Jodie stomped her foot several times, wanting Ethan to step in and stand up for her.

Ethan only glanced at her, noticing that Grace was bent over, slowly picking up the documents scattered on the floor. He felt his heart tighten.

"Grace," he called out.

By the time Grace straightened up, she was still holding the documents in her hands, and a polite smile appeared on her face.

"I understand. You want me to apologize to Ms. Henderson, right?" she said.

She gave a small bow. "I'm sorry, Ms. Henderson, but the CEO of Yule Group is still waiting for me, so I'll have to excuse myself."

With that, she turned and walked out, not even sparing a glance at Ethan.

Jodie watched her leave, nearly bursting into an angry scream.

"Uncle Ethan, do you see that? She clearly doesn't care about you at all! Fire her! Anyone could do this job. She's just a lowly worker!"

"Jodie."

Ethan's voice suddenly turned serious.

Jodie's heart skipped a beat, and she realized she had crossed a line. She quickly apologized, "I'm sorry! I said the wrong things. Uncle Ethan, please don't be
