Chapter 714 I Want to Make Her Happy When they arrived at Lewis Manor, both Victor and Caleb were not around. Harold said that they had left early in the morning. While everyone knew what Caleb was up to, it was surprising that even the recluse Victor had gone out.

Grace chuckled. "Looks like there's a story to uncover." Aaron sat at the head of the table, brewing a pot of tea with skillful hands. "It seems we'll have plenty of opportunities to meet in the future." "Your tea has a unique taste that I really like. I'll have to come over more often for it." Xander nodded.

Their conversation was nothing special, yet they both understood the hidden meaning behind the words.

At that moment, a servant knocked on the door. "There's a car outside requesting entry. They claim to be Ms. Lewis’ friends." "My friends?" Grace didn't think much of it and walked out, saying, "Let them in." She had expected it to be Zoey and the others. But when she stood in the garden, she found herself looking at an unfamiliar license plate on the car.

The person who got out of the car was none other than Timothy.

After not seeing him for a few days, he seemed much more composed now. He nodded at her. "Grace." "Why are you here? Has Noelle's case been resolved?" ''I just came back from Frenda. It's still ongoing, but it's going smoothly. I came here because I heard Xander was here." Timothy's tone was relaxed, and the worry in his eyes had disappeared.

Before coming here, he had gone to Summitview Manor and was informed that Xander and Grace were together, so he rushed over.

"Why are you looking for him?" Grace was surprised.

"Don't you know? Elysium Bank's crisis has been resolved. I have to thank him for it." Resolved? Grace was pleasantly surprised. "Then Anthony doesn't have to grovel to the Iverson family anymore. He can stand up to Joshua." Timothy nodded with a smile. "May I come in?" "Of course." She left a space for the two men to talk.

Xander stood under the eaves. Last night's rain had left water droplets on the eaves. When they hit the leaves, it created a pleasant sound.

""He was hesitant at first. He asked me what benefits the Iverson family would gain if they gave up Anthony's defection. I told him I

Chapter 14 Wont to Make Her Happy Pert could help him firmly secure his position as the heir of the Iverson family." The families of two sons were always at odds. Even if one side stumbled, the other couldn't find peace of mind. As a result, cases of siblings hurting each other were common among the aristocracy.

Xander remained calm. "What did you promise him in your capacity as deputy director of the investment bank?" IIT can at least ensure that these transactions are not detected on the surface." Timothy had an air of resignation about him. He hadn't expected he could go this far for Noelle.

"If it's discovered —" I'[ can handle it." Timothy interrupted him. After a moment of hesitation, he asked, "What about you? Did you have any insider trading when you bottomed out Joshua?" Xander's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness. "Use your sharp investment banker's mind to think about it. What do you think?" Timothy fell silent. In truth, he wasn't sure, but at that moment, he said, "I believe you didn't." This took Xander by surprise.

"You helped Noelle without expecting anything in return. Just that

alone, I believe you're not someone who's only after profit." | The feeling of being understood was indeed pleasant. Xander didn't show it but simply said, "I'm not doing this for you. I'm doing it for Grace. She'll feel down when Noelle's in trouble. I want to make her ~ happy." It was as simple as that.

Timothy was somewhat shaken. In the past, he had stood on Benjamin's side and didn't know how selfless Xander's love was for Grace.

He believed that Benjamin couldn't do the same.
