Daring to negotiate with him and even asking for his shares, she was overestimating herself.
“If Mae–Mae can’t solve it, I will leave the Gray family and never ask for a penny from them again,” Jean quickly added before Mae could respond.
Peter sneered. Regardless of whether Mae could really solve the problem, at this moment, he had no choice but to agree to her terms.
“Fine,” he said, causing a stir among the crowd.
“Peter actually agreed.”
“Let’s see how Mae handles the situation.”
Mae returned to the control panel and skillfully started typing again. Jennifer, who had quietly approached Mark, noticed the attention focused on Mae and Mark’s unwavering gaze fixed on her Her coldness grew deeper.
“Mark, why don’t you let Mae–Mae step down? With so many people here and so many reporters, if she makes a fool of herself, who knows how they’ll ridicule her tomorrow,” Jennifer pretended to worry while watching Mae’s confident figure.
Mark remained silent, gazing at Mae, his eyes filled with complex emotions.
“Mark…”
Seeing that Mark didn’t respond, Jennifer felt a pang of dissatisfaction but was interrupted by him, “Stop bothering me.”
His low and impatient voice, devoid of affection, made Jennifer’s face change slightly. She glanced around and saw that no one noticed her, so she let out a sigh of relief.
“The robot can shrink to the size of a phone!”
Someone exclaimed in disbelief as they saw Mae continue to operate the keyboard rapidly.
One robot function after another was demonstrated by Mae, creating a climax at the opening
ceremony.
Peter was first shocked by Mae’s abilities. He never thought she would be this skilled.
Then, he silently breathed a sigh of relief, glad that the opening ceremony had not been ruined.
He glanced at Mark, who remained silent and stoic, wanting to compliment him, but considering his relationship with Mae, he refrained from doing so.
At this moment, Mae had finished operating all the functions and returned to stand in front of Peter. With her arms crossed and her chin slightly raised, she said, “Peter, remember to keep your promise.”
Peter’s eyes narrowed slightly, ready to deny that he had ever promised Mae anything. But then he noticed Mae glancing at the robot on the stage and saying, “I can make this robot perform at its best, but I can also turn it into a pile of scrap metal. It all depends on whether you are a man of your word or not.”
Peter’s triumphant expression was replaced by a dark and threatening one. “Are you threatening me?”
Mae smiled sweetly, “Peter, you are too serious. This is just a friendly negotiation.”

Peter stared at her, his eyes filled with menace. After a moment, he chuckled, “Miss Lee, do you know that Mark is also involved in this project? If you cause trouble, he will also suffer some losses.”
Mark, who had been cued into the conversation, frowned slightly, slightly displeased. However, he hid his emotions well, secretly hoping to see how Mae would respond.
As if only now noticing Mark’s presence, Mae looked at him, nodded politely, and greeted him, “Mr. Smith.”
