In the Lap of Luxury

Upon hearing that, Hestia asked, "Are you blaming me, Xander?"

"I didn't mean that."

"I can't help it. I hate him whenever I think about how he betrayed our marriage and had a child with another woman.

"I just hate them so much that I wish they were dead. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't even see him again."

Hestia gritted her teeth, unable to control her trembling.

Xander understood that these years of deception and compromise had been hard for Hestia. He held her hand and said wearily, "I understand. Leave it to me. I'll handle it." "I'm sorry that you can't do what you want because of me. You can't be in charge of Futurelink and can't reunite with Grace." Hestia looked at him with a sense of guilt.

She knew Xander had not had an easy time in both his career and relationship these past few years.

Raymond was right about something.

"If it's true love, we don't have to be constantly together." Getting up, Xander said, "Grace is not a petty person."

Back in the bedroom, he took a shower and video called Grace.

It was daytime in Pamore. She was in the car. "Have you had dinner?"

"Yeah, at Fulton Group." Xander scrutinized her on the phone. "Where are you going?"

"I have work outside," Grace simply replied, leaning closer to the camera. "I put on makeup today. Do I look good?"

"Very good, and you seem to be in good spirits." He smiled.

Grace acted quite normal. It seemed that she hadn't been affected by that text message. She didn't have any intention of telling Xander about it either.

"You should go to bed soon. It's getting late in Frenda. Rest well."

Unbeknownst to Xander, after the call was ended, Victor approached Grace.

In a joking tone, he said, "Why didn't you tell him that you're going back to Frenda? You've learned how to give surprises."

The vehicle was heading in the direction of the airport.

Grace scolded adorably, "Stop saying nonsense. I freed up my time to go back to visit Grandpa with you."

Victor laughed louder. "If Xander wasn't there, would you have agreed so quickly and been so willing to go back with me?"

"Okay, enough." Grace covered his mouth. "It's all your fault for coming to find me and tempting me to go back."

As it was the end of the year, most

projects were coming to an end.

Hence, Grace had wrapped heel.net

and planned to leave with

At the same time, Jake boarded a private plane at the airport.

A woman, who was seeing him off, cried miserably. "You've never been to Pamore. It'll be tough for you."

"Are you worried?" Jake smiled, wiping away her tears. "Take care of yourself. What can happen to me? I'm a man."

After comforting her, he let his assistant take her away.

The moment she turned around, Jake's smile disappeared, replaced by disgust. He made a call. "Give her some money and deal with her." After receiving confirmation, he removed the SIM card and inserted a new one.

The plane then took off.

When Jake's plane landed in

Pamore, a man in working attire was

waiting at the exit. "Mr. Jake, I'm Jon

Scott, your assistant during your

time in Pamore."

As they walked out of the VIP passage together, Jake instructed, "Help me check on someone. She's named Grace Lewis."

"Ms. Lewis from Amirate?" Jon blurted out.

"Do you know her?"

"Everyone in Pamore knows her. She's very capable, and she's accomplished several major projects."

Jake stopped in his tracks, a playful look in his eyes. "That's interesting."

He stood with his back turned and didn't notice that two young men and a woman were walking just behind him. The woman had a bright and vibrant face.

"Victor, wait for me."
