Chapter 127 The Mysterious Futurelink Corporation

“Why does Grace seem to have a good life?” Samuel was feeling cynical.

Never in his wildest dreams had he imagined that Quine Group, one of the leading estate companies in

Pamore, would disappear in just a few days. All of this was inextricably linked to

Grace.

“Mr. Walker, I think that Ms. Lewis is very bold. Your bet with her—”

Samuel scolded him at once. “Shut up! She’s a mere woman who wants to make it in this dog- eat–dog

business world. She can keep dreaming!

“Even if she’s taken over Quine Group, it’s still nothing compared to how huge Amirate Corporation is.

Of course it’s even more insignificant compared to 30%!”

Despite his words, Samuel’s gaze darkened.

No matter what, he couldn’t lose this bet.

Grace had better watch out.

Within a week, Quine Group declared bankruptcy.

However, a mysterious person had quietly acquired what was left of Quine Group and invested

a lot of funds in it. Within half a month, a new company called Futurelink Corporation rapidly rose up

the ranks in Pamore.

Very soon, it laid down roots in Pamore.

Not long after, rumors about Futurelink Corporation began spreading through business circles in

Pamore.

“Futurelink Corporation is so mysterious! The mysterious president hasn’t revealed any information at

all yet!”

“I also heard that Futurelink Corporation must have a powerful supporter! They must have deep

pockets to be able to rise up in such a short amount of time. I heard that they’ve already taken over

one–third of the businesses in Pamore.”

“The Quines‘ decline was supposed to shuffle things around among the upper class in Pamore. But we

never expected Futurelink Corporation to suddenly appear! It’s completely changed the game.”

Grace and Luke passed through the hall and heard the people gathered at the reception gossiping.

An hour later, the drop in share price reached its limit.

The Quines had become public enemy number one.

“They deserve it!” Emily couldn’t help but say it when she saw all the insults online.

“Yvonne’s lost her protection as a pregnant woman, and she can no longer be released on bail while

waiting for trial.

“Just the evidence that we provided, I think she can be sentenced to 20 years with no problem.

Grace assented. “That sounds about right!”

“But it’s strange that Benjamin hasn’t said a word up until now. Wasn’t the baby in Yvonne’s womb his?”

Grace didn’t care at all.

“It doesn’t matter whether or not he speaks up about it. Anyway, the two of us won’t ever cross paths

again after this.”

“Yes, babe! It’s good that you think that way. There’s plenty of fish in the sea! There are men

everywhere! The Fultons‘ son seems pretty nice. Why don’t you consider him?” Emily grinned slyly.

At the mention of Xander, Grace shook her head slightly.

“He’s still a bachelor, and I’ve already been married once. I shouldn’t harm his reputation.

“Why do I have to find a partner anyway? Isn’t it good just to focus on my career?”

Emily hugged Grace and planted a few k*sses on her. “Oh, babe! You’ve become so clear- headed and

rational!

“It makes sense; let’s forget about men! You and I should focus on earning money. That would be the

best thing for us.”

Soon enough, Yvonne was taken away by the police, as there was ample evidence against her.

Meanwhile, the Quines had become the object of public criticism, and Quine Group’s clients began

terminating their contracts one by one. They were in an unprecedented state of crisis.

Amirate Corporation took advantage of this and successfully won over several of the Quines‘ clients. In

just a few days, they managed to get several large orders.

The two of them looked straight ahead as they entered the elevator. Once the elevator doors closed,

Grace spoke up first. “There have been a lot of rumors about Futurelink Corporation recently.”

“Yes, Ms. Lewis. The thing is that Futurelink Corporation is too mysterious and seems to be very

powerful. Everyone is curious and in suspense.

“I’m afraid that the whole of Pamore wants to know the real identity of the legendary president behind

Futurelink Corporation.”

“Isn’t there any useful information at all?” Grace asked, puzzled.

Luke shook his head gently. “We’ve investigated it. The only thing that’s clear is that they are too

powerful, so we couldn’t find anything.”

Grace felt a little frustrated.

“It looks like Futurelink Corporation is a formidable opponent!”

“Yes. There must be more to Futurelink Corporation’s sudden entrance into Pamore than meets the

eye.

“I have a feeling that when the people from Futurelink Corporation come in, there’ll be a perfect storm.”

Grace murmured in assent.

“Whether they’re a friend or a foe, we need to be careful. Before we know their background, let’s try our

best to avoid them in business.”

“Yes, Ms. Lewis.”

The elevator doors opened.

Grace walked out in her seven–inch heels. The moment she reached her office, her secretary brought

over her schedule for the day.

“Ms. Lewis, these are the arrangements for today. Please check this.”

Grace took it and flipped through it. “Alright.”

“Oh right, Ms. Lewis! This morning, we received an invitation from Futurelink Corporation!”

When Grace heard about Futurelink Corporation, she stopped what she was doing. “What invitation?”

The secretary hurriedly handed it over.
