NovelAppBenjamin took a deep breath and puffed out his chest.
Grace was growing more and more distant from him by the day, but it was okay.
Jessica had already been sent away, so Grace would never know that the person she had fallen in love with at first sight was actually Alexander.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAnthony finished his speech, and the prograthat the staff had prepared for the night began.
The food was served. Since Noelle was the successor to Elysium Bank and she rarely appeared in public, many people cby to toast her.
Timothy sensed that the atmosphere at their table had becrather awkward, so he tried to lighten the mood. "Milady, do you know the Iversons? They're one of the four largest families in Frenda." Grace knew about them. "We've had a few dealings in the past." "The second son of the Iversons is here in Pamore." Grace thought about it for a moment. She vaguely remembered that the nof the Iversons' second son was Joshua; he had been the one who had gone against Xander because of Fortress Club.
"What's he doing here?" Timothy ladled sfood onto Noelle's plate. "He acquired a production company. The company's market value rose sharply within a couple of days, all thanks to his trading." Joshua was being very aggressive, and his motive for coming to Pamore was unclear. It was a move that would attract a lot of attention in the capital market.
Timothy was a professional trader. He had received the news at once.
Benjamin overheard them. "I heard that he's lost quite a large chunk of the Iversons' family fortune. That's why he's not popular among the elders in his family, and other families of equal standing are unwilling to let him marry their daughters." "That may be so, but he does have talent. He's just overconfident, which is why he gets trapped. Do you know who the person was who ended up with half the Iversons' family fortune?" Benjamin mulled over it. "It's a mystery. He doesn't seem to have a name." "I know." Timothy looked mysterious. "His surnis Fulton." The two of them simultaneously looked at Grace, who looked confused. She was quick to react and said, "You're talking about Xander." "Milady, I've investigated this. Futurelink Corporation was established in Pamore with that money. Didn't you know?" Xander had never mentioned it, but it didn't surprise Grace. She was confused. "The stock market always has its ups and downs, and bottom fishing is normal. Xander does have that ability." "Perhaps so, but according to my information, this incident seems to be linked to insider trading. After all, Xander was just starting out at the time. How could he have had such a huge sum of money?" Xander had only been 18 years old at the time. Timothy was known as a genius in the industry, and even he wouldn't have been able to pull that off.
He suspected Xander.
Grace laughed. "It's impossible. He wouldn't be able to do something like that." Benjamin's eyes narrowed. He hadn't expected her to trust Xander so much.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmTimothy clicked his tongue. "You didn't even know about this. How are you so sure that he didn't do it? Milady, I'm not trying to cbetween you two. I just found out about it too, and I'm just giving you a heads up. Don't get yourself mixed up in this." Of course, Timothy was also trying to get Benjamin another chance.
Grace didn't like listening to this. She said carelessly, "You've misunderstood." Then, she got up and headed to the restroom.
She had her own opinions on the incident, and she decided to ask Xander about it.
"Grace!" Benjamin called out to her. He caught up to her quickly as she was walking down the corridor.
She stopped and stood still. "What is it?" Her cold, distant eyes stung Benjamin. "What Timothy said makes sense. If Xander is suspected of insider trading, you'll be affected as well, You're such a rational, person. You should know what this means." "I told you. He wouldn't do that." Benjamin grabbed her arm, incensed by how biased she was. "How do you know he wouldn't? This isn't the only thing he's hidden from you!" Grace stared at him, looking unusually calm. "If I shouldn't trust him, am I supposed to trust you?" "What?" Benjamin was flabbergasted.
"You know very well what you've lied toabout."
