That night, Grace recounted what had happened to her friends in their group chat. "Both Aunt Hestia and Uncle Raymond are pretty healthy. So logically speaking, Xander shouldn't have any health problems."She lay on her huge bed, feeling very troubled. Zoey was the first to reply. "This is hilarious! Why would you think that there's something wrong with his health?"Emily sent a message. "Are you crazy? Any man in the world could have health problems, but not Xander."Grace asked, "How do you know?"Emily answered, "It's obvious! If I'm lying to you, then call me Benjamin's son."Grace couldn't help bursting into laughter. Then, Lydia said, "But now that you mention it, have you really gotten over Benjamin?"Grace paused in the middle of typing. She thought for a moment, then told them her honest opinion. "I find him disgusting."Although many people may not mean it when they said they no longer had feelings for someone, using words like "disgusting" usually indicated that
Grace's smile dropped. "Let's go, Luke."Benjamin stood where he was and watched Grace's slender figure disappear gradually. Larry couldn't help but say, "Mr. Hawkins, Ms. Lewis isn't wrong. Byte Technologies is worth a gamble."Benjamin was annoyed as he stared at the logo of Byte Technologies in the building. "I know it's worth it, but it's still a gamble. If Grace loses, she will …"In the end, he was just worried. Larry pursed his lips and stopped himself from saying what he really thought. Even if it didn't work out, there were so many people backing Grace up that it wouldn't matter. "The meeting is about to start."Benjamin walked forward. "What has Jessica been doing lately?""She's focusing completely on her work. She even made an appointment with Noah Reed from Futurelink, and she hasn't let her guard down with Albert either. "It looks like she's determined to battle it out with Ms. Lewis."Benjamin huffed coldly. He seemed to think of something and asked, "Wha
Once they left the office, Luke was full of excitement. "Ms. Lewis, how did you know that Mr. Thorne would agree? You raised the stakes on purpose."Grace felt like she was walking on clouds, and she was very confident. "Because the foreign market is a sore point for Byte Technologies, and he desperately needs someone's help. That's why I was sure he would agree."It will already be a huge profit to get even a small piece of Byte Technologies.""Ms. Lewis, are you that confident in them?"Grace inclined her head. "Yes, I am."Although it was exciting to discuss theories and knowledge, putting it into action was a hassle. Grace called Xander at once, but he didn't pick up. She suddenly remembered that Xander had told her to contact Peter if she was unable to reach him. Grace hurriedly found Peter's business card in her bag and called the number on it. It was a Frendish phone number. "Ms. Lewis." Peter answered the call very quickly. "Mr. Miller, where's Xander? I can't re
Grace's flight was the next day. Luke and a few staff members from Byte Technologies were also going to Frenda with her. Grace still hadn't received a call from Xander by the time the plane took off. One of the staff members from Byte Technologies was very observant and noticed this. She asked, "Are you waiting for someone, Ms. Lewis?"Grace looked lost as she turned. "Is it very obvious?""Young women have all their feelings written on their faces."This was a huge taboo in the business world. Grace wasn't sure why Xander was affecting her emotions more and more. She tried her best to calm down. "I'm just worried about a friend. It's not important."The woman smiled and didn't push the subject. When the plane landed in Frenda, Aaron's assistant came to pick them up. "Ms. Lewis, Mr. Lewis is very busy with work, but he has specially reserved ten minutes to come and see you. He's currently in the VIP lounge."Luke arranged for the Byte Technologies staff and Grace to go w
It was too sudden. Grace's mind went blank, and she leaned against the wall for support, forcing herself to calm down. "Never mind what the reason is. Let's go to the hospital right now!"She ran out and immediately drove off after the ambulance. She didn't see a pair of old eyes behind her, watching her rush off. "The patient had a sudden heart attack and doesn't have enough blood. We need a blood transfusion, and we need an Rh-negative blood type!"The moment she entered the hospital, Grace saw a nurse shouting through a megaphone. Grace rushed over. "Which patient?"The nurse pointed. "That one! The one who was just sent in!"It was Eric!Grace clenched her fist. She couldn't believe what a coincidence it was because she was Rh-negative. "Me, I'm Rh-negative! I'll donate blood!"Luke stopped her at once. "No, Ms. Lewis! Nothing is more important than your health."Grace swatted him aside. "This is a matter of life and death! Saving him is the first priority.""But—"
Within ten minutes, one of the family members came out of the hospital room. "Please come in, Ms. Lewis."Grace didn't forget to take the documents with her.Eric was already awake. He lay on the hospital bed, looking at everyone through half-closed eyes.Raymond gestured toward him. "Gracie, say hello."Grace bowed. "Hello, Mr. Schultz. My name is Grace. Grace Lewis.""I know you. I was planning to meet you after the meeting ended.""That's not important. The most important thing is that you're safe and healthy.""Not important?""In terms of my job, the safety of the leader of Frenda's citizens is the most important."Eric's stern face broke into a smile as he looked at Raymond. "Ray, your goddaughter speaks very well."Raymond was very proud. "As she should.""I always repay my debts. You saved me. Tell me what you want."He was very direct. Grace gripped the corner of her documents tightly. "Will you give me whatever I want?""You don't hide anything, do you?""To be
"How is this not good news? Byte Technologies is Amirate's partner for this project, and Amirate belongs to the Lewis family. "If you help me, you're helping the entire family. Don't you think of yourself as part of the Lewis family?"Victor didn't reply to her voice message for a long time. Raymond was all smiles. "I can imagine the expression on Victor's face right now."Grace giggled. When she looked at Raymond from this angle in the car, Grace realized that the authority Xander exuded was very similar to that of his father. "Uncle Raymond, hasn't Fulton Group already been handed over to Xander? Why did you need to come personally?""Why? Shouldn't you know better than me?"He was poking fun at Grace, and she felt rather embarrassed.Xander had been focusing completely on Futurelink Corporation, and as a result, he didn't have as much energy to manage Fulton Group.She couldn't help defending Xander. "Xander started managing Fulton Group when he was 18 years old because
"Xander, you …" Hestia's voice trailed off downstairs. She had seen Grace, too.Grace stood where she was, staring at the man on the stairs in surprise."Xander? When did you get here?"Xander looked exhausted, but it didn't seem like he had just arrived in Frenda.He looked a little resigned and smiled as he leaned against the banisters. "Gracie, it looks like we really are fated for each other. What a surprise to see you here, of all places.""Don't talk nonsense." Grace was annoyed as she walked closer. "Were you already in Frenda when I called Peter?"Xander didn't deny it. "I had some business to take care of.""Where's my car?""Parked at my house.""You didn't even drive it back for me before you went abroad."Xander stared at her exposed skin, his gaze intense. "I wanted to make an excuse for us to meet again."Grace jumped, and her neck turned red at once. It felt uncomfortably warm.Hestia tactfully retreated without speaking when she saw what was happening."How
