Chapter 17 The Bidding War Chapter 17 The Bidding War +10 Free Coins Grace's value was no secret. Titan Group knew her true ability. So did HarpSilk Embroidery. They moved fast. "I remember Grace's hometown is near HarpSilk's headquarters. What if she ends up..." Andrea murmured. Daniel slowly looked up. "That's how you predict competitors?" "Or?" No wonder the company's been stagnant under you for three, four years. Andrea flushed. "Then what does she need now?" "Why did she break with Ethan?" he asked. Andrea blinked.

Her smile never slipped. "In the South, your living arrangements will match your position. You'll have no worries at all." On the table, a promise of a seaside villa, both a luxury car and an RV, and a salary double the market rate.
It was generous, too generous. Grace knew then, her secret was already out. Competing under her cousin's name on the international stage, companies had taken note. She didn't deny it. Ethan had cast her aside. Now she would unleash everything she had. When Lauren saw her into a taxi, he tried once more. "We'll await your good news."
