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
As an outsider, Grace didn't want to ask too much about the affairs of the Fulton family, but now there was no turning back. "I heard everything after 'rascal'."Xander burst into laughter. "You're very honest."Grace put the soup down. "Xander, have some supper.""Did you make this?""The maid did." She really was very honest.Xander ate two spoonfuls, but he didn't have much of an appetite. He set it aside. "What do you want to ask?"Grace stood behind him and began massaging his shoulders. "Aunt Hestia and Uncle Raymond raised us. Apart from the Lewis family, I always thought they only had you. Then, why do they call you the 'eldest son'?"She was exerting just the right amount of pressure, and Xander closed his eyes."Do you remember why my father and mother got divorced?""Aunt Hestia and Uncle Raymond have always liked bickering. At the time, they said it was just out of impulse.""At their level, it's not easy to get divorced. If it hadn't been something to do with p
Hestia was quite indignant, insisting that was the way it should be."Pick a few of ME's signature items, and I'll have someone draft a contract for you to sign this afternoon." Grace was pleasantly surprised. "Amirate's media is still not stable, I'm afraid—" "That's precisely why I want to give you a hand." Hestia looked at her with admiration and said, "I trust you. Go ahead and do it. I won't work with other platforms for the Black Friday sale. You have my full support, so be confident." This was for the best. It gave Amirate Corporation another card to play. Grace was very touched. "Thank you, Aunt Hestia!"Hestia looked very young for her age. Even though she was 50 years old, she looked like she was in her 30s. Only the fine lines at the corners of her eyes showed the traces of time. Grace looked at her, wanting to say more. "What's wrong?" Grace actually wanted to ask about more—about that woman outside, for one. But Hestia hadn't revealed anything over the ye
