Grace couldn't help but laugh as she dodged back. "Stop it, I'm not cursed.""Just let him do it. He's been worried sick these past few days. He even left his film shoot halfway to come back," Victor said with a smile while trying to calm the situation.Grace's smile faded. "I appreciate everyone's concern. A lot has been done on the outside, hasn't it?""Mostly by Aaron, and…" Victor paused as he remembered the recent events, noting how Xander had been particularly exhausted while working almost around the clock. He carefully added, "And Xander."He had indeed been released.Grace’s expression stiffened slightly. The events of the past days and Jake's words had planted a seed of doubt within her."It's good to know you’re all right." Caleb, ever carefree, tossed the sage leaves aside. "Although you can’t go out yet, I've hired a chef to stay here and cook for you. You’ve lost weight. You don’t look good."Grace chuckled. "I'm not that delicate. I was only detained for a few day

Jake ignored her and pressed on, "Do you really have feelings?""Is it so unbelievable?" Grace raised an eyebrow. "My first job after graduation was opening a retail store. Although it was also busy and tiring, at least I was my own boss. Later, I joined Hawkins Group and spent the hardest years there. I learned a lot."Now that the boss has fallen, can't I feel regret?"Without those years at Hawkins Group, she wouldn't have thrived at Amirate.Hawkins Group should have had better development, but those leading it did not do well. Benjamin deserved to die. He even failed his former self.Jake was amused. He put out his cigarette, scoffing lowly."What are you laughing at?""Benjamin is finished. I think his original plan was to frame you and get you imprisoned, then have his backers bail him out. But now, they can't save themselves either. He's trapped by his own scheme."Jake crossed his legs, picking up a banana from the table and eating it with relish."He's stupid, but yo

Hestia sat across from Xander. "How can you be sure that the people behind Benjamin are those two?"This move could almost be described as a fatal blow. Although the investigation is still ongoing, the downfall of the Lewis family and their affiliates seemed all but confirmed. Winston had zero tolerance for such matters."It's not hard to find out. Just look into which departments Hawkins Group has had the deepest dealings with over the years, and where there have been more unreasonable collaborations."Xander handed his mother a cup of hot water. "You don't have to come back anymore."Hestia didn't accept it and instead stared at him. "You're being investigated. Grace is being investigated. How can I leave Pamore peacefully? Even if you don't tell her, you should at least inform me."Xander had grown noticeably thinner, his features more defined. As a mature, clean-cut, and wealthy man, countless women would throw themselves at him."I thought that if my mother appeared to be ve

He rarely wore formal suits. Most of the time, his attire was casual—white shirt, black pants, with few other colors, exuding both warmth and aloofness.Today, perhaps due to the formal occasion, he donned a well-tailored custom suit that perfectly accentuated his tall and lean figure.The partner shook hands with him, and he responded with a slight smile. The camera captured his profile—distinct and angular. Today, his demeanor was exceptionally imposing.Grace stared at the man in the video, her heart skipping a beat. The last time she saw him was through a photo from Zoey. Today, after she saw him in person, he indeed looked much thinner.The livestream had already reached its midpoint. Xander had signed the cooperation agreement with the partner and was now cutting the ribbon on stage. Many employees were gathered below, looking quite excited.This livestream was highly publicized. The board member of Futurelink being exonerated naturally needed to be widely broadcasted to enh

"Apologize for what? It's unnecessary. Mr. Fulton, I can't accept your apology. Take it back."She tried to break free from his strong grip, but her strength was no match for his, and she couldn't escape his embrace.Her packed luggage was nearby. Xander glanced at it and ran his hand through her long hair. "You're leaving. Where are you planning to go?" he asked knowingly. Wherever she went, it wouldn't be to find him."I'm not homeless. I still have work to handle, business trips, and social engagements. I can go anywhere. Isn't managing Futurelink enough for Mr. Fulton? Do you need to manage my life too?"Grace suppressed her anger and was still struggling to break free."Let go of me. You smell terrible."Hearing these words made him loosen his grip. Grace successfully escaped, turned away, and refused to look at him.Xander realized he had a perfume scent on him. He unbuttoned his shirt, took off his jacket, and threw it aside."I originally planned to keep my mother in th
