Unbeknownst to them, their conversation was making everyone around them gawk in surprise.

The crowd could clearly see Xander’s affection for Grace. The intense way he looked at her made them seem like a couple in love.

Everyone’s curiosity was immediately aroused, especially because the two of them were wearing matching outfits in the same color!

“Are they really a couple?” someone in the crowd asked, igniting the flame of gossip at once.

Benjamin was standing nearby, and his expression darkened at once. He stared at the two of them, his eyes seeming to burn a hole in them.

“Mr. Fulton, have you two met before?” one of Celia’s lackeys asked.

Xander looked at Grace and said, “Yes, we’ve known each other for many years.

The crowd started whispering again at that.

They had known each other for many years?

That would mean that they had grown up together!

That wasn’t unexpected. After all, Grace was the heiress of the Lewis family, which was the

richest in the world.

Any man who had grown up with her would probably be just as capable as she was. Wasn’t the fact that Futurelink Corporation’s power was now growing rapidly in Pamore further evidence

of that?

When Celia heard this, her expression changed immediately. Just a moment ago, she had been

shamelessly bragging to Grace about her close relationship with Xander.

She had never expected that Grace was the one who was secretly the top dog here!

Now all she wanted to do was escape. She wished the ground would swallow her up.

“Gracie, let me take you to meet someone.” Xander held out his hand to her. Grace hesitated, feeling everyone’s eyes on her.

If she took Xander’s hand with everyone looking, rumors would surely spread. She didn’t mind that, but she didn’t want to affect Xander.

While she was hesitating, Xander didn’t give her a chance to refuse and took her hand. At that moment, Grace felt the warmth emanating from his palm,

Finally, the mysterious mask of the president of Futurelink Corporation had been cast aside!

Many business tycoons were crowding around Xander to initiate conversation with him, but he nodded politely while rejecting them all.

He walked through the crowd toward the spot where his eyes had been the whole time.

“Cece, Xander is coming over,” one of Celia’s lackeys said, pulling excitedly on her clothes.

At that moment, Celia was shocked.

She hadn’t expected Xander to come to her. What should she say? She became extremely

nervous.

But then, Xander stopped in front of Grace, and in front of everyone, he said, “Hello, Gracie.

It’s been a while.”

This threw the crowd into an uproar.

“What’s going on? Do Xander and Grace know each other?” Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.

“What kind of relationship do they have?”

“No, no! Look, they’re even wearing matching outfits! They look like a couple!”

Countless eyes were fixed on Xander and Grace, and rumors began swirling around them.

Gráce smiled and said, “I should’ve guessed when Aunt Hestia called me. But still, I’m a little

startled.”

Xander reached out and patted her head fondly.

“Startled? Aren’t you pleasantly surprised?”
