She stole my wedding and home! I'm done! novel

Chapter 18 The Offer That man... The same one she had glimpsed back at the Songvale hospital. Daniel's gaze cut across the table. For once, he rose. "Miss Miller." Grace was startled. The head of Titan Group, sitting across from her, in person. She had never thought of herself as anything remarkable. She only ever met power humility. Perhaps that was why so many business owners in Anston City liked her. with She wore little makeup, her elegance unadorned. A faint smile softened her lips, yet behind it was a coolness that kept others at bay. "Mr. West?" Grace asked, just to confirm.

Andrea quickly added, "This is my brother, Titan Group's president. He's been overseas the past few years. Now he's back, and he wanted to meet you personally." Grace lifted her glass. "Thank you for what you did the other day. Allow me to toast you." "Please, there's no need." Andrea smiled, then slipped out with her phone. "Excuse me, just a quick call." The room fell quiet. Grace felt restless. She had only heard rumors of Daniel. In person, he was nothing like she expected. Certainly not what one imagined of a man running an embroidery empire.

His eyes were sharp beneath half-lowered lids. His voice, deep and steady. "Miss Miller, let's speak plainly." "Go ahead." "I know many companies are trying to lure you, HarpSilk among them. Titan's interest in bringing you on board is no secret. That shouldn't surprise you." She said nothing, only sipped her water. "But HarpSilk is based in the South. Your brother is still in Songvale. That's farther away." He 1/3 Chapter 18 The paused. "And secondly, Pinnacle Designs is still here, in Anston." Grace's head lifted at that.

"I don't pry into private matters," Daniel continued, "but photos of your quarrel with Ethan on the street have already surfaced. I had Andrea suppress them." Her breath caught. "Thank you, Mr. West. And Andrea as well." His gaze pinned her in place. Eyes that seemed to see through skin and bone. "If you join Titan, whatever HarpSilk offers, we'll double. More than that, whatever business strike you wish to make against Pinnacle, you'll have free rein. No approval needed. And as for your brother, when he graduates, he'll walk straight into Titan's upper management." Ryan studied finance.

He had dreamed of helping his sister handle contracts, run deals. And Titan's high ranks were never open to outsiders. Daniel had just thrown open a door no one else could. Was she tempted? Yes. But what made her heart truly pound was the mention of Pinnacle. Striking back... that was sweeter than any promise of money. Grace drew a slow breath. "Perhaps you don't know my shares in Pinnacle bind me by contract. I can't legally join a competitor." "Titan will cover the penalty. And about shares..." Another thunderbolt. "If you agree, I'll sell you eight percent of Titan Group." Eight percent.

Equivalent to twenty percent of Pinnacle. And Titan's value was still climbing. Grace wondered how he could sell so freely, but who could refuse terms like these? HarpSilk or Titan... the choice was becoming clear. 2/3 "When would I start?" she asked. "Anytime." Daniel rose. "Andrea already gave you my card. Call me when you're ready." "Understood." They spoke no more. Business done, they parted. In her taxi back to the hotel, Grace sat dazed. Yesterday she was still at Pinnacle. Tonight she was weighing a seat at Titan.

The next morning, Ethan was roused by a call from Pinnacle's HR. Grace had come to finalize her resignation. For her, it wasn't about the paycheck anymore. But the thought of making Ethan uncomfortable? That she wanted. Once, she'd avoided upsetting him at any cost. Now she welcomed it. "Miss Miller, about your salary..." the finance officer stammered. They weren't stalling, nor trying to keep her.

She was still deputy GM and the second-largest shareholder. Her exit wasn't theirs to decide. "Pay her double her normal salary," Ethan ordered flatly. Nearly a hundred thousand. The finance officer hesitated, glancing at him. "Mr. Carter..."
