Chapter 409 A Tough Battle As Callum finished talking, he waved at them. Grace spread her hands in resignation. "Xander, is he interested in my friends?" Xander raised his eyebrows. "Think carefully about it. Who would it be?" Grace shook her head slightly. "I can't guess. But matters of the heart are like that. It all depends on the person involved. Let him go ahead, then." Xander smiled fondly. "Alright, let's go. "n The private plane took off from Coronia and flew 30 thousand miles in the sky. Finally, it stopped at the private helipad in Pamore.

Time had passed quickly, and it was already late at night. Emily and Zoey had been waiting for a long time.— When they saw Grace, Emily immediately lunged at her. She pulled her into an embrace. "Gracie, you're finally back!" Grace patted her shoulder. "Alright, alright. Aren't I back now? Plus, I gained a lot from this trip." Emily let her go and hurriedly asked, ""Have you found the original design drafts?" Grace murmured in assent and quickly pulled out a stack of documents. She handed it over to Zoey, who was nearby. "Zoey, it's up to you from now on!" Zoey raised her eyebrows slightly and

smiled mischievously. "This is nothing! Just let me know when you want this breaking news to trend." "I'm meeting Jessica at 10:00 am. So let's make it 10:30 am then." Zoey gave her a thumbs-up. "Leave it to me. I won't disappoint you." Grace and Xander exchanged glances, and both of them knew at once.

Tomorrow would be a tough battle.

The next day, Jessica had arranged to meet them at the Pamore Pentagon.

Grace and Xander arrived punctually at 10:00 am on the dot.

"Where's Ms. Landon?"

When the bodyguard heard Grace's question, he nodded slightly but said nothing. Then, he pushed openthe — door and gestured for them to enter.

Grace and Xander walked in. An extravagantly styled office appeared in front of them. The decor was extremely eye-catching.

Jessica slowly turned around in her chair and looked up at the two of them.

She smiled in satisfaction. "It looks like you're pretty punctual." As she spoke, she strode toward Grace, looking the latter up and down.

However, she didn't see what she was looking for.

"Ms. Lewis, did you come empty- handed? Where's the money I asked for? Why didn't you bring it?"

Grace smiled slightly, as calm as always.

She looked up, meeting Jessica's gaze head-on. "Don't be in such a rush, Ms.

Landon. It's just a billion dollars. You'll get it eventually." Jessica grinned triumphantly. "Are you planning to give it to me in cash, Ms.

Lewis? One billion dollars in cash would make a pretty big pile." "You seem to care a lot about this money, Ms. Landon. But that can't be.

You don't look like you lack money." Jessica huffed coldly. "Let's skip the niceties and get straight to the point.

Take out the money, and then we can talk." "Don't be in such a rush, Ms. Landon.

Before that, I have something that I want you to see." Jessica looked doubtfully at Grace, and for some reason, her heart skipped a beat.

A sense of uneasiness rose up in her, and she looked guardedly at Grace.

"What do you want to show me?" Grace slowly took out a sketchbook from her pocket. "It isn't anything much. Just a sketchbook." Jessica looked at the sketchbook, but she didn't seem to recognize it at all.

She asked perplexedly, "What is this?"
