The Grants: Choosing One Between The Two-Chapter 178: Yvette Aston and Ethan Grant’s Seamless Teamwork

Chapter 178: Chapter 178: Yvette Aston and Ethan Grant’s Seamless Teamwork

Leaning against the car door, Michelle Lockwood looked over with a half-smile. "What a scene."

Caden Summers’ face was already dark. The man shouting and causing a scene at the kindergarten entrance was clearly here to stir up trouble.

"What’s your problem?" Caden walked over and lifted the man’s collar from behind.

The man glanced at Caden, initially wanting to get angry, but he wasn’t as tall as Caden, so he shrank back. "I’m Summers’ dad. Where’s Yvette Aston? She’s my woman. She was my girlfriend before she went to prison, and now that she’s out, she’s avoiding me?"

The man’s voice was loud, attracting everyone’s attention. The parents who came to pick up their kids all took out their phones to start recording videos, posting them to class groups, social media, and Weibo.

Once again, Yvette Aston was thrust into the spotlight.

"Why are you making a fuss?" Caden was a bit angry and wanted to shut the man up, but with so many cameras pointed at them, he couldn’t resort to violence.

"You thinking of hitting me? I’m Yvette Aston’s man. I took care of her before she went to prison, and Summers is my son. Now she’s moved up in the world, clinging to Ethan Grant, planning to ditch me!" The man pushed Caden away, shouting loudly.

"Where’s Yvette Aston? Tell her to come out!"

"If Yvette doesn’t come to see me today, then I’m not leaving. Nobody leaves."

The man came prepared, even bringing a banner.

Accusing Yvette of abandoning her husband and child.

Michelle Lockwood watched the scoundrel create a scene with interest, then looked at Caden, whose face was dark with anger but was helpless against the scoundrel.

Indeed, people who are too honest are easily bullied by scoundrels.

...

Grant Group.

Christopher Carter returned from outside and saw Eric Larson’s resignation application.

He was stunned for a moment, his jaw almost dropping. "Mr. Grant... how did Yvette Aston manage this? It’s amazing, truly amazing."

"Take a look at this." Ethan Grant opened the email, and the project department collectively submitted resignation applications. What does this mean?

It’s a show of defiance against Ethan Grant.

"Has everyone in the project department gone crazy?" Christopher was a bit angry. "Mr. Grant, what should we do? If we really fire Eric Larson, wouldn’t it cause too much loss to the project department?"

"The Grant Group isn’t a place they can come and go as they please." Ethan Grant leaned back in his chair. "Have you prepared everything that Yvette requested?"

"Yes, we’ve got leverage on the ringleaders." Christopher nodded.

"Contact them privately. If they don’t withdraw their resignation applications by tomorrow, terminate them all."

Ethan Grant’s voice was low.

"Mr. Grant... how did Yvette manage this?" Christopher truly thought Yvette was amazing.

"It’s a form of manipulation and deceit. He thought I needed to win him over, believing the company couldn’t function properly without him, so he thought he could bind me, using his resignation as leverage to get me to agree to all his unreasonable demands." Ethan Grant sneered.

Men either fall to greed or to women.

Eric Larson got caught by both.

Yvette Aston understood human nature too well.

No matter how much Eric Larson asked for, or how unreasonable it was, she agreed, except for the part involving his mistress, which she used to provoke him.

Losing face in front of a woman would definitely upset his mistress, and the more trouble his mistress caused, the more Eric Larson wanted to prove himself.

He thought threatening with resignation would lead Ethan Grant to compromise.

"Voluntarily resigning saves us a lot of trouble."

Ethan Grant spoke lightly, a smile playing at his lips.

That way, even if Arthur Grant stirred up trouble, it would be futile.

After all, it was Eric Larson who proposed to leave. What could he do about it?

Christopher was left stunned, giving Ethan Grant a thumbs up. "Mr. Grant, Yvette Aston has truly done a great job recently. If she hadn’t discovered your computer was hacked, our losses would have been huge. We should really reward her."

Ethan Grant raised an eyebrow, "Do I need you to tell me?"

"Mr. Grant, give her a bonus!" Christopher couldn’t read the room, persistently pushing for a bonus for Yvette.

"Are you too free?" Ethan Grant didn’t want to talk to Christopher.

"Mr. Grant, you can’t be stingy. Yvette has really done a great job this time." Christopher continued to ramble, trying hard to show off in front of Yvette when she returned. "Mr. Grant, I think we should celebrate. If you’re not available, I’ll take Yvette out for a good meal after work."

Yvette Aston returned from the HR department and heard Christopher offering to treat her to dinner. "No... no need, really."

She still needed to go home and cook dinner for Mr. Grant.

"Why not? You’ve won a great battle this time, I must take you out for a good meal. Don’t worry, if Mr. Grant is stingy, I’ll use my salary to give you a bonus." Christopher walked to Yvette’s side, whispering and patting her shoulder.

Yvette nervously looked at Ethan Grant, stepping back to keep a distance from Christopher.

"Yvette, what would you like to eat?" Christopher continued to boast.

"No... no need." Yvette cautiously looked at Ethan Grant, his face already frighteningly dark.

"Of course there’s a need, let’s eat!" Christopher had already taken out his phone, ready to book a restaurant. "I know an amazing Japanese place, I’ll take you there after work."

"Unfortunately, you’re not getting off work today." Ethan Grant knocked on the table. "You have to work overtime."

"Wh... why?" Christopher asked.

"Because I just agreed to Eric Larson’s resignation, so tonight you’ll have to work late to mobilize the rest of the project department." Ethan Grant said casually.

Christopher’s mouth twitched, feeling like Ethan Grant was a demon.

"Alright... let’s celebrate another day." Christopher didn’t forget to comfort Yvette.

Yvette took a deep breath, speaking quietly. "Mr. Grant, tomorrow morning, can we hold a farewell party for Eric Larson, the grander the better."

Christopher was shocked, giving Yvette a thumbs up. "Such a cunning move, impressive..."

Ethan Grant smiled. "Yes, very good idea."

A farewell party, a grand send-off for Eric Larson, could serve as a warning to Jayden Grant and Melody Crowe, hoping they received the message.

Some people were happy, some were not. Christopher, who had to work overtime, walked away with a gloomy face.

"Mr. Grant..." Yvette was a little scared. "Will Jayden Grant and Melody Crowe lash out?"

"Mad dogs only jump out to bite people; we have every right to defend ourselves." Ethan Grant said with deep meaning.

Yvette took a deep breath and nodded. "The next one to deal with is Secretary Ziegler."

Ethan Grant looked at Yvette meaningfully; she walked her path steadily.

What to do... the more he saw her, the more he liked her.

"Let’s go pick up Summers." Ethan Grant shut down the computer and took Yvette’s hand to leave.

"But... today my brother is picking up Summers." Yvette was momentarily stunned.

"Weren’t we going to celebrate? We’ll have dinner with Summers and then send him back to Caden’s place." Ethan Grant raised an eyebrow. "Celebrate our seamless cooperation, perfect teamwork?"

Yvette blushed, nodding. "Sure..."

Although it was a bit early to celebrate now, the crisis wasn’t resolved and was actually more intense.

But Yvette... was greedy.

Greedy enough to want to be alone with Summers and Ethan Grant.
