Chapter 611 Recognize His Corpse

Xander saw that she was being obstinate and pinched her nose. Grace snatched the cigarette from his fingers. It was too strong, and she wasn't used to it. She coughed heavily. Xander patted her on the back. "Then when can we do it?" She persisted. Xander was finding it hard to stand firm. He clapped a hand to his forehead. "Wow, you're keen."It was an unfulfilled desire, after all. Grace swatted him away and hid herself in the blankets. She scrunched up her face. "You'd better not regret it!"Xander had never been in a better mood. The next morning, the servant came to make a report. "There's someone outside who insists on seeing Ms. Lewis."Grace looked up. "Who is it?""He says his surname is Yeager."Grace frowned. A few minutes later, the door opened. Grace had just sat down when Quentin tumbled in and slid to his knees in front of her. "Ms. Lewis, Ms. Lewis, you've got to save me!"Grace was shocked. She frowned. "Quentin, what do you mean by this?"Q

Chapter 612 Let Her Keep Winning

It was Monday, and Grace needed to attend the company's regular meeting.Xander helped her put on her coat to cover up the scars and the hickey on her neck. He drove her to Amirate himself. Before she entered, she was a little nervous as she adjusted her clothing. "Do I look okay?""You always do.""I'm serious.""You really always do." He smiled. In the meeting room, out of the 12 directors of Amirate, 11 were present. Samuel was absent."Amirate's finance report for the fourth quarter has already been distributed to all of you. Please peruse it at your disposal."The report was very detailed, and the earnings for the fourth quarter were 58.8% higher than that of the third quarter. This was a stunning amount. Someone said in awe, "The trade amount of Amirate has grown 629.9% year on year. We've all heard of Ms. Lewis' outstanding results."Grace sat at the head of the table and clicked on the next slide. "You're giving me too much credit. The projects that Amirate took

Chapter 613 Hickeys

Grace stayed at Summitview Manor for two days straight. Xander sent her to and from work himself. Some staff members managed to catch a photo of the two of them walking together. They looked perfect together. After Black Friday was over, the entire industry knew that Amirate had won an enormous victory. Added to the relentless promotion through Zoey's finance magazine, Grace was at the top of her game. They clamored for Grace to treat them to dinner. Grace had no choice. She showed the conversation to Xander, who smiled and made a reservation at a Pamore restaurant, which charged at least ten thousand per person. Before they arrived, Grace started laughing her head off at her phone. Xander leaned over to look at the conversation, but she dodged before he could see anything. "Are you checking up on me?""Can't I?""You can check any of my conversations with men, but you're not allowed to look at any of my conversations with my girls." The chat history of their group

Chapter 614 Owe Her an Explanation

Grace lifted her glass and smiled. "Do you have proof?""I haven't found proof yet.""You will." Grace looked at Lydia. "Where's Caleb?""He's got a new song, so he's in the recording studio."After they had gone public with their romance, Caleb had taken charge and made sure that Lydia's identity was not revealed. The only thing he could do in the ensuing uproar was to show everyone his skills.The challenge would be good for him. Xander listened to them talk and made sure to fill up Grace's plate from time to time. He had excellent table manners."Mr. Fulton, I'd like to make a toast to you. Gracie doesn't have a good temper, so please be more understanding of her."Zoey lifted up her glass. She spoke with the confidence of someone who was like family to Grace. "We're friends. You don't need to stand on formalities." Xander lowered his glass and looked at Grace. "She has a pretty good temper."Everyone immediately started teasing them. Grace blushed. "Mr. Fulton

Chapter 615 Are You Jealous

Everyone enjoyed the meal thoroughly. Grace watched her friends leave. She hung on Xander's arm as they stood beside the car. "Did you smoke?"There was a faint whiff of smoke on his person. It wasn't strong. In fact, it smelled rather nice. "Just one." Xander rearranged her scarf for her. "I met Benjamin just now."Her eyes widened slightly in surprise. "What did you guys talk about?""He said that for the past three years, this restaurant has been booked by Hawkins Group. He said that you used to come here often."Xander's tone was measured, but he dragged out his words on purpose. It made Grace rather uncomfortable. Grace looked past him and saw Benjamin, who happened to be walking out. She looked away. "That's true. I used to meet clients here for him when I was his secretary, but I'd forgotten about it."She'd been so busy with Amirate for the past year and had completely forgotten about such a minor detail. When Grace looked up at Xander, there was a pleading l

Chapter 616 Loan Sharks

It had only been a couple of days since they last met, but Samuel had undergone a huge transformation. He was dressed shabbily and hadn't shaved. His beer belly added to the effect, making him look completely down and out. The secretary couldn't believe his eyes when he came to pick him up. "When did you get out?" Samuel glared at the secretary and then kicked him. "Why didn't you come and rescue me after you got out? Ingrate!"The secretary dodged his kicks, wailing, "Mr. Walker, I only just got out! I came to bail you out the moment I was released!"Samuel's kick didn't land, and he plopped onto the floor. He panted as he looked at the road. "Where's my car?""I… your assets have all been taken by the loan sharks. I came here by public transport…"Samuel was aghast. "It's all gone?""... it's a-all gone." The secretary did not dare to look at him. "I still have a house…""Perhaps you've forgotten this, but you mortgaged your house for cash to invest in the Eastwood co

Chapter 617 Selling Shares

"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

Chapter 618 Must Protect Her

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

Chapter 619 What Happened Back Then

"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

Chapter 620 The Truth of the Car Accident

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
