Chapter 461 Bet on It

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

Chapter 462 Grandma's Gift

"Grace, you're here!" Grace looked at Elizabeth, who was standing outside with an excited look on her face, and chose to ignore the familiar silhouette behind her. She opened the door and got out with a smile. "Grandma!"Elizabeth was overjoyed. She went forward and gripped Grace's arm. "You're finally here after so long!"She pulled Gracie into the house as they chatted, completely ignoring Benjamin, who had just parked his car in front of the house. Benjamin had seen the other car parked in the yard from afar. He thought that he had gotten it wrong at first, until Grace got out of the car and Elizabeth came forward to welcome her. A small smile appeared on his face. As Benjamin got out of the car, a housekeeper came over. "Mr. Hawkins, you're back."Benjamin replied affirmatively. He had the housekeeper carry the things he had bought into the house before walking in the door. In the living room, Elizabeth asked Grace questions in concern. The two women seemed to be ch

Chapter 463 Somewhat Excessive

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

Chapter 464 Shoo Him Out

Benjamin tailed Grace's car, keeping a distance between them all the while, until he saw Grace drive safely into Lewis Manor. Only then did he park his car by the curb. From a distance, he could see someone waiting for Grace in the manor. He couldn't see the person's face clearly, but he was sure that it was a man. Was Grace in a new relationship now? Were they living together? Was the man Xander Fulton? Benjamin's heart felt empty, as if something had been taken from him. Even his vision started to blur. He gripped the steering wheel tightly. He didn't understand why he had followed Grace here, and he found it difficult to accept what he was currently witnessing. In the manor, Caleb glanced at the car parked not far away before asking Grace teasingly, "Grace, why didn't you invite that Fulton guy in for a visit?"Grace walked forward and grabbed his arm. "Since when did you become such a gossip, Caleb?"Caleb was just curious. "Did you guys have a fight?""No!""Why were

Chapter 465 Something's Wrong With the Jewelry

"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

Chapter 466 It's Just 30 Million Dollars

"Don't do it, Ms. Green."The assistant tried to talk Kayla out of it. But Kayla ignored her and threw the necklace on the floor. "I don't ever want to see items like this ever again."Everyone in the room looked at each other in bewilderment. They were all at a loss for words. The assistant quickly crouched down and picked up the necklace.With her head bowed, she said respectfully, "Ms. Green, if you don't like this necklace, I'll request a new one from the company. But you can't wear the one you're wearing now in public."Kayla's expression darkened. With a scowl on her face, she crossed her arms and said haughtily, "What if I insist on wearing it?"The assistant pursed her lips and said weakly, "I'm afraid you can't do that, Ms. Green.""You dare defy me? Do you know what happens to people who do that?"With her head held high, Kayla said in a cold and condescending tone, "Talk back to me again, and I'll have you fired from your position."As soon as she said that, a wo

Chapter 467 Bleeding Wound

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

Chapter 468 Framing Lydia

Kayla was stunned. She looked at Lydia in disbelief. "How dare you slap me?"The onlookers were shocked, too. It had happened too quickly, and no one had been able to react in time. "Yeah, so what? You're a little slow, aren't you?""You!" Before Kayla could say anything else, someone in the crowd shouted, "Mr. Lewis!" Kayla's expression changed when she heard that. She raised her head and saw Caleb a short distance away, leaning on the door frame. He had a calm expression on his face. No one could tell what he was really thinking. Kayla felt her heart skip a beat. She asked cautiously, "Hi, Caleb. When … When did you get here?"Lydia felt a chill go down her spine when she heard someone calling out to "Mr. Lewis". Once Kayla addressed Caleb, Lydia immediately understood who the man was. Had he seen everything? He must be furious that she had slapped Kayla, right?Lydia lowered her head. She didn't want to embarrass herself in front of him. She walked away without sayi

Chapter 469 Does Your Hand Hurt

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

Chapter 470 Get Justice for Me

Tears began streaming down Kayla's face. She had gentle and feminine features, so her crying face looked very pitiable. "It's fine. Just tell me what's troubling you." Grace comforted her.Kayla started crying even harder. The people around them started to stare at them. Grace instinctively frowned. Kayla stopped crying after a long while. Then, she said, "Ms. Lewis, VERE Jewelry terminated their sponsorship contract with me. Also, Ms. York slapped me. This mark on my face is her doing."Grace's expression turned grave when she heard that. She started to think about what Kayla said.She had known Lydia for many years. Lydia was someone who tried her best in life and work. She had gotten to where she was by creating countless designs all by herself. Besides, Grace knew how Lydia treated other people. She would never be the instigator of an incident. Of that, Grace was very sure. So she asked calmly, "It's okay. Tell me slowly. What happened?"Kayla heard that and thought Gra
