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
At the mention of this, there was a vicious glint in Xander's eyes. It was fleeting yet intense. "Hmm, you don't need to worry about it." Grace caught it and raised her hand to straighten his collar. "Xander, you've always been gentle. Your hands shouldn't be tainted with blood. I can help you when necessary. I'm not afraid of anything." Grace's eyes were more determined than ever. She looked almost as intimidating as Xander. Over the years, she had been through a lot. She was no longer the naïve young girl she once was. She knew that in this circle, there was never such a thing as peace. Xander caught her hand and said, "Through thick and thin?" "Yes, I remember." She also knew why he had said that at the time. The vicious look in his eyes faded. He held her hand and caressed it in his palm. "No, Gracie, you don't have to stoop so low for me." …A few hours earlier, at Fulton Group. Xander had taken over the company at the age of 18. He was well-known as an au
His real name was Jake Silas.Jake's face turned dark, and he yelled, "Xander!" "Your mother has wild ambitions, provoking us right to our home, but does the Fulton family accept you?" Xander stepped closer to Jake. He was slightly taller, so he towered over him. "Changing your own surname is just deceiving yourself and others. Just like your methods, it isn't worthy of any attention." Jake clenched his fists. "So what if you're the eldest son of the Fulton family? You need to see the bigger picture and consider the overall situation. "But I don't have to. I might not be as presentable, but I'm more aggressive and confident than you! You're always so proud, but you've forgotten that between the tortoise and the hare, the hare lost." Xander smirked mockingly. "You're overthinking this. I won't be the rabbit." With that, he turned and walked out. "If you're interested in playing with women, you might as well go home and see if your mother is still alive." "Xander!"
