Fred’s face darkened as soon as he heard her mocking tone. “Hmph! You don’t need to worry about that. Right now, Matthew isn’t here. The Grant family, who value old ties, invited me back to take charge. Valerie, don’t say I’m picking on you because you’re young, Just look at the state of the Noria Group under your management these past days! It’s been a mess!”

The people around them quickly chimed in “Yeah, if you can’t handle it, stop pretending! Let someone more capable take over!

“Mrs. Grant, you should just stay home and take care of the kid!”

“You don’t have the ability to hold

up

the Noria Group!”

Valerie smiled calmly at their words. Tve been thinking the same, actually. So today. I’d like to hand over the new project to any of you who think you’re up to the task. If someone can complete it, I’ll gladly step aside and let the Noria Group be run by someone more capable.”

Valerie massaged her temples, feigning exhaustion. “Whoever can get the Rosy Bay project of the ground. I’ll hand over my shares in the Noria Group to them

The shares in Valerie’s hand were given to her by Matthew, and they were quite significant.

As expected, Fred immediately jumped at the chance. “Are you serious?”

Valerie nodded. “Of course. You know, with the kid, I’m really overwhelmed. If someone can help, I’d be grateful. Charles is just an assistant, after all, and there are some things he can’t take care of, Naturally, the Grant family’s business should be managed by a Grant family member”

Her words struck a chord with Fred, and he quickly nodded in agreement. “You’re right. Leave this to me!”

Valerie frowned deeply. “Are you sure you want to take on this project? You’ve been away for so long. You might not be familiar with the business anymore.

Fred dismissed her concerns, “What does that matter? Even though I haven’t been with the company for a while, we have people who can help us. As long as we have them, there’s nothing to worry about! Rest assured. There won’t be any mistakes?”

Before Valerie could say more, other members of the Grant family started to chime in. “Just let him give it a try!”

“And besides if you’re not capable, don’t hold others back. Not everyone is as incompetent as you!”

“Exactly! Fred has worked at the Noria Group for many years. If it weren’t for Matthew, he would’ve taken over the Grant family a long time ago!”

Valerie sneered. “Since that’s the case, let’s sign an agreement. If you can’t handle it, then stop blaming me from now on. I may not have much experience, but I am Matthew’s legitimate wife and a shareholder of the Noria Group! Whether I’m capable or not, even Sophia hasn’t commented on it, so you all better keep quiet!”

Valerie displayed the authority of the Grant family matriarch, and at her words, the room fell silent

Fred chuckled. “No problem. What’s the big deal about signing an agreement?

“It’s not just you alone. All of you will sign” Valerie demanded, pointing to several others in the room

Seeing Valerie’s determined stance, the others frowned deeply, feeling somewhat unwilling but also cornered.

Valerie crossed her arms. “What’s the matter? Are you scared! Or is it that you simply don’t have what it takes?”

“Who’s scared? It’s just a signature, nothing to worry about!” Without hesitation, Fred signed the agreement, and the rest reluctantly followed suit.

Valerie smiled, thinking to herself, Tim going to use this opportunity to completely entrap Fred, leaving him no time to come after me

With the agreement in hand, Fred looked at Valerie with enthusiasm. “Just you wait. This time, I’ll show you what a seasoned investor is capable of

Valerie shrugged, unfazed. She was indeed waiting, but she worried Fred night not take the bait.

Once Fred made his move, she’d have the perfect reason to pull the rug out from under him.

This project was meticulously designed to ensure Fred’s downfall, leaving him with no chance to rise again. If anyone tries to meddle with us, they’ll all be out!‘ Valerie had made up her mind.

Taking a deep breath, Valerie reminded herself of her responsibility as Mathew’s wife. She had to hold onto the Noria Group until Matthew returned

Outwardly, she was sharp and fierce, like a warrior ready for battle. But at home, she had to comfort Sophia, who was deeply troubled by Matthew’s

Chapter 740

After all, Mathew’s predicament weighed heavily on the entire Grant family-

Late at night, Valerie let her hair down and lay on the bed, gazing at her baby, her heart filled with tenderness. “Matthew, you have to come back. You just have to. I don’t know if I can keep going without you. I’m so tired, so scared!”

A tear slipped down her cheek as the baby gurgled and grabbed her hand with a chubby fist, making Valerie’s heart melt. She couldn’t help but kiss the baby’s forehead, Matthew, the baby and I will be here waiting for you. You must come back.”

Valerie drifted into sleep, knowing she couldn’t afford to fall. If she did, the Grant family would be doomed.

As she dozed off, on the other side of town, Fred, brimming with excitement, headed straight for Rosy Bay with the other Grant family members.

This was a massive project. If he could pull it off, the profits would reach 100 million dollars, giving him the chance to make a comeback.

However, as soon as he arrived at the construction site, Fred’s smile quickly faded.

The site had come to a halt due to a lack of funds, with no sufficient working capital available

Seeing this, the Grant family members grew furious. “Fred, I’m sure this is a trap set by Valerie!”
