"It's not looking good for the patient. He has problems with his heart, and we need to urgently do a coronary artery bypass grafting procedure on his heart. If you're his family, then please sign the consent form as soon as possible."As he spoke, the doctor handed the surgery consent form to Benjamin. After a moment's hesitation, Benjamin picked up a pen and signed his own name. "No matter what, please try your best to save him.""Don't worry, we'll do our best."Then, there was silence in the corridor once more. When the doctor had returned to the operating theater, Benjamin instructed, "Larry, contact the best heart specialist in the world and get them here immediately.""Yes, Mr. Hawkins."Larry went off to the side at once to make calls. Then, Benjamin looked at Grace. He commanded her to leave at once. "Grace, there's nothing else to do here. You should leave."Grace didn't say anything, but truth be told, she was worried for Richard. She hadn't expected things to get to
In the office, the assistant reported carefully, "Jion, several of our partners have terminated their contracts with us. They've forcefully sued us to get compensation for breach of contract."The suppliers who have already paid are applying to return the products. The store can't hold anymore, and the clothing factories have stopped production."This incident is seriously affecting us. Doing PR for the news online isn't working. No one cares about the price we're offering."There was silence. When Jessica heard the updates, she was enraged. She angrily swung a hand across everything on the table, sending documents flying to the ground. "Damn it! Get lost, all of you!"Even though the assistant was frightened by Jessica's outburst, he continued speaking patiently. "Jion, if this goes on, our studio will be forced to close down sooner or later—"Jessica roared, "Then, let's close down! You all are just useless trash, and it's not worth keeping you anyway! What are you here for
Someone even started a live stream on their phone, and the number of viewers began increasing rapidly. There were almost one million people watching. "Jion, can you answer our questions?""You were the one who plagiarized Ms. Lewis' designs from the very beginning, but you falsely accused her of plagiarism and reported her. Where did you get the confidence to do that? Did you really think that the truth would never come to light? Or were you just betting on getting lucky?""Jion, what do you plan to do next? Will you apologize to the fans who once supported you?"Jessica covered her ears, not wanting to hear any of the reporters' questions. She kept shaking her head as she muttered, "I didn't plagiarize. I've been framed. This is all slander! All of you, get away from me! Get away!"But the reporters gave her no chance at all and kept their microphones and cameras in her face. She had no room to breathe. "Jion, please answer our questions."Jessica's mind went blank. She fel
It was hard to answer Grace's question because Jessica had disappeared. Half an hour later, Zoey sent her a message. "Gracie, Jessica's disappeared."Grace was startled. "What did you say?"Zoey explained, "The person I hired to follow her said that she got out of a car right at the hospital's entrance. But then she was immediately whisked away in a black car."Grace clenched her fist when she heard that."She was taken away?""It looks like the other party is professionally trained. Their movements were practiced, and by the time my guy realized what was happening, Jessica had already disappeared.""Okay."Grace hung up, her eyes darkening. She looked toward the tightly closed door of the operating theater, where Richard was still undergoing surgery.Jessica had already shown up at the hospital, which showed that she and the Quines didn't have an ordinary relationship.But then who had taken her away?… That night, the hospital was quiet, and there was no one in the corrid
If the Quine family hadn't gone bankrupt and Yvonne hadn't suddenly disappeared, Jessica wouldn't have come back.And Danielle would still have been dead in everyone's memory."Danielle, I'm sorry about Yvonne." Benjamin didn't explain much. A simple apology conveyed everything."Ha, it's quite rare to hear an apology from the mighty Mr. Hawkins. But I don't need your apology. I just need your help to revive my family."Let's join forces against Grace. I want to crush her and destroy her completely. I want her to experience what losing everything feels like," Danielle said with determination.Benjamin's eyes sank, and he directly rejected her. "While I'm around, don't even think about touching Grace."That sentence was enough to express his stance.Danielle was surprised. Benjamin, who was known for his ruthless methods and was unbeatable in the business world, actually had a weakness."Benjamin, you only have one choice. Either help me, or Grace and I will die together. I don'
"I'll just roll with the punches."Grace had already formed a plan in her mind. Whatever it was that Jessica intended to do, she would handle it with caution.At 9:00 am, Grace walked into Amirate Corporation in her high heels. She looked exceptionally capable in her professional attire.As soon as she showed up, Luke, who had been waiting for her, quickly approached her. "Ms. Lewis, you're back."Grace nodded slightly and then entered the elevator. Luke followed closely, reporting Grace's schedule for the day."At 10:00 am, you have a video conference. At 11:00 am, you have a meeting with Mr. Barnes from Barnes Group in the conference room on the 22nd floor."As the elevator slowly ascended, it finally stopped at the top floor. Grace listened to Luke's updates and gave a light acknowledgment. "Okay."Then, she walked out of the elevator.Unexpectedly, Samuel approached her with a smile."Ms. Lewis, it's been a long time! You finally came to the company. I was worried that som
Grace smiled, seemingly agreeing as she nodded. "You're right, Director Walker. We shouldn't make things too ugly between us."However, the next moment, she opened her bag and took out a USB drive."Considering the overall situation, there are some things that I haven't revealed, but I think I should inform you in advance. What do you think?"Samuel didn't understand the meaning behind Grace's words, but his gaze focused on the USB drive in Grace's hand. "What are you trying to say, Ms. Lewis?"Grace smiled slightly and handed the USB drive to him.Leaning closer, she whispered, "Director Walker, although you and your wife are seniors in the company, you still have to abide by the company's rules. I think you're aware of what your wife has been doing in the finance department all these years."Her words made Samuel's face change instantly. "What are you trying to say?""Everything I want to say is on this USB drive. If you're interested, you can look at it at home."Hearing tha
At the mention of this, Luke's expression turned serious. "Ms. Lewis, the collapse of the Dunhill mine is suspicious. There were no casualties at the scene, but it has had a certain impact on our project progress.""Have you found out if it's an accident or intentional?"Luke raised his eyes, his mouth pursed into a straight line. "Based on the traces at the scene, it doesn't seem like an accident."Grace's eyes darkened slightly at this revelation, and she couldn't help but snort. "It seems someone couldn't sit still."A meaningful look flashed across her face. "Is this related to them?"Luke only said, "The investigation into this matter is ongoing. Once we get results, I'll report to you immediately."Grace waved her hand, signaling for Luke to leave her office.She raised her eyes and looked out of the floor-to-ceiling window. As she overlooked the city, she got lost in thought.Just then, a pleasant ringtone brought her back to the present."Grace, shall we meet?" Jessica
