Adeline was shocked when she saw this. Was this really her son, Reggie?Was this the Reggie who didn't want to interact with other people and who was always lost in his own world?Adeline couldn't believe this!Then, she looked at Grace gratefully.Grace held Reggie's hand. "Good boy, Reggie! You're the best!"Reggie nodded obediently.Adeline was extremely emotional. Reggie had never interacted with a stranger like this in his entire life, but Grace had managed to do it.This made her feel extremely grateful to Grace."Thank you! Thank you!"Grace shook her head slightly. "You're welcome. There's nothing wrong with Reggie, so let's not treat him as a problematic child."Adeline nodded vigorously. "I know. I know about it all …"Even though Xander and Grace hadn't managed to find out about Jessica from Adeline, they still felt that it had been worth the trip."Ms. Wentworth, if there isn't anything else, we'll take our leave. Thank you for your time today."Grace and Xande
Adeline was startled, but she shook her head.She looked at the photograph on the tombstone. "I don't know."Grace was obviously disappointed by her answer.Adeline continued, "But I can prove that she's fake."Grace's eyes lit up with hope. Adeline didn't try to hide anything. She squatted down and slowly moved the right brick in front of the tombstone. A small gap appeared, and then she pulled out a stack of documents from inside."These are the documents related to the car accident and Jessica's death certificate. And … the design drafts that Jessica once treasured the most."Grace and Xander exchanged looks, then reached out to take them.Grace took a deep breath before opening them."Jessica was burned very badly in the accident, and her parents' deaths were a huge blow to her. At some point, she lost the courage to continue living.""Even though the doctors tried their best to save her, she didn't make it."There was silence. Grace looked at the hospital documents a
"Grace, it's getting closer to the time we agreed on. Have you prepared a billion dollars?" Grace huffed coldly. With a hint of nonchalance in her tone, she asked, "Why are you so worried, Ms. Landon? It's just one billion dollars."Jessica started laughing on the other end of the phone."It seems that the Lewis family's heiress isn't like ordinary people. But I still have to remind you that if the money doesn't arrive when time is up, you shouldn't blame me for not showing any mercy."Grace raised her wrist to look at her watch. "There are still 15 hours left until the promised time. Don't be anxious, Ms. Landon. What has to come will come.""Then, I'll just wait for good news from you."She hung up, leaving only the sound of the dial tone. Grace gripped the phone in her hand tightly. "Xander, let's go back to Pamore."She would play this game with that impostor. "Ms. Lewis, I've told you everything I know. If there isn't anything else, I'll take my leave." Adeline bid the
As Callum finished talking, he waved at them. Grace spread her hands in resignation. "Xander, is he interested in my friends?"Xander raised his eyebrows. "Think carefully about it. Who would it be?"Grace shook her head slightly. "I can't guess. But matters of the heart are like that. It all depends on the person involved. Let him go ahead, then."Xander smiled fondly. "Alright, let's go."The private plane took off from Coronia and flew 30 thousand miles in the sky. Finally, it stopped at the private helipad in Pamore.Time had passed quickly, and it was already late at night. Emily and Zoey had been waiting for a long time.When they saw Grace, Emily immediately lunged at her. She pulled her into an embrace. "Gracie, you're finally back!"Grace patted her shoulder. "Alright, alright. Aren't I back now? Plus, I gained a lot from this trip."Emily let her go and hurriedly asked, "Have you found the original design drafts?"Grace murmured in assent and quickly pulled out a sta
Grace laughed. "What? You don't even recognize your own sketchbook, Ms. Landon?"Disbelief flashed in Jessica's eyes. "This … this is my sketchbook?"Grace nodded and said matter-of-factly, "Yes! I made a trip to our alma mater, Coronia University, and I found this sketchbook. What do you think? Are you interested in seeing your previous work?""You went to Coronia University?"Grace hummed in assent. "Yes, I did. I went to find evidence that could prove my innocence, but I unexpectedly found something even more interesting."Jessica looked perplexedly at her. "What did you find?"Grace waved the sketchbook in her hand with an indifferent expression. "It's all in here. Do you want to have a look?"Jessica inhaled deeply, unsure of what tricks Grace had up her sleeve.However, she didn't reveal anything in her expression.Then, Jessica reached out and snatched the sketchbook from Grace's hand.She flipped it open. She went through the design drafts for clothes, one after the
When Jessica heard this, she couldn't help laughing out loud. Her laughter was shrill and jarring to the ears. It made everyone who heard it frown.She only stopped after a long time and then pulled herself free of Grace's grip. She said coldly, "What kind of nonsense is that? If I'm not Jessica, then who am I?""That's what I want to know too."Grace looked grim as she stared at Jessica, trying to get something out of her. However, Jessica only laughed. "Is this the evidence you found, Grace? As far as I can see, this doesn't prove anything."Can this prove your innocence? I don't think so! The fact is that you plagiarized me, and I advise you not to keep badgering me or making up ridiculous excuses like this."Grace raised her eyebrows. "So you won't admit it?"Jessica looked righteous. "What do I have to admit? Do I need to prove my own identity? You don't see any burn scars on my body because I had a skin grafting operation, which covered the scars very well."As for the b
Jessica laughed arrogantly. She didn't know if Grace didn't understand how serious things were or if she just didn't care at all. Her voice was dripping with scorn as she said, "Grace, oh Grace. How could you be in the mood to drink tea at this point? Within half an hour, your reputation will be ruined. I'll see if you can still laugh then."Grace just answered carelessly, "Really? Let's wait and see."She had just finished speaking when she saw that the long hand on her watch was pointing to 10:30 am. Her lips curled. "The show has begun."Jessica didn't understand what she meant, but two minutes later, her phone rang. "Bad news, Ms. Landon. Something's happened."The voice on the other end of the phone said something, and Jessica's expression changed completely. "That's impossible … It's completely impossible."Jessica hung up at once and pointed at Grace. "It's you! You're the one who did all this! You bitch, how could you be so venomous?"Grace said slowly, "That's a bit
The two of them exchanged glances and said simultaneously, "The Quine family?""The Quine family!"There was a flash of surprise in Grace's eyes. "Xander, it looks like we had the same thought.""Just now, the fake Jessica kept going on about a billion dollars, and it's not the first time she's emphasized this amount. Only the Quine family have had a conflict with us over a billion dollars. There's no one else."In a deep, low voice, Xander analyzed the situation. The past incident between Grace and Richard over the latter's billion-dollar finger ring had spread like wildfire through the upper class society. As a result, the Quine family's reputation had suffered a great blow.After that there had been the issue with Yvonne. Now, the Quines, who had once been one of the leading families in Pamore, were completely bankrupt!This series of events were all connected to Grace in some way.Therefore, the Quine family was most likely behind the plagiarism issue."Plus, I've already c
