"Grace, leaving Henderson Group was the right decision. I told you before that Uncle Ethan isn't a good person. Maybe the reason he promoted you to the top floor was only because he's interested in you," Yancey said.

As soon as he said that, Alice suddenly burst into laughter.

"Do you really think Mr. Ethan is interested in Grace?"

She laughed so hard, as if she had just heard the funniest joke in the world. She was even brought to the point of tears.
