The note read, "You won't get anything from me! My life is worthless. It doesn't matter if you kill me." Grace tore the paper apart, sneering, "You think you're tough! Do you think I can't find out? The men remained unmoved. Grace spoke up. "Pamore, Max Stiller." One name sent them into a puddle of confusion, and the men seemed nervous. Grace narrowed her eyes and said, "I guess I was right.""No, this has nothing to do with Max. We didn't like you and wanted to shut you up." Grace didn't believe their excuses. "It's a bit late for all this now," Grace said, already standing up with her back to them, her tone cold. "If you're acting worthless, we'll treat you like trash!" "Yes, ma'am." Grace finished speaking and left without looking back, and the others began to plead desperately when they realized Grace was serious. "Ms. Lewis, spare us." "We were wrong." "We won't do it again." "Please, give us a chance."But Grace said nothing and ignored them, walking
However, as soon as Vivian spoke, she saw the live broadcast in the office. Her eyes widened in shock, and she stood there dumbfounded. "How ... how is this possible?" Vivian murmured to herself, her face filled with disbelief. It turned out that Grace was the heiress of the Lewis family. That meant that Vivian offended someone she shouldn't have. She felt so regretful that she wanted to pop some pills to calm herself down.Seeing this, Kenneth snapped, "Look at what you've done. Our partnership with Amirate Corporation has fallen through. Do you know how much the company will lose?" Vivian shivered. However, she wasn't thinking about the company's losses, but Grace. She had offended Grace. If Grace wanted to settle the score in the future, it would be as easy as crushing an ant. "Mr. Williams, Gina was the one that caused this. It has nothing to do with me. Now that Gina has been fired, please calm down." Kenneth sighed helplessly upon hearing this.Now that things hav
Grace quickly turned away, too shy to look at him. Even though he had made his feelings clear, she still dared not respond to him in the slightest. For a moment, time stood still. After a long pause, Xander took the initiative to reach out and stroke her hair. "You don't have to give me an answer now. Take your time to think it over. I'm not in a hurry." Only then did Grace raise her eyes and look at him.Memories of them together flashed through her mind. Perhaps she would never find someone who treated her as well as he did. "Xander, give me a little more time, okay?" Xander nodded and replied, "Sure." Grace took a deep breath, raised her eyes, and looked toward the distant sky.Even though she had tried hard to forget the past and let go of the obsession in her heart, for some reason, a part of her still missed the passionate young man who had fought for justice on the university campus. Grace couldn't help but think of Benjamin. However, he wasn't the same man
Vivian's expression fell, and she hastily explained, "That's all in the past. She has nothing to do with me now." Grace wasn't an idiot. Vivian's behavior today was a stark contrast to before, and there could only be one reason for such a difference. It was simple. Vivian must have learned about her true identity! Grace laughed, but the smile didn't reach her eyes. "Ms. Myers, a mere assistant wouldn't have the guts to do such a thing on her own unless ... she was instructed by someone."Vivian's face turned pale at her words. She still wanted to explain herself. Nevertheless, Grace had no intention of listening to her explanation. "Ms. Myers, spend more time focusing on your work. Stop getting involved in useless matters. Us businesspeople talk by showing results."With that, Grace turned around and left with Xander. She had nothing more to say. Vivian was left standing there, rooted to the spot. Deep down, she regretted everything.… After Amirate Corporation signe
Grace nodded. Luke took out a small knife and opened the package. Suddenly, photos scattered all over the floor. He quickly picked them up and handed them to Grace. "Ms. Lewis, take a look!" Grace smirked upon seeing those photos. "Now, everything makes sense." She hadn't expected the mastermind behind the scenes to be someone she knew. "Since Yvonne is involved, this has just become more interesting."Grace smiled and said coldly, "The last time, she got lucky and only spent a few months in prison. This time, I'll make her understand that there are people and things she shouldn't mess with." "Ms. Lewis, shall I handle this matter for you?" Grace shrugged. "It's fine. I'll personally take care of this."… Meanwhile, Yvonne was unaware that her scheme had been exposed. She thought Grace was as good as dead in Dunhill.So she was in a very good mood and went shopping with the black card Benjamin had given her. She bought so much stuff that the bodyguards' hands were fu
Emily's face fell when she heard that. "What did you say?" Seeing her panicked expression, Yvonne laughed maliciously. Finally, the day she had been waiting for had arrived. "You don't believe it? But it's true. Grace is as good as dead in Dunhill, and I believe this news will reach here soon." Emily was furious now. She grabbed a broom and swung it at Yvonne. "You bitch! You're nothing but a homewrecker, or trash in the garbage dump! How dare you spout nonsense here? Watch me beat you to death!"Yvonne quickly dodged and jeered, "Hahaha! You can keep cursing me!" "Curse me all you want. Grace won't come back to life. Her body might not even be returned in one piece. "I advise you to prepare for her funeral. Pray hard, and she might bless you in the afterlife." Emily remained silent, and her eyes turned red. Then, she chased after Yvonne and gave her a hard slap on the face. However, Yvonne felt no pain as she continued to laugh heartily. Her bodyguards quickly i
Emily hummed and said, "That vile woman is becoming more and more arrogant." Grace tried to calm her down. "Let her gloat some more. Her time will come. I'll settle the score between her and me." There was a glint in Grace's eyes. After she hung up, Luke walked in. "Ms. Lewis, we've contacted Max. He has invited us to meet at Panola Manor tomorrow at 8 pm." A sly smile appeared on Grace's lips. "Tell him we'll be sure to arrive on time." Luke reminded her, "Should we inform the headquarters in Frenda and arrange for some men as backup?""There's no need. Bring our local security personnel. We're meeting him out in the open. This is a lawful society. They won't do anything foolish." "Yes, Ms. Lewis." After Luke left, Grace looked out of the window, overlooking the entire city. She tapped rhythmically on the desk as if she were calculating something.… The next evening, a group of bodyguards waited at the entrance of Amirate Corporation at 7:00 pm. Grace didn't tell
Max was unaware of this matter, so he asked in confusion, "Explain what?" Grace smiled calmly and replied, "Now that things have come to this point, there's no need for you to play dumb." Max's face immediately darkened, and he turned to Shane. "What happened? What did you do to offend Ms. Lewis? Tell me the truth." Shane's expression turned dark, and he leaned in to whisper something. Upon hearing it, Max slammed the table, exclaiming, "You reckless idiot!"Startled, Shane quickly tried to appease him. "Max, don't be mad. It was a moment of impulse." Max tried to calm himself down and stay level-headed before Grace. Shane had been with him for many years. He was Max's right-hand man. It seemed unlikely that he would dispose of Shane just for Grace. So he smiled apologetically and said, "Ms. Lewis, perhaps there's a misunderstanding here?" Grace had a rough idea of what was happening and responded, "Max, I almost lost my life, and you're telling me that it's a misunder
