"Mom, what nonsense are you saying?" Benjamin quickly stopped Susan. He had never imagined that she harbored such malice toward Grace.He had been truly oblivious.However, Grace was unfazed. "Mr. Hawkins, I'll take my leave."Benjamin wanted to catch up with her, but Susan held him back. "Benjamin, I can't breathe. My chest feels tight.""Madam Hawkins, are you okay?" Jessica was concerned.Seeing this, Benjamin hurriedly turned to her, looking worried. "Mom, are you okay?"The next moment, Susan grabbed his arm. "Benjamin, listen to me. Don't get involved with Grace anymore. Look at Jessica. She's such a good girl. You two look like a match made in heaven."Benjamin frowned as he realized something.Smiling coldly, he pushed Susan away. Then he said indifferently, "Mom, your acting skills are truly top-notch. I really couldn't see through it before.""How can you say that, Benjamin? Benjamin—"No matter how much Susan called out to him, Benjamin ignored her and chased after

"Gracie, take a look. This is the accuser's Twitter account."Grace took Emily's phone and saw the contents on Twitter.The accuser had used their real identity and reported the boutique for plagiarism. He had presented the original design drafts and compared them with the clothing designs.Multiple classic designs were accused of being copied, and all the accusations pointed to Grace as the plagiarist.Grace scrolled across the screen, looking at the so-called original design drafts in disbelief.She had personally designed all the classic dresses in the boutique. There was no possibility of plagiarism. Two of the dresses had even been part of her final year design projects at university."This is impossible. Utterly impossible." Confused, Grace set the phone aside. At this moment, Xander also handed her the information his subordinates had found."We found it. You're accused of plagiarizing Jion. She's very popular and holds significant influence in the international design

A billion dollars?That was quite a bold demand."Who do you think you are, asking for one billion dollars? Have some shame," Emily retorted bluntly.Regardless of anything else, she firmly believed in Grace. Grace would never plagiarize someone else's work."The facts will reveal who the real plagiarist is. Even if you're internationally famous, you can't twist the truth. Aren't you afraid that your so-called fans will see your true colors?"Jessica remained unperturbed, lightly smiling while choosing to ignore Emily's words.She crossed her arms and walked closer to Grace. When she was just half a step away, she stopped. Lifting her gaze, she looked at Grace."I won't beat around the bush. The choice is in your hands, Ms. Lewis. It depends on what you decide, whether it's paying money to settle the matter or letting everyone perish together. What do you say?"Grace silently clenched her hands. She could tell that Jessica seemed to harbor deep hostility toward her.Yet she co

"Email all the information related to the accident to me.""Okay."A minute later, Callum sent all the information to Xander.Xander opened his email inbox and quickly browsed through the details."What is that, Xander?"Grace had already woken up.Xander continued to examine the information. Without hiding anything, he said, "I did a background check on Jessica. There's nothing unusual, except for a car accident five years ago. Her parents died, but she survived."Grace frowned, inevitably connecting it to Jessica's animosity toward her. "Do you suspect that the accident is related to me?"Xander handed her the phone. After she finished reading, she shook her head. "I didn't know Jessica before this, and I've never met her parents."So why did Jessica harbor such strong resentment for her? It was as if there was some deep-seated grudge between them."Don't overthink it. Relax. Leave it to me." Xander patted her shoulder reassuringly. Grace nodded, but her mind was filled w

The man before her, whether in looks, demeanor, or manners, was outstanding in every way. Kelly couldn't help but exclaim, "Grace, you have excellent taste. It seems your married life is going very well.""Professor Kelly, actually—""We came here to look for some of Grace's design work from her time here. We assume the school has records, right?" Xander interrupted Grace and directly stated their purpose.Upon hearing this, Kelly quickly responded, "Every student's design work from their school days is stored electronically. You can find them in the archive room. I can take you there to look.""Thank you so much, Professor Kelly," Xander said politely.Suddenly, Kelly looked at Grace with regret. "Grace was my best student and one of the most talented students I've encountered in all these years."I recommended her for a direct pass to continue her graduate studies. It's a pity that she missed that opportunity to marry you."Kelly sighed. Then, she looked at Grace and smiled.
