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

    "It's your choice whether to believe me or not.""Hah, Grace, you're quite arrogant. Aren't you afraid I'll ruin everything you have?"Grace smiled, but her eyes were icy. "That depends on whether you're capable enough."Danielle had a determined expression. "Since you've put it that way, starting today, you should be careful."Landon Group won't let go of any of Amirate's projects. I'll make sure you fall from grace."Unyielding, Grace raised her eyes, meeting Danielle's head on. "Ms. Quine, are you declaring war on me?"Danielle shrugged, seemingly nonchalant. "So what if I am? By the way, let me remind you—I won't just snatch your business. I might even snatch your man too."Do you know why Benjamin used to take special care of Yvonne and even divorced you for her?"Feeling smug, Danielle tilted her chin. "That's because I asked him to take care of my family. He even went against you for the sake of my family. Grace, you loved Benjamin so much. It must be painful for you."

    Benjamin composed his expression but remained silent.Danielle continued with a cold sneer, "But as a woman, I can clearly tell that Grace has no feelings for you, Benjamin. You should give up."Her words seemed to provoke Benjamin. He snapped, "Enough, Danielle.""Why? Are you unwilling to accept it?"Benjamin's lips twitched slightly. "Those who commit sins will perish. If you want to start over, I can give you the greatest support. Consider it Alexander's compensation for you.""Don't mention him!" Danielle yelled.Her emotions became extremely unstable. "Benjamin, don't mention him in front of me."Holding her head, she was in a state of losing control.As she turned around, she looked coldly at Benjamin, almost raging. "Benjamin, if you're willing to help me, invest 500 million dollars in Landon Group. Otherwise, I'll take Grace with me in death."When it came to money, Benjamin didn't hesitate for a moment.He took out his checkbook from his pocket and signed his name o

    "There's a business reception tonight. It's time for Amirate to explore some new projects. Would you like to go and take a look?"Grace's eyes lit up, and she readily agreed."Sure, I've been worrying about the performance for the second half of the year. I haven't figured out anything yet, but maybe I can develop some new projects through this opportunity."…At 7:00 pm, Santio Grand Hotel, which was located in Pamore's most luxurious spot, was now brightly lit. There was a constant stream of people entering the hotel.Most of those attending this business reception were from some of Pamore's top-notch enterprises.In other words, if one could get an invitation to this reception, they must already have considerable wealth. Naturally, Hawkins Group was invited as well.After helping Benjamin get ready in his suit and tie, Larry respectfully said, "Mr. Hawkins, Futurelink is one of the organizers of tonight's business reception. Ms. Lewis is likely to attend."Benjamin's movemen

    "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. "You can't fire me! I'm the second female lead! The film is almost finished! You're breaching the contract!""You caused a scandal. That's the real breach of contract. It's a good thing we're not asking you for damage compensation! Get out, get out!"The staff were shoving her out.Reporters swarmed her.
