Chapter 139 His Protection
Just as Grace took her seat, a woman in her early 30s walked in with high heels, wearing black- framed glasses, and exuding a serious air,
Holding a stack of folders in her hand, she greeted Benjamin as soon as she entered, “Mr. Hawkins, it’s been a while.”
Hearing that, Benjamin looked up and raised an eyebrow, clearly recognizing her. “Ms.
Gardner.”
Nexa Group’s director, Wendy Gardner, nodded slightly and turned toward Grace, Her eyes were filled with undisguised scorn. “This must be Ms. Lewis, right?”
Her tone was dripping with disdain.
Sensing her hostility, Grace frowned. As far as she knew, she had never met this woman.
“Hello, I’m Grace Lewis.”
Grace spoke politely, but Wendy crossed her arms arrogantly. “I know you. You’re Mr. Hawkins
ex–wife.”
As her words fell, the atmosphere in the conference room turned cold.
“Ms. Lewis, at such a young age, you’ve managed to secure the position of Amirate’s president. It seems your capabilities are quite exceptional. I’m just curious how much you understand about nanotechnology.”
Grace smiled politely and replied, “I have a basic understanding.”
Wendy felt that Grace was just a decorative figurehead without actual abilities. The latter had only become Amirate’s president because of her family.
Moreover, she had some issues with Grace, so when she had heard that her company intended to collaborate with Amirate, she had volunteered to attend this meeting to teach Grace a
lesson.
“Ms. Lewis, competition can be fierce in the business world. If you’re not prepared, I would advise you to step down early to avoid being ridiculed.”

“Ms. Gardner, you’re overthinking it,” a male voice interjected as the door to the conference room swung open. Dressed in a dark, custom–made suit, Xander appeared at the entrance.
