She sounded very innocent, but upon careful recollection, she had indeed never explicitly instructed those people to break their contract with Grace when she offered them a million dollars. She was simply skilled at linguistic manipulation and would never say anything that could be detrimental to herself. This way, she could easily disengage herself from the problems. The project coordinator was at a loss for words.

Now, there were problems with the apples from Southbrook while the apples from Northbrook were improving. Moreover, the CEO had taken an interest in Northbrook. It was hard for Southbrook to go and beg them to return, especially when the farmers wouldn't budge without being offered ten million dollars. "Ms. Lambert, please go back. The farmers have become even more agitated ever since you arrived. Our small place can't accommodate such a big shot like you," the coordinator remarked bluntly.

Alice's expression changed several times, but she didn't lose her cool. She just smiled apologetically. Seeing her like this, Yauery felt heartbroken and hugged her tightly. "It's okay, Alice. We'll head back to Deuville now. No one would like to come to such a poor place anyway." Alice had the same thought; Grace had taken the blame for this failed mission while Alice had received pocket money of a thousand dollars from her family. Yancey had also promised to buy her a luxurious cat.

She had earned an extravagant sum a few days ago, so there was no need for her to get angry with a bunch of low-level people. Hearing Yancey's words, the project coordinator's face turned red with anger. "Mr. Lambert, are you blind? Do you think Alice is a good person? She incited the farmers to break the contract with Grace and keep it a secret, causing Grace to spend a whole day and night fulfilling over 20,000 orders that couldn't be shipped.

It's this scheming woman who drove Grace away step by step. If you keep indulging her, you'll regret it sooner or later, just like me." He had finally seen through the facade of Alice. She was just a rich girl who came to pretend to care about the people with an arrogant attitude the whole time. She even did her livestreams in a fancy guesthouse and never set foot in the orchards. Grace, on the other hand, went straight to the orchard on her first day and worked through the night.

The project coordinator regretted it deeply, but he had also tacitly approved the farmers' actions that made money at Northbrook. Yanory was so angry that he immediately took Alice back to Deuville. When Alice returned to the Lambert residence, the Lamberts were in a happy mood. She was a little surprised and asked, "Dad, Mom, what's going on?" Quentin sat on the couch with a satisfied look, and Carmen also looked proud.

"Alice, the higher-ups called your dad and said that the farmers came together to give you a plaque. We'll probably hear news of us winning the bid soon. Come, sit here. You've lost a lot of weight these days." Alice was a bit taken aback. When she departed, weren't the farmers still seething with anger and hating her to the core? Could it be that they were trying to flatter her because of the one million dollars?

A hint of disdain flashed in her eyes; it was just a cheap plaque, which could be bought online for a few bucks. She wasn't interested in it at all. But seeing how happy her family was, she just accepted the compliment without hesitation. "They were still very angry when I was there. I thought they were dissatisfied with me. They probably regretted it after learning that I had left, so they decided to gift me the plaque. Dad, it's good that I can help the company.

I'm not tired at all." Carmen was all smiles. Alice really had no idea about this. It turned out that Brookfield was involved in other projects as well. No wonder Ethan had gone there himself. If the higher-ups really did call to praise her, would Ethan also be impressed by her? She smiled, believing that she could win him over. Soon, Quentin's phone rang again. "Quentin, haven't you gone to Brookfield yet? Several people from the higher-ups have already arrived there.

Your daughter is also on the invitation list. I saw her name. The reporters have been invited too, and the interview will be featured in the local newspapers. The company will definitely get some policy benefits. How can you be so relaxed? Why haven't you departed yet?"
