One of the senior shareholders, emboldened, jabbed a finger toward Grace and cursed, "How foolish! Trading gold for gravel-I'll be watching to see just how far this road of yours takes you." Grace drew back her gaze, her eyes cutting sharp toward him. "Mr. Cowell, I wasn't aware the Walton Corporation had ever fallen under your command." The man clutched at his chest, his thinning toupee nearly slipping from his head. Grace rose to her feet.

"To conclude this meeting-Aurora Walton will no longer serve as general manager. That seat is now vacant. "From here on, the capable will rise. What matters is strength."

She knew exactly what these old foxes were plotting. Did they really think they could outplay her?

Turning to Tessa, Grace said, "Come, it's finished. There's no need to stay any longer." Tessa nodded, following her mother out, though her heart burned with dissatisfaction. Since Aurora was no longer part of the company, those shares should never have remained with her. How shameless, to still have the nerve to keep them-it was laughable. But now wasn't the time to say so. These were Grace's decisions, after all. And in the end, she was still her daughter. For the sake of the bigger picture, Tessa could only swallow it down.

At the sound, Grace quickly gathered herself, sliding the letter into her drawer before turning a sharp, displeased gaze on the intruder. When she saw it was Tessa, her expression softened only slightly. "Why didn't you knock?" Her tone carried an edge rarely heard from her. Tessa froze, startled. She had never seen her mother like this. Grace had always showered her with indulgence, never once speaking to her in such a way. Caught off guard, Tessa stammered, "Mom, I just wanted to check on you. I was...
