So, this is how heiresses from prestigious families are behind closed doors?""Don't just stand there. Quickly take pictures! These photos alone will sustain us for a lifetime.""The Hawkins family is doomed."Hearing the gossip, Celia had felt like her head was about to explode.What in the world had happened?As she had been caught in the midst of the chaos, she had grown increasingly agitated and fainted.Meanwhile, Wendy had wanted to flee, but she hadn't been able to find her clothes in the room. She had been completely naked, so she had no way of escaping.They had had no choice but to watch as the reporters had continued to take pictures of them.Wendy had known then that she was doomed.However, things hadn't stopped there.Thanks to the internet celebrity's live stream, everything that had happened in the room had been broadca

"Mom, what should I do? What should I do now?" Celia repeated her question in a crying tone.Feeling sorry for her, Susan tried to console her."It's okay, Cece. Don't worry. I'll send you overseas soon, and you can stay there for a few years. Come back when this matter settles down.""Mom, I don't want to go overseas. No.""But Cece, things have come to this point. There's no other way. Luckily, you've already dropped out of Pamore University. I'll have Ben find you a connection to apply to a foreign university, okay?"Susan sighed. Her eyes welled up with tears.Celia's eyes were already swollen from crying. Suddenly, she stopped and said, "Mom, it's Grace. It must be Grace! She's the one who did this to me."Hearing that, Susan was in disbelief. "What? Grace?"Celia was too preoccupied with her sorrow to think about how things had come to this.As she calmed down and thought back, she realized that it should have been Grace lying in the hotel room.Why had it ended up bein

Celia's scandal continued to circulate online.To mitigate the damage, Benjamin held the next quarter's product launch for Hawkins Group in advance. They shared the latest research findings about nanorobots as well.His swift response successfully diverted public attention from Celia's scandal to Hawkins Group's new product.In just a week, Hawkins Group's share prices started to recover."Tsk, tsk. Benjamin is really skilled at handling situations like this," Emily commented.Hearing that, Zoey said, "It's just standard procedure for capitalists. By the way, I heard that Celia has been sent overseas. I guess she won't be causing any trouble for now.""She's truly despicable. She has done so many outrageous things. Honestly, I think Benjamin has shown her mercy.""She's his sister, after all. He can't be too ruthless, can he?"As Zoey and Emily spoke, they both turned to look at Grace.Zoey said, "Babe, Celia's doomed. As for Wendy, I've made it impossible for her to find a jo

Sherry had seen many things, so even though Xander didn't give her the time of day, she remained unfazed."I understand, Mr. Fulton. You must have met a lot of people and forgotten about me. I'm Sherry Clark. We actually met at Futurelink Corporation's grand opening reception."Xander listened, but he still showed no sign of remembering her. "Oh, I'm sorry. I don't recall."He was straightforward, and his response almost bordered on rejection. Hearing that, Sherry smiled awkwardly.Meanwhile, Grace couldn't help but find the situation amusing. She was surprised that Xander could remain unmoved when such a stunning woman was standing right in front of him.Just then, Benjamin entered the hall, wearing a handmade black suit.Benjamin had chosen to attend this charity auction to restore Hawkins Group's reputation. He intended to make a charitable donation and regain public favor for his company."Mr. Hawkins, it's an honor to have you here." The organizer approached him with great

"Alright, next up, we have a floral-themed bodycon dress from the 1990s. It has a vintage feel and a collectible value. The starting bid for this bodycon dress is 500 thousand dollars.""550 thousand dollars.""600 thousand dollars.""700 thousand dollars."Quickly, the bodycon dress was bid up to one million dollars.Seizing the opportunity, Grace bid. "1.5 million dollars."When the people around saw it was Grace, they put down their paddles, not intending to compete anymore.But unexpectedly, Benjamin raised his paddle at this moment. "1.8 million dollars."This was the first time he bid tonight, and he was trying to snatch this bodycon dress from Grace's hands."Wait, what's happening? Benjamin and Grace are actually competing?""Ex-wife versus ex-husband. Who will come out on top?""I'm suddenly excited!"Grace didn't expect Benjamin to bid. Frowning, she immediately followed up. "2.2 million dollars."In response, Benjamin raised his paddle again. "Three million doll
