She posted a task carrying a two-million-dollar reward.
The details, of course, were hidden—only those who accepted the task would get the information.
Within two hours, someone had accepted the task.
By Monday, Ethan was back in the boardroom, leading a high-level meeting to discuss the collaboration between
the Chapman Group and the Mitchell Group.
“Mr. Burke, update us on the progress,” Ethan said, eager to hear how Henley had handled Gracie’s former
responsibilities.
“Yes, Mr. Mitchell. The talks have stalled. The vice president of the Chapman Group isn’t satisfied with our

Ethan immediately said, “We can’t agree to that. At that price, we're better off buying from Bluepeak Chips.
Their products outperform the ones from the Chapman Group.”
Henley said, “Mr. Mitchell, negotiations are at a deadlock. The Chapman Group won't lower its price, and Miss
Wilson's quote is also high with poor cost-effectiveness. Maybe it’s twe consider working with BluePeak
Chips instead.”
Ethan said, “That would raise our costs significantly and eat into our margins. Our products target the mid-to-low
market—we can't afford that.”
Just then, Rex entered and bent slightly to whisper to Ethan. “Mr. Mitchell, the vice president of the Chapman
Group has just been in a serious car accident in Plomond. A dump truck overturned at an intersection and
crushed her car. It’s unlikely she survived.”
A young woman's eyes sparkled with delight as she joined the lively crowd. “Isn’t that Dalton? Oh my goodness,
| absolutely adore him!” she exclaimed, unable to contain her excitement at seeing him in his dashing
groomsman attire. She shouted his nwith fervor.

Dalton, catching her gaze, offered a warm wave and a charming smile that only fueled her excitement.
Boldly, the woman called out to him, “Dalton, how much do they pay you to be a groomsman today? Could |
book you for my wedding?” Her question sparked a wave of laughter from the onlookers.
Her friend, equally charmed by Dalton’s charisma, teased her playfully, “Are you serious? Do you have that kind
of money?”
Dalton, in a good mood, responded with a grin, “It's a family wedding today, so I'm here out of love, not for a
fee.”
His kind words sent the young woman into a flurry of joy. “Dalton actually spoke to me!” she squealed, her face
glowing as she hurried closer. “Can we take a photo together, please?”
“Absolutely,” Dalton replied graciously, posing patiently as several young women eagerly lined up for photos.
Meanwhile, Ethan, another striking figure among the groomsmen, drew whispers from the crowd. “Look at him—
he’s even more dashing than a celebrity. Who could he be?”
“I've seen him before—on the cover of a finance magazine. | think he is the CEO of smajor corporation!”
“Have you seen those groomsmen? Absolutely handsome!”
“Did you hear? The gifts they brought include multiple property deeds and two luxury cars! The Richardson's
daughter is truly living the dream.”
“I'm so jealous! I'll never see that kind of wealth in my lifetime!”
Despite the Harper family’s efforts to keep the matter low-key, news of the extravagant gifts spread like wildfire
online.
