The wealthy lady sarcastically remarked, "Mrs. Hawkins, I don't think you're jealous. You're regretful—extremely regretful."After all, you were blind and turned down the opportunity to have the world's richest family's daughter as your daughter-in-law. Now you've found a—"She scrutinized Jessica, not bothering to hide her disdain as she said, "You found a person who can't be brought to the table. It's truly indescribable."Susan became anxious. "What nonsense are you talking about? Who did you say is blind? Explain yourself."Smiling, the wealthy lady shook her head and didn't bother engaging in further discussion with Susan. Instead, she walked toward Grace.Left alone, Susan stomped her foot in frustration."Ms. Lewis." The wealthy lady greeted Grace with a demeanor that was in stark contrast to how she had spoken to Susan.Grace smiled. "Nice to meet you, Mrs. Wright."Evelyn Dixon, who was known as Mrs. Wright, didn't expect Grace to know her. She felt greatly satisfied.
Xander leaned in and pecked her lips, silencing all the words Grace was about to say.At that moment, time seemed to stand still, and Grace stared wide-eyed at him.She forgot to react.Xander chuckled affectionately and embraced her tighter. "Gracie, I hope we can have a happy marriage soon."Dumbfounded, Grace looked at him blankly. It took her several seconds to react. Then, she responded with a shy and soft hum.Her consent brought a gleam of joy to Xander's eyes. "Gracie, are you serious?"Grace smiled and looked him in the eyes.As Xander looked into her eyes, which were reflecting his figure, he smiled brightly.He had been waiting for this day for too long.The crowd around them also had their eyes fixed on them, and Grace's cheeks turned even redder. "Xander, there are people around."Only then did Xander release her.Grace quickly turned her face away and took a deep breath. She could feel the disoriented beats of her heart. This feeling was both familiar and unfam
Grace smiled and agreed. "Sure, let's find some time to talk about it."However, Matthew seemed a bit impatient.Working with Futurelink and Amirate—two of Pamore's top companies—was something he had always dreamed of.Additionally, although Byte Technologies showed some promise, it still faced cash flow issues.With the strong backing of Futurelink and Amirate, the future of Byte Technologies would undoubtedly be bright."Ms. Lewis, Mr. Fulton, since we've met today, why not find a place to discuss our collaboration?"Grace and Xander exchanged a glance, both expressing their agreement.Matthew quickly ordered, "Wayne, go to the nearby hotel and book a business suite. We'll talk over there."Wayne promptly agreed. "Yes, Mr. Thorne.""Ms. Lewis, Mr. Fulton, see you there later."With a farewell, Matthew walked away with a cheerful smile.However, Grace couldn't help but feel curious. "Xander, why does it seem like Mr. Thorne is being overly enthusiastic?"Xander answered he
The two of them silently moved away from the couch.Jessica quickly pulled Susan into a corner. "This woman is really shameless. She actually booked a hotel room with a streamer in broad daylight."Susan scornfully added, "She was always fickle. I just don't get why Benjamin is still obsessed with her. This time, I must make him see her true colors."As she said that, she was ready to call Benjamin. Yet Jessica stopped her."We cannot rush this, Madam Hawkins. Let's plan carefully."However, Susan couldn't contain her frustration. "She's so disgusting. I can't stand it for a moment. I must make Benjamin see what kind of person she really is."The more she talked about it, the more agitated she became.Seeing Susan like this, Jessica snatched her phone away. "Madam Hawkins, don't be hasty. We don't have evidence now."Even if we bring Benjamin here, what can we do? Grace is cunning. She might just deny everything, and we'd be powerless."Upon hearing Jessica's words, Susan fina
When Xander saw Grace, who wasn't far away, he immediately spoke into the phone. "Let's talk about this when I get back. Let's leave it at that first."He then hung up the phone.Xander walked toward Grace. "Gracie, where are you going?"Grace took a few steps forward and waved the room key card at him. "Mr. Thorne has already arranged everything. Are you done here? Let's go there now.""Okay."As soon as Xander finished speaking, he gave a wary look behind Grace. There was nothing. It was completely empty.His eyes darkened. "Gracie, you go ahead. Wait for me at the elevator."Grace was curious. "What's wrong? Xander?""It's nothing. You go ahead." Xander gave her a reassuring look.Grace followed his gaze. "Xander, what are you looking at?"Instead of replying, he just walked over. After looking around, he didn't find anything.Xander said, "Nothing. Maybe I saw it wrong."Grace had her doubts. but she didn't think too much about it.The two of them walked toward the hot
By the time their conversation with Matthew ended, two hours had passed.As they left the hotel, Matthew still seemed a bit reluctant. "Ms. Lewis, Mr. Fulton, if you have the intention of working with Byte, I'll always welcome your participation.""Alright, Mr. Thorne. Let's end it here for today.""Sure, Mr. Fulton, Ms. Lewis. Bye."After Matthew left, Grace turned to Xander with a look that seemed to hold many words.But even before she spoke, Xander had already guessed and asked softly, "Thinking about entering the media industry?"Smiling, Grace nodded. "Although it's an emerging industry, the prospects are promising. Amirate can give it a try. We can establish an artist department, explore potential streamers, recruit a team for operations, and create an account …"Grace went on enthusiastically. In her mind, a rough outline was already taking shape.Toward the end, Grace couldn't help but ask, "Xander, what do you think of my idea?""It's basically formed and can be impl
Grace nodded, explaining, "With the vigorous development of current online technology, short videos have become a hot project."Although Amirate hasn't been involved in this area before, this is a great opportunity. This is a chance for Amirate's transformation—"Before Grace could finish speaking, Samuel directly slammed the document he held onto the table. "I disagree, Ms. Lewis."As these words were said, everyone looked at each other, speechless.Grace asked, "Do you have any questions, Director Walker?"Disdainfully, Samuel smirked. "Amirate has always focused on high-end technology industries, like nanorobots, medical devices, and mining."This is our expertise, and we achieved a good result. But now you want us to venture into a new industry. Let me ask you, Ms. Lewis. How confident are you?"With Samuel's words, others echoed, "Exactly. Ms. Lewis, hastily entering a new field is indeed a challenge for us. In case it fails, Amirate's reputation will suffer.""Ms. Lewis,
Dressed in a striking suit, Caleb appeared with his agent. This caused everyone in the room to gasp."Why is he here?""The third son of the Lewis family is active in the entertainment industry, with a lot of fans. Even a casual Twitter post can get millions of retweets. This shows his immense popularity and large fan base. But why is he here today?"Caleb's presence disrupted the atmosphere in the conference room. Everyone's eyes were filled with surprise, and they looked at Samuel with questioning expressions. What was going on?Meanwhile, Samuel's expression changed instantly, becoming particularly ugly.He hadn't expected that Grace would pull such a move.Caleb walked in confidently, heading toward Grace. The two exchanged smiles, and Caleb's eyes lit up with endless affection."Caleb."Caleb raised an eyebrow and hummed. Then, he stopped beside Grace and turned to face everyone. He greeted them in a relaxed tone. "Hello, everyone." One of the executives couldn't help bu
