"Why would she run if she had nothing to hide? She most likely orchestrates this incident." Larry stood in front of the desk at Hawkins Group, frustrated with the situation.

Benjamin fiddled with a pen in his hand.

His face darkened as he said, "Ryan isn't capable of hiring Brodie. It was Danielle. She has connections with those people at the border." "She had such connections?" "It's sparse. She wouldn't use them unless necessary." Larry pondered and said, "Danielle must be desperate." "The construction project is on the brink of collapse. She wanted to take preventive measures by asking Grace for money.

"She didn't expect Xander to return suddenly, making her efforts futile. Now that the construction site is under investigation, it's no wonder she fled." Benjamin tossed the pen on the desk, visibly irritated.

"So, what do we do now? Amirate Corporation won't let this go without an explanation." Benjamin rubbed his temples.

"Not just them, Brodie's identity has alerted the police. With my brother involved, they won't stop investigating." At first, Larry didn't take it seriously, but then he reacted with shock.

"What? Alexander?" "I saw him at the scene. I didn't see his face, but judging by his build, it's most likely him." Although they were half-brothers, Benjamin was sure he wasn't mistaken.

Larry was taken aback.

"Alexander is alive? So, the government helped him lay low all these years. No wonder we couldn't find him." They would never have known the truth if Jessica had not revealed this fact.

"He's already met Grace. Otherwise, he wouldn't have shown up that day." Benjamin was certain, and his heart sank.

He suspected his elder brother harbored sunresolved feelings.

Benjamin's mind was filled with Grace's impatient attitude towards him, which worried him more.

"Send someone to find Jessica. She's in charge of the project. She can't leave Pamore. Keep a close watch." "Understood." "Also, have Timothy cover." "Amirate Corporation and Byte played a win-win game. They made a move on you right after the party ended. You were lucky to have survived." ŚwAaron spoke on the phone with a chilling tone.

Grace held her breath.

"Aaron, it's my fault for being too trusting." She knew Caleb must have told him.

Aaron didn't blher.

"Mr. Walker has been in the Amirate Corporation for many years. I vel.ne thought he was just old-fashioned. I never expected him to be soo ambitious. "We don't need to keep him around. Have you found him?" Xander dipped sfresh shrimp in sauce and brought it to her lips.

Grace hesitated to eat and answered, "Not yet, but finding him won't be hard. I'll get it done." Aaron hummed in acknowledgment, not intending to hang up.

Just as Grace bit into the shrimp, he asked, "Are you with that Fulton lad?" Grace choked unexpectedly, coughing for a long time.

Xander handed her a tissue with a smile lingering on his face and took over the phone.

"Aaron, you made her choke." Aaron wasn't surprised by his presence.

"When did this happen?" "Not long ago." "Is it you who doesn't want to explain this, or is it her?" Xander glanced at Grace, who was watching him expectantly.

"It's not stable yet. We have our considerations." "At least such mistakes shouldn't happen. This is a matter of life and death."
