MainNovelChapter 1116:
Milton let out a mocking laugh. “So none of it was on you? Everything that went wrong was somebody else’s
fault? That's a bit absurd, don’t you think? A company of that size doesn’t just collapse overnight. Are you saying
neither you nor your father, as the company’s top leaders, has any blame? I'd really like to hear your explanation
for the Wilson Group's downfall.”
Gracie struggled to cup with an answer. “Hector was behind everything. He set my father andup. We
had nothing to do with the collapse. Why are you putting all the blon us?”
Devastation threatened to overwhelm Gracie as she scanned the faces of the executives. She had worked
tirelessly to build good relations with them, seizing every opportunity to win their favor whenever she was at the
company. They had always been friendly, yet at this crucial moment, not a single one stood by her side.
Anger surged through her, boiling over as she said, “I'm more than capable! You have all seen my resume. Why
do you not believe in my ability?”
Unmoved, the executives sat in silence, their faces blank, acting as if she hadn't spoken at all.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtDesperation pushed Gracie to turn to Ethan. “Ethan, you knowbetter than anyone here. | can manage the
drone project. If you won't vouch fornow, then who will?”
All she wanted was a chance, a way to prove her worth and feel she mattered. Why was it so hard for her to get
it?
Tears slipped down her cheeks, impossible to stop. Lately, nothing good seemed to have happened to her.
Ethan found himself unwilling to offer Gracie any words of comfort while surrounded by a room full of executives,
least of all with Brenna watching. Besides, the two projects had already been examined and debated in detail.
“We're finished here,” he said. “Milton, you're in charge of the drone project. Otis, you coordinate with Waldo.
Meeting adjourned.”
Papers rustled as Brenna packed up her things, passing her neatly prepared proposals to Milton and Otis before
she went to discuss other finance projects with Ethary.
Watching the handoff, Gracie snatched the documents, confirming her worst suspicions — they contained
thorough analyses for both the drone and Waldo initiatives, with clear figures on the market, costs, and profit
forecasts.
As the executives trickled out and the younger staff followed, only three remained in the meeting room: Ethan,
Brenna, and Gracie.

A heavy ache settled in Gracie’s chest as she turned to Ethan. “I really thought you were on my side. | figured it
was upper management keepingout of these projects, not that you'd lost faith in me. Turns out, you see me
just like they do, as a liability.”
Ethan's expression never changed. “Gracie, company projects aren't about personal feelings. Every decision
affects people’s livelihoods. The drone project alone is a thirty-billion-dollar investment. | have to be cautious
about it.”
Logic always cfirst ua Ethan.
