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
Benjamin slightly nodded and simply said, "Danielle, the real estate industry isn't doing well at the moment. There will soon be major reforms from above. Your hasty investment might very well trap your funds." Upon hearing this, Jessica's smile grew even wider. But she said maliciously, "Benjamin, aren't you just saying this because you're afraid I'll go against Grace? Are you worried that if I build Landon Group up, I'll confront Grace head-on?" Benjamin shook his head, his tone cold and disdainful as he said, "You're not worthy to be her opponent."Jessica's face turned cold. Before she could speak, Benjamin took out the evidence he had already prepared. "At least she wouldn't stoop to such lowly tactics like you." With that, he pushed the documents at her, hitting Jessica painfully. "You leaked those photos online, right? And you hired the internet trolls. Did I get that right?" Jessica hadn't expected Benjamin to trace it back to her so quickly, but she wasn't panic
Grace stared blankly at her phone, lost in thought. "Ms. Lewis, here is your ginger tea. Please drink it while it's hot." Marien's voice broke Grace's train of thought. Grace quickly composed herself and said, "Just leave it, thanks." "Okay." As Marien was about to leave, Grace stopped her. "Marien, do you think if someone is suddenly out of reach, it could mean something has happened?" Marien was experienced in her ways. Seeing Grace's furrowed brows, she instantly understood. "Ms. Grace, you're not talking about Mr. Fulton, are you?" Grace blushed at having her thoughts read. "Marien, you ..." Marien explained with a smile, "You've been mentioning Mr. Fulton for the past few days. It's hard for an old lady like me to ignore it."Grace's face turned even redder. "Marien, what are you saying?" Marien reassured her, "Don't worry, Ms. Grace. If Mr. Fulton hasn't been in touch for a while, it might be because he's tied up with something. I believe he will contact you as
At this point, Grace instantly came to a realization. "Caleb, are you suggesting we bring Kayla into Amirate Corporation?" Caleb hummed in agreement. "That's exactly what I'm thinking." Grace nodded but didn't say anything else. It was widely known that actresses like Kayla, who have already debuted and gained some popularity, were challenging to recruit for a company. After all, an actress only started to make money once they gained popularity and heat. But now Kayla was voluntarily willing to join Amirate Corporation. "Ms. Lewis, do you not welcome me?" Kayla asked in a joking tone. "Of course not. How could that be? It's an honor to have you join our company, Ms. Green." "I look forward to working with you!"Kayla looked up at Caleb beside her. The affection in her eyes was something any woman could recognize. Grace immediately understood. It was clear that Kayla hadn't made this decision for work. Her true intentions were something else. Just as Grace was abou
"Gracie, what exactly are you trying to say?" Grace didn't beat around the bush and asked, "Caleb, you don't have other ideas about her, do you?" Caleb finally caught on to what Grace was implying. He smiled and replied, "When did you start inquiring about my personal life?" Seeing Caleb dodge her question, Grace couldn't help but become anxious. "You don't have a crush on her, do you?" Caleb flicked her forehead with his finger and scolded, "What are you thinking? Kay is just my junior, nothing more than that."Grace winced in pain, covering her forehead, and muttered, "Kay! You address her so intimately. Who knows if you're telling the truth?" Caleb said in exasperation, "Gracie, what can I say to make you believe?" "I do believe you. However, others might not think the same." After all, the way Kayla looked at Caleb blatantly revealed their relationship wasn't so innocent. "Caleb ... I ..." "Stop, Gracie! What are you trying to say?" Grace's eyes wandered as she
Kayla wasn't at all upset. Instead, she said graciously, "No problem. You go ahead with your work. I can go around on my own." Seeing Kayla's demeanor, Caleb felt somewhat guilty. "I'll send my assistant over. You can tell him if you need anything." "Okay." After Caleb left, the smile on Kayla's face slowly faded. She turned her head, looking at the office's closed door with an eerie glint in her eyes.... Inside the office, Grace quickly greeted Lydia upon seeing her. "Why did you suddenly come over?" Lydia smiled and put down her bag. "I just happened to be passing by." Lydia lowered her gaze, casually asking, "Caleb is here too?" "Oh, he came to support my newly established talent department, and he signed his contract with Amirate Corporation." Lydia was surprised. "He signed with the company?" "Yes, he's our company's top celebrity now."Knowing Lydia's feelings for Caleb, Grace added, "If VERE Jewelry sponsors our company, only Caleb would really benefit from
"Alright, since that's settled, I'll have someone draft a contract. If there are no issues, we can sign it." Lydia agreed and said, "Okay. VERE is about to launch a new series, and all the jewelry from this series will be exclusively sponsored for the celebrities of Amirate Corporation." Grace thought momentarily and said, "Give the sponsorship to Caleb and Kayla. After all, they are the only two celebrities under our company with some popularity at the moment." Lydia looked away and hummed in agreement. "Alright. The jewelry for any event in this quarter will be handled by us." "I'll have their managers discuss it with you directly." "Okay."After finalizing their discussion, Grace personally escorted Lydia downstairs. Just as they reached the lobby, they bumped into Kayla. Kayla's gaze fell on Lydia, and she promptly greeted Grace, "Hello, Ms. Lewis!" Seeing this, Grace introduced them. "Kayla, this is Ms. York from VERE Jewelry, your upcoming jewelry sponsor." Kay
