NovelEnglishSurprisingly, Jake didn't get angry. "Besides this, I excel in many other aspects." Grace spun around. "Too bad. You'll always be inferior." Inferior to Xander.
Jake's expression changed slightly. Despite being a bastard, he had wielded power for years, so no woman had dared to talk to him like that before. Grace was the first who was completely fearless of him.
He exerted more force on his grip on Grace's waist. Suddenly, he reached out to touch her necklace.
"Eternal Love. Xander is really generous. I wonder what he would think if he knew you were dancing withwhile wearing it." Grace pushed his hand away. "He would trust me, of course. After all, your reputation speaks for itself." Jake smiled. "Are you that sure?" Grace didn't want to continue that topic. She just wanted to finish that dance quickly.

Jake lifted her hand, changing his posture. "You haven't gotten any dirt on him yet. You don't have the right to negotiate with me." Grace was speechless.
After a moment, she reminded him, "Don't harm the innocent. Shawn is just an ordinary person." "I'm not interested in that teahouse owner." Meanwhile, outside the hotel, Caleb stood with Lydia. She carefully tugged at the corner of his shirt. "Sorry, Caleb. That was just my colleague. Please don't be angry." Caleb puffed his cheeks in anger, and he didn't speak for a long time.
He was the third son of the Lewis family and a globally renowned superstar, yet Lydia didn't seem to care about any of that. She didn't want to make their relationship public, and he had never felt so frustrated.
But as he looked at her pitiful face, he couldn't stay angry.
"Forget it." Caleb sighed softly, rubbing her hair.
Just then, a red Bentley Mulsanne arrived and stopped in front of them.
Caleb glanced at it and was surprised.
"Xander?" The man who got out of the Bentley stood against the light, showing his slim figure. He closed the door behind him calmly. "Public display of affection in front of so many people? You're quite brave now." Caleb suddenly felt embarrassed. "Why did you suddenly cback?" "It's Amirate's annual party. Also, you're here. Why can't I be here?" Xander was in a good mood. He looked at the bustling building. "Where's Gracie?" "Inside. She'll be very happy to see you back Caleb's gaze fell on Hazel, who was behind Xander. He assumed that she was Xander's secretary. She was carrying a bag of food in her hand. "Who's showing affection now? You cback from overseas but still brought her favorite dishes on the way." Since Lydia hadn't interacted much with Xander, she stood behind Caleb. She was unusually docile. "Yeah, you're so thoughtful." Xander smiled at their words.
He knew that Grace must have been too busy to eat on such an occasion. After getting off the plane, he had purposely gone a little out of his way to get her favorite dishes.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThey were all light and mild dishes. Chicken soup, roasted vegetables, grilled portobello mushrooms, and ham salad.
Xander entered the building, took the VIP elevator, and went straight to the top floor.
As he approached the entrance of the venue, he could hear the lively sounds of dance music coming from inside.
He couldn't help but feel young at that moment. He was surprised at himself for feeling excited, like a young man. "Givethat. You wait outside." After Hazel handed Xander the bag of food, he pushed the door open.
The dance music had just cto an end. Jake ended the dance with his arm around Grace's waist.
Leaning in close to her ear, he whispered, "I must say. I'm quite interested in you." Privacy
