt.
âMr. and Mrs. Mellis from the Mellis Group, but they didnât make it clear what they are here for.â Beth scratched her head.
Grace nodded and drove back to the Angle Group at lightning speed.
In the reception room, Jack and Emma were anxiously waiting, looking up from time to time.
Finally, when they saw the familiar figure, they were very excited.
âYouâre finally back, Miss Salen. Weâve been waiting for a long time.â Jack reached out his hand to her.
âMy wife and I are here to thank you.â
âThatâs right. Itâs all thanks to you that Hedda was able to wake up from her coma. You even uncovered that bitchâs conspiracy. Otherwise, Iâm afraid weâd still be kept in the dark and think that Heddaâs car accident was indeed an accident,â Emma echoed.
Grace smiled and said, âYou donât have to be so polite. Weâre just taking what we need. Ms. Hedda waking up will be of great help to me.â
Jack didnât expect Grace to speak so elegantly and not take credit at all. He couldnât help but think highly of her.
Grace asked again, âHow is she now?â
âShe just woke up. She still needs some time to recover, but sheâs much better than before.â Emma held Graceâs hand excitedly.
âThatâs good. Donât worry. Iâll ask Chad to follow up on Ms. Heddaâs treatment process and have him come up with the most suitable plan until sheâs fully recovered.â
After getting Graceâs promise, Jack and Emma looked at each other.
Even Jack, who had been in the business world for many years, couldnât help smiling at this moment.
âThank you so much, Miss Salen. Youâre the benefactor of our Mellis family. Weâre very grateful to you.
In addition, we came here today to discuss a cooperation with you.â

âCooperation?â
Grace was slightly surprised. She didnât expect Jack to be so generous. âTell me the details.â
âItâs very simple. I want to provide a stable investment for the Angle Group. In the future, I will invest 50% into every project that you handle. What do you think? I am not in a hurry to get an answer immediately. I can give you more time to think about it.â
âNo need to think about it. We can sign the contract now.â
Grace immediately agreed to Jackâs proposal.
In the field of interests, there was no eternal partner or enemy. Now that Jac k offered an olive branch, she naturally had no reason to refuse.
Jack was well prepared. He took out a prepared contract from his briefcase and handed it to Grace.
âIf you think thereâs no problem after reading it, you can sign it directly.â
Grace read the terms carefully, then signed it and reached out to Jack. âThank you, Mr. Mellis. Nice to cooperate with you.â
âHereâs to a good cooperation!â Feeling satisfied, Jack and Emma left with the contract.
The series of events interrupted Graceâs original plan. She went to the old mansion of the Fallen family after finishing her daily work.
Along the way, she drove fast so as not to be disturbed by anything else.
In the old mansion, Yvonne was holding her phone and pacing back and forth anxiously in the room.
âWhatâs wrong with Edgar? He usually doesnât turn off his phone. Why has his phone been turned off these days? I canât get in touch with him. Iâm so worriedâ¦â
Suddenly, her phone rang. She immediately picked it up and asked eagerly, âHowâs it going? Is there any news?â
âIâm sorry, Mrs. Fallen. Thereâs still no news of Mr. Fallen, and he hasnât returned to the company for a few days, soâ¦â
âSo what? The Fallen family didnât raise you for nothing! Hurry up and investigate! If thereâs still no news of my son, Iâll kick you out!â
Yvonne hung up the phone angrily and threw it directly into the yard.
This caused Grace to stop as she was walking in the yard. She picked up the phone that had fallen at
her feet.
