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.

    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

    "It's too early to draw conclusions now!" With that, Peter threw a punch at Brodie, and the two continued to fight.Meanwhile, in a hidden corner, Grace regained some clarity in her mind as warmth seeped back into her body. She opened her eyes and saw someone holding her."You ..."Sensing that Grace was about to pull away, Benjamin held her tightly. "Your body is too cold. You could get hypothermia at this rate. Don't move if you don't want to die."Grace didn't move. She understood the situation, so she didn't resist."Did you do this?"Benjamin was shocked. "Why would you think that? Do you think so lowly of me?""Who knows? Those men troubled me for a long time. I never contacted you, but you knew where I was. Isn't that strange?"Benjamin admired her ability to think clearly, even at such a moment.He held her even tighter. "I'll explain later. It wasn't me. If it had been me, I wouldn't have bothered to save you."Even though he held her close, Grace was still cold. Ben

    "Well, it's just that since Mrs. Jarvis introduced me to Ms. Lewis last time, I haven't had the chance to say thanks."The elevator doors opened then, and Dexter left after saying this.…After two hours of emergency treatment, Diana clung to a thread of life. Grace walked out, exhausted, and saw the angry figure of Dexter.Coincidentally, Dexter saw her as well. He turned and called out to her, "Ms. Lewis."Dexter, known for being stern and upright, suddenly smiled, which surprised Grace. "Mr. Hamilton.""You don't need to address me like that outside of work. Just call me by my name."As he had a higher seniority than her, Grace didn't dare be casual. "Are you here visiting a patient?"The weather was nice today. Standing in the sunlight, Grace's complexion was shining, seemingly hovering between youthfulness and freshness. She seemed even more beautiful than the flowers.Dexter suddenly recalled something Orson had said, and his expression darkened momentarily."I must ask

    "Mr. Fulton, this.."The guard looked hesitantly at Benjamin lying on the ground and frowned."Isn't this a hospital? He won't die."As Xander said this, he coincidentally met the gaze of a nearby doctor. The doctor flinched and instinctively took a step back."Xander—" Benjamin's call suddenly came from behind as Xander took a step forward."Even if you deal with me, can you handle Alexander?"Benjamin's voice was filled with resentment and self-mockery. He lay flat on his back on the ground, staring at the ceiling. "My elder brother seems to avoid fighting, but if he does, you're no match for him."Xander paused momentarily, then continued to walk away without looking back or responding.Hazel followed closely. "Benjamin doesn't seem to be joking. Could there be a backup plan?""Someone needs to take over to completely deal with the Hawkins family. Let's see if the eldest son of the Hawkins family is willing to step up."As Xander entered the elevator, he coincidentally met

    At the entrance, the police saw what was happening and moved to intervene but were stopped. A signal to hold back was given. "Don't worry. Mr. Fulton won't cause any fatalities.""Especially since you dared to make a move against Grace." Xander gave a cold laugh. "She spent a few days in prison, so I'll make sure you repay that a thousand times over.""Xander—"Grace brought this on herself. She even dared to investigate the Hawkins family, to dig into the past of the previous Mrs. Hawkins, to investigate Alexander!" Benjamin endured the pain he felt and was on the verge of a breakdown. "By the way, do you know who Alexander is? And the person he loves the most."Xander's face turned ashen, and he applied more force, causing Benjamin to scream in agony."If you were in my position, you would do the same." Benjamin struggled to speak. "Besides, don't you want Alexander to disappear? Don't you want Grace to be yours and only yours?"Xander remained silent, looking around disdainful

    A commotion broke out again outside the hospital room. At the same moment, the medical equipment started beeping urgently. Reina's face turned pale with fright as she threw herself onto Diana. "Di Di! Doctor! Someone come quickly!"In a panic, Grace rushed out and pounded on Cael's office door. "Bed 24, Dr. Simpson! Di Di is not doing well!"Cael immediately hurried over with the nurses.Grace was pushed into a corner by the crowd. She leaned against the wall, her face filled with melancholy. This scene did not escape the eyes of someone hidden in a corner, who also felt a sense of wistfulness.She didn't notice the figure cast long shadows in the light, with her being the sole focus in their view.…Meanwhile, in another building, police stood guard at the hospital room door where Benjamin was confined. His face was haggard and unshaven, and he no longer looked like the well-dressed Benjamin Hawkins.Instead, he resembled a prisoner.Before entering, Xander asked, "What's the

    "If it were as usual, working for these wealthy families would keep money in my hands. But after Di Di's incident, our whole family got crushed. Her father wanted to give up, but I couldn't, so we divorced.""When I worked at the Hawkins family, both Mr. Hawkins and Mrs. Hawkins treated me well. Mrs. Hawkins knew about Di Di's situation and kept giving me money, but it was never enough. One day, I accidentally stumbled upon Mr. Hawkins having an affair with Susan…"Reina recalled the past with a look of melancholy on her face. "Susan gave me hush money and promised another payment if I did something for her."Grace had a hunch after hearing this. "She wanted you to frame Mrs. Hawkins, who was pregnant at the time.""I didn't want to." Reina shook her head, clearly pained. "But I have a daughter. I couldn't lose Di Di. I needed that money."Even as a mother herself, she could actually harm Felicia Wilson, Alexander's mother."The Hawkins family is wealthy. If you had told Mrs. Haw

    Grace thought about it. So that's what happened."So you had someone beat him up?""I forgot to ask. Which hand did he touch you with?" Xander asked seriously.She thought for a moment. "The left hand? I can't remember exactly.""No problem. Both hands were hit," Xander said casually as if discussing the weather. Grace remembered the content of that video. Orson was clearly heavily injured and beaten mercilessly.Luckily, he got what he deserved. Xander had fiercely avenged her.The coat slipped off, revealing her outfit for the day. Xander glanced at it and said, "You're going out."Grace didn't deny it. She thought of today's matter with Celia. "Benjamin was released for medical treatment. I want to see him."Since it had come to this point, a meeting with him was reasonable.Xander leaned back on the couch, not speaking for a moment, his jaw clenched tight. He seemed to be contemplating something, or perhaps he was angry.Grace couldn't be sure, but she was resolute. "I

    An hour later, Xander concluded the negotiations, with the partnership successfully sealed and the contract signed that day.He personally escorted the clients to the elevator and then returned to his office. Hazel approached cautiously with a cup of coffee. "Mr. Fulton.""Speak." Xander didn't look up from his documents."Ms. Lewis came by."He looked up at Hazel, his expression shifting. "Where is she?""She wanted to see you directly, but since the contract wasn't finalized, I didn't dare let her in to disturb you, so I…""I asked where she is."His gaze was icy, cutting her off mid-sentence.Hazel immediately lowered her head. "She's in the lounge."He stood up abruptly and headed straight for the lounge, leaving a stern warning, "If you take matters into your own hands again, resign."Hazel was left stunned.Grace hadn't left. Exhausted from the sleepless night, she lay on Futurelink's large couch, lost in thought.When Xander entered, he saw her fragile figure, as if

    "What is it?""Ms. Lewis, I just received news that Orson from the municipal bureau is in trouble…"Grace's expression changed. She had just seen him last night. How could something have happened so suddenly? Her first thought was of Xander.Luke sent her a video.It was night time In the video, the street outside a bar was brightly lit, and neon signs flashed from the tall buildings. The place was bustling with people. The videographer had been capturing the night scene when suddenly, the sound of roaring engines was heard—Orson stepped out of a car, dressed formally, and entered a club discreetly. But within minutes, he was kicked out, landing heavily on the ground.Approaching him were five or six masked men in black, clearly part of an organized group of thugs. Orson screamed in fear, "Who are you?"Two men grabbed him, while the others began beating him badly. His screams echoed through the street, and it was clear they were showing no mercy.Blood pooled on the ground.

    With nothing better to do, Grace nodded. "Let's watch."Caleb led her out the door.The leading actress of the film they were heading to was a friend of Caleb's in the industry, which allowed him to visit the set under the guise of catching up. As their car parked at the entrance, they saw a throng of reporters pushing their way inside.Celia wore a hat and mask. She was dragging a suitcase, and she looked disheveled and desperate. "You can't fire me! I'm the second female lead! The film is almost finished! You're breaching the contract!""You caused a scandal. That's the real breach of contract. It's a good thing we're not asking you for damage compensation! Get out, get out!"The staff were shoving her out.Reporters swarmed her. "Celia, how do you respond to the video online?""Is it true you have a sugar daddy?""Celia, Celia!""Shut up!" Celia screamed, her hair a mess. "It's fake, all fake! I'm an actress, how could I do such things?""But the video…"Celia lashed out,
