    Chapter 140 Reluctant Apology


    Wendy couldn’t help but think that Grace had strong tactics to have managed to gain Xander’s support so quickly.


    It was no wonder that her cousin, Yvonne, had mentioned Grace’s interference in her rtionship with Benjamin.


    She thought, “Yvonne was right. This woman isn’t easy to deal with.”


    With these thoughts in mind, she reluctantly humbled herself and quickly offered an apology. “I’m sorry, Mr. Fulton. I shouldn’t have said that. Please forg


    However, Xander replied, “I’m not the one you should apologize to, Ms. Gardner.”


    Wendy was bbergasted, for she couldn’t bring herself to apologize to Grace.


    In


    her eyes, it was Grace’s fault that the Quines had gone bankrupt and Yvonne had been imprisoned. She hade here today to teach Grace a lesson.


    “Mr. Fulton, I …”


    Xander stared at her and rhythmically tapped the table with his fingers. The atmosphere in the


    room became tense.


    His patience had its limits. Seeing Wendy’s hesitation to apologize, he stood up and adjusted his jacket.


    “In that case, there’s no need for today’s meeting. This project isn’t a must for Futurelink


    anyway.”


    “No, please!” Wendy hurriedly stopped him.


    Herpany had invested billions in the new nanotechnology project, and if she botched it, she could lose her job.


    “I’m sorry, Ms. Lewis,” she said with all the strength she could muster. She couldn’t afford to lose her job.


    Grace wasn’t particrly forgiving, but given the importance of the coboration between the twopanies, losing the project because of Wendy’s attit


    “It’s alright, Ms. Gardner.”


    As Grace said that, she nced at Xander. For some reason, the feeling of someone having her back in such a situation warmed her heart.


    On the other side, Benjamin had initially wanted to step in to help Grace, but he had been a step toote.


    Seeing Xander defend her, a feeling of emptiness surged through him, as if something that had once belonged to him had been taken away.

    Seeing this scene from the side, Larry couldn’t help but feel anxious for Benjamin.


    For some reason, he had a sense of foreboding that there was no turning back between Benjamin and Grace.


    “Sorry for the dy, everyone. I rushed over here as soon as I finished the other meeting,” Nexa Group’s president, Alvin Leroy, said apologetically.


    “No problem, Mr. Leroy.” Benjamin was the first to respond.


    Alvin politely nodded to Benjamin beforeing over to Xander. “I apologize for keeping you waiting, Mr. Fulton. Let’s begin the meeting.”


    Only after Xander nodded did Alvin take his seat.


    Wendy was surprised to see how respectful her boss was toward Xander. In fact, Leroy was being more courteous than he was with Benjamin.


    She had known that Futurelink had strong backing and that Xander had a significant background, but she hadn’t expected


    Alvin to be so apprehensive of him.


    At this thought, she clenched her hands and fixed her gaze on Grace. This woman was really something else. It was no wonder Yvonne had failed to out


    her.


    Yet, Wendy wasn’t someone to be underestimated either.


    “Ourpany’s director, Ms. Gardner here, is one of the key people in charge of this project. Let’s have her introduce the overall n


    and the basic preparations we’ve made for the


    project’s initial stages.” Alvin mentioned Wendy.


    Afterposing herself, Wendy stood up and walked to the front.
