Grace had just arrived. She handed tissues to Lydia and said in a half-teasing tone, "So our great designer's talent began to show ten years ago."Lydia chuckled through her tears, knowing that Grace was referring to the necklace on Caleb's neck."He's too showy. Why didn't you stop him?""Just tell me whether you're happy or not.""... I am."Grace pretended to be dissatisfied. "You haven't even made me a necklace."Lydia stopped crying and regained her composure. "Why are you jealous? What I gave you is more valuable than any handmade necklace."At this moment, Caleb had already left the stage, and the host was making remarks.Grace said rascally, "That's different. Something made by hand always shows more sincerity. Besides, it's a gift from a loved one."It was understandable why Caleb cherished it so much.Lydia tilted her head. "Xander will give you one too."He had said that he wanted to give her a gift. Grace smiled, unable to hide her excitement."Caleb said he wou
Grace narrowed her eyes. After careful consideration, she calmed down."Stay here and keep an eye on him. Don't let him leave without my permission."After saying that, she took off her coat and quickly returned to the front of the stage.In front of the cameras, she walked up gracefully, her long dress flowing elegantly. With a standard smile on her face, she looked very charming.Since she was no less beautiful than a female celebrity, there was a commotion in the audience."Milady really looks great." Timothy watched Grace happily.Meanwhile, Benjamin glanced over indifferently. "Ms. Noelle, aren't you upset that the man pursuing you compliments other women like that?"Timothy clicked his tongue and gave Benjamin a nudge. "Are you trying to sow discord between us?"However, Noelle was busy admiring Grace. "It's okay. She's also my Milady."Timothy burst into laughter.Benjamin's expression remained grim.On stage, Grace bowed slightly, showing her beautiful neck."Thank
It was none other than Jessica.She had been there the whole time, witnessing Grace's brilliant victory.The confidence Grace radiated stabbed Jessica deep. That was something Jessica had never experienced before. She couldn't comprehend how Grace could be so fortunate."You ..."Jessica took a deep breath."As far as I know, you have a bet with Grace. If she can't increase Amirate's performance by 30%, she'll pack up and leave. If she succeeds, you'll give up your decision-making power at Amirate, right?"Samuel's expression turned extremely ugly."Now it seems that not only did she succeed, but she probably doubled the performance. You lost.""If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have let her achieve this so easily."Their limited vision was to blame."There's no use in blaming yourself now. If I were you, I'd settle this before the board meeting is held."Jessica's tone was chilling. Startled, Samuel narrowed his eyes. "Ms. Landon, do you mean ...""Tonight is a good oppor
Shawn watched her figure, his eyes filled with infatuation."It's okay. I've seen Caleb's charm on stage."He had come here with a purpose, but it wasn't to meet Caleb.Grace smiled and thanked him.At the exit, she happened to run into Luke. "Ms. Lewis, I didn't see Mr. Fulton."Grace couldn't hide her disappointment, but she still forced a smile. "Xander must have been held up by something. He wouldn't just not come. Stay here and wait for him. Let him know I'm going to Amirate."Luke agreed. When he glanced at the person beside her, he frowned. "Director Walker ..."Seeing the distrust in Luke's eyes, Samuel immediately said, "Mr. Ziegler, are you looking down on me now because you've assisted two generations of presidents at Amirate?""That's not what I meant.""Then, what do you mean?""That's enough." Grace didn't like Samuel's overbearing attitude. "Let's go, Director Walker."…Meanwhile, on the other side, the audience exit was crowded. Benjamin was swept along wit
It was already 2:00 am, but various platforms were still buzzing with trending news.All the trending topics revolved around Byte Technologies' gala, spanning from Caleb's appearance to his confession, Grace's stunning beauty, and finally, the total revenue they had generated.The servers had crashed several times.However, beneath this celebratory atmosphere, an unknown danger lurked.In a dark and damp construction site, the sound of water dripping onto a woman's forehead echoed through the silence.The cold sensation brought the woman back to consciousness. She blinked her eyes, slowly opening them."Ugh ..."A deserted construction site came into Grace's sight. She was tied to a pillar. Her arms were bruised, and she was unable to move. The red dress she had worn for the gala was soaked with dirty water, and her face was pale."How did I end up here?"The last thing she remembered was being in Samuel's car. Halfway through the journey, Samuel had suddenly said that he ne
Benjamin's chest heaved. "Search for this car throughout the city!"Larry rushed to leave."Wait!" Benjamin suddenly stopped Larry. Frowning, he thought of something. "Danielle ..."How could it be just a coincidence that this had happened right after Danielle had shown up at the gala?"Has construction been continuing at the Eastwood property?""I haven't heard of any news about it being halted."Benjamin had received information that there wasn't much money left in the account. Why was construction still ongoing?He quickly made a decision. After grabbing his coat, he headed out. "Take me there."…In Amirate, just as the receptionist finished talking, someone suddenly rushed in, stumbling.It was Samuel. He was panting heavily. "What's wrong with Ms. Lewis? If she doesn't like me, she could have just said it. How could she leave me on the road?"He looked up and saw Xander, who looked extremely serious. This left him stunned for a moment. Why was Xander back?Soon, he lo
"Director Walker, I don't know about anything else, but I'm sure Amirate's account isn't short of money tonight."As Xander said that, he casually rolled up his sleeves, pulling them to his elbows.Samuel shrank back. "Indeed, we're not short of money, but such a large sum requires a unanimous decision from the board. It's impossible to gather everyone in half an hour."He showed no concern for Grace.Ignoring Samuel, Xander turned to Luke, who had just walked into the conference room."Withdraw the police report and give me Amirate's company stamp. I'll bear the responsibility for this money. If something goes wrong, Futurelink will pay double in compensation."Luke was surprised to hear that. He glanced at the laptop on the ground and immediately understood that Grace was probably in great danger.He only hesitated for a few seconds. "I'll get it right away."The company stamp had legal implications, and this could be considered illegal. However, in this situation, there was
It was a well-prepared ambush led by Peter. He had also brought reinforcements, and they engaged in a fierce fight with Brodie and his men.The video call was immediately cut off.Xander's expression changed dramatically. He rushed out of the conference room, followed by the rest of the staff members.Only Samuel was left panting on the table. He couldn't help but recall Jessica's words. "I want money, and you want her. It's a fair deal."But now, Grace might not survive.Samuel felt so panicked that he was sweating profusely.…Larry parked the car at the construction site. It was pitch-black, and there were no signs of life around"Mr. Hawkins, do you think Ms. Lewis is here?"Benjamin paced in a circle, then suddenly came to a stop. "Did you hear anything?"Larry listened attentively for a moment. "That sounds like a fight."The two immediately followed the sound. As they went deeper inside, the noise grew louder.Benjamin frowned when he saw the shocking scene. Dozens o
