"How about we meet in front of Pamore University?"Suddenly, Grace realized that she shouldn't be going out these days."Where are you? I'll send someone to pick you up."An hour later, there were still reporters at Amirate Corporation. They were waiting for Grace to appear with the hopes of getting more footage.At that moment, a car pulled up, and three innocent youngsters stepped out.Sharp-eyed reporters immediately recognized the girl at the front as this year's SAT top scorer in Pamore, Sophia Maddison.The two boys behind her were no less remarkable—Otto Berry, who had scored first in science, and Robin Cooper, who had received the Writing Award.All three of them had faint surgical scars on their upper lips. They were scars from cleft lip surgeries they had undergone as children.June was the time for SAT results, so apart from celebrity scandals, SAT was a hot topic for netizens.Instantly, cameras and microphones approached Sophia and her two companions."First of a
Smiling, Grace said, "Yep, that's me.""How can they badmouth you? Let me go down and talk to them!" Robin was clearly the most hot-headed among the three."I'll go with you!""Me too!""There's no need. The truth will come out on its own." Amused by their protectiveness, Grace smiled. "I'm fine as long as the people I care about don't see me that way."After that, she asked the children various questions, such as what they needed for their enrolment and so on. She assured them that she had already transferred living expenses to their bank accounts, so they should take good care of themselves.She also reminded them not to reveal her identity as Calico and then arranged for security to send them out through the underground parking.Once the three kids were safely sent away, she received a call from Timothy.He had been on business trips frequently lately, all arranged by Grace. Since he had felt guilty, he had willingly followed her orders.On the phone, he first cursed the
Caleb made an international call. "Wake everyone up to play 'Legends of Triumph' with my sister."After that, he handed a professionally mixed cocktail to Grace. "Wait a few minutes. They'll be online soon."Grace lazily agreed while sitting in her gaming chair with her legs curled up.On the other side of the ocean, Galloria was in the early hours of the morning.John Flynn, the person in charge of the EDF Esports Club, was instantly awakened by the phone call. He hurriedly ran to the doors of his team members' rooms and started frantically gathering them.Three minutes later, the sleepy team members, wrapped in blankets, yawned one after another."John, it's the middle of the night, and we don't have a habit of training at this hour!"Despite the dark circles under his eyes,John forced himself to stay awake."Listen up, everyone! Our boss just called."Hearing that, the team members instantly became alert.This mysterious behind-the-scenes boss was a tycoon who gave them
Caleb calmly instructed John, "Ask them to focus on the tournament and look forward to the bonus."He then hung up the phone."Since when did you invest in an esports team, Caleb?" Grace asked curiously, sipping her cocktail."Since I'm terrible at playing games, I always lose, and my teammates make fun of me. So in frustration, I spent two billion dollars to assemble a team."Caleb continued, "I just don't believe that you can't buy talent with money."Smiling, he swayed in his gaming chair. "This team is yours from now on. I'm giving it to you today.""Well, thank you for that!" Grace replied with a wink.Just then, an unknown number called her, so she rejected the call without thinking. Surprisingly, the caller didn't give up and called a second time."Hello?""Grace, you know how powerful I am now. Return the thumb ring to me and apologize to Yvonne." Richard's tone was arrogant. "By the way, how does it feel to be insulted by everyone on the internet?"With a mocking s
The first plane crash had opened Grace's eyes to the truth about Benjamin and their marriage. As a result, she had become disillusioned that giving more would get her a response.But during this second time, she had no one beside her.Melancholically, Grace stared at her shattered phone screen, and tears welled up in her eyes.Outside, a fierce wind raged, and a helicopter slowly landed. From it emerged a tall man in a suit, exuding an air of sophistication.The moment he landed, he seemed to have found the person he was looking for. He began to stride toward his target with confident steps.The commotion caused by the helicopter's arrival drew the attention of the other rescued passengers. Everyone was curious about the person this man had come to pick up."He's so hot! Which injured princess is he here to pick up?"Grace had no interest in looking in the direction they were pointing. But when she heard that comment, her tears flowed uncontrollably.Everyone else had someone t
Harold and his three grandsons had been waiting in the living room for a while.When they had seen the news, they had felt relieved that the apple of their eye was safe. But as they thought about it, they realized something was amiss.How had these two already been portrayed as a couple on the internet?Caleb deeply regretted leaving on an earlier flight to meet his friends in Darai, leaving Grace to fly back alone.Meanwhile, Raymond was relieved to see his son and wife coming to the rescue. "Xander, greet Mr. Lewis Senior."Xander approached and politely nodded. "Hello, Mr. Lewis Senior.""Hi." Harold was dressed in an indigo suit. Though his hair was all gray, he still looked vibrant.Meanwhile, Aaron and Xander exchanged glances, acknowledging each other. They were classmates and had a good relationship.Victor analytically assessed Xander, thinking about sneaking into the latter's computer to check his character.On the other hand, Caleb was hostile. He was determined not
Larry's number was also blocked.As Benjamin watched the news showing Xander carrying Grace, he couldn't contain his jealousy and anger.Did that woman completely disregard him as her ex-husband?He forcefully pushed a pile of folders onto the ground, and his face turned dark."Mr. Hawkins, Harold Lewis, the chairman of Lewis Corporation, is celebrating his 70th birthday at Halifa Tower the day after tomorrow. "We have been invited. Should we book our tickets now?" Lanny asked."Yes!"…At night, the top floor of Halifa Tower was lit with a dazzling array of stars. The world's richest man, Harold, was celebrating his 70th birthday at the venue.Everyone on the Global Rich List was invited.All ingredients for the catering had been imported from abroad and cooked by world-class Frendish chefs. The entertainment featured performances by a world-famous orchestra to ensure a lavish experience for the guests.That showed how much they valued this event.These days, the trendi
The event was going smoothly outside the dressing room.In the center, Harold and Aaron were engaging in conversations with various guests. Their presence exuded authority and power.Just then, Richard, accompanied by Yvonne, approached them from behind."Mr. Lewis Senior." Richard's tone was slightly low, showing respect toward Harold.Though Harold was showing courtesy on the surface, his eyes were icy. "Mr. Quine Senior, when did you make it back to the top 100 of the Global Rich List?"The undertone of mockery in his voice was evident.Richard felt somewhat embarrassed by his question. "I'm exactly at the 100th position."The difference in power between Quine Group and Lewis Corporation was quite substantial. It had taken a great deal of effort for Richard to reach the top 100."I heard that you're going to introduce your granddaughter to everyone tonight."Smiling, Richard looked at Yvonne beside him and continued, "My granddaughter is very easy to get along with. I belie
