Chapter 144 Failed Cooperation

Alvin caught up with them at the elevator.

“Mr. Fulton, Nexa Group has made extensive preparations for this project and invested a substantial amount of money.

“If Amirate doesn’t cooperate with us now, it will be a fatal blow for us. I hope you can give us another chance, Mr. Fulton.”

However, Xander and Grace remained silent.

As the elevator gradually approached their floor, Alvin was running out of ways to persuade them.

“Mr. Fulton, Ms. Lewis, I hope we can still have an opportunity to collaborate. I apologize for the unexpected events today, but cooperation requires some

The moment the elevator doors opened, Grace and Xander entered it.

“You can go back now, Mr. Leroy.”

Alvin’s heart sank, and he could only watch as the elevator doors closed.

Just then, Benjamin approached Alvin with Larry. “Mr. Leroy!”

Alvin quickly came to his senses and was shocked when he saw Benjamin. “Yes, Mr. Hawkins?”

“This isn’t as serious as you think. Please let me explain!”

Alvin’s head was pounding, and he waved her out of his office.

Wendy felt resentful but had no other choice.

As she left the office, she was met with judgmental looks from her colleagues. She covered her face, her eyes filled with gloom.

She quickly walked to her office and closed the door with a loud thud.

Following that, she picked up her phone and dialed a number. “Uncle…”

As she began speaking, her voice trembled, and the frustration in her heart overflowed.

On the other hand, Xander and Grace left Nexa Group and basked in the warm sunlight. He walked beside her and shared the information he had just d

“Ms. Gardner from Nexa Group is related to the Quines. Yvonne is her cousin.”

The moment Xander said that, the realization dawned on Grace. So that was the reason!

“No wonder she was targeting me with everything she said today. It’s because of this.” She
