Edgar pursed his thin lips and strode out of the restaurant without saying a word.
Tim had no choice but to call his subordinates to let them go.
Lucy and Mr. Jameson were tied up in a dark room, shivering.
She had never dreamed Grace would be familiar with someone as powerful as Edgar, and her jealousy
of Grace deepened.
Grace was just an orphan raised in an orphanage. On her resume, she seemed to be divorced.
How could such a woman deserve the help of many top men in Frant City?
But at this moment, she was more afraid than jealous.
She was afraid of how Edgar would deal with them.
The light was turned on with a crisp click, and the sudden light almost blinded both.
They were so scared that they trembled. Before they could beg for mercy, they saw that the
subordinates of Tim had untied them!
Then, the group of people left directly.
They didn’t even give them a look.
Lucy and Mr. Jameson looked at each other in dismay.
What was going on?
Did they let them go so quickly?
Mr. Jameson immediately called Victor to inquire about the situation. Lucy was also listening by the
side.
But Victor’s phone was turned
He couldn’t get through, no matter what.
They had no choice but to leave this troublesome place first, or Edgar would regret it and catch them
again.
Later, Lucy called Sarah and learned from her that Victor and Louis had been arrested.
Sarah asked, “What happened?”
“Mr. Fallen of the Fallen Group accidentally overheard Mr. Wesley and me. He tied us up. Mr. Fallen is
probably the one who sent Mr. Wesley to jail.
Lucy guessed, but she was still a little confused. She continued, “But I still can’t figure it out. Since he
sent Mr. Wesley and Mr. Lewis in, why did he let me and Mr. Jameson go?”
Sarah was silent for a moment.
“I’ll send someone to investigate this matter. You just need to keep an eye on that woman.”
“Yes.”
After hanging up the phone, Lucy turned her head and hugged the man beside her.

The man was bald and in his forties. He held her in his arms lustfully and said, “I think the company’s
new director is quite good. Why can’t you tolerate her?”
Hearing this, Lucy pushed him away angrily.
“How dare you say that? You promised to help me get promoted, but that woman took the position. If it
weren’t for her beauty, would you care about this kind of thing?”
Thinking of something, she continued, “And my car, you gave me a second-hand BMW. Am I so cheap
in your heart?”
The man couldn’t answer for a moment, so he could only comfort her gently. “You’re the most important
person in my heart. I didn’t have enough money on me earlier, but when I’m free later, I’ll take you to
the 4S shop to pick a better one.”
Lucy snorted to express her dissatisfaction.
“If you’re gunning for that director position, I’ll pick apart her flaws at tomorrow’s meeting. You can lend
her a hand then. Being a newcomer, she won’t know how to handle it. She’ll make a complete fool of
herself in front of everyone. And before long, that director title will be yours.”
Lucy was overjoyed. “It’s a deal.”
The guy nodded, his eyes gleaming with desire. “Babe, I’ve been there for you through thick and thin.
Don’t you think it’s time you gave me a little something in return?”
Lucy blushed and pouted, “You’re so annoying!”
Early the following day.
Lucy drove to the company in high spirits.
Before the meeting, Grace coincidentally found herself in the same elevator as Lucy, heading upstairs.
Unable to resist a playful jab, she quipped, “Well, well, Ms. Gordan, you look quite radiant today. It
seems like you had a restful night’s sleep.”
Lucy glanced disdainfully at Grace and retorted, “Certainly better than you. I suppose you didn’t get a
wink of sleep last night, did you?”
Lucy was sure that Grace was knocked out by the drug last night. And she thought it was highly likely
that Mr. Wesley and Mr. Lewis succeeded. But they were sent to jail by Edgar before they got to send
her the video.
She believed that was what happened. Therefore, the way she looked at Grace with even more
disdain.
She didn’t understand how Grace, a toy, was so confident in front of her.
With this thought in mind, she lifted her chin proudly, approached Grace, and delivered her words with
a sarcastic tone. “Oh, Director Salen, I’d be simply delighted to be your friend. Sadly, it seems you’re
on the verge of losing your job. I’m afraid our chance to work together in the future will be quite slim.”
Grace sneered and glanced at her as if she was looking at a fool. “Really?”
Ding.
They arrived at the floor.

Grace went out first.
Looking at her back, Lucy gritted her teeth with hatred. “I’d like to see how you cry later!”
Angle Group had a meeting every month, mainly to carry out the follow-up work plan for each group.
Those occupying positions above the director level were seated in the first half of the table, while
employees like Lucy were relegated to the second half, which placed them quite a distance away from
Grace.
The leaders and employees arrived, filling the room one by one. The meeting commenced as Patric
made his entrance.
The heads of each department took their turn to speak. Lucy grew increasingly bored as the meeting
dragged on. Finally, it was Grace’s turn to take the floor.
Lucy clenched her fists, and her eyes became more and more excited.
However…
She inadvertently glanced at the board of directors but didn’t see the familiar face, not even his seat.
What happened?
He had promised her last night, and this morning, they went to work together.
Lucy was puzzled and turned her head to look at Grace, who was not far away. Grace smiled
meaningfully and looked away.
That smile looked cold and charming, but in the eyes of Lucy, it was a provocation.
Intuition told Lucy that this matter definitely had something to do with Grace.
After struggling for a long time in her heart, she still couldn’t help asking the person next to her in an
extremely low voice, “Do you know why Henry Lincoln didn’t come today?”
The man’s face changed, and then he waved his hand. “I don’t know him. Don’t ask me.”
What?
His reaction was weird.
Not believing her ears, Lucy shifted her gaze to the left. To her surprise, the employee seated beside
her preempted her inquiry and quickly waved their hand, stating, “I don’t know anything.”
Lucy was confused.
Grace addressed. “Lately, our new project, ‘The World,’ has gained significant popularity. After careful
consideration, we have decided to assign our company’s artists, Tom Walker and Andy, to portray the
male lead and the second male lead, respectively-”
“Wait a minute!”
Lucy suddenly raised her hand to interrupt and questioned, “When did this happen? Why didn’t I know
about it at all? And what we discussed last night was clearly–”
Grace continued, “What did we discuss yesterday? With whom?”
“With…”
Lucy was speechless. Mr. Wesley and Mr. Lewis were inexplicably arrested last night. If she mentioned
them, what would people say about her?
