Chapter 781 Creating Opportunities for Him
Dexter felt angry at that moment. So many pieces of information pointed to Xander being suspected of insider trading, yet he casually denied it as if he were a bystander."Do you think we don't have recordings of your conversation with Logan?" Dexter urged, "Confess now for a different outcome than if you confess with evidence. Your mother is working hard outside. Think about that.""It's indeed a big problem. Allow me to think about it." Xander casually picked up the cigarette box on the table, took out a cigarette, and smiled. "Could I borrow a lighter?"Dexter stared at him. Eventually, he found a lighter, lighting the cigarette in Xander's mouth. The flame flickered, and faint traces of the youthful spirit could be seen on Xander's face.…The racetrack at Frenda was the largest in the city. Two magnificent horses raced on the track, ridden by men exuding class and who secretly competed with each other."Which one is Mr. Kane?" Grace asked Logan's secretary."The one on the

Chapter 782 Obtaining Evidence
Before Grace arrived, Christian had the upper hand. But now, Logan had gained the key to victory. "Then I'll reconsider whether or not to cooperate with your hospital," Logan said."Mr. Kane, you can't do this!" Christian exclaimed."Let's discuss it next time. I'll have my secretary escort you out." Logan signaled to his secretary, who immediately stepped forward, gesturing to escort Christian out.He had no choice but to leave while filled with resentment and frustration.Grace withdrew her gaze, saying flatteringly, "Mr. Kane is wise. This way, Christian will be the anxious one, and negotiating the price will be much simpler now."Logan looked appreciatively at her. He took off his gloves and tossed them aside, "Ms. Lewis, it's rare for you to come to see me, and as soon as you do, it's to help. What do you need?""There is something."…Back at Pamore's Securities and Exchange Commission, the discussion was still ongoing."I'll say it again. I'm not involved in insider tra

Chapter 783 Suspected Tax Evasion
"Where's your store manager?" Hazel hurried to Blossoms Teahouse, where Spencer was tidying up the tables."Mr. Griffin isn't here," Spencer replied after some thought. "Do you need to see him?""When will he be back?""I'm not sure. He hasn't been here for the past few days. If it's urgent, you can tell me, and I'll pass on the message," Spencer said.Hazel felt uneasy, having a somewhat ominous feeling. "Did he tell you where he went?"Shawn would usually inform Spencer when he traveled, but this time, he hadn't mentioned anything.…Late at night, the airport terminal was still bustling with people.Grace got off the plane and headed straight for the VIP lane. She had no luggage, only a bag containing important documents. She walked quickly, eager to get to the Securities and Exchange Commission to help Xander clear his name.When Logan handed her the video, he mentioned, "After all this trouble, is Xander's matter resolved?""What trouble?" Grace asked."Since it's resol

Chapter 784 Betrayal of Promises
But why would she still see him here? Suddenly, Grace realized everything. She stared at the slightly haggard face of Benjamin and mouthed the word "despicable".He naturally understood what she meant and responded with a depraved and self-deprecating smile.Benjamin would rather get involved himself and drag her down with him than let her bail out Xander.The interrogation room was uncomfortable. A bright light shone from above, and the room was small. Grace sat in her seat, looking at the two staff members in front of her."During my time at the Hawkins Group, I did handle the flow of funds and taxes, but I never engaged in tax evasion. I don't understand why you are investigating me.""Ms. Lewis, please take a look at these documents." The other party handed her a stack of papers, which prominently displayed accounting books with her signature and seal.Grace quickly flipped through the familiar numbers, and indeed, at the bottom was her signature."No… Although it's been a l

Chapter 785 Identity
The Securities and Exchange Commission started work at 8:00 am. Hazel managed to secure a visiting time, but by then it was already 10:00 am."What did you say?" Xander's eyes opened wide. His imposing demeanor was fully unleashed, and his anger showed through his pale complexion."Ms. Lewis wanted to rescue you. She flew straight to Frenda to obtain evidence. But it seems that Benjamin got wind of it. She was arrested by the tax authorities as soon as she arrived at the airport," Hazel quickly explained.The term "arrested" was not a good one, and hearing it pained Xander.Grace was pampered and had never suffered such hardship."Jake is reaping the benefits and will definitely find her. She must be aware of the issues with Aether Group's project. Plus, she hasn't seen me, so she might harbor some resentment toward me. Why would she still go all out to rescue me?"Xander got up and walked to the window. His worry was spurred on by the cold air. In this situation, not rescuing he

Chapter 786 He Also Participated
Once the arrow is released, it's almost certain to hit the target. As soon as the morning came, news of Grace's investigation spread.Howard had said a lot, but Shawn still maintained the same attitude. This further infuriated Howard. "You still want to succeed? Shawn, I'll say it again. You're not allowed to get involved in this matter!""I'm already involved. With Hawkins Group under investigation, can I really stand by and do nothing as a member of the Hawkins family?""What do you mean?" Howard stepped forward. "Your current identity is Shawn. Why can't you stay out of it? What do you want to do? Give Benjamin a helping hand?"Shawn slightly turned his head and clenched his fist. After a while, he whispered, "Shouldn't I?"Howard couldn't bear it anymore after seeing him this way. "Back when you failed in your mission, there was indeed an undercover agent in the team, but that person has already been dismissed. It might not have been Benjamin's doing…""Howard," Shawn spoke u

Chapter 787 Reviewing Evidence Takes Time
As soon as Dexter arrived, Xander immediately began to explain the ins and outs of the behind-the-scenes transactions. He had also asked Hazel to supplement the evidence, detailing every single thing.Three hours later, Dexter looked at the densely packed records beside him. These things could completely clear his suspicion.He glanced at the man in front of him and asked, "Mr. Fulton, I'm curious. What made you suddenly willing to speak up?"Xander's eyebrows furrowed, his gaze sharp. "The earlier I speak up, the sooner I can resolve Mr. Hamilton's concerns. It seems you're not satisfied with that.""There's a cause and effect in everything. I don't think the evidence that came to us on a silver platter is something to be proud of." Dexter was unsatisfied that it was Xander who voluntarily confessed and not the result of a trial."There are rumors that Amirate's executive, Grace, was taken away for investigation due to tax issues from her former employer. And since she's Mr. Fult

Chapter 788 Sending Her Food
"I won't say anything with the surveillance watching us. I'm just delivering food," Shawn firmly stated as he held a food container.Since they had already exchanged pleasantries, the staff member felt helpless. The staff member took a deep breath. "Fine. Half an hour."The floor Grace was on were all interrogation rooms. It was soundproofed to the extreme and was so quiet that only dust floated in the air.The staff member opened the door. Upon seeing Grace, Shawn immediately frowned, feeling a slight stuffiness in his chest.In the square room, her petite body was curled up in the chair. Perhaps she was tired, as she slept with her head on the table. Her ears were red from being pressed against the table, and she was devoid of the decisive attitude one would expect from a business setting.She looked more like a little girl.The noise startled Grace, and she reflexively sat up, rubbing her eyes. "Another interrogation?"Shawn turned his head, his eyes slightly red.Grace was

Chapter 789 The Bad Guy Visits
"Do you trust me?"Shawn raised the fork, offering it to her seriously.Grace paused, assessing him under the bright light bulb. "If it's Mr. Griffin, no. But if it's Shawn, maybe I can trust you a bit. Is that so?"It was a probing question, and Shawn's fingertips trembled slightly. At that moment, he really wanted to tell her he was Alexander."Yes.""Then I'll trust you." Grace took the fork from his hand but didn't eat the mouthful he offered.Shawn self-mockingly smirked and was about to bid farewell when a voice suddenly came from the doorway. "Sister-in-law."It was a clear, slightly provocative male voice. Grace looked up to see Jake leaning lazily against the door, holding a food container."How did you get here?" She was more surprised he called her sister-in-law. He had never called her that before."If I didn't come, how could I witness such an exciting scene?"Jake chuckled disdainfully, walking straight over and placing the food container on the table. As he reach

Chapter 790 Making a Bet
"Did I ask you to come?" Grace snapped.The chain on her coat was sharp, and it hit Jake's cheek, causing him to wince as blood immediately flowed.Grace felt her heart sink as she realized she had gone too far. She immediately stopped, "You…"Jake wiped away the blood with his hand, his gaze turning cold as he looked down at her. "I have trouble getting in here, but he can just come in like that? Grace, sometimes you're really brainless."Jake despised women who lacked intelligence the most, but now that he had to stay with her, he felt annoyed.Grace was well aware of what he was implying, but she didn't want to expose Shawn and subconsciously avoided delving deeper. She felt like it was a huge vortex, and once she stepped in, there would be no turning back."I know what's going on. I don't need you to tell me." Grace's attitude also turned cold, taking out a tissue and handing it to him. "Wipe it off."Jake didn't take it. "The bad guy visits me with no good intentions."Jus
