"Amirate is at the top of its game, and its stock is worth a lot of money, you know that. "As long as I sell it at a high price, I'll have money!""Gentlemen, please give me some time!"The men looked at each other. They decided to believe Samuel."I'll give you one day. If you can't pay, then you're dead!"The crowd of men moved off. The secretary hurriedly closed the door. "Mr. Walker, were you telling the truth? Those are Amirate's shares!"Samuel sat on the floor and looked down. There was the sharp smell of urine, and he turned red with embarrassment. "What do you think? Do you think that I'd be able to go back to Amirate now? Grace wants my life even more than those people!"Samuel was thinking clearly. "What about Jessica?""I can't reach her…""Bitch!"They were at Summitview Manor. "The moment Mr. Walker was released, all the shares for Amirate were put on sale," Luke reported. "Ten percent in total."Grace didn't even look at it. "Buy them all.""He's a
Samuel had reached a dead end. He rushed toward Grace and tried to strangle her but was stopped in time by Luke."Do you want to bear another charge, Director Walker?"Grace stood behind Luke, coldly watching Samuel struggle. She then made a call. "Officer, you can come up now."Shortly after, Angus and other police officers quickly entered and handcuffed Samuel. "You're suspected of intentional harm, illegal detention, invasion of privacy, and other charges. You're now under arrest."Samuel was almost dragged away. "Officers, this is a misunderstanding! She's inducing me to make a confession! It doesn't count!""Our conversation might not count, but what your assistant said might have some credibility, right?"Samuel looked at Josh at the door in disbelief. "You? It's you!""Director Walker... I didn't want to, but if I don't speak, I'll end up in jail, too.""You...!""He told me that the revelation of Caleb's relationship was your plan. Today, I'm returning everything
"As the end of the year approaches, major corporations have disclosed their financial reports for the year. Among them, the data from Amirate Corporation is particularly remarkable."We can see that several projects collaborated on by Amirate Corporation have brought them tremendous profits, exceeding their previous year's profit by 40%. Now, let's take a look..."In a dim room, Jessica curled up on a damp and cold sofa, drinking wine one gulp after another.As she glanced at the TV, she suddenly threw the bottle in her hand fiercely, smashing the screen. The host's face became distorted at once."You bitch!" Jessica gasped heavily.Suddenly, the door was pushed open. Faced with the strong smell of alcohol, the person instinctively covered their nose. With steady steps, they walked over to her and picked up the fallen bottle from the floor."No matter what, you're the only daughter of the Quine family out here. Mr. Quine Senior would be heartbroken to see that you've fallen
Jessica remained silent. After a moment, she grabbed Benjamin's hand."If he's back, that's another reason for you to help me get out of Pamore. Otherwise, if Grace finds out... Don't you love her? Aren't you afraid?"Benjamin's expression was unexpectedly calm. He grabbed Jessica's hand and shook it off. "Isn't Pamore a good place?""What do you mean?""Instead of hiding and running around, why not let Alexander leave Pamore? Isn't that better?"Jessica frowned, looking at him incredulously. "How is that possible? He works for the government! And even if he leaves, his people won't let me go.""My power in Pamore is enough to hide you." Benjamin had his own considerations. "There's only one way to get Alexander out.""What?""Create a more serious case related to him."Benjamin sat down. "I need to know why Brodie helped you."Jessica didn't want to say, but at this critical moment, she had no other choices."Can I trust you, Benjamin?"At her words, he smiled and shru
"Your empty words are useless. I won't believe you."Brodie immediately ripped off a necklace from his neck and handed it to her. "Consider it a token.""... If you don't come to rescue us, I'll find a way to kill you!"Growing up in the Quine family, Danielle had seen many deals and favors, so she made up her mind. She helped Brodie to get out while she and Alexander stayed with the gang.Those people were ruthless. Luckily, they didn't suspect Danielle and Alexander but just treated them as slaves.Danielle had nothing. That, coupled with her disfigurement, left her with no way to fight back. Moreover, when Alexander woke up, he lost his memory.This was a devastating blow to Danielle. They had no choice but to continue staying with the gang.One year had passed, but Brodie's rescue still hadn't arrived. Suddenly, one day, Alexander regained his memory. With his strong intelligence, he left the gang with Danielle."A while ago, I had no way out, so I thought of Brodie
The day Samuel concluded his testimony, the police contacted Grace to gather information.The servant served coffee, and the discussion went on for two hours."He implicated Jessica, but we don't know where she is. We're actively searching for her. If Amirate can provide any assistance, we'd appreciate it."Toward the end, Angus spoke in an official tone.Grace rose gracefully and thanked them. "Thank you for coming in person. I appreciate your efforts.""Ms. Lewis, you're now one of Pamore's major contributors to taxes. It's only right for us to make the trip." Angus closed the pen cap and stood up. "You're different from us ordinary workers."Grace handed him his briefcase. "You're serving the people."As she saw them out, Luke walked in. They nodded in acknowledgment as they passed by each other.Then Luke handed her a red invitation letter. "I went back to your place this morning and saw an invitation. I thought I'd bring it over."Angus turned around just in time to
"That's not what I meant. I just suddenly thought that Aunt Hestia and Uncle Raymond would be upset if they knew that you got injured because of me."Grace felt guilty."It's just a minor injury.""For parents, there's no such thing as a minor injury. They would feel sorry for you."After Grace said that, Xander was momentarily lost in thought.In the early years, when Hestia and Raymond were divorced, it seemed no different from before for outsiders. But only he knew that Raymond had to leave often to visit Priscilla and Jake.No matter if they were close or not, Jake was still his biological son, and Raymond was not a heartless person.After growing up, Xander occasionally saw Priscilla—the woman who had destroyed his complete family. Yet, he still had to respectfully address her as Aunt Priscilla.If Raymond had felt sorry for Xander, he wouldn't have put him in this situation."What's on your mind?" Grace smoothed his furrowed brow.Xander came back to his senses. "
Downstairs, there was a constant flow of influential figures."He must have some connections to open a teahouse in this location. It's a new opening. Surely people will come to show their support."Grace skillfully cleaned the tea set and brewed the tea leaves."Is that so? But Benjamin is also here."Hearing that, Grace frowned. When she glanced to the side, she indeed saw Benjamin entering the adjacent private room. He usually didn't like tea, but he actually came.Smiling, Xander took a seat. "I'm getting more and more curious about the kind of person your savior, Mr. Griffin, is."What kind of person? He was a person who needed to wear a mask year-round so as to not reveal his true identity.When Shawn received the news, he had just finished a social engagement. Spencer reported to him, "A private room was reserved a month ago. "I didn't know it was Mr. Hawkins. Since he's here, he probably already knows your identity."Shawn's eyes above the mask revealed his change
