Xander wasn't sure if he was saying it for Grace to hear or for himself. But he was sure that he would help her achieve whatever she wanted."You think so? Let's hope what you said will come true.""It's late. Let's go to the cafeteria together for dinner.""Okay, I want meatballs, grilled pork, mushroom soup ..."…That night, Grace returned home. As she was about to go upstairs, she heard a loud noise coming from the study. Her steps halted.Out of curiosity, she cautiously approached the study and gently pushed the door open, peering through the crack.She saw Harold sitting in a chair, looking utterly dejected.The butler tried to console him. "Mr. Lewis Senior, you need to take care of your body."Harold covered his face, sobbing quietly.The butler sighed. "Mr. Aaron is still young and has a strong body. He'll get through this for sure."Harold sighed. "Among all my grandchildren, he has been the smartest and most sensible since he was a child. As the eldest grandson,

Grace sighed helplessly as she watched Victor and Caleb bickering endlessly. She put her arms around both of them."Okay, Victor, Caleb, I know you both are the best. In my heart, you're all my most important family.""That's about right.""Oh, right, Xander, what about your gift?" Victor threw the question to Xander. Even Grace's eyes held a hint of expectation as she looked at him."Xander, did you prepare a gift for me too? What is it?""Let me tell you, Gracie, Xander has put in a lot of effort into preparing your graduation gift. He started preparing it half a year ago," Victor hurriedly added.On the side, Caleb immediately caught on. After so many years of being together, he was no longer the naïve youth he had once been.He had long caught Xander's feelings for Grace."Um, Gracie, I suddenly remembered that there are some things I need to deal with. You guys chat. We'll leave first.""Yeah, you chat. We'll leave first." Saying that, Victor and Caleb dragged Aaron away,

As he listened to Grace's rambling, Xander couldn't hold back any longer. He grabbed her hand tightly.Surprised by his sudden move, Grace hurriedly asked, "What's wrong, Xander?"Xander stared at her face, struggling internally. In the end, he just said, "Maybe he was delayed by something."This thought coincided with Grace's, and she instantly felt delighted."You think so too, right? I knew it. He must not have intentionally stood me up. But where did he go? I think he'll come to find me and explain after he finishes his business."Xander hummed in agreement and turned his head to look into the distance. He didn't want to reveal his emotions in front of her.He then casually said, "Gracie, I finally made the trip here, and all you talk about is another man. It's not very welcoming, is it?"Only then did Grace realize that. She naturally hooked an arm around his. "I'm sorry, Xander. I didn't expect you to come here. I'm really happy."There are many delicious foods and fun pl

"Gracie, when you return to Frenda, there's something important I want to tell you."Grace halted her movements, and her heart quickened its pace.She raised her gaze, staring at Xander blankly.After summoning some courage, she asked the question that had been on her mind. "Xander, is there something you've wanted to tell me but haven't had the chance to?"Xander was confused.Time seemed to freeze as their eyes met at this moment.Grace felt her heart pounding, as if it were about to burst out of her chest.Xander moved his lips, about to say something, when, unexpectedly, a ringtone interrupted him.Grace snapped back to reality, quickly averting her gaze. She looked at the blinking screen of her phone and said in a fluster, "Uh ... I-I need to take this call."She stood up, holding her phone, and briskly left the dining room. Once at the corner, she leaned against the wall and vigorously patted her chest. "Grace, oh Grace, why are you so nervous?"Annoyed with herself, sh

"I know that many people want to see me make a fool of myself. But the reason I reached where I am today isn't solely due to this pretty face of mine."Jessica raised her gaze slightly, speaking with a hint of arrogance."Without some real ability, I won't be able to establish myself in this circle. Besides, even if I fall, don't I have to climb to a high place first?"Instead of being concerned about me, why not focus on yourself, Ms. Lewis? I heard you made a bet with your board of directors."Grace raised an eyebrow, unbothered. "You're indeed well-informed, Ms. Landon. That's true."Jessica nodded and became even more triumphant."I initially thought it was just a rumor, but it turns out it's true. I heard the deadline for the bet is approaching, and you don't seem to have much chance of winning."Will the daughter of the world's richest family end up being kicked out of her own company?"Jessica covered her mouth and chuckled. "That would be quite embarrassing."With thes
