Chapter 425 Under His Protection


    Benjaminposed his expression but remained silent.


    Danielle continued with a cold sneer, "But as a woman, I can clearly tell that Grace has no feelings


    for you, Benjamin. You should give up."


    Her words seemed to provoke Benjamin. He snapped, "Enough, Danielle."


    "Why? Are you unwilling to ept it?"


    Benjamin''s lips twitched slightly. "Those whomit sins will perish. If you want to start over, I can


    give you the greatest support. Consider it Alexander''spensation for you."


    "Don''t mention him!" Danielle yelled.


    Her emotions became extremely unstable. "Benjamin, don''t mention him in front of me."


    Holding her head, she was in a state of losing control.


    As she turned around, she looked coldly at Benjamin, almost raging. "Benjamin, if you''re willing to


    help me, invest 500 million dors in Landon Group. Otherwise, I''ll take Grace with me in death."


    When it came to money, Benjamin didn''t hesitate for a moment.


    He took out his checkbook from his pocket and signed his name on one of them. He then handed it


    to Danielle. "This is thest time. And remember, don''t touch Grace."


    After saying that, he stuffed the check into her hand and walked away.


    Danielle stood there, watching Benjamin''s departing figure with intense hatred.


    Instinctively, she tightened her grip, turning the once-pristine check into a wrinkled mess.


    …


    After Grace left the café, she found herself without a destination for the first time. For a moment,


    she felt a bit weary, like a tired bird in need of a ce to rest.


    In the next second, a figure appeared, and her eyes focused instantly. She thought she might be


    seeing things, so she rubbed her eyes, only to find Xander standing in front of her.


    Smiling, Xander looked at her, his eyes filled with deep affection. "Gracie, what are you doing?"

    Grace chuckled and exined, "Xander, why are you here? I thought I must be seeing things."


    Xander reached out and took her hand. "I heard from Luke that you left the office in a hurry. I was


    worried if something had happened to you, so I came to check on you."


    Grace smiled, and the warmth transmitted through their joined hands warmed her heart.


    In this moment, it felt like her wandering heart had found a ce to rest.


    "Xander, don''t worry. I''m fine. In fact, I''m a little relieved right now."


    "Relieved? About what?" Xander curiously asked.


    Grace just smiled and didn''t answer, but she subconsciously tightened her grip on his hand.


    She felt relieved that, in this moment, she seemed to have truly understood her heart. She had


    completely let go of the man who had once upied all of her mind.


    "By the way, Xander, Jessica has alreadye clean with me. She''s the Quines'' eldest daughter,


    Danielle Quine. Starting today, it''ll be a tough battle between her and me."


    A glint shed in Xander''s eyes. Those familiar with him knew that it was a dangerous signal in


    response to an enemy.


    "What''s your n?"


    Grace took a deep breath. There was a confident glimmer in her eyes. "We''ll meet on the battlefield.


    May the best one win."


    "Go ahead. I''m here for you," Xander said.


    He knew her well and trusted her. She would be able to pull it off. But even if she failed, he would be


    there to protect her.
