Chapter 696 He Actually Helped ! "It's not difficult, but there is a risk. In Hawkins Group's current condition, we can't afford to get caught up in even the tiniest mess." Benjamin did not hesitate at all.

Timothy had pleaded with his long-time friend once more. "We've known each other for so many years. Can't you do it for my sake?" "Timothy, no matter how crazy you were when you were pursuing Grace, you were never impulsive." This had shattered Timothy's last shred of hope.

He pulled himself out of his memories and tossed the cigarette stub into the trash can. "It doesn't matter. I will save Noelle, even if it means I can no longer be a deputy director."

* Then, he got up and walked briskly toward the hospital room.

"Timothy." Xander called out to himin a crisp voice.

"Joshua is second in line in the Iverson family. For the past few years, he's been competing against his Gabriel for the | right to the family inheritance.

"He came to Pamore to make trouble of his own accord, so perhaps Gabriel hasn't ' caught wind of it yet." Xander walked over to him as he spoke.

"Gabriel and I have some history together. If you don't mind, mention my name. He'll see you." Joshua had once been a strong contender in the Iverson family. After he had lost everything to Xander in the stock market, his reputation had dropped sharply.

Hence, Joshua's older brother, Gabriel Iverson, was always courteous to Xander

in private, even if he had never said anything outright.

Timothy was stunned. He hadn't expected Xander to help him.

aYou— n I ) "Bullying women is not what a gentleman should do. I helped for Grace's sake, so don't feel burdened." This would also be payback for what had happened at the annual party.

Timothy was puzzled. After a moment, he smiled bitterly. "Thank you." Noelle was worn out from crying, and she fell asleep on the hospital bed without realizing it.

Grace closed the door carefully and walked right into Xander. She frowned.

"Were you smoking?"

"Timothy was." Perhaps some of it had clung to Xander.

| Grace entered the elevator with him: "Noelle told me that Joshua refuses to settle and insists on going the legal route.

| "There was no sign of sexual violation on her body, so it's highly probable that | she'll be found guilty of intentional harm." Noelle probably knew this, which was "why Anthony had wanted to settle.

Grace had no idea what to do. She looked both earnest and miserable as she frowned. "This happened on my territory.

No matter what, I have to think of something." "Timothy has already flown to Frenda.

There may be a turning point." Grace didn't understand. She was still immersed in thinking of a solution to the problem.

Xander laughed in a low voice and smoothed out her forehead with his finger. "You look like an old lady when 4 you frown." "I'm being serious!" | He kept laughing. "Before we came to the hospital, do you remember what you | were planning on doing?" His words reminded her at once. "I was going to investigate the Hawkins family's maid." "Perhaps she has something to do with Celia." "But her daughter has been transferred, and we don't have any leads to pursue." Grace deflated again.

The elevator doors opened, and Xander guided her out, shielding her as they weaved through the crowd. "She was once employed by the Hawkinses. Do you have anyone trustworthy that you could

ask?" hb Benjamin was out of the question, and he d might not even tell the truth. Grace very quickly realized something. "I've thought of someone." Half an hour late, Xander's Bentley : { Mulsanne stopped outside Hawkins Manor.

. The driver helped get something out of the trunk and handed it to Grace.

After taking it, she went up and pressed the doorbell.

"Who is it?" The maid, Amanda Taylor, came out, and when she saw the visitor clearly, she cried out in delight, "It's Ms.

Lewis! Mrs. Hawkins Senior, Ms. Lewis is back!" It had been over half a year since the last time Grace had come to visit Elizabeth.
