What shocked me most was that the person giving orders beside the bulldozer was Isabelle."Isabelle, have you lost your mind?" I shouted angrily and rushed over with Adrian.When Isabelle turned and saw us, her face twisted with hatred and pride. "Adrian, you finally came!"She waved the metal pipe in her hand with a vicious look. "You think getting me expelled from school means I'm finished? Mr. Gordon is a good man. He not only gave me 20,000 dollars, but he also sent these people to help me deal with you. Today, I'm going to ruin both of you. Keep smashing everything! Then call the reporters and tell them Holt Group is using force to break the law and refusing to pay its workers!"The thugs immediately surrounded us, gripping their metal pipes.Adrian pulled me behind him and stared coldly at her. "Isabelle, you really are useless. Do you think Gordon will protect you? He's only using you. If anything goes wrong, you'll be the first one to take the blame!""Shut up!" Isabelle comple

"Damian, stop playing dumb." She walked up to me and spoke with complete seriousness.After saying that, she turned around, got into her car, and drove away.I stood there, my heart beating fast.When Adrian finished dealing with everything and came over, he bumped my shoulder. "Well? She is head-over-heels, isn't she?"He laughed excitedly. "Damian, I respect how you handle business. But when it comes to love, I'd say Ms. Grant is definitely your match."My face turned red as I put an arm around him. "No. Making money is the most important thing. I'll worry about love later! Let's go. Let's head home!"After what happened at the construction site, Adrian and I placed the recordings and evidence on my father Benjamin Holt's desk.Benjamin wasn't in good health, but he could still tell right from wrong.In the end, Gordon was stripped of all authority to interfere with the Grandview Creative District project. He also received an official warning from the company.Adrian and I could fina

Everyone in the room was shocked.Gordon's face turned ugly, but he quickly regained his calm and gave a vicious laugh. "Adrian, do you really think you can bring me down with some fake charts? No chance."He pulled another document from his briefcase and slammed it onto the table."Holt Group's biggest overseas chip supplier is on my side. With one phone call, I can cut off the core hardware for the AI district. And that's not all. The three biggest distributors in the southern region jointly submitted withdrawal requests this morning!"Gordon placed both hands on the table and glared at me. "If I go to prison, Holt Group's entire supply chain will collapse tomorrow. Its stock will crash. Let's see if you really dare to do this!"The conference room fell completely silent.Several neutral directors who had supported me moments ago turned pale and began to worry.I stood up, crossed my arms, and smiled. "Gordon, I'll admit, that's a nasty move. Too bad you've underestimated me. And you

She walked over to me with a glass of champagne in her hand."Ms. Grant, why aren't you eating crab tonight? Did you switch to champagne?" I teased.Natalie suddenly dropped to one knee in front of me.The whole room erupted in shock. Everyone turned to look at us.She pulled out an extremely luxurious velvet box and slowly opened it.Inside was a sparkling blue diamond ring and a thick stock transfer agreement.Natalie looked at me; every word deliberate—earnest yet commanding. "Damian, Grandview Creative District succeeded, and you now have full control of Holt Group. It's time for you to keep the promise you made to me years ago."She held the agreement out to me and continued, "This is a newly established billion-dollar acquisition fund from Luminex Group, along with 50% of my personal shares in Luminex Group. This is my gift to you. Damian, I've liked you for a long time. Will you be my boyfriend, or better yet, my husband?"I was so shocked and happy that I froze.Beside me, Adri
