FreeNovelJoshua stuck out his hand and pulled Celia into his embrace. "She says she doesn't know who you are." Benjamin didn't say anything. He stared intently at Celia, who had changed so completely. No matter how angry he was, he couldn't make a scene at this time.
Elysium Bank's annual party wasn't a joke, and there were many high officials present. He couldn't embarrass Anthony. Joshua was even more powerful than Hawkins Group, and it wouldn't be a good idea to offend him either.
Grace could tell that Benjamin was suppressing his anger.

Grace grabbed Noelle's hand and whispered in her ear. Noelle nodded.
After that, Grace didn't hang around longer; she left the party.
Luke was waiting outside. "The production company that Joshua invested in is Stellar, which is one of the most popular companies right now. They're rivals with Amirate's film and television department." "Check the artists that he's signed on recently." Grace took a deep breath. She hadn't planned on investigating it in such detail, but now it seemed like she had no choice but to check thoroughly.
"Celia?" Xander's doubtful voice traveled over from the other end of the phone.
"Yep. Even though we didn't talk, she's changed a lot. Joshua is from Frenda. You probably know more about his movements. Can you helpcheck?" It was noisy on Xander's end, and he seemed to be walking. After he got indoors, he finally said, "Okay." Grace could sense that something was wrong. She also wanted to ask him something else, but she didn't know how to start. The two of them lapsed into silence.
Xander spoke first. "Is your sprained ankle feeling better?" Grace glanced down. It didn't hurt much anymore. She undid the bandage that Shawn had done for her. "It's fine." She continued, "Um... I've heard about that incident with Joshua. They say that you took half of the Iverson family's fortune by bottom fishing." Even though she was tentative, she still decided to ask about it. She felt that she should be honest.
There was silence on the other end for two seconds. "Yes." "You were only 18 years old at the time. How did you do it?" "An information gap. Joshua thought that he was invincible in the stock market, and he was so arrogant that he didn't care about funds.

"Then-" He interrupted her before she could finish. "You heard the rumors." Her voice lowered. "Yes. It's not that I'm suspecting you. I just want to know how it happened. I'm afraid that something will happen to you." Xander wasn't in a good mood that day, but he felt better after hearing her say that. The image of her el obedient, gentle expression rose up in his mind. Św"I understand. If someone is set on makinga scapegoat, then Joshua is probably behind it. You'd better be careful." "I know." The two of them fell silent again.
et Xander suddenly asked, "While you were at Hawkins Group, did you know about any problems they had with funds and taxes?" S "Half of them went through me, and there weren't any problems." Grace said.
Then, she suddenly realized why he was in a bad mood. She hurriedly said, "I'm not asking you to investigate Celia because of Benjamin." At least she was quick-witted. Xander laughed lightly. Although she had misunderstood, it still made him feel better.
"If you hadn't explained, I wouldn't have been able to sleep well tonight." Grace laughed. "So, were you sulking by yourself, Mr. Fulton? What would you have done if I hadn't guessed?" "I would have flown back to Pamore to demand an explanation from you." He sounded earnest. It didn't sound like a joke, and Grace thought that he really would have done it. She murmured, "You're crazy! Are you just going to toss Fulton Group aside?" "None of that is as important as you are," he said casually.
