It was the weekend. Xander rode his bike to Lewis Manor. When he saw Harold, he greeted him politely. "Mr. Lewis Senior!"

Harold looked delighted to see Xander. "Xander, have you come to see Caleb and Victor? The two of them aren't home today. They left early this morning."

"It's okay, Mr. Lewis Senior. I'm not here to see them! I'm here for Gracie."

Harold smiled knowingly. "I see! Then, I'll get the housekeeper to call her downstairs."

He called the housekeeper and said, "Go and tell Gracie that Xander is here. Tell her to hurry up and come downstairs."

"It's okay, Mr. Lewis Senior. I'll wait for her here." Xander had just finished speaking when he heard the thumping of footsteps on the stairs.

Soon, Grace ran into the living room. "Xander, you're here!"

Xander murmured in assent and looked at Harold. "We'll get going now, Mr. Lewis Senior."

Harold nodded. "Okay, off you go!"

The moment they went out, Grace was filled with questions. "Xander, where are you taking me? Why ar

    Grace was stubborn once she set her mind to something, and once her interest in physics experiments had been piqued, she became proactive in all the physics lessons. She maintained very good results in physics all the way until she graduated from junior high. As it was a prestigious private school, they had a wide range of subjects available. Not only were there classes on culture, but they even offered vocational classes.Therefore, after she started high school, Grace began taking advanced classes in her chosen vocation. She started studying business management classes in her freshman year. Teenagers were said to always have a rebellious phase, but Grace rebelled later than her peers. "Grandpa, I don't want to study business management. I won't be interested in company affairs in the future, either."Please don't make me study it! We already have Aaron!" Grace looked pleadingly at Harold. Harold usually doted on her and spoiled her, but he stood firm on this matter."No.

    Grace completely ignored Victor's and Caleb's worries. She stood firm in her stance. "No. Since I've decided to study it, I will definitely work hard. I won't let you down.""This isn't about letting us down! In the future, Amirate Corporation will definitely be handed to you, but if you go and study design, what's going to happen to the family business?"Grace didn't agree. "Victor, we still have Aaron, don't we? As long as Aaron is around, our family will always have someone to continue its legacy."Besides, I really don't have any interest in the company. Why don't you two consider it?"Victor and Caleb shook their heads simultaneously. "No, I'm not interested in the company."Caleb continued, "I'm not interested either. My interest is in music. I think that if I become a singer in the future and enter the entertainment industry, it'll be pretty good."Grace was speechless. "There! People have to do the things that they like!"Victor and Caleb had nothing to say to that

    "What are you talking about? What does this have to do with me finding a wife in the future? Victor, speak clearly!" Caleb said. "Bro, you've got to find out on your own!""No, you've got to explain this to me today."Xander ignored Victor's teasing and went to the art room by himself. He stood outside the window and spotted Grace. She was inside, practicing still-life art. She held the pencil in her hand as she drew out the lines with each stroke of her pencil. Her movements weren't practiced, but she was very focused. Xander had never seen her like this before. He stood there quietly, watching her in silence. Grace remained sitting there even after the end of the art class, completing the art assignment that she hadn't been able to finish in class. After a long time, Grace finally stopped what she was doing. She raised her sore arm, and a flash of joy appeared on her face. "Phew, I've finally finished drawing it."She had just finished when Xander pushed the door open

Let's hope what you said will come true.""It's late. Let's go to the cafeteria together for dinner.""Okay, I want meatballs, grilled pork, mushroom soup ..."…That night, Grace returned home. As she was about to go upstairs, she heard a loud noise coming from the study. Her steps halted.Out of curiosity, she cautiously approached the study and gently pushed the door open, peering through the crack.She saw Harold sitting in a chair, looking utterly dejected.The butler tried to console him. "Mr. Lewis Senior, you need to take care of your body."Harold covered his face, sobbing quietly.The butler sighed. "Mr. Aaron is still young and has a strong body. He'll get through this for sure."Harold sighed. "Among all my grandchildren, he has been the smartest and most sensible since he was a child. As the eldest grandson,

    Xander was subtly surprised.On the other hand, Grace remained calm and raised her eyes, looking into the distance. "Yes, I've thought it through.""This is something you truly love to do. Are you giving up just like this?""Xander, I'm not giving up. I'm just adjusting its priority in my life. Besides, I've already thought about it."After I start university, I can major in business administration and also take elective courses in fashion design.""Alright, as long as it's your choice, I'll support you."Grace turned to him and said, "Xander, you're really great.""Have you decided which university to go to?""For my degree, probably Frenda. If I have the chance to pursue a master's, then I'd like to go to Coronia. I heard that Coronia University's design program is excellent. I would love to see it.""I hope you achieve your dreams soon."…Aaron's condition was critical, but fortunately, the Lewis family had a wide network. They quickly found a suitable heart for him.He

    Grace sighed helplessly as she watched Victor and Caleb bickering endlessly. She put her arms around both of them."Okay, Victor, Caleb, I know you both are the best. In my heart, you're all my most important family.""That's about right.""Oh, right, Xander, what about your gift?" Victor threw the question to Xander. Even Grace's eyes held a hint of expectation as she looked at him."Xander, did you prepare a gift for me too? What is it?""Let me tell you, Gracie, Xander has put in a lot of effort into preparing your graduation gift. He started preparing it half a year ago," Victor hurriedly added.On the side, Caleb immediately caught on. After so many years of being together, he was no longer the naïve youth he had once been.He had long caught Xander's feelings for Grace."Um, Gracie, I suddenly remembered that there are some things I need to deal with. You guys chat. We'll leave first.""Yeah, you chat. We'll leave first." Saying that, Victor and Caleb dragged Aaron away,

    Her tone instantly made Xander anxious. He was filled with worry. "Gracie, what's wrong? What happened?"As he spoke, he walked briskly toward the campus gate, abandoning his luggage on the way.He rushed into campus but couldn't know where to go. Only then did he calm down and ask, "Gracie, tell me, where are you?""I'm in the dorm.""Okay, wait for me there. I'll be right there."Grace was puzzled. "What do you mean, Xander?"Xander quickened his pace, but his mood was no longer as jubilant as when he had first arrived. There was only one thought in his mind—Grace was upset."Come down. I'm downstairs at your dorm."In disbelief, Grace lifted the blanket and ran to the window. She pulled the curtains back, letting the sunlight stream into her room after ages. It seemed particularly dazzling at this moment.These days, she had been languishing in the dorm, so she looked lifeless.She glanced casually at the flower bed below, and there she saw that familiar figure waving at h

    As he listened to Grace's rambling, Xander couldn't hold back any longer. He grabbed her hand tightly.Surprised by his sudden move, Grace hurriedly asked, "What's wrong, Xander?"Xander stared at her face, struggling internally. In the end, he just said, "Maybe he was delayed by something."This thought coincided with Grace's, and she instantly felt delighted."You think so too, right? I knew it. He must not have intentionally stood me up. But where did he go? I think he'll come to find me and explain after he finishes his business."Xander hummed in agreement and turned his head to look into the distance. He didn't want to reveal his emotions in front of her.He then casually said, "Gracie, I finally made the trip here, and all you talk about is another man. It's not very welcoming, is it?"Only then did Grace realize that. She naturally hooked an arm around his. "I'm sorry, Xander. I didn't expect you to come here. I'm really happy."There are many delicious foods and fun pl

    "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.
