But the authority she carried had never faded.
After all, she had been at the helm of Walton Corporation for so many years.
Managing a conglomerate of that scale had shaped her presence into something innate and commanding.
Seeing her like this, Arnold felt a sense of unfamiliarity.
Only then did he realize how different their positions truly were.
“I’m sorry, Madam Grace. I spoke out of turn. I’ll take you there right away.”
Grace gave a quiet “Mm.”
She said nothing more.
Leaning back against the seat, she looked utterly exhausted.
She knew very well that Arnold had meant well.
If she nitpicked at this point, it would only make her seem ungrateful.
Just as Aurora had said, the people who stayed by her side had always spoken for her benefit.
And what they said had always been right.
It was just that she had been blinded by Tessa.
She had never listened to either Arnold or Aurora.
If she had listened sooner, things might not have ended like this.
Aurora would not have been pushed to this point.
In the end, Grace let out a helpless sigh.
But she still spoke seriously to Arnold.
“There are some things I have to deal with now. I can’t delay them any longer.”
Hearing this, Arnold froze slightly at the wheel.
The sound of her voice caught him off guard.
Only after a moment did he realize she was explaining herself to him.
He quickly replied, “Madam Grace, you really don’t need to explain this to me.”
“It’s fine. I just wanted to say it.”
Grace sighed softly.
