Chapter 267 The Crazy Dog Is Out

Xander’s expressión was calm as he handed the menu over. “That’s it! We’ll order again if needed.” Material © NôvelDrama.Org.

When the waiter had left, Grace finally put down her glass and said, “Xander, how did you

know that I don’t eat onions or mushrooms?”

Even Benjamin, who had been married to her for three years, knew nothing about this.

How did Xander know her so well?

Xander looked intensely at her and finally said, “Your older brother told me.”

“Aaron?”

Xander nodded, but didn’t say that he knew about her preferences because of how closely he had observed her.

Grace didn’t doubt him.

“Grace, is that really you?” A sudden voice made Grace raise her eyebrows. The next second, Ava had already appeared in front of her.

Her gossipy eyes looked greedily at Grace and Xander with no regard for anything else.

As Benjamin’s aunt, she had never liked Grace. She had just never expected Grace to get together with such an impressive man after leaving the Hawk

“What kind of relationship do you two have with each other?” Ava asked.

Grace had no affection for the Hawkins family, especially Ava. She was a big–mouthed gossip.

“Ms. Ava, does this have anything to do with you?”

Ava had harbored hatred toward Grace ever since her previous rejection of her. Now that Grace had spoken back to her, she felt flustered.

She said rather rudely, “What’s this then? After leaving our family, did you get yourself a boy toy? But this man is miles below Benjamin’s league. I can’t s

If Ava had been talking about her, Grace wouldn’t have been so angry. But she just had to talk about Xander.

Grace retorted, “Where did this crazy dog come from, and why is it biting wantonly?”

“Are you calling me a dog?”

“Aren’t you one?”

Ava flushed bright red, but Grace didn’t care. “Your husband’s still job– hunting, right? Do you think he would still be able to get a job if I made some comments within the industry circle?”

She had to get Ava where it hurt!

Upon hearing that threat, Ava wilted immediately.

Grace was no longer who she had been in the past, and Ava was no match for her.

Opposite them, Xander smiled and wiped the corners of Grace’s mouth for her with a napkin.

Ava seethed further when she saw that. However, there was nothing she could do, so she stamped her foot and left.

The two of them were unaffected by Ava’s appearance.

After eating, they went to Futurelink Corporation.

The staff members at Futurelink Corporation didn’t really know Grace, but Xander had introduced her during a whole– staff meeting before. She was the company’s honorary director.

Therefore, when everyone saw her, they greeted her courteously, “Hello, Ms. Lewis!”

Grace looked confused. After she got into the elevator, she asked, “Xander, why did they greet me like that?”

She knew that Futurelink had been jointly established with funds from the Fulton and Lewis families, but she had never worked there.

Xander smiled fondly. “Don’t you know that you hold 49% of Futurelink’s shares?”

Grace was shocked.

“49%?”

Didn’t that mean that she had a lot of authority at Futurelink Corporation? This meant that the collaboration with Amirate Corporation would naturally go smoothly.

After all, good things should be kept within the family!

“Xander, why didn’t you tell me this before?”

“It’s not too late to tell you now.”

As the two of them got out of the elevator, they ran into Linda.
