Chapter 721 They're Working Together

Xander pinched Grace's cheek. "Am I smelly?""It's fine. I like the smell of alcohol and smoke on you. It's different from others'. It's not disgusting." Grace spoke innocently, squeezing his waist to prove her point.Xander's eyes darkened.…The next day, when Grace woke up, she found herself alone in bed. Rubbing her waist, she got up and noticed a note that had been left on the bedside table."There's breakfast on the table. Make sure you finish it. I'm leaving to deal with some matters. See you in the afternoon."Grace smiled. In her mind, she could hear Xander's gentle and calm voice saying those words.But there was nothing gentle about him in bed. Instead, he had a primal urge. He enjoyed gripping her neck lightly and demanding that she say she loved him until he was satisfied.It was an odd contrast.…"I attended a dinner yesterday and pulled out all the stops. I finally managed to find out when Celia is debuting," Ashley reported to Grace as soon as the latter arri

Chapter 722 She No Longer Needed to Endure

The secretary had just been transferred there and didn't quite understand the situation. She spoke with admiration in her eyes. "It's my first time seeing Mr. Fulton. He's just as the rumors say—extremely hot and suave."Hazel's phone vibrated, indicating that she had a new message. She glanced down at it. "Mr. Fulton has a girlfriend.""I know. Ms. Lewis from Amirate, right? She's also a very beautiful female powerhouse."The secretary's tone was suggestive as she continued, "But I thought Mr. Fulton wouldn't like that kind of woman. Don't men prefer gentle and virtuous wives who can cook for them after a busy day at work? Can Ms. Lewis do that?"Hearing that, Hazel gripped her phone tighter without realizing it. She glanced up at Xander, who was in the meeting room."Don't gossip about your boss," she said before leaving.She had just received news that Reina's daughter had been brought back to Pamore, and she needed to go and assist.…Celia had secured quite a few connectio

Chapter 723 Debut Gift

Even if they blurred the video, the hundreds of audience members present had already seen the entire content, not to mention the fellow artists on stage.Lukas felt a chill down his spine, but he also knew that the person behind this was not someone he could afford to offend. He wisely asked, "And what's in it for me, Ms. Ashley?""One million dollars." Ashley handed him a card. "Take 20 thousand dollars a month. You'll get the full amount in five months."Lukas immediately agreed. "I'll do it."He then walked onto the stage to control the situation. "How could you mess up with such a video? Change it back now!"Celia was trembling with anger and lost all interest in continuing the recording. As she stared at a figure in the corner, she understood everything at once.Grace was about to get up and leave. Even with a mask on, her stunning beauty couldn't be hidden. She glanced at Celia and then disdainfully looked away. She walked straight out, with Caleb following closely behind

Chapter 724 Hard to Be Friends

"I'll get someone to keep an eye on it," Benjamin said dismissively. "How could you do something like that? It's an embarrassment to our family."Celia's face turned red, then white. At that moment, Susan came downstairs. "Don't blame her. If you hadn't exiled her to Astana, would she have done something like that?"Susan was extremely displeased, and she looked angrier at the mention of Grace. Celia's lip curled, and she walked over to Benjamin. "Let's not talk about that. Benjamin, that woman didn't have good intentions from the start. She said she never had feelings for you! Are you really going to pine after someone like that?"Benjamin had been about to pick up his wine glass, but he faltered when he heard that. He looked impatient, and he was even more irritated when he thought of the unreplied message. "Pining after her? Isn't this what you wanted?"Celia was shocked into silence by his reply. Joshua was standing beside them. He did not see Susan offering him a cup of

Chapter 725 Love Makes Your Heart Ache

Frederick was confused.Benjamin narrowed his eyes as he watched Grace's slender figure walk straight to the room at the end of the corridor and push the door open to enter.He stopped a waiter passing by. "Who is using the premium private room today?"The waiter said respectfully, "It's Mr. Fulton of Futurelink."Benjamin took out two cigarettes deliberately. "Oh? Who is he entertaining?"The waiter hesitated and was silent for a while. Benjamin took out a card from his jacket pocket and handed it over along with the cigarettes. "Who is he entertaining?"The waiter turned sideways and gestured for him to look. "They're the people who drive these cars in the city. There are only a few of them."He looked in the direction of the parking lot. There were a few low-profile Bentley Mulsannes and Audi A6s. …Xander very rarely drank too much. Even when he was entertaining guests, he would control himself. With his position and influence, no one would even try to ply him with alco

Chapter 726 Like a Puppy

Hazel was about to return to the private room after seeing off all the bigshots, but she was stopped by someone from Futurelink's secretariat department. "Don't go back in there. Remember, Ms. Lewis is here."Hazel stopped in her tracks and regained her senses. She shook her head awkwardly, saying, "I was so busy that I forgot.""Ms. Yale, where do you live? Let's leave together." The other person had already taken out his car keys. Hazel instinctively said, "No, I'll wait for Mr. Fulton. You can head back first.""Oh, you've forgotten again. Weren't you the one who asked Ms. Lewis to come? She has a chauffeur. What are you worried about?" He tugged on her arm again. He was worried about facing Xander's wrath. Hazel finally fully regained her senses. She smiled awkwardly and did not continue walking back to the room. At that moment, she received a call. "What's the matter?"Hazel answered whatever the person on the other end of the line had said. "She is very important to Mr.

Chapter 727 Why Does He Need That

Xander finally managed to coax Hestia into going out for some relaxation. He got into the car and looked at the seat next to him. There were no neatly arranged documents from Hazel. He asked the chauffeur, "Hasn't Hazel arrived yet?""Not yet. Maybe she had a bit too much to drink last night and is running late."Xander did not answer. Hazel had a high alcohol tolerance. In fact, she was better than the employees in the public relations department. Otherwise, she would not have been able to stay by his side. Had she had too much to drink?…A few days ago, Aaron had taken Harold back to Frenda, so only Victor had stayed until the last day of the holidays. Grace was driving him to the airport. He still looked half-asleep. "I don't want to go to work."Grace burst into laughter. "Why did you insist on becoming a programmer? All your hair will be gone in another ten years.""That's not because I'm a programmer." Victor crossed his legs lazily as he waited to check in. "How's i

Chapter 728 Bobby Has a Problem

Jake did not know that Xander already knew about everything. He was still trying to threaten Grace with this matter. Grace relaxed slightly but looked alert. "What will it take for you to give me the original copies?" A cigarette dangled from his mouth, and he turned aside slightly. A strong gust of wind swept over the balcony, and a tendril of smoke floated over to Grace's nostrils. She frowned impatiently. Jake looked amused. He leaned closer on purpose to blow smoke on her face. "Jake!" "So, you're anxious now? Why weren't you nervous when you were on that rendezvous with the tea house owner?" The moment Grace had put something in his drink, Jake had gotten a bad impression of her and her scheming ways, even if she was the sole heiress of the Lewis family. She was too smart and too capable. She didn't behave the way he expected beautiful women to behave. He had been delighted to see her dating Shawn because he had realized that Xander's hand-picked girlfriend was ju

Chapter 729 Orson Lexington

Grace nodded. "It's a delight to continue working with you, Mr. Baxter."Bobby had had a little too much to drink. He waved his hand expansively. "He tailor-made this project for you. You don't know this, but on the day of the tender, he cornered me at Fulton Group and forced me to play a game of chess with him. I was almost scared out of my wits."Grace was startled. She hadn't known about that. She thought for a moment. Xander must have come up with the project so that he could return to Pamore."It's just that Jake caught up unexpectedly. Now all is well. He's been defeated, and Mr. Fulton still holds the authority."Grace hurriedly stopped him. "Mr. Baxter, it's still too early to say. It won't sound good if this gets out."Bobby came to his senses and slapped himself on the head. "What a blockhead I am."Bobby's eyes were filled with admiration for Grace. Meanwhile, Grace thought to herself that he probably wouldn't have trusted her so much if it weren't for Xander.Her

Chapter 730 Harassment

"I do apologize for the state of my car, Ms. Lewis. I'm sure you're used to more luxurious forms of transport." Orson joked. "That's an exaggeration." Grace smiled slightly and got into the backseat. "Civil servants work hard to serve the people. You have to run around in all circumstances." The phone in her hand rang at that moment. It was Xander. She turned it to vibrate mode and did not pick it up. Orson scrutinized her in the rearview mirror. She had the kind of face that would suit all kinds of styles. She could be flirtatious but also innocent. Even while she had her head lowered to look at her phone, she was extraordinarily attractive. Grace seemed to sense his eyes on her. She smiled. "Am I good-looking, Mr. Lexington?" Her forthrightness surprised him, and he looked away hastily. "When I look at a woman, I don't care about whether or not she's beautiful. All I care about is whether or not she broke the law. "Mr. Baxter asked you to put in a good word for hi
