But Yvonne wasn't worth that much money!

"Three months. I only need to bail her out for three months. Ask if the bail can be halved. If they agree, send the money immediately!"

"Yes, Mr. Hawkins."

At Amirate Corporation, Grace was having an international meeting.

Once the meeting was over, Luke knocked on her office door. "Ms. Lewis, a representative from Hawkins Group's legal department is here. They want to speak to you about Geraldine stealing company secrets."

Grace instructed, "Let our lawyers handle this. Just report the result to me."

"Yes, Ms. Lewis."

Luke left and turned to see Samuel at the door. Luke's face was expressionless as he greeted Samuel politely, "Director Walker."

Samuel smiled and said, "Mr. Ziegler, you're an old face that's been by Mr. Lewis' side for years. You don't need to be so formal with me."

Luke inclined his head slightly. "Is there anything I can help you with, Director Walker?"

Samuel looked at the closed office door. "I'm here to see Ms

    Although Grace's reaction was unexpected, Samuel didn't think much of it. He just thought that she was flustered by the turn of events and hadn't had time to fully process it.Hence, he said, "The disciplinary inspection department will find out whether he's been wrongly accused or not. They're currently at the company right now. Would you like to go and have a look, Ms. Lewis?"Grace looked meaningfully at him, then got up and walked out. In Timothy's office, a bunch of people in uniform were currently collecting all kinds of evidence. Timothy was sitting on the couch with his legs crossed, looking completely unperturbed. "Have you finished checking? If you have, can you stop interrupting my work?" Timothy said flippantly. The people in uniform ignored him and continued to look through his things. Timothy snorted coldly, his gaze gradually becoming icy. When Grace walked in and saw the scene, she looked extremely displeased. "What are you doing?"The man in uniform who wa

    When Samuel saw Grace and Timothy working seamlessly together, he huffed coldly inwardly. Then he looked meaningfully at Mr. Turner, who was standing in the distance. Mr. Turner understood at once and walked over to Timothy. "Mr. Donegan, we want to check your cash cards. Please cooperate."Timothy huffed coldly and took out his wallet from his pocket. Then, he took out the cards inside and placed them on the table, one by one. His movements carried a hint of scorn, but the cards he took out left all the onlookers flabbergasted. There were several limited-edition black cards from the top five banks in the country, and there was even a gold card from UBS!Mr. Turner was shocked. "These … these are your bank cards?"Timothy huffed coldly. "Didn't you want to check? Check them then! But I think that any of the cards here would have a limit over a few million dollars."Mr. Turner wiped the sweat off his forehead and said weakly, "Are all your cards real? They aren't fake, are

    "Or was this a trap you devised? What's your goal? To get me kicked out of Amirate?"There was silence. Timothy's words were deliberate and left Samuel unable to retort. Samuel stammered, unable to say anything coherent. Timothy ignored him and looked at Grace. He asked, "What do you think, Ms. Lewis?"Grace looked coldly at Samuel and said calmly, "Mr. Donegan is the heir of the Donegan Enterprises in Frenda. Our families had once arranged a marriage between us as well. He had only joined Amirate out of passion. "Now we've all seen what Mr. Donegan is capable of and how he single-handedly obtained the Dunhill project. I believe that Mr. Donegan is owed an explanation for today's events."Grace swept a glance across the room and finally looked at Mr. Turner. The contempt in her eyes was evident. "Since you reported him, that means you have evidence, right?"Show us the evidence. If you can't, then you can be charged for falsely accusing someone. You can be jailed for that."

    Grace and Timothy exchanged glances, both of them thinking the same thing. When Samuel saw this, he rushed out without hesitating. He grabbed Zane and pushed him in front of Grace. "You asshole, say it! Was it you? How could you frame Mr. Donegan for corruption and accepting bribes? You have some nerve!"Zane panicked. He crawled in front of Grace and begged for mercy. "Ms. Lewis, please have mercy on me! I lost my senses and made a mistake. I didn't do it on purpose!"Grace looked down at him, completely unmoved. Zane turned to beg Timothy, who was beside her. "Mr. Donegan, I beg you, please let me go … I will never do it again."Timothy squatted down slowly, his lips curving in a lethal smile. "It's not impossible to have mercy on you, but you must tell me who ordered you to do this."Zane looked up timidly at Samuel, who was standing beside them, and immediately looked down again. He took all the blame upon himself. "No one ordered me to do it. I was jealous of Mr.

    For the first time, Timothy felt that being part of the Donegan family was a good thing."Our company is taking a certain amount of risk by taking on the Dunhill project alone, so I suggest finding a company whose capability is on par with ours to collaborate with. "That way, we can greatly minimize our risk coefficient."When speaking about work, there was no sign of flippancy on Timothy's face at all. He continued, "Among the leading corporations in Pamore, apart from Hawkins Group, Futurelink Corporation has the strongest finances. "If we join forces, it will definitely maximize the results."Grace looked surprised. "Are you talking about collaborating with Futurelink Corporation?"Timothy assented, "Futurelink Corporation is the best choice. Of course …"Timothy paused for a moment and looked up at Grace. "There is another choice, which is Hawkins Group.""Benjamin?" Grace blurted out, then shook her head gently. She immediately vetoed it and said, "We won't consider

    "Mr. Ziegler, what's on the work schedule for today?"Luke was half a step behind Grace as he reported her schedule. "There's an international video conference at 10:00 am. At 2:00 pm, you have an appointment with Mr. Barnes to discuss the project, and tonight at 7:00 pm, there's Neo Group's chairman and his wife's anniversary party—""Okay, I've got it."As soon as she finished, Grace's phone rang from her pocket. "Hello, babe. Are you busy?"Emily's voice traveled from the other end of the line. "The client I told you about last time came to the boutique today. It's the one who spent three million dollars to design a dress."The client asked for you specifically. Do you think you would have some time to come over?"Grace pushed the door open to her office and walked in. "When?""I've already asked her. Any time before 12:00 pm will be fine.""Alright, I've got it."Emily hung up and took a cup of coffee over to the client. "Ms. Gold, please wait a moment. Our designer will

    "Did you come out to cause trouble again?" Grace said scornfully.Yvonne's expression changed, but she suppressed her rage and smiled instead. "Do you know why I managed to get out?"Benjamin paid a huge amount of bail! Do you get it, Grace? There's only ever been one person in his heart, and that's me. You're just the ex-wife that he looked down on."When Grace heard this, she betrayed no emotion and crossed her arms expressionlessly. "Then stay together forever. Don't come out and hurt others.""You!" Yvonne gritted her teeth and glared venomously at Grace. "I'm telling you, Grace, I'll make you go through everything that I had to experience.""If you want to go back to prison and stay there, then go ahead and try!"Grace's voice was intimidating. It felt like a physical blow to Yvonne, who had just gotten out of prison. Yvonne shuddered. She never wanted to step foot in prison again. "Just you wait." Yvonne spat vehemently. But just as she had finished speaking, the wo

    "You were the one who designed the main outfit for the Pamore fashion show, right? It was excellent. I heard many stories about you in Palisia."As she spoke, she held out her hand to Grace. "Hello, I'm Helena Gold.""Nice to meet you, Ms. Gold. Thank you for sticking up for me just now. If you come to our shop to choose clothes in the future, I'll give you a 20% discount every time."Helena smiled and said teasingly, "I just spoke according to my conscience, but it looks like I gained some benefits.""Are you here to commission a custom-made haute couture gown?" Grace asked. There was a hint of a smile in Helena's eyes, and she said, "I want a haute couture gown with a floral theme for an event. The first person I thought of was you. How about it? Do you have time to customize it for me?""Of course. Let me take your measurements right now." Grace took Helena's measurements, and the two of them had a delightful conversation. Before she left, Helena gave Grace a business card.

    "Well, it's just that since Mrs. Jarvis introduced me to Ms. Lewis last time, I haven't had the chance to say thanks."The elevator doors opened then, and Dexter left after saying this.…After two hours of emergency treatment, Diana clung to a thread of life. Grace walked out, exhausted, and saw the angry figure of Dexter.Coincidentally, Dexter saw her as well. He turned and called out to her, "Ms. Lewis."Dexter, known for being stern and upright, suddenly smiled, which surprised Grace. "Mr. Hamilton.""You don't need to address me like that outside of work. Just call me by my name."As he had a higher seniority than her, Grace didn't dare be casual. "Are you here visiting a patient?"The weather was nice today. Standing in the sunlight, Grace's complexion was shining, seemingly hovering between youthfulness and freshness. She seemed even more beautiful than the flowers.Dexter suddenly recalled something Orson had said, and his expression darkened momentarily."I must ask

    "Mr. Fulton, this.."The guard looked hesitantly at Benjamin lying on the ground and frowned."Isn't this a hospital? He won't die."As Xander said this, he coincidentally met the gaze of a nearby doctor. The doctor flinched and instinctively took a step back."Xander—" Benjamin's call suddenly came from behind as Xander took a step forward."Even if you deal with me, can you handle Alexander?"Benjamin's voice was filled with resentment and self-mockery. He lay flat on his back on the ground, staring at the ceiling. "My elder brother seems to avoid fighting, but if he does, you're no match for him."Xander paused momentarily, then continued to walk away without looking back or responding.Hazel followed closely. "Benjamin doesn't seem to be joking. Could there be a backup plan?""Someone needs to take over to completely deal with the Hawkins family. Let's see if the eldest son of the Hawkins family is willing to step up."As Xander entered the elevator, he coincidentally met

    At the entrance, the police saw what was happening and moved to intervene but were stopped. A signal to hold back was given. "Don't worry. Mr. Fulton won't cause any fatalities.""Especially since you dared to make a move against Grace." Xander gave a cold laugh. "She spent a few days in prison, so I'll make sure you repay that a thousand times over.""Xander—"Grace brought this on herself. She even dared to investigate the Hawkins family, to dig into the past of the previous Mrs. Hawkins, to investigate Alexander!" Benjamin endured the pain he felt and was on the verge of a breakdown. "By the way, do you know who Alexander is? And the person he loves the most."Xander's face turned ashen, and he applied more force, causing Benjamin to scream in agony."If you were in my position, you would do the same." Benjamin struggled to speak. "Besides, don't you want Alexander to disappear? Don't you want Grace to be yours and only yours?"Xander remained silent, looking around disdainful

    A commotion broke out again outside the hospital room. At the same moment, the medical equipment started beeping urgently. Reina's face turned pale with fright as she threw herself onto Diana. "Di Di! Doctor! Someone come quickly!"In a panic, Grace rushed out and pounded on Cael's office door. "Bed 24, Dr. Simpson! Di Di is not doing well!"Cael immediately hurried over with the nurses.Grace was pushed into a corner by the crowd. She leaned against the wall, her face filled with melancholy. This scene did not escape the eyes of someone hidden in a corner, who also felt a sense of wistfulness.She didn't notice the figure cast long shadows in the light, with her being the sole focus in their view.…Meanwhile, in another building, police stood guard at the hospital room door where Benjamin was confined. His face was haggard and unshaven, and he no longer looked like the well-dressed Benjamin Hawkins.Instead, he resembled a prisoner.Before entering, Xander asked, "What's the

    "If it were as usual, working for these wealthy families would keep money in my hands. But after Di Di's incident, our whole family got crushed. Her father wanted to give up, but I couldn't, so we divorced.""When I worked at the Hawkins family, both Mr. Hawkins and Mrs. Hawkins treated me well. Mrs. Hawkins knew about Di Di's situation and kept giving me money, but it was never enough. One day, I accidentally stumbled upon Mr. Hawkins having an affair with Susan…"Reina recalled the past with a look of melancholy on her face. "Susan gave me hush money and promised another payment if I did something for her."Grace had a hunch after hearing this. "She wanted you to frame Mrs. Hawkins, who was pregnant at the time.""I didn't want to." Reina shook her head, clearly pained. "But I have a daughter. I couldn't lose Di Di. I needed that money."Even as a mother herself, she could actually harm Felicia Wilson, Alexander's mother."The Hawkins family is wealthy. If you had told Mrs. Haw

    Grace thought about it. So that's what happened."So you had someone beat him up?""I forgot to ask. Which hand did he touch you with?" Xander asked seriously.She thought for a moment. "The left hand? I can't remember exactly.""No problem. Both hands were hit," Xander said casually as if discussing the weather. Grace remembered the content of that video. Orson was clearly heavily injured and beaten mercilessly.Luckily, he got what he deserved. Xander had fiercely avenged her.The coat slipped off, revealing her outfit for the day. Xander glanced at it and said, "You're going out."Grace didn't deny it. She thought of today's matter with Celia. "Benjamin was released for medical treatment. I want to see him."Since it had come to this point, a meeting with him was reasonable.Xander leaned back on the couch, not speaking for a moment, his jaw clenched tight. He seemed to be contemplating something, or perhaps he was angry.Grace couldn't be sure, but she was resolute. "I

    An hour later, Xander concluded the negotiations, with the partnership successfully sealed and the contract signed that day.He personally escorted the clients to the elevator and then returned to his office. Hazel approached cautiously with a cup of coffee. "Mr. Fulton.""Speak." Xander didn't look up from his documents."Ms. Lewis came by."He looked up at Hazel, his expression shifting. "Where is she?""She wanted to see you directly, but since the contract wasn't finalized, I didn't dare let her in to disturb you, so I…""I asked where she is."His gaze was icy, cutting her off mid-sentence.Hazel immediately lowered her head. "She's in the lounge."He stood up abruptly and headed straight for the lounge, leaving a stern warning, "If you take matters into your own hands again, resign."Hazel was left stunned.Grace hadn't left. Exhausted from the sleepless night, she lay on Futurelink's large couch, lost in thought.When Xander entered, he saw her fragile figure, as if

    "What is it?""Ms. Lewis, I just received news that Orson from the municipal bureau is in trouble…"Grace's expression changed. She had just seen him last night. How could something have happened so suddenly? Her first thought was of Xander.Luke sent her a video.It was night time In the video, the street outside a bar was brightly lit, and neon signs flashed from the tall buildings. The place was bustling with people. The videographer had been capturing the night scene when suddenly, the sound of roaring engines was heard—Orson stepped out of a car, dressed formally, and entered a club discreetly. But within minutes, he was kicked out, landing heavily on the ground.Approaching him were five or six masked men in black, clearly part of an organized group of thugs. Orson screamed in fear, "Who are you?"Two men grabbed him, while the others began beating him badly. His screams echoed through the street, and it was clear they were showing no mercy.Blood pooled on the ground.

    With nothing better to do, Grace nodded. "Let's watch."Caleb led her out the door.The leading actress of the film they were heading to was a friend of Caleb's in the industry, which allowed him to visit the set under the guise of catching up. As their car parked at the entrance, they saw a throng of reporters pushing their way inside.Celia wore a hat and mask. She was dragging a suitcase, and she looked disheveled and desperate.
