Chapter 221 Fire

"Ladies and gentlemen, your fruit platter is here."A waitress briskly walked up to them and placed the fruit platter on the table. Unnoticed by everyone, the waitress locked the door to the private room as she left. Outside the door, Wendy pulled out the key, her eyes darkening."Grace, since you won't let me live well, then let's all die together," she thought.Somehow, she got hold of gasoline. She aimed it directly at the door of the private room and poured it fiercely, not sparing the corridor either.After that, she took out a lighter, lit it, and threw it at the gasoline without hesitation.In an instant, flames surged and spread rapidly.Wendy laughed loudly and thought, "Grace, you're going to die today!""Ah! Fire! Fire!" A staff member in the corridor was the first to notice the fire and immediately triggered the fire alarm system.Instantaneously, the corridor was filled with screams and cries for help. "Help! This place is on fire! Everyone, run!"Inside the pri

Chapter 222 Critical Moment

Lydia shook her head as she coughed violently. Tears streamed down her face as she struggled to speak."Caleb, there's something I've wanted to tell you for a long time. I've liked you for a very, very long time."However, Caleb didn't hear her words clearly.Seeing her in distress, he kept her close in his arms. He only said, "Don't talk. The oxygen is getting scarce. Talking will make it hard for you to breathe."Lydia didn't care. She seemed to sense that death was approaching them.Even though she could barely keep her eyes open from how much they were stinging, she stayed close to Caleb.Even in the last moments of her life, she wanted to be with him.At this moment, everyone's eyes were red.What had once been a joyful situation had turned into a matter of life and death.Just then, Xander saw a fire extinguisher on the wall outside. Without hesitation, he took off his clothes to cover his head and rushed out."Xander!"Xander's body was roasted by the flames.But wit

Chapter 223 Xander Saved Her

Aaron's eyes darkened as he said, "Grace, you scared all of us, especially Grandpa. He hasn't slept for three days."Grace looked at Harold apologetically. "Grandpa, I'm sorry."Harold held her hand. "Don't apologize to me. You've been through such a big incident, and your body suffered heavy injuries. Fortunately, that boy from the Fulton family risked everything to save you from the fire."At the mention of Xander, Grace looked around but didn't see him. She immediately asked, "Grandpa, where's Xander?"Behind her, Aaron and Caleb exchanged glances.Finally, Aaron said, "Don't worry. Xander is fine, but his arm and back got burned. He's currently being treated in the next room. Aunt Hestia is there with him."When she heard that, Grace couldn't stay in bed any longer. She quickly got up. "What did you say? Xander got injured?"At the mention of that, Caleb felt guilty. He had protected Lydia at that time but failed to protect Grace. Because of that, Harold and his two brothers

Chapter 224 Teaching Wendy a Lesson

"Good. Tearing her apart wouldn't be excessive. This matter is in your hands now."The Lewis and Fulton families had reached an understanding. It was clear what kind of fate awaited Wendy.In a dim and damp room, Wendy's hands and feet were bound together. Her eyes were covered with a black cloth, and a smelly sock was stuffed into her mouth. She couldn't speak and could only make muffled sounds.At this moment, the door to the dark room was opened, and footsteps approached her. When Wendy felt someone's presence, she struggled incessantly and whimpered, seemingly pleading for mercy.Grace stood there, looking down at Wendy coldly. Finally, she said, "It's me, Grace."As her voice sounded, Wendy's movements abruptly stopped. She looked toward Grace's direction, but she couldn't see anything.Grace reached out to remove the black cloth. Suddenly, fear filled Wendy's eyes, and her body trembled.In contrast, Grace scoffed coldly. "What? Are you afraid now? Why weren't you afraid

Chapter 225 How Dare She Mess With Our Princess

After that, Wendy fainted immediately.Outside the room, Caleb couldn't help but sneer as he watched the scene on the monitor. The mockery in his eyes was evident. "That snake isn't poisonous, but she's scared to the point of fainting."Victor couldn't help but add, "Girls are afraid of snakes, even if it's just a common snake. But today is just the beginning."In the days that follow, we will put a snake in there every day to see her limits. How dare she mess with our little princess? If we don't drive her crazy, how will she pay for her actions?"Victor's words frightened Caleb, making the latter get goosebumps all over his body."Okay, let's do it according to the plan."As for Grace, she didn't care about what happened to Wendy. After she handed Wendy over to her two brothers, she didn't ask about Wendy's fate. Instead, she returned to the hospital to stay with Xander.In truth, Xander's condition wasn't that bad. But he stayed in the hospital for half a month due to arrange

Chapter 226 There's No Lead

Aaron looked at Grace. "Grace, Luke just called."At the mention of Luke, Grace guessed what it was about. "Is it about what happened at the fashion show?"Aaron nodded. "We found the person who damaged the clothes. He admitted to entering the backstage area with a pair of scissors and cutting the clothes. He also admitted to putting razor blades in the model's high heels."Grace was furious. "Anything else?"Aaron continued, "I investigated him. He's an orphan with no family or ties. He had received a million-dollar transfer the day before the incident, but we can't trace the origin of the transfer."And he's tight-lipped. He's only admitted to his actions and won't reveal who instructed him to do them."Upon hearing this, Grace roughly understood the situation. "So there's no other information available?"Aaron hummed."The other party is obviously hiding in the shadows as they target you. It's hard to guard against. Think carefully. Have you offended anyone recently?"Grace

Chapter 227 Ridiculed

Aaron only let Grace leave Frenda after she agreed to his condition. Once Grace reached Pamore, the first thing she did was visit Alan. In a professor's office at Pamore University, Alan was with several students, studying Grace's work from the fashion show."Professor Morris, the success of this fashion show is closely related to the design of the centerpiece," one of Alan's students, Ashton Weaver, said.Alan agreed to Ashton's comment."Yes, the design this time really stood out. Our university has received invitations from several large foreign shows.""Really? Professor, does that mean we can get a chance to go abroad to watch the show?" Another student's eyes lit up."Of course! But this opportunity wasn't easy to come by. Before this, the international fashion world was very dismissive of our work. They even belittled us, saying that we couldn't design clothes that would be loved in global markets. Now we've finally shown our strength.""This is truly inspiring."The gr

Chapter 228 Becoming Alan's Student

"Tyson, what are you talking about? Ms. Lewis won the chief designer position based on her abilities. Now that the fashion show is over and the response is good, it's evidence of her capabilities. What nonsense are you spouting here?"Tyson was dismissive. It was almost as if he had the word "disdain" written on his face."Haha, that's it? Anyone could have done that. It doesn't necessarily have to be her.""Tyson, that's enough!"Ashton stepped forward to stop Tyson, but the latter remained unmoved. "Grace, do you dare say you didn't use your connections for this?"When this was asked, Grace's face showed no change in expression.She raised her eyes and looked at Tyson. She couldn't recall meeting him, so she didn't understand where his hostility came from.But there was one thing she had to make clear."I obtained the chief designer position this time fair and square without any of your so-called dirty tricks."Hearing that, Tyson burst into laughter. "Who would believe you?

Chapter 229 Juicy Gossip

Grace smiled. "You're my teacher now, Professor Morris. Whatever you say goes."Hence, everyone helped with the preparations, and soon, someone brought a microphone to Grace.Grace took it and walked up to Alan's. After a small bow, she announced, "I hereby declare myself as Professor Morris' last student. With the change of status, I'll address him as Mr. Morris from now on."Smiling, Alan pulled out a little gift from his pocket and handed it to her. "Here, Grace.""Thank you, Mr. Morris."After the announcement was made, Alan was so delighted that he wanted to show off Grace to everyone.He didn't stay idle. He took his phone out and sent messages to several experts in the industry. It was as though he was announcing the news to the world.…After Grace left Pamore University, she saw a slender figure standing not far away.Before she could get closer, Timothy spotted her and walked toward her quickly. "Milady! You're back."Grace was surprised to see him. "Why are you her

Chapter 230 Greetings With Hidden Intentions

"Wait, two guys vying for one girl? Do you remember Mr. Fulton, who was all chummy with Ms. Lewis before? Word on the street is that Mr. Fulton is now Mrs. Lewis' go-to guy.""Oh my, this is too melodramatic!”Before they could dive deeper into the conversation, Benjamin stood up from the nearby couch, with Larry trailing him like a shadow."Mr. Hawkins, it's just some people spinning tales. Don't let it get to you."Benjamin stayed silent.His eyes were dark, and his expression was beyond frosty. It was as if he had just stepped out of a freezer.The two of them walked to the elevator—one in the lead, the other following."Milady, there's still plenty of potential in the Dunhill market. I'm considering making it the main focus for the next three years.""Your plan sounds solid. If we make it big in Dunhill, our profits could skyrocket.""Milady, you can count on me for this. I won't disappoint you ... Crude oil is where our future's at ..."As Timothy and Grace chatted, they
