As soon as Dexter arrived, Xander immediately began to explain the ins and outs of the behind-the-scenes transactions. He had also asked Hazel to supplement the evidence, detailing every single thing.Three hours later, Dexter looked at the densely packed records beside him. These things could completely clear his suspicion.He glanced at the man in front of him and asked, "Mr. Fulton, I'm curious. What made you suddenly willing to speak up?"Xander's eyebrows furrowed, his gaze sharp. "The earlier I speak up, the sooner I can resolve Mr. Hamilton's concerns. It seems you're not satisfied with that.""There's a cause and effect in everything. I don't think the evidence that came to us on a silver platter is something to be proud of." Dexter was unsatisfied that it was Xander who voluntarily confessed and not the result of a trial."There are rumors that Amirate's executive, Grace, was taken away for investigation due to tax issues from her former employer. And since she's Mr. Fult
"I won't say anything with the surveillance watching us. I'm just delivering food," Shawn firmly stated as he held a food container.Since they had already exchanged pleasantries, the staff member felt helpless. The staff member took a deep breath. "Fine. Half an hour."The floor Grace was on were all interrogation rooms. It was soundproofed to the extreme and was so quiet that only dust floated in the air.The staff member opened the door. Upon seeing Grace, Shawn immediately frowned, feeling a slight stuffiness in his chest.In the square room, her petite body was curled up in the chair. Perhaps she was tired, as she slept with her head on the table. Her ears were red from being pressed against the table, and she was devoid of the decisive attitude one would expect from a business setting.She looked more like a little girl.The noise startled Grace, and she reflexively sat up, rubbing her eyes. "Another interrogation?"Shawn turned his head, his eyes slightly red.Grace was
"Do you trust me?"Shawn raised the fork, offering it to her seriously.Grace paused, assessing him under the bright light bulb. "If it's Mr. Griffin, no. But if it's Shawn, maybe I can trust you a bit. Is that so?"It was a probing question, and Shawn's fingertips trembled slightly. At that moment, he really wanted to tell her he was Alexander."Yes.""Then I'll trust you." Grace took the fork from his hand but didn't eat the mouthful he offered.Shawn self-mockingly smirked and was about to bid farewell when a voice suddenly came from the doorway. "Sister-in-law."It was a clear, slightly provocative male voice. Grace looked up to see Jake leaning lazily against the door, holding a food container."How did you get here?" She was more surprised he called her sister-in-law. He had never called her that before."If I didn't come, how could I witness such an exciting scene?"Jake chuckled disdainfully, walking straight over and placing the food container on the table. As he reach
"Did I ask you to come?" Grace snapped.The chain on her coat was sharp, and it hit Jake's cheek, causing him to wince as blood immediately flowed.Grace felt her heart sink as she realized she had gone too far. She immediately stopped, "You…"Jake wiped away the blood with his hand, his gaze turning cold as he looked down at her. "I have trouble getting in here, but he can just come in like that? Grace, sometimes you're really brainless."Jake despised women who lacked intelligence the most, but now that he had to stay with her, he felt annoyed.Grace was well aware of what he was implying, but she didn't want to expose Shawn and subconsciously avoided delving deeper. She felt like it was a huge vortex, and once she stepped in, there would be no turning back."I know what's going on. I don't need you to tell me." Grace's attitude also turned cold, taking out a tissue and handing it to him. "Wipe it off."Jake didn't take it. "The bad guy visits me with no good intentions."Jus
In fact, it took only one day for the Securities and Exchange Commission to pass the evidence review and issue a certificate, clarifying that Xander was not involved in insider trading.In past cases, even if there was no issue found, the investigations usually uncovered some problems, and the reputation of the person investigated would suffer. Xander came out unscathed, relying on his absolute innocence and the people backing him.When Dexter signed the statement, his boss earnestly advised him, "You know who Mr. Jarvis is. He's your advisor, and you should be aware of his principles. Even with close relationships, as long as there are problems, he will investigate them thoroughly. Isn't his backing of Xander proof enough?"It was precisely because Dexter knew Winston's character and had the evidence in front of him that he agreed to sign and release Xander.However, the depth of Xander's schemes caused him to deeply furrow his brow, and he put down his pen. "Xander is not a simpl
Outside the window, the lake water rippled, and the sound of fish swimming was subtle.Xander's action of flipping through documents paused momentarily. Ultimately, he said no more and changed the subject. "I'm not in a position to show myself right now. Take this, help me find the two people on this business card, and hand these over to them."Shawn took it. "How will Grace be saved?""Benjamin can't come out right now, it’s Joshua who is handling things for him outside, I will use the power of Frenda to find his issues."Shawn asked again, "How will Grace be saved?"Xander suddenly looked up, his tone forceful. "Alexander, she's my girlfriend. Don't worry about things you shouldn't."This was, in a sense, the first face-to-face confrontation they had. It was a declaration of possession.Shawn clenched the edges of the documents, showing no weakness. "I saw her yesterday.""It's only been a few days and she’s lost quite a bit of weight. It's evident she’s anxious, yet even now
Lydia brought many changes of clothes for Grace. She busied herself with the arrangements, remaining silent with her head bowed."Why so quiet? You don't even talk when you come to see me." Grace stood by, forcing a smile and feeling somewhat uneasy.Tears welled up in Lydia's eyes, falling in large drops. "You’ve never suffered like this. From the moment I met you, you've been the diamond cherished in the palm of the Lewis family. How could you end up as a prisoner?"This reaction frightened Grace, and she hurriedly wiped away Lydia's tears. "I'm fine now, aren't I? I haven't lost any limbs.""You've lost weight."Grace was startled, and the tight feeling in her chest squeezed her. She swallowed her sobs. "Tell everyone not to worry. I haven't done anything, so they can't convict me.""Emily is so angry she wants to take a knife to the Hawkins family."A picture formed in Grace's mind, and she laughed out loud. Lydia joined in. "Aaron is also very worried about you. Your brothe
"Are there many regulations you have?" Aaron retorted with displeasure.The officials present trembled.Even though this wasn't his home turf, Aaron's commanding presence naturally intimidated them."There are hundreds of projects where Pamore and the Lewis Corporation collaborate. What do you think would happen to Pamore's GDP this year if I pull out the investments and sever these partnerships?"Aaron casually tossed his pen on the table.At that moment, someone knocked on the door, signaling to the head official. "A document has come down from above."Ten minutes later, the official returned, nodding respectfully to Aaron. "Tomorrow morning, you may visit Benjamin."Given the economic impact already caused by the troubles at Hawkins Group and Amirate, Pamore’s GDP would inevitably hit rock bottom if Aaron were to withdraw his investments.Having achieved his objective, Aaron got up and left while surrounded by a group of people.The official finally breathed a sigh of relie
