Chapter 202
Although the other people remained in their seats, they said nothing, as if Grace were invisible.
Grace didn’t break down. She was anxious about the rule set by Quentin back then-any major project required the approval of at least 75% of the executives, and making a significant decision, such as altering the project, definitely fell under that rule.
Quentin didn’t grant himself veto power in order to keep everyone satisfied at that time.
She frowned and said to the remaining executives, “I’ll discuss this with my dad, and I hope you all can give me an answer within three days.”
After saying that, she also left the company.
Today was indeed her first time going to Lambert Group, so it was normal that these people didn’t side with her.
As she had mentioned, the only way to get this plan approved was to gain the executive rights of Lambert Group. But execution rights weren’t just a matter of Quentin’s decision; she also needed to hold shares.
If she were to ask the Lamberts for shares now, she might be seen as taking advantage of the situation.
She hurriedly drove to the hospital where Quentin was. Just as she was about to open the ward door, she heard Carmen saying, “Alice did wrong because she is
too young.
“She hasn’t eaten for a whole day and night, saying that she won’t get up if you don’t forgive her. Moreover, she has returned the 100 million dollars she took over the years. She hasn’t used a single cent.”
Quentin was coughing hard, and his eyes were already filled with exhaustion.
Carmen also knew it wasn’t the right time to bring this up, and her eyes began to redden. “Then what are we supposed to do? The Hendersons have learnt about this.
“I went over the wedding arrangements with them one last time this morning, and they were really indifferent. I’m worried they might call off the wedding.”
After all, she had doted on Alice for so many years. Even though she knew Alice wasn’t innocent, she was still unwilling to see Alice starving like that. But now, she wouldn’t blindly take sides with Alice anymore.
Quentin was silent for several minutes before he blurted out, “How do you know she’s not putting on an act this time?”
Carmen was instantly stumped by the question. After all, Alice was really good at pretending her acting skills had reached a terrifying level. “But, honey…”
“Shut up! It’s because of your favoritism over the years that she’s turned out like this,” Quentin reprimanded.
Feeling a little unhappy, Carmen paused for a moment before stubbornly refuting, “Even though Alice isn’t innocent, she has always treated me well.
“Do you really think Grace is any better? She rushed to the company right after you collapsed. She’ll probably come to you soon to ask for shares and get the executive rights to the company.”
Grace paused her knocking on the door, and she was suddenly at a loss for words.
Carmen was still rambling on, but Quentin told her that he was tired.
Grace was still standing at the door when she saw Carmen walking out of the ward.
Carmen didn’t wear the usual look of disdain, but her expression was clearly unhappy. She felt that Grace was also a cunning person, as Grace could come up with the idea of a projected live stream.
Grace entered the ward, hesitating whether to bring up the matter.
To her surprise, Quentin seemed to know why she was here. “Is something wrong?”
“Dad, our company has absolute interpretative rights over the project’s construction, but the contract Alice presented to Henderson Group allows them to bring all their affiliated businesses into the mall.
“I’m thinking of pushing the boundaries a bit. If we don’t build the mall…”
Quentin sighed and looked out the window. “Have you thought about how this might offend Ethan?”
