At this moment, Larry hurried over from the car, attempting to pull Shawn away.Shawn's presence was overpowering. "Try touching me."Larry's hand froze in midair. His expression showed his anxiousness. "No matter what, you're the eldest son of the Hawkins family and Mr. Benjamin's brother. You shouldn't have pushed things to this point. Hawkins Group is going to be doomed, and so is the Hawkins family."Larry was wrong. He thought saying these words would sway Shawn, but the latter's expression remained cold and unmoved.Larry added urgently, "If the Hawkins family falls, Mrs. Hawkins Senior will be left alone in her final moments. Is that what you want to see?"That hit the mark.Shawn smirked, showing a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth. He quickly stood up."Threatening me with Grandma won't end well for you, and I won't let you succeed."Benjamin also sat up from the ground, resting his hands on his knees. He chuckled. "I'm just curious. Are your feelings for Gra

"Deceased?" Shawn couldn't help but clench his fists.He had known that Grace was secretly investigating the Hawkins family, but he hadn't expected her to be so brave as to risk herself to get into Hawkins Manor. He didn't know her reasons for insisting on digging into these matters.They were secrets, but sitting beside him now, Grace inexplicably felt like she could confide in him."Did you know that I was Benjamin's ex-wife?""I did. You're all public figures. I've heard about it."Grace suddenly found that explaining everything clearly was quite difficult, so she chose her words carefully. "I have a friend... also related to the Hawkins family. He passed away because of Benjamin and his mom. I want to seek justice for him."Grace often looked directly into the eyes of the person she was talking to, speaking with a genuine tone that made her appear sincere.At her words, Shawn's eyes stung slightly. He raised his eyebrows to mask the changes in his expression. "Was that f

At the same time, the world outside the farm had taken a turn.Xander was taken away by Securities and Exchange Commission officials while he was in a meeting at Futurelink. He was seated at the head of the table in a white shirt, blending the essence of manhood and youth perfectly.The secretary couldn't stop the officials. "Mr. Fulton's meeting isn't over yet."The group in uniforms barged in, showing their credentials. "Sorry, Mr. Fulton, but you need to come with us."Xander glanced at them briefly and remained calm. "Give me five minutes to conclude the meeting."He was cool and collected, without a hint of panic, exuding the demeanor of a seasoned leader.It wasn't a difficult request to meet, so the leader of the group nodded and stepped aside.Xander said five minutes, and he meant exactly that. He efficiently planned Futurelink's tasks for the next few days, even considering the PR department. "Keep public opinion to a minimum. Don't let it affect the stock price."A

The spring night wasn't cold anymore, yet Shawn felt waves of chill in the room."If Xander was so good to you, why did you end up falling for Benjamin?"In Grace's mind, it wasn't Benjamin she was thinking of, but Alexander. She smiled wryly. "I was young. Maybe I mistook a fleeting flutter for genuine affection."Only now did she know who truly loved her and made her feel a sense of belonging.Smiling, Shawn nodded. "Don't miss this chance. Mr. Fulton cares a lot about you.""He's waited for me for many years," Grace said casually. Realizing it was too late to stay, she bid him farewell and left the room.As the door closed, the sound of a man leaning heavily against the door rang out. Walking halfway, Grace turned around in surprise, but the sound had disappeared.She thought she was hearing things.…Hazel had said that she needed Grace to take care of her, but there wasn't much for the latter to do. Grace's day was boring. She spent most of her time in the yard.Zain was

"Now that something has happened to Xander, why aren't you thinking of a way to help him? Will accusing him of these crimes be helpful?"Hestia flung the photos away. Her gaze swept over to Jake. "Not to mention the fact that we have no idea whether this is true or not. In order to settle this incident, we need to get him out.""Fulton Group's stock value is decreasing rapidly. How can I think of a way to get him out? I wouldn't be able to do it even if I had some kind of supernatural ability!"When it came to Fulton Group, which he treasured very much, Raymond found it hard to stay calm. "Let him reap what he sowed!"If it had just been the stock trading that had taken place years ago, everything would have been fine. But now, Xander's actions were threatening Fulton Group. That was crossing the line for Raymond. Hestia was so angry that her hands were trembling. This wasn't how Raymond had reacted when Jake had gotten into trouble."Even if Xander really was the one who did al
