Only after Jessica had left did Samuel wave at the assistant standing not far away."Anything you need me to help with, Director Walker?"Samuel asked, "How much in current assets do I have?""At the moment, you have about a hundred million dollars in current assets. That, together with your real estate assets and your stocks in Amirate Corporation, are worth about 50 million dollars."Samuel considered it seriously. Should he place a bet on this game of chess?If he were to do it, he would have to bet everything he owned on it. If he did not, he would miss out on such a good opportunity, and he didn't want that. "Do you think the real estate market will continue to perform as well as it is now?"The assistant said without hesitation, "Why would you need to worry about the future of the real estate market, Director Walker? Real estate has always been and will always be a profit-earning business that will never incur losses."Samuel nodded in agreement. Speaking from years of

Elizabeth nodded happily. She pulled Grace down to sit on the couch. "Wait here for me. I'm going to grab something."Grace was confused. "What is it? I can get it for you.""It's fine. I can do it myself."Elizabeth entered a small side room by her bedroom and came out holding a velvet box. "I have nothing much to give you, Gracie, but here is some jewelry from when I married my husband." Elizabeth opened the velvet box to reveal a diamond necklace. She motioned for Grace to bend down and put the necklace on for her. "This is my gift for you.""Grandma, this is too valuable." Grace refused to take it. Yet Elizabeth insisted on clasping the necklace around Grace's neck. "Don't think of it as something valuable. This is a token of my affection for you. No matter what, you'll always be like a granddaughter to me. It doesn't matter that we aren't related by blood.""Grandma!""It looks good on you!" Elizabeth smiled. "I don't know which lucky man will get to marry you. N

"His objective is unclear as of now. Not only did he take out loans from the black market, but he also mortgaged his real estate assets at the bank.""It seems like he's gunning for something big.""Ms. Lewis, is it possible that his actions are targeted at us?""Pay close attention to everything he does for now and report to me if anything happens.""Yes, Ms. Lewis." Luke had just taken two steps toward the door before Grace called after him, "By the way, is there anything on Caleb's schedule today?""Byte Technologies is hosting a large-scale outdoor event today in Times Mall at South Road. All the artists in our company will be attending it.""Oh," Grace said. So that was why she hadn't seen Caleb since the morning. "Got it. You can leave.""Sure, Ms. Lewis."After Luke left, Grace continued with her work. A while later, her personal phone rang."Grace, do you know where the event Caleb will go to is held?" Lydia sounded anxious on the other end of the phone. Grace was

Kayla was dumbfounded when she heard that. She stared at Lydia dazedly and said, "What did you say? This necklace costs 30 million dollars?"Lydia said sternly, "It's true. This necklace is an exclusive, custom-made piece by VERE Jewelry. The diamond was imported from South Lefreqa. There are no other diamonds like it. "This necklace was custom-made at the request of the chairman of Pinnacle Group. It was supposed to be his 50th-anniversary gift for his wife. "The price is fair. If you have any questions or are unwilling to pay up, we can always go through the legal procedures." Kayla became visibly upset, and her demeanor weakened considerably. She had been working in the entertainment industry for some time. She made a pretty penny, but most of the profits went to the company. The money she actually got was only a small percentage of the revenues she generated. 30 million dollars was nearly her entire net worth. But she had already said that she would pay. It would be utte

Grace felt curious when she saw his anxious expression but didn't inquire further. She pointed where Lydia had gone and said, "She just went over there. She couldn't have gone far."Caleb didn't wait around. He immediately strode in the direction Lydia had gone. He had barely walked a dozen steps before he noticed the familiar silhouette. Caleb slowly composed his emotions, but he couldn't help but pick up his pace. "Lydia!" he called out to her. Lydia froze in her tracks. The next moment, Caleb had already caught up to her. "Why are you in such a rush?"Lydia raised her head to look at him. She was very calm as she said, "Are you here to have me answer for my crimes?" Caleb raised his eyebrow in silence as he eyed her from top to toe. His gaze ultimately landed on her right hand. Lydia clenched her fists quietly when she felt his gaze. "If you're here to get even with me, I don't have anything to say. I did slap her. I was also the one who asked her for the 30 millio
