Chapter 661 Sprained Ankle

"Did you go abroad?" Shawn asked after a moment. He must have seen her video. "Yep. I was visiting family.""Your relationship with Mr. Fulton is going very well."It was a statement. Grace's voice was full of love as she said, "We're pretty stable right now. Don't envy me, Mr. Griffin. You'll have the same thing in future."She thought he was envious of her. On the other end of the phone, his lips curved without thinking. "I'm fine.""No one can be fine. Everyone yearns to be loved. Don't be anxious. That person will appear one day."She thought she was comforting him, but it made Shawn moody. He picked up the purple clay teapot. "What if she never appears?""Hmm… Then, I'll introduce someone to you. I don't have much, but I do have a lot of girlfriends."Shawn laughed again. He was about to speak, but then he heard her cry out in pain. He said anxiously, "What's the matter?""I missed a step while I was going upstairs and fell." Grace inhaled sharply and looked down. H

Chapter 662 Putting on Medicine for Her

Shawn was very practiced with his movements. He disinfected the area, then sprayed some medicine on. He rubbed his hands to warm them and began to massage her ankle. His movements were gentle and slow. Grace could feel the pain in her ankle receding quickly. "You're very experienced. Have you ever learned professionally?"Her legs were slender and fair, and slightly reddened from the sprain. Shawn concentrated on his actions, and did not let his gaze linger. "Yes, I've studied this. I often got injured because of my job, and after some time, I became almost as good as a doctor."He was still wearing a mask and baseball cap at this hour, and the only thing she could see were a pair of gentle eyes. Grace was curious. "What did you do before? Why did you get injured so often?"Shawn's movements paused. "I don't have a good education, so I mostly did physical labor."Grace was startled, and suddenly felt that she shouldn't have asked. "I'm sorry, I didn't do it on purpose. I

Chapter 663 Taking the Mask Off

Xander found her endearing, so he laughed gently and comforted her. "It's been hard on you. You'll have to endure it for a while, but avoid meeting him if you can."As Grace's anger subsided, Xander spoke again. "Turn on the camera. Let me see."Grace had been speaking excitedly, but she froze for a moment when she heard his request. She looked at Shawn. Strangely, she felt like she was cheating."I'm about to go to bed. I don't look good right now."Xander thought that she was just being coy. "I've seen you in all kinds of states. Come on, be good. Let me have a look at you.""I really don't look good. I'm tired." She persisted.The issue was that Shawn was still there. It would be awkward for both of them. Xander didn't insist anymore and just told her to rest early. He asked her to turn on her video for him the next day, and she agreed at once.By the time she hung up, ten minutes had already passed.Shawn came in from outside. "Mr. Fulton is very concerned about you."Gr

Chapter 664 Elysium Bank's Annual Party

Just as Shawn had said, Grace's foot injury healed within two days.The moment she returned home, she received countless invitations to the annual parties of various large companies. Hawkins Group was among them. Larry had personally come with the invitation, but Luke had intercepted him smoothly."You didn't need to bring it, to be honest. Ms. Lewis will not attend."Larry had looked awkward. "I understand. Nevertheless, she still used to work at Hawkins Group. What if she still has a shred of feeling toward it? We sincerely invite Ms. Lewis to return and see how much the company has developed."Luke had shaken his head at that. "The past is the past. There's no point in looking back."Hence, Larry had been left with no choice but to return.When Grace heard about what had happened, there was no trace of emotion on her face. She said to Luke, "You did well."The other invitations were rejected as well, all except for one, which was from Elysium Bank. Noelle had personally w

Chapter 665 Suspected of Insider Trading

Benjamin took a deep breath and puffed out his chest.Grace was growing more and more distant from him by the day, but it was okay. Jessica had already been sent away, so Grace would never know that the person she had fallen in love with at first sight was actually Alexander. Anthony finished his speech, and the programme that the staff had prepared for the night began. The food was served. Since Noelle was the successor to Elysium Bank and she rarely appeared in public, many people came by to toast her.Timothy sensed that the atmosphere at their table had become rather awkward, so he tried to lighten the mood. "Milady, do you know the Iversons? They're one of the four largest families in Frenda."Grace knew about them. "We've had a few dealings in the past.""The second son of the Iversons is here in Pamore."Grace thought about it for a moment. She vaguely remembered that the name of the Iversons' second son was Joshua; he had been the one who had gone against Xander beca

Chapter 666 Cards on the Table

Grace's black eyes were very bright, and there was a firm resolve in them that no one else had. She looked at Benjamin, who let go of her guiltily. "I did hide things from you in the past, but I've never done that since we got divorced. Although it's late, I'm sure you know how I feel about you.""That's not what I'm talking about. I'm talking about before we got married."Benjamin swayed, and he pressed his lips together tightly. He didn't speak for a long time. "What?"Grace hadn't wanted to expose him. In fact, she had initially planned on just treating him like a stranger if they met. Since Benjamin insisted on pestering her, she didn't want to be taken for a fool."If you had admitted it yourself, I would've still admired your guts as a man, even though it's late. But it seems that you don't even have the courage to admit it." Grace spoke slowly, watching as Benjamin's expression turned gradually darker. "Does your older brother, Alexander, know that you married me in his

Chapter 667 Is That Celia

"You're impossible." Grace turned around. "I don't want to see you again."She strode off. Benjamin reached out a hand to try and stop her, but he missed. Grace's dress flared, and Benjamin caught sight of her bandaged ankle. He frowned. He had seen that kind of bandaging before. Anyone who had graduated from the police academy would know how to do it. Every New Year, Alexander refused to return to Hawkins Manor. It always made Elizabeth rather sad, so she would arrange for things to be delivered to him. Once, Benjamin had been roped into it and had gone to see Alexander. It had been raining heavily that year, and the police academy had been in a remote location. As they had been driving, a landslide had occurred. Both Benjamin and the driver had been buried in it. The students from the police academy had rescued them. Alexander had been one of them. He had been surprised to see Benjamin, but he was mature beyond his years. "You're Benjamin.""...you're Alexander.""A

Chapter 668 It Is Celia

There was a woman standing beside Joshua. She looked like she was trying to keep a low profile, but anyone could see that she was dressed from head to toe in branded attire. It was obvious that she was afraid that no one would notice her.She took Joshua's arm and smiled sweetly. "Ms. Noelle, you're as beautiful as I imagined."Noelle had been talking to Joshua, but the woman had interrupted them. The people around them looked at her strangely, and Joshua pulled his arm away. In answer to Noelle's previous question, he said, "No."The woman's expression darkened. Noelle's lip curled. "No wonder. Since we haven't met for so many years, I thought that perhaps your taste in women got worse."She was young and very charming. Joshua couldn't look away from her. "You're all grown up now, and you've got a sharp tongue. Do you have a boyfriend?"Noelle was about to speak when Anthony stopped her. "Not yet. She's still young. We're not in a rush about these things.""She's reached t

Chapter 669 You're Crazy

Joshua stuck out his hand and pulled Celia into his embrace. "She says she doesn't know who you are."Benjamin didn't say anything. He stared intently at Celia, who had changed so completely. No matter how angry he was, he couldn't make a scene at this time. Elysium Bank's annual party wasn't a joke, and there were many high officials present. He couldn't embarrass Anthony. Joshua was even more powerful than Hawkins Group, and it wouldn't be a good idea to offend him either. Grace could tell that Benjamin was suppressing his anger. When Joshua and the others took their seats, Timothy followed them. Grace grabbed Noelle's hand and whispered in her ear. Noelle nodded.After that, Grace didn't hang around longer; she left the party. Luke was waiting outside. "The production company that Joshua invested in is Stellar, which is one of the most popular companies right now. They're rivals with Amirate's film and television department.""Check the artists that he's signed on rec

Chapter 670 An Important Guest

The next day, Noelle rushed to Amirate to tell Grace about what had happened the night before."Joshua has an official girlfriend that he's been seeing for about three or four months. However, the Iversons don't acknowledge her existence, and her background is unclear. They just treat it as him playing around."Grace was flipping through some documents. "For the Iversons, even both the Hawkins family and Hawkins Group put together are insignificant. "Besides, Benjamin had exiled Celia to Astana. How did she come back?"Noelle shook her head. "No one knows. I heard that Joshua erased all traces of her past."This was interesting. Was Celia really that capable?Grace twirled the pen in her hand. "How were things last night?""Joshua and Timothy were like oil and water. Timothy tried to trick him into slipping up but failed despite trying the entire night. He was furious."Grace couldn't help laughing at the idea that Timothy had failed for once."Celia was at the table playing
