Grace pressed herself against the door, feeling as if she had escaped a huge ordeal. She hurriedly turned on her phone to call Luke. At that moment, she heard the voice outside ask, "Have you investigated the underground bank that Aether's CEO is running?" It was probably Chester Hyde speaking. "We're still investigating. The procedures required at all the major banks are complicated, and it's much easier to get a loan from an underground bank. "They're just on the border with an interest rate of 3.9, so it's not illegal. It will be difficult to convict them." Chester was displeased. "Recently, there have been three companies that were driven to bankruptcy because they borrowed from the underground bank and were unable to pay. "As a result, there have been many cases of people jumping off buildings to commit suicide. Can you say for sure that he hasn't done anything wrong?" "One of Amirate's directors was imprisoned for getting a private loan to invest in real estate. The

"He had an appointment with Mr. Morris, who was sent home this morning completely drunk. Since both of them were drinking, he probably wasn't here."Grace gripped Xander's hand tightly. "What if they ordered someone to do it?" The latter pinched her hand comfortingly. "We need to check the security camera footage." That would take time. Grace was very anxious. She suddenly thought of something and called Angus. "Officer Boone, is Reina being released tomorrow?" "According to procedure, yes."She had been imprisoned for a while, but there was insufficient evidence to sentence her. Grace was about to speak again, but Angus said in a somewhat embarrassed voice, "She was released on bail tonight." "What?" "The money was paid, and it was just a couple hours' difference. They won't be too strict about that."Grace was thunderstruck. "Who was it?""That is confidential.""Was it a Hawkins?" Angus was silent for about two seconds. "No."Grace hung up at once and looked at X

Hazel was shocked."So, Benjamin is confident because he's not afraid of being investigated."Xander speculated that there was a high likelihood that Benjamin was using Grace as a shield. "This isn't the only issue with Hawkins Group. It depends on the direction of Dexter's investigation."…Taking a bath had indeed helped Grace relax. Soon, she felt somewhat drowsy. She heard someone approaching from behind and massaging her temples gently, easing her tension.She thought Hestia hadn't left yet. "You don't need to do this, Aunt Hestia."There was a muffled chuckle from above. It sounded like a man's. Grace immediately turned around, pushing away the man's hand. "Who are you?"Xander's eyes sparkled with a smile. "You're so vigilant, even at home. You're quite cautious."So, it was him.Grace breathed a sigh of relief, sitting back in her original position. "Why didn't you make any noise?"She faced away from Xander, concealing her nervousness.Perhaps being cautious around

"But what?""Mr. Victor is an expert in this field. Can we ask him to—"Before Luke could finish his sentence, Grace interrupted, "No.""Victor's job doesn't allow him to repeatedly break the rules, and I don't want to cause him trouble." At this point, Grace couldn't help but feel a little regretful that she hadn't found the hacking expert Victor had mentioned. Otherwise, she might have been able to ask for their help."Let's think of another way. Also, keep a close eye on the Hawkins family."Luke agreed.After that, Grace contacted Zoey and asked her to help boost Celia's popularity. After hearing Grace's intention, Zoey chuckled. "Have you told Lydia about this?""I've already reached out to you, so of course, I've told her. She doesn't mind. In fact, she's a bit excited."Zoey laughed. "Excited? Her boyfriend is rumored to be dating another woman, and she's excited?"Grace also found it strange. Yet, she understood Lydia well and could guess the reason. "I suppose her b

Shawn didn't give a direct answer. "Actually, you don't need to report your work to me, Mr. Fulton."Xander ignored the comment and watched the fish fight for food. "Hawkins Group was investigated after the New Year. This deputy director is worried about being implicated in the matter, so he came to surrender to me."Shawn looked at Xander. "Do you mean to say that surrendering makes up for the lives that were changed?""Mr. Hawkins is a good man. He provided a considerable amount of compensation, enough for them to live comfortably for the rest of their lives."Shawn remained unmoved, snorting. "Is that so?"Suddenly, Xander chuckled. "You're quite righteous, Mr. Griffin. You don't seem to like enterprises like Hawkins Group.""I hate any enterprise that doesn't value human life," Shawn replied."Then, you must hope for Hawkins Group to fall."Sensing Xander probing, Shawn relaxed slightly. "These are the things you should do, and they have nothing to do with me.""I was ju
