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
"I looked into it, and it turns out that someone paid to stir up the rumors about you and Wayne." "Do you know who it is?" "Not yet, but sooner or later, I'll find out who dared to do something so despicable." Zoey spoke with conviction, then added in a playful tone, "But speaking of which, the netizens are quite sharp-eyed. At least they didn't go off track and focused on the main things. "By the way, Gracie, how about inviting Xander for a get-together tonight?" Grace thought the suggestion was good. "Sure! I'll send him a message."Grace opened her chat with Xander. They hadn't spoken since last night, and Grace's eyes flickered with worry. During this time, she and Xander had been chatting regularly, and they had hardly stopped. The longest gap between their messages before had just been a few hours. But today was strange. It had been a whole night, and Xander hadn't replied to her message. Grace's fingers rapidly tapped on the screen as she sent Xander a message.
The security guard politely replied, "I'm unaware of Mr. Fulton's private matters. But young lady, let me remind you that Mr. Fulton isn't someone you should be trifled with. You'd better not have any ideas about him." Grace was speechless. She was about to say something when she suddenly heard a car horn behind her. Grace turned around and saw Benjamin's car parked by the roadside. Benjamin opened the car door and got out, walking straight toward her. "Grace, why are you here so late?" "Shouldn't I be asking you the question?" Grace replied.Benjamin had happened to be passing by when he saw her, so he had turned around. He looked up and saw the sign on the building, which read "Futurelink Corporation". The words seemed particularly irritating at this moment. "Are you here for Xander?" Benjamin asked. His eyes were filled with jealousy as he tried to read her expression. But Grace simply replied nonchalantly, "Mr. Hawkins, this is my business, and it has nothing to do w
With a stern expression, Benjamin asked coldly, "Mom, don't you have anything you want to explain to me?" Susan stumbled and almost fell, but she managed to hold onto the railing beside her. "I-I don't understand what you're talking about," Susan replied. Benjamin approached her, backing her into a corner. "Mom, do you not realize what you've done?" "You know?" Susan was shaking, and she slowly closed her eyes, overcome with fear. "I-I didn't mean to. I was just upset with that woman, Grace, for being such a show-off. I wanted to teach her a lesson." Hearing that, Benjamin immediately grabbed her arm. "What did you say? What did you do to Grace?"Susan was taken aback. "Isn't this what you were talking about?" Benjamin snorted coldly and let go of her arm. "It seems you've been keeping a lot from me." "No. Benjamin, listen to me. It's not what you think, I—" "That's enough!" Benjamin interrupted her. "Mom, I've given you many chances and told you not to provoke Gra
Susan was left speechless after being reprimanded. "Now you show no signs of remorse. In fact, you're making things worse. You're ruining all hope of them being together," Elizabeth said helplessly. She then looked at Benjamin. "Benjamin, do what you need. I'll support you. Your mother is at fault. But she's still your mother, no matter what. You have to show her some respect."Elizabeth let out a heavy sigh. "Grandma ..." Elizabeth waved her hand and didn't say anything more. She turned and walked away, trembling slightly. "Benjamin, I know it's my fault. I realize it now." Benjamin stared at Susan coldly, not saying a word. After a pause, he asked, "The piece of land for Jessica, did you acquire it under the Hawkins family's name?"Susan hesitated and slowly came to a realization. "Did you come back today to talk about this?" Benjamin ignored her question and asked, "Do you know who Jessica is?" Susan was puzzled, her eyes filled with confusion. Benjamin leaned
