"His injuries …""I have arranged for the best surgeon to go over there to assist and ensure his safety," Xander said smoothly. "If he were to return, the news of an explosion on site would be revealed at once. I'm sure you agree that publicizing this isn't good for the company, Dad."Raymond looked his son up and down. "You've thought of everything."Xander smiled slightly. "I'm just afraid that Aunt Priscilla will worry if she finds out.""If she's worried, then send her to Linden City to take care of Jake. You can make the arrangements."Xander said, "I will."Hazel could clearly sense the undercurrents of the conversation, and she felt genuinely pleased for Xander.Xander then reported on a few more work matters to Raymond. Before he could leave, Raymond stopped him. "You've grown a lot in the two years that you've been away from Fulton Group. I think it's a good thing. Keep it up."Xander's calm facade cracked slightly. "It's all thanks to your guidance, Dad."…When
Enthusiastic applause rang out in the conference room. Outside the door, Samuel snorted as he walked away. "She sure thinks she's smart!"His subordinate followed him. "It won't be that easy. The e-commerce industry has already been divided between a few shopping platforms. It won't be easy for Byte Technologies to take a piece of the pie."Samuel thought so too, but he couldn't help but feel worried by Grace's confidence. "What if she succeeds?""Director Walker, at the previous gathering, the chairman of Dealer already said that their platform wouldn't give Byte Technologies any discounts. "They are competitors, and consumers aren't dumb. The winner will be the one who provides the most discounts!" said Samuel's assistant. He had been working with Samuel for over ten years. The two of them were around the same age, and both of them disliked how young people worked. Samuel felt reassured by his assistant's words. Just then, he looked up to see Caleb getting out of the ele
Lydia blushed hotly and looked around. "Don't talk nonsense! What if someone with bad intentions heard you?"That was the difficult thing about dating a celebrity. In the past, the leaked photos of Grace and Caleb had also aroused a lot of speculation. Eventually, the rumors had finally subsided after everyone found out that the two of them were siblings.In the eyes of the world, Caleb was a top celebrity and couldn't have any rumored girlfriends.Lydia didn't like having everyone's attention on her, nor did she want to affect his career. Hence, she was extra careful.Grace handed Lydia's phone back to her. "You're being so obvious about it that people are going to find out sooner or later."Lydia smiled lightly. "It's fine. I'll just say that I'm a fan of his."The others made a face and wailed, "That's so cheesy!"When they finished teasing her, Zoey suddenly said, "You're one to talk, Grace. You've been in a good mood lately, too. You're always smiling."Grace was startle
The housekeeper looked confused as she waited for Luke's answer.Grace had sharp eyes and caught a man's figure appear on the balcony upstairs. "Sir, I'm here to see you."The man frowned. It seemed as if he had planned to hide. But since she had discovered him, he was forced to face them."Let them in, Martha."The villa's interior had a vintage style, and its garden had many plants and flowers. The man came downstairs. He was about six feet tall and wore a mask and a hat. He looked like a celebrity.Grace gestured for Luke to put the gifts down. "Please accept these gifts. It's not an extravagant one. It's just for your health."The man glanced at it. Every one of the gifts she had given him cost more than a thousand dollars, yet she had said that they weren't expensive at all."You shouldn't have. I don't need this."Grace felt rather awkward when she saw that the man had no intention of inviting her to sit down. "You saved me, and these gifts are only a simple expression
Grace took out a post-it from her bag and wrote down a string of numbers. "This is my number. Call me when you get there, and I'll arrange for a staff member to bring you in."She stuffed it into Shawn's hand briskly.He was about to speak when Luke rushed in from outside and whispered a few words in Grace's ear. Her expression changed at once."Really?"Luke nodded vigorously. "We have to hurry back to the office."Grace stood up. "I'm sorry, something urgent has come up. I need to leave.""Okay."She and Luke got in the car and sped off. Martha closed the door, came back, and said tentatively, "We rarely have guests here. This lady was very energetic.""Don't tell anyone that she came here."Shawn gripped the post-it tightly in his hand, but he didn't throw it into the trash can.When Grace returned to Amirate Corporation, it was already dark, and the conference room was brightly lit.She pushed the door open and saw the headlines that had been printed out and stuck all ov
Grace was surprised. "I couldn't tell."Caleb smiled bitterly. "Of course you couldn't. I wasn't even sure about what I wanted."He still remembered how things had been when he had lived at Lewis Residence. On the outside, he had always been energetic and optimistic, and everyone liked him. But the truth was that he had always felt like he was walking on eggshells because he was adopted.On one of his birthdays, Harold had given him the exact same present as the previous year. Caleb had suppressed his disappointment and exclaimed that he really liked it. He had even given Harold a big hug, and everyone had been happy.Lydia had been a guest there too. When the party had ended, she had given her gift to Caleb and said softly, "I know that you didn't really like that gift. I also know why you didn't say anything. "Happy birthday. I hope that you will be able to express your emotions honestly in the future."Caleb had been stunned. Then he had watched Lydia's slender, obstinate f
At that moment, Xander was at a social gathering. He had called Grace while he had stepped out for a smoke. He looked intently at the people passing by. Their blurred figures moved swiftly past him like a scene from a movie."I haven't booked my ticket yet, but I will definitely be there."Saturdays were work days in Frenda, and there was a project that he needed to attend to personally that day. It was extremely important, and he didn't know what time it would end. Grace assented lightly. "Do you miss me?"Grace felt shy when she heard his sweet words. "Miss you? It's only been half a month since we last met. I'm not that eager.""I guess I'm too confident, then."There was a short silence on the phone. Then, Grace said in a small voice, "It's not that I don't miss you."Of course, she couldn't see the huge smile that appeared on Xander's face. He could already imagine her expression. It must be adorable and mellow."I'll bring a gift for you when I come back.""I get a
"The more mysterious she makes things out to be, the more suspense she leaves the crowd in. Right now, the public has stopped focusing on his relationship. Instead, they're now speculating on whether or not he'll appear. Don't you think that this is very sophisticated marketing?"It finally dawned on Timothy. "Oh my! She knows that with Caleb's popularity, he will absolutely have to say something to the fans. But if he does, he can't just casually make a statement. They have to maximize the profits."Damn. She's a born businesswoman."Benjamin remained expressionless when he heard this. In truth, he felt conflicted. The skills she had shown had proven that she wouldn't have been able to reach her full potential at Hawkins Group.Timothy only stayed for a while before he remembered he had to pick his girlfriend up for lunch. Larry entered Benjamin's office. He lowered his voice and said, "Mr. Hawkins, I have news about the person you told me to investigate."Benjamin looked
