Regret Came Too Late (Grace and Ethan) novel Chapter 204

Grace had been in the ward for half an hour, yet she still hadn't brought up the matter of executive rights. She feared that Quentin would really think she was taking advantage of him.

After all, her past conduct had been quite bad.

But just as she was about to get up and leave, Quentin asked, "Edric has made things difficult for you, hasn't he?"

Edric was the senior executive who opposed her.

Grace admitted it straightaway. "Yes, he holds shares and won't listen to me. Dad, I actually want to ask you for the executive rights of the company.

"You can transfer some shares to me first. Once this matter is over, I'll transfer them back to you. I've never intended to take anything from our family anyway."

As soon as she said that, she saw a flash of sadness in Quentin's eyes, as if she had hit his sore spot. She figured it was best not to say anything more, so she just stood there in silence.

After a long while, Quentin said with a sigh, "I'll have my assistant and lawyer go to see you."

"Thank you, Dad." As Grace left the ward, she felt a little uneasy. It seemed like Quentin had known from the very beginning what she was going to say.

After all, he had been with the company for so many years and knew the personalities of every executive very well. But in the end, it was still he who took the initiative to speak out.

She was distressed, but she soon met up with Quentin's assistant and lawyer and was temporarily given 20% of the shares.

The change in shares was a major matter, so all the executives were notified. Seeing that she had managed to acquire so many shares in just a few hours, everyone fell silent.

Only Edric was still ranting. "I don't get what Quentin is up to, giving so many shares to a useless person. Does Grace even know how to run a company? I think the Lambert family will be doomed soon."

He was still grumbling in his office when Grace pushed the door open and walked in.

"Mr. Trenholm, if you think the Lambert family will be doomed soon, I can offer you a high price for the shares you have. Would you consider selling them?"

Edric owned 5% of the shares.

His expression instantly changed. This bitch actually had her eyes on his shares!

He slammed the table hard and exclaimed, "Grace, you've really crossed the line!

"I have a connection at Henderson Group too. If you alter the original project, I'll definitely inform them. Let's see how long you can last against Ethan."

Grace frowned. She really hadn't expected Edric to have a connection at Henderson Group, but she wasn't scared. He might not be telling the truth.

Now, Edric revealed Grace's plan to modify the contract to the other party.

The executive at Henderson Group also saw this as an opportunity to make a name for himself. It was a project worth billions, so he should prepare the CEO for it at the very least.

As a part of the top management of Henderson Group, Grace was simply unforgivable to pull such a dirty trick.

The executive of Henderson Group appeared excited and agreed right away, saying he would report it to Ethan.

Edric also had a satisfied look, thinking that Grace would soon be dealt with by Ethan's ruthless approach.

However, Ethan was busy with the paperwork and said nothing when the executive brought up the matter in front of Ethan.

The executive was sweating nervously, but he felt that Ethan was in a good mood today. At least he wasn't scowling and wore a gentle expression.

Thus, the executive grew bolder. "Mr. Henderson, what she's doing shows that she doesn't respect you at all. How can she work with you while favoring Lambert Group?

"We should either fire her immediately or find someone to get rid of her once and for all."
