Chapter 601 It's Not Over Yet

"Have you two been together for a long time?" the medical staff asked.Grace wanted to say no, but Xander held her hand and nodded. "Yes."His answer made her heart skip a beat.After getting his wounds bandaged, Xander left to give the police his statement. Grace waited in the lobby of the police station, Xander's coat still on her."Samuel vanished after the incident. He's likely involved," reported Luke.Grace massaged her temples. "I can probably guess why.""Mr. Fulton ordered the news to be suppressed. Word won't get out.""What about my family?""We tried to keep it from them, lest they worry. But Caleb was around and found out about it."Just as Luke explained the situation, two figures rushed into the police station. The one in the lead had a mask on, and he called out, "Gracie!"To their surprise, it was Caleb. Caleb grabbed a staff member and demanded, "Where's Grace? I'm looking for Grace!"Grace spoke up weakly, "Caleb, I'm over here."Caleb immediately turned

Chapter 602 Got Together

There was a plum blossom tree in the police station's courtyard. It filled the air with a sweet fragrance.Benjamin stood under the tree, glancing at Caleb, who was staring at him from the side. "I don't know Brodie, and I didn't orchestrate the incident.""What about Ryan Madden?"Grace held his gaze as she questioned, "It just happened to be the Eastwood property's construction site, and the contractor is Ryan. You know him. "Besides, everyone knows that Jessica is the investor. What's your relationship with her?"Brodie had been right. Benjamin had indeed met Ryan once. When Benjamin had gone to see Jessica the other day, he hadn't left immediately. Instead, he had parked his car in the distance and watched Ryan sneak out suspiciously.At that time, Ryan had been extremely alarmed when Benjamin stopped him. "You …"Benjamin had opened a pack of cigarettes and handed him two, warning, "I'm watching you. Don't do something you shouldn't."Perhaps Brodie had witnessed their

Chapter 603 Doesn't Matter if You're Alexander or Shawn

Xander's phone vibrated in his palms. He glanced at the caller ID before calmly stepping aside. "Speak." Hazel sounded urgent and flustered. "Mr. Fulton, you finally answered. Did something happen at Pamore? I can't reach Peter either." "It's okay. What's the situation at Fulton Group?" Hazel didn't press for details since he didn't want to explain himself. She composed herself and said, "Mr. Fulton Senior has discovered the Aether project. He's furious and is coming to the company to see you. "I've been trying to delay him but can't hold him off much longer." "Tell him that I'm in Pamore with Grace." Hazel was surprised that mentioning Grace had such an effect. "Do they know each other?" Xander let out a light chuckle. "More than you think.""What about the project?" "Just mention Bobby. He'll give my father an explanation." The call ended, and Grace happened to walk over. "Business?" Xander nodded and reached out for her hand. There was a scratch, ban

Chapter 604 My Only Sister

Grace was immediately cautious. "Caleb, you..." "You're already defending him, and I haven't even done anything yet." Xander placed a bowl of apples in her arms. "Finish these, and the IV drip will be done. Wait for me to come back." The two men with similar build walked out of the hospital, one after the other. Grace was worried and asked Luke, "Can you check on them? I hope they don't get into a fight." "Mr. Caleb won't do that. It shouldn't come to that."The strong wind on the hospital rooftop blew open their coats. Caleb was an experienced celebrity over many years. He stood tall and distinguished, but Xander didn't pale in comparison. "Caleb, you have something to say." After a long moment, Caleb looked at him intently and said, "We grew up together. Your parents were like family to me. We're not brothers by blood but are closer than that." "Of course." "We used to be close, but then we each got busy with our careers and lost touch. I don't know what you'

Chapter 605 Most Likely Him

"Why would she run if she had nothing to hide? She most likely orchestrates this incident." Larry stood in front of the desk at Hawkins Group, frustrated with the situation. Benjamin fiddled with a pen in his hand. His face darkened as he said, "Ryan isn't capable of hiring Brodie. It was Danielle. She has connections with those people at the border." "She had such connections?" "It's sparse. She wouldn't use them unless necessary." Larry pondered and said, "Danielle must be desperate.""The construction project is on the brink of collapse. She wanted to take preventive measures by asking Grace for money. "She didn't expect Xander to return suddenly, making her efforts futile. Now that the construction site is under investigation, it's no wonder she fled." Benjamin tossed the pen on the desk, visibly irritated. "So, what do we do now? Amirate Corporation won't let this go without an explanation." Benjamin rubbed his temples. "Not just them, Brodie's identity has

Chapter 606 A Second Setup

Grace was close enough to hear Aaron's words and stuck out her tongue. Xander patted her head gently and braced himself for the scolding.Aaron didn't dwell on it further and changed the subject. "I attended a meeting today and ran into Jake." Xander was startled when he heard this. Then, he regained his composure.Nobody else was aware that Xander had a brother. He didn't expect Aaron to know. Turns out this was an unspoken secret amongst the elites of Frenda."The meeting was about foreign trade distribution. Jake was there. "He was injured, sitting at the back. He didn't recognize me. I heard you demoted him." "It's temporary. He can still be of use when the time comes." "After the meeting ended, I saw Uncle Raymond teaching him a lesson as I was leaving the parking lot." Xander understood the reason but remained silent for a moment."Jake's still his son, after all. You should be cautious."Aaron was clearly giving a heartfelt warning. "I understand." Xander

Chapter 607 Boyfriends Should Look Out for Their Girlfriends

After they left, Xander crouched down and lifted Grace's face, which was flushed red. "Why are you acting so shy? You took the initiative." She forgot that Matthew also lived in the area. She didn't expect him to pass by just at that moment. Grace avoided his eyes. "I blame you for flirting with me outside and embarrassing me." Xander was speechless; her unreasonable ability to argue had always been unparalleled. The doorbell rang. Luke had arrived."Ms. Lewis, Mr. Walker's whereabouts are unknown. We contacted the bank, and there's not a penny in his account. "The construction site is under investigation due to the kidnapping case. We'll trace the funding issue within two days. Grace had expected this. "Mr. Walker borrowed a considerable amount of money at high-interest rates to invest in the Eastwood property with Jessica. "Even if he doesn't show up, those who lent him money will come knocking on our door. Assign someone to keep an eye on them." Luke nodded in

Chapter 608 Is He Back

This place was simultaneously the quietest and most crowded club in Pamore. The rich and the powerful came and went constantly. It was quiet because it wasn't decorated lavishly, and it was crowded because it was always fully booked. It was hard to get a room here. In one of the rooms that were further inside, the atmosphere grew quieter and quieter as the meal progressed. Howard Donegan pulled at his collar and raised his glass. He looked at the rich heirs around the table. "Timothy, I just remembered that I've got something to do. I'll make a toast to you. Happy birthday."He downed the drink and got ready to leave. Timothy and Frederick exchanged glances. Timothy hurriedly stopped him. "Mr. Donegan, you've only been here for ten minutes. What's the rush? My parents haven't even arrived yet, and they're dying to see you. Please humor them."Howard did not say anything, but there was a fiery look in his eyes. The Donegans had an international chamber of commerce and carr

Chapter 609 The Other Hawkins Son

Alexander was the eldest son in the Hawkins family. His mother had died in childbirth, and his father had married Susan almost right after that. She had taken over the family assets and given birth to Benjamin and Celia. The strange thing was that Benjamin bore a strong resemblance to Alexander. This bothered Susan, and she disliked Alexander even more as a result. If it hadn't been for Elizabeth's protection, he wouldn't have survived. After they grew a little older, Alexander went to boarding school. He rarely went home until he started work. After some time, nobody within the circle knew that the Hawkins had an older son named Alexander. After his accident, Grace had appeared. This strange woman had grabbed him and started gabbling nonsense at him. Benjamin knew that the person she had taken him for was Alexander, not him. She had liked him for so many years because of Alexander, not him. He didn't know why, but he hadn't told her the truth. He had simply allowed

Chapter 610 The Third Party

Grace's hair was long, black, and straight. She maintained it very well, and it felt like silk in Xander's fingers. Xander patiently blew it dry bit by bit. The fragrance of her shampoo wafted in the air, and it was a calming scent. Grace was thoughtful. "Xander, no one except my older brother has ever helped me dry my hair."The sound of the hairdryer was loud, so Xander teased her. "Not even Benjamin?""While we were married, he avoided me like the plague. I would be dreaming if I tried to get him to dry my hair."Grace snorted with laughter. It sounded ridiculous when she said it out loud. Xander ran his fingers through her hair thoughtfully. The difference between Benjamin then and now was too big. Grace wasn't an unattractive woman. There must have been times when he was tempted, but Benjamin had suppressed it by force. Then, he had pestered her continuously after their divorce. This didn't make any sense unless something had stopped him from taking action wit
