In the Lap of Luxury
Chapter 476 Failure Is Not an Option

Under the crowd's expectant gaze, Xander asked, "I'm pretty curious. You are all directors of Amirate Corporation, right?" "Naturally."

Xander added, "Your annual dividends are tied to the company's revenue, right? Why are you all making things difficult for Ms. Lewis?"

The directors started to feel a little awkward after Xander said that.

"Why would you say that, Mr. Fulton?" one of the directors asked.

"Ms. Lewis is doing her best for Amirate Corporation, but none of you see it. Instead, you show disdain and make things difficult for her. It's like you're not even loyal to your own company." The directors' expression changed as soon as Xander said that. Tucker's face flushed as he said, "Mr. Fulton, what do you mean by that? We're all devoted to Amirate Corporation!

"If Ms. Lewis had listened to us and invested in that plot of land in the city's southern area, it would have brought great profit to the company.

"The project's revenue would also far exceed expectations. I dare say this project would have brought us profits and prestige."

Xander shook his head and said, "That's impossible!"

The directors almost stomped their feet in anger. "Do you even know what you're talking about, Mr. Fulton?"

Xander smiled calmly. "Of course. It's just that this project might not be as good as you think it is. If you don't believe me, you'll see how wrong you are in a month."

Xander didn't say anything else. He took Grace's hand and squeezed her palm lightly in support.

"Let's go, Gracie."

Grace nodded and allowed Xander to lead her away. They left the office side by side as the directors watched on.

The directors started to complain after the two of them left. They surrounded Samuel and began to pepper him with questions.

"Director Walker, what did he mean by that?"

"What does he mean we'll find out in a month? Is there something wrong with this project?"

"Xander is the CEO of Futurelink Corporation. He might not have been in Pamore for much time, but he is still backed by Fulton Group in Frenda. Is it possible that he knows some inside information?" "Director Walker, I think something fishy is going on. There's probably something wrong with this project."

Samuel was furious when he heard that.

"Nonsense! Does Xander Fulton think he's a big shot? Why should we trust his word? You all saw the news just now.

"Did you not see how Landon Group is rising to prominence because of this project? Don't listen to his lies. I don't believe that there is anything wrong with the project.

Samuel's expression was serious as he continued, "If this project fails or if anything bad happens to it, I'll change my name! Only short-sighted fools would run their mouths and make wild speculations." Seeing that, the others exchanged glances, but no one dared to speak up.

It wasn't clear if his words were meant for the directors or himself. Either way, Samuel had already put his life savings into the project. He even borrowed a hefty sum from the black market. Failure was not an option for him.

Meanwhile, Grace was still in a bad mood after she left the office with Xander. She looked outside the window as she sat in the front passenger seat. She seemed to be deep in thought. As they drove away, Grace started to feel frustrated for no reason. She sighed in resignation.
