Chapter 261 Common Sense

Grace and Timothy exchanged glances, both of them thinking the same thing. When Samuel saw this, he rushed out without hesitating. He grabbed Zane and pushed him in front of Grace. "You asshole, say it! Was it you? How could you frame Mr. Donegan for corruption and accepting bribes? You have some nerve!"Zane panicked. He crawled in front of Grace and begged for mercy. "Ms. Lewis, please have mercy on me! I lost my senses and made a mistake. I didn't do it on purpose!"Grace looked down at him, completely unmoved. Zane turned to beg Timothy, who was beside her. "Mr. Donegan, I beg you, please let me go … I will never do it again."Timothy squatted down slowly, his lips curving in a lethal smile. "It's not impossible to have mercy on you, but you must tell me who ordered you to do this."Zane looked up timidly at Samuel, who was standing beside them, and immediately looked down again. He took all the blame upon himself. "No one ordered me to do it. I was jealous of Mr.

Chapter 262 Best Partner

For the first time, Timothy felt that being part of the Donegan family was a good thing."Our company is taking a certain amount of risk by taking on the Dunhill project alone, so I suggest finding a company whose capability is on par with ours to collaborate with. "That way, we can greatly minimize our risk coefficient."When speaking about work, there was no sign of flippancy on Timothy's face at all. He continued, "Among the leading corporations in Pamore, apart from Hawkins Group, Futurelink Corporation has the strongest finances. "If we join forces, it will definitely maximize the results."Grace looked surprised. "Are you talking about collaborating with Futurelink Corporation?"Timothy assented, "Futurelink Corporation is the best choice. Of course …"Timothy paused for a moment and looked up at Grace. "There is another choice, which is Hawkins Group.""Benjamin?" Grace blurted out, then shook her head gently. She immediately vetoed it and said, "We won't consider

Chapter 263 I Got Out

"Mr. Ziegler, what's on the work schedule for today?"Luke was half a step behind Grace as he reported her schedule. "There's an international video conference at 10:00 am. At 2:00 pm, you have an appointment with Mr. Barnes to discuss the project, and tonight at 7:00 pm, there's Neo Group's chairman and his wife's anniversary party—""Okay, I've got it."As soon as she finished, Grace's phone rang from her pocket. "Hello, babe. Are you busy?"Emily's voice traveled from the other end of the line. "The client I told you about last time came to the boutique today. It's the one who spent three million dollars to design a dress."The client asked for you specifically. Do you think you would have some time to come over?"Grace pushed the door open to her office and walked in. "When?""I've already asked her. Any time before 12:00 pm will be fine.""Alright, I've got it."Emily hung up and took a cup of coffee over to the client. "Ms. Gold, please wait a moment. Our designer will

Chapter 264 No Entry for Yvonne and Dogs

"Did you come out to cause trouble again?" Grace said scornfully.Yvonne's expression changed, but she suppressed her rage and smiled instead. "Do you know why I managed to get out?"Benjamin paid a huge amount of bail! Do you get it, Grace? There's only ever been one person in his heart, and that's me. You're just the ex-wife that he looked down on."When Grace heard this, she betrayed no emotion and crossed her arms expressionlessly. "Then stay together forever. Don't come out and hurt others.""You!" Yvonne gritted her teeth and glared venomously at Grace. "I'm telling you, Grace, I'll make you go through everything that I had to experience.""If you want to go back to prison and stay there, then go ahead and try!"Grace's voice was intimidating. It felt like a physical blow to Yvonne, who had just gotten out of prison. Yvonne shuddered. She never wanted to step foot in prison again. "Just you wait." Yvonne spat vehemently. But just as she had finished speaking, the wo

Chapter 265 A Familiar Sight

"You were the one who designed the main outfit for the Pamore fashion show, right? It was excellent. I heard many stories about you in Palisia."As she spoke, she held out her hand to Grace. "Hello, I'm Helena Gold.""Nice to meet you, Ms. Gold. Thank you for sticking up for me just now. If you come to our shop to choose clothes in the future, I'll give you a 20% discount every time."Helena smiled and said teasingly, "I just spoke according to my conscience, but it looks like I gained some benefits.""Are you here to commission a custom-made haute couture gown?" Grace asked. There was a hint of a smile in Helena's eyes, and she said, "I want a haute couture gown with a floral theme for an event. The first person I thought of was you. How about it? Do you have time to customize it for me?""Of course. Let me take your measurements right now." Grace took Helena's measurements, and the two of them had a delightful conversation. Before she left, Helena gave Grace a business card.

Chapter 266 I'm Back

Benjamin kept staring in the direction where Grace had walked off. Then, he asked, "Yvonne, you did this on purpose, didn't you? You knew that Grace would be here, so you called me over here to act out this scene?""Benjamin, you've misunderstood me!""Fine. You and I know very clearly what kind of character you have! I didn't bail you out so that you could come here and be arrogant and out of control."I'm warning you—stay far away from Grace. If not, I'll personally send you back to jail again."Silence ensued after his threat.Yvonne was furious and wanted to pull on Benjamin's arm, but he cast her off. "Enough. Stop faking it here. I've given you the card. Just buy what you want to get, and next time, don't call me."After he had said his piece, Benjamin ignored Yvonne's stricken expression and left, leaving her only with the view of his retreating figure. In the car, he took out his phone and made a call. "I told you to watch Yvonne. What developments have there been?"

Chapter 267 The Crazy Dog Is Out

Xander's expression was calm as he handed the menu over. "That's it! We'll order again if needed."When the waiter had left, Grace finally put down her glass and said, "Xander, how did you know that I don't eat onions or mushrooms?"Even Benjamin, who had been married to her for three years, knew nothing about this. How did Xander know her so well? Xander looked intensely at her and finally said, "Your older brother told me.""Aaron?"Xander nodded, but didn't say that he knew about her preferences because of how closely he had observed her. Grace didn't doubt him. "Grace, is that really you?" A sudden voice made Grace raise her eyebrows. The next second, Ava had already appeared in front of her. Her gossipy eyes looked greedily at Grace and Xander with no regard for anything else. As Benjamin's aunt, she had never liked Grace. She had just never expected Grace to get together with such an impressive man after leaving the Hawkins family. "What kind of relationship do

Chapter 268 First Meeting

After the previous incident, Linda had been demoted. While her original position was assistant to the president, she was now manager of the sales department. Linda was very unhappy about this. She had personally gone to see Xander several times, but he had rejected her heartlessly each time. After thinking long and hard, Linda had realized that only one person could influence Xander's thoughts.That person was Grace. "Mr. Fulton." Linda inclined her head slightly to greet Xander. Then, she looked at Grace, maintaining a respectful attitude. "Ms. Lewis."Grace smiled back at her in reply before walking into Xander's office. Linda followed her with a pile of documents in her arms. "Mr. Fulton, here are some documents from the sales department that need your signature."Xander sat down with a pen and signed his name with a flourish. While Xander had been away from the office, a pile of work had accumulated on his desk, waiting to be taken care of. Grace sat on the couch and

Chapter 269 Be My Husband

Little Xander had felt warm and fuzzy at the sound of her calling his name. He had taken the job of leading her seriously and had taken her riding in the garden. Little Grace's eyes had flickered from side to side as she asked a series of questions. "Xander, why doesn't the pony talk?""Why is the sky blue?""Why do birds fly?""Why are there boys and girls?"Little Grace had had an unending supply of questions, but little Xander hadn't been impatient at all. He had answered every question for her patiently. "Wow, Xander, you're so great! You know everything!"Little Grace had looked at him with adoration, as if there were pink stars shooting out of her eyes. Little Xander had felt extremely satisfied by that.This little sister was so adorable!"Gracie, could you just be my little sister?"Little Grace had shaken her head at that. "No!" As she spoke, she began counting on her fingers very seriously. "I have three brothers at home … and if I add you, I'll have four olde

Chapter 270 Unrequited Love

The sound of a knock interrupted Xander's thoughts.He snapped out of his thoughts, and only then did he realize he had lost his composure.Seeing Grace peacefully asleep, Xander didn't disturb her. Instead, he walked to the door and stopped the group of people who had come to report to him. "Let's go and handle this in the conference room."The group exchanged glances in confusion, not understanding why the location had been changed at the last minute. Nevertheless, they obediently went to the conference room.Grace was sleeping soundly. When she woke up, the spacious office was empty. As she got up, the thin blanket on her slid off and fell to the floor.She quickly picked it up. The next moment, the door to the office was pushed open. Xander walked in, and their eyes met. In a low and melodious voice, he said, "You're awake."Grace looked a bit awkward. "Did I sleep for a long time?""Well, not too long."Xander walked up to her with a faint smile. "Do you want to walk a
