Chapter 740
Fred’s face darkened <b>as </b>soon as he heard her mocking tone. “Hmph! You don’t need to worry about that. Right now, Matthew isn’t here. The Grant family, who value old ties<b>, </b>invited me back to take charge. <b>Valerie</b>, don’t say I’m picking on you because you’re young, Just look at the state of the Noria Group under your management these past days! It’s been a mess!”
The people around them quickly chimed in “Yeah, if you <b>can’t </b>handle it, stop pretending! Let someone more capable take over!
“Mrs. Grant, you should just stay home and take care of the kid!”
“You don’t have the ability to hold
up
the Noria Group!”
Valerie smiled <b>calmly </b>at their words. Tve been thinking the <b>same</b>, actually. So today. I’d like to hand over the new project to any of you who <b>think </b>you’re up to the task. If someone canplete it, I’ll dly step aside and let the Noria Group be run by someone more capable.”
Valerie massaged her temples, feigning exhaustion. “Whoever can get the Rosy Bay project of the ground. I’ll <b>hand </b>over my shares in the Noria Group to them
The shares <b>in </b>Valerie’s hand were given to <b>her </b>by Matthew, <b>and </b>they were quite significant.
As expected, Fred immediately jumped at the chance. “Are <b>you </b>serious<b>?</b>”
Valerie nodded. “Of course. You know, with the kid, I’m really overwhelmed. If someone can help, I’d be grateful. Charles is just an assistant, after all, and there are some things he can’t take care of, Naturally, the Grant family’s business should be managed by <b>a </b>Grant family member”
Her words struck a chord with Fred, and he quickly nodded in agreement. “You’re right. Leave this to me!”
Valerie frowned deeply. “Are you sure you want to take on this project? You’ve been away for so long. You might not be familiar with the business anymore.
Fred dismissed her concerns, “What does that matter? Even though I haven’t been with thepany for a while, we have people who can help us. As long as we have them, there’s nothing to worry about! Rest assured. There won’t be any mistakes?”
Before Valerie could say more, other members of the Grant family started to chime in. “Just let him <b>give </b>it a try!”
“<b>And </b>besides if you’re not capable, don’t hold others <b>back</b>. Not everyone <b>is </b><b>as </b>ipetent as you!”
“Exactly! Fred has worked at the <b>Noria </b><b>Group </b>for many years. If it weren’t for Matthew, he would’ve taken over the Grant family a long <b>time </b><b>ago</b>!”
Valerie sneered. “Since that’s the <b>case</b>, let’s sign an agreement. If you can’t handle it, then <b>stop </b>ming me from <b>now </b>on. I may not have much experience, but I am Matthew’s legitimate wife and a shareholder of the Noria Group! Whether I’m capable or not, even Sophia hasn’tmented on it, so you all better keep quiet!”
Valerie disyed the authority of the Grant family matriarch, and at her words, the room fell silent
Fred chuckled. “No problem. What’s the big deal about signing an agreement?
“<b>It’s </b>not just you alone. All of you will sign” Valerie demanded, pointing to several others in the room
Seeing Valerie’s determined stance, the others frowned deeply, feeling somewhat unwilling but also cornered.
Valerie crossed her arms. “What’s the matter? Are <b>you </b>scared! Or is it that you simply don’t have what it takes<b>?</b><b>” </b>
“Who’s scared? It’s <b>just </b><b>a </b>signature, nothing to worry about!” Without hesitation, Fred signed the agreement, and the rest reluctantly followed suit.
Valerie smiled, thinking <b>to </b>herself, Tim going to use this opportunity topletely entrap Fred, leaving him no time toe after me
With the agreement in hand, Fred looked at Valerie with enthusiasm. “Just you wait. This time, I’ll show you what a seasoned investor is capable of
Valerie shrugged, unfazed<b>. </b>She <b>was </b>indeed waiting, but she worried Fred night not take the bait.
Once Fred made <b>his </b>move, she’d <b>have </b>the perfect reason to pull the rug out from under him.
This project was meticulously designed to ensure Fred’s downfall, leaving him with no chance to rise again. If anyone tries to meddle with us, they’ll all be out!‘ Valerie had made up her mind.
Taking a deep breath, Valerie reminded herself of her responsibility as Mathew’s wife. She had to hold onto the Noria Group until Matthew returned
Outwardly, she was sharp and fierce, like a warrior ready for battle. But at home, she had tofort Sophia, who was deeply troubled by Matthew’s

After all, Mathew’s predicament weighed heavily on the entire Grant family-
Late at night, Valerie let her hair down andy on the bed, gazing at her baby, her heart filled with tenderness. “Matthew, you have toe back<b>. </b>You just have to. I don’t know if I can keep going without you. I’m so tired, <b>so </b>scared!”
A tear slipped down her cheek as the baby gurgled and grabbed her hand with a chubby fist, making Valerie’s heart melt. She couldn’t help but <b>kiss </b>the baby’s forehead, Matthew, the baby and I will be here waiting for you. You muste back.”
<b>Valerie </b>drifted into sleep, knowing she couldn’t afford to fall. If she did, the Grant family would be doomed.
As she dozed off, on the other side of town, Fred, brimming with excitement, headed straight for Rosy Bay with the other Grant family members.
This was a massive project. If he could pull <b>it </b>off, the profits would reach 100 million dors, giving him <b>the </b>chance to make aeback. This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org.
However, as soon <b>as </b>he arrived at the construction site, Fred’s smile quickly faded.
The site hade to a halt due to ack of funds, with <b>no </b>sufficient working capital avable
Seeing this, the Grant family members grew furious. “Fred, I’m sure this is a trap set by Valerie!”
