His breath was heavy against her neck, and he sounded like he was in pain. "After that, I learned to be calm and to endure. My mom told me that Jake's existence would influence my entire life. She wanted me to take down Fulton Group.
"'She was capable herself, and she believed in me too. But she wouldn't allow Fulton Group to fall into Jake's hands, so I'had to fight for it." Grace could understand Hestia. How could such a proud woman allow herself to be outdone by Priscilla—a mistress? Her heart clenched, and she instinctively held Xander tighter. "It must have been very difficult for you."

When Xander was assertive, he wouldn't show any gentleness. As his hand landed on her fair and delicate thigh, he traced upward along her dress, teasing her.
Grace couldn't resist. She tilted her head and endured it.

Grace glanced sideways and saw that the sky was lit up in various colors, illuminating the entire city.
"It's midnight." Xander smiled. "Happy New Year, Grace. It's our : second year." It was their second year as a couple.

"Why is everyone ignoring me? It's just New Year's. Are you all so
busy?" | Five minutes later, Zoey sent a voice message. "Working on a holiday pays triple. My time is precious. What is it? Spit it." It was difficult to bring up. Nonetheless, Grace gritted her teeth.
"Xander and I are... staying out overnight." Instantly, Zoey sent a screaming voice message, followed closely by Emily and Lydia.
"What the heck? Spill the tea!" "Are you starting, or has it ended? Are we also part of your g play?"
