In a magnificent hotel, the amorous sounds of a man and a woman filled the air.After a passionate encounter, Yvonne leaned against the head of the bed and took a deep drag of a cigarette dangling between her fingers.The naked man beside her pulled her into his arms and spoke in a light tone."It's been a while, and your skills have clearly regressed. It seems like prison life didn't treat you well."Yvonne blew a smoke ring. "Cut the crap. I called you out for something serious."The man chuckled."Okay. Weren't we doing something serious?"Yvonne's eyes darkened as she extinguished the cigarette. "Benjamin is starting to suspect me, but he can't present any evidence at the moment."The man's large hand began to roam over her body as he said, "There's no need to worry if there's no evidence. We just need to be careful."Seriously, Yvonne swatted his hand away. "Regardless, I must become Mrs. Hawkins. Even if that fails, I want to make Grace, that bitch, try living in prison.

Vivian exchanged smiles with Grace, but her attention was on Xander."I didn't expect you to come in person this time, Mr. Fulton. Soraya Group warmly welcomes you. It must have been a long journey. Let me take you to the hotel first."Xander's expression darkened, and he curtly replied, "Thank you, Ms. Myers."Suddenly, two luxury cars stopped in front of them. Vivian gestured toward Grace."Please get in, Ms. Lewis."Grace nodded slightly. As she got into the car, Xander followed and took a seat next to her without hesitation.Then, he said to Vivian, "Ms. Myers, it's fine for Ms. Lewis and me to share a car."Vivian was annoyed.Her expression slightly changed, but she suppressed her emotions. "Sure, Mr. Fulton. I'll follow behind you."As the car door closed, the vehicle slowly pulled away.Grace pouted and said jealously, "Xander, Ms. Myers wanted to share a car with you. Aren't you afraid of hurting her pride?"Xander turned his head to look at her and reached out to r

The moment Grace realized that she and Xander were the only ones in the room, her face blushed.She didn't have to think twice to figure out that Xander must have carried her into the room."Ah, Grace! You're in deep trouble," she regretfully said, paying no attention to Xander beside her as she promptly ushered him out.Xander was bewildered, but he shook his head in resignation.When Grace finished freshening up, Xander had already left the room. She sighed deeply, then sat down at the dining table and earnestly began eating breakfast.However, halfway through her meal, the doorbell rang.Thinking it might be Xander returning, Grace got up to open the door. "Xander, didn't you take your access card?"She froze abruptly. The sight that greeted her wasn't Xander, but a surprised-looking Vivian.Pointing at Grace, Vivian seethed with anger. "You … you stayed here last night?"Grace looked innocent as she asked, "Is there a problem?"Fuming, Vivian asked, "Where's Mr. Fulton?

Grace sneered, a chilling intent filling her eyes."Even an assistant can be so arrogant. I find it hard to see Soraya Group's sincerity. But I'll kindly remind you that if you dare to act, you should be prepared to face the consequences."With that, Grace turned to leave.Gina didn't care. In her eyes, Grace was just trying to intimidate her.Having worked in the corporate world for so many years, Gina had seen it all. She didn't take Grace's words seriously.Grace left Soraya Group's office and sat back in the car. She took her phone out to play a game.Meanwhile, there was complete silence in the conference room.Frowning, Xander sat in the main position without saying a word. The entire room's mood dropped to a freezing point.Kenneth wiped the sweat from his forehead and cautiously asked, "Mr. Fulton, do you see any issues with our collaboration?"Xander didn't respond.Instead, he raised his wrist to check his watch.It had been 20 minutes. Why hadn't Grace arrived?A

After Luke and his team had left, Kenneth lost his composure and roared, "What the hell is going on? Who's the idiot that offended Ms. Lewis? Tell me!" Everyone looked at each other and held their breaths. They were facing his full fury. Vivian had never seen Kenneth so angry, and she trembled in fear. "Mr. Williams, I checked the surveillance and found out someone stopped Ms. Lewis outside the meeting room." Kenneth's secretary rushed over and reported. Kenneth's blood boiled. "Who the hell is idiotic enough to stop Ms. Lewis?" The secretary lowered her head and pointed at Gina. "Was it you?"Gina had been singled out. Someone pushed her, making her slip and fall. She ignored the pain as she crawled on the ground, begging Kenneth, "Mr. Williams, it was an accident, I thought—" Kenneth kicked her hard in the shoulder. "You thought? What did you think? Don't you know that's Ms. Lewis from Pamore? You didn't think at all! Why are you even in this company?""Mr. Willia
