Chapter 57 Ghers is truly outstanding. She made a strong impression during her internship at the company a few years ago. I initially thought she had made a mistake this time, but there was an unexpected twist. "Haha, Quentin, I'll let you in on a secret. The higher-ups are very impressed with her abilities, and she even managed to promote local apples this time. You should give her a call and praise her." "Sure, sure." Quentin's face lit up with joy.

After ending the call, he sighed and remarked, "Liam, you should learn from Alice. She's only been in Southbrook for a week, and the higher-ups are already calling to commend her." Liam nodded. "That's not surprising. I always believed Alice would succeed in everything she does." With Alice and Liam managing the company together in the future, Quentin, as a father, could retire peacefully. He transferred $500,000 to Alice for her to purchase something she liked.

Upon receiving the payment notification, Alice was slightly surprised, and then a smile formed on her lips. It seemed that Grace had taken the blame for her once again. Well, she deserved it. She cast a disdainful glance at the farmers outside. These rural folks would never earn $100,000 even if they toiled for a lifetime. What right did they have to block her car? They were really pushing their luck. She promptly called the security guards to drive them away.

However, the people of Southbrook were accustomed to arrogance and did not tolerate such treatment. A scuffle broke out between them and the security guards. Some even wielded sticks at the car, shattering the windows. It was then that Alice realized they were unreasonable barbarians. She screamed and sought refuge in Yancey's arms. Yancey's face was grazed by a glass shard. Holding Alice, he recalled the night he spent with Grace.

On that occasion, they encountered a large piece of glass that suddenly shattered. Yancey was left bewildered, and Grace shielded him. Grace had always been kind to him, even safeguarding him in times of danger. Now, Alice was using him as a shield. Yancey felt a stark contrast and a sense of displeasure. Just then, Alice cried, "Yancey, I think I'm injured." She showed him her scratched hand, snapping Yancey out of his thoughts. Government officials arrived to assist and rescue them.

Upon reaching the hospital, the project coordinator in Southbrook wore a grave expression and advised them tactfully, "Ms. Lambert, Mr. Henderson, you should head to Druville. People are furious here. If you stay, they might resort to force." At times, when troublemakers abound, no one can rein them in. The police could handle a dozen people, but not a hundred. Yancey took a deep breath and inquired, "What do you mean?

Alice has been diligently live streaming for days, and now you blame her for the apple quality issue?" The project coordinator, also struggling to contain his frustration, pondered. Wasn't this chaos caused by Alice and the farmers? Alice had initially spent a million dollars to win them over and drive Grace out. The situation had escalated, with both groups blaming each other. Meanwhile, Grace had gone to Northbrook and successfully sold all the apples there.

Moreover, the reviews of Northbrook apples were positive, while Southbrook apples' reputation had plummeted due to recent negative feedback about rotten produce. Alice had promised to preserve the apples, but her method of using ice cubes in thermal bags not only increased transportation costs but also proved ineffective, rendering everyone's efforts futile. The project coordinator sighed and disclosed, "Grace has sold hundreds of thousands of pounds of apples in Northbrook.

The CEO of Henderson Group has taken notice. Initially, we had ten spots shortlisted in Southbrook, but your million-dollar offer spoiled the farmers, leading them to demand ten million dollars for two spots." "Henderson Group declined, and now, those two spots in Southbrook are no longer included in the development plan." Although the project coordinator's words seemed accusatory, Alice remained composed. She feigned weakness, leaning against the wall. "I apologize.

I had intended to use that money to benefit everyone, not incite greed. I never anticipated it would lead to their avarice."
