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

    With that, most of the people in the conference room suddenly changed sides."Director Walker, what do you think?" Grace threw the question to Samuel.Samuel smiled awkwardly, his lips twitching. "Since everyone agrees with you, Ms. Lewis, it seems that this project is good. I have no objection."Grace raised her eyebrows, seeming quite satisfied with the result. So she said, "Since that's the case, let's vote by raising hands."People exchanged glances and then raised their hands one after another.Even Caleb couldn't help but make a joke. "I remember I have shares in Amirate. I can also participate in the vote as a small shareholder."With that, Caleb raised his hand.The number of votes far exceeded expectations.Grace happily said, "With more than half of the votes in favor, this project is considered approved. Amirate's talent department will be officially established today."Applause echoed in the conference room.After the meeting, when everyone left the conference roo

    Jessica waved the photo in her hand. "Just this photo is enough for Grace to be unable to explain herself." Susan looked at the photo with satisfaction. "Since that's the case, let Grace go to hell. I want to see how she's torn apart by those brainless fans." "Don't worry, I'll contact the media right away. Tonight, this picture will be spread all over the internet!" Susan snorted coldly, "That would be best." Sure enough, a set of photos had quietly spread on the internet that afternoon. As soon as the photos were released, it caused an uproar online. "Streamer's Late Night Rendevous With Rich Heiress." This striking headline immediately dominated the online trending lists and sparked a huge wave of public opinion. "My god, is this for real? Wayne is actually dating Grace Lewis from the Lewis family?" "What's this? Ms. Lewis is interested in a streamer?" "Wayne is so lucky. Ms. Lewis' family is worth billions. He's won the lottery!" "What? My husband is dating Ms.

    "With the way things are going now, doesn't it indirectly confirm my relationship with Wayne?" Grace said, just as her phone dinged. After reading the text message, her eyes darkened. Zoey replied, "If you don't deny it, the public will probably take it as confirmation of your relationship with Wayne. But this might not be a bad thing. "Aren't you trying to get into content creation and creating an account? Given the heat from this incident, you could use it to attract traffic—" Before Zoey could finish, Grace immediately rejected the idea, "No." Grace's eyes were fixed on the new text message from Wayne, which was similar to what Zoey had suggested.Wayne was also a content creator. He understood the need to use traffic from the incident. The scandal involving him and Grace had gained unprecedented attention. Although they hadn't interacted much, leveraging this hype for publicity didn't seem like a bad idea to him. Thus, Wayne also intended to neither confirm nor den

    Jessica stepped forward and gently took Susan's arm to soothe her. "Don't worry. Only you and I know about this. Benjamin will never find out as long as I don't say anything." Susan, however, was panicking. She knew about Benjamin's concern for Grace, and he had warned her not to provoke Grace several times. But this time, she had crossed the line. "Jessica, you must help me keep this a secret!"Jessica smiled and nodded. "Don't worry, Madam Hawkins. The payment for the photographer was done from my account. Even if Benjamin investigates this, he can only trace it back to me and won't suspect you." Hearing this, Susan breathed a sigh of relief, patting her chest. "Good. That's good." "But …" Jessica hesitated, then continued, "You promised to help me with the property deed for the land last time." "That's a small matter, Jessica. Since I've promised you, I will make it happen. Don't worry." Jessica smiled broadly. She linked arms with Susan and said, "Thank you, Mada

    "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.
