Chapter 286 How Could She Be the Lewis Family’s Daughter

The moment Grace realized that she and Xander were the only ones in the room, her face

blushed.

She didn’t have to think twice to figure out that Xander must have carried her into the room.

“Ah, Grace! You’re in deep trouble,” she regretfully said, paying no attention to Xander beside her as she promptly ushered him out.

Xander was bewildered, but he shook his head in resignation.

When Grace finished freshening up, Xander had already left the room. She sighed deeply, then sat down at the dining table and earnestly began eating breakfast.

However, halfway through her meal, the doorbell rang.

Thinking it might be Xander returning, Grace got up to open the door. “Xander, didn’t you

your access card?”

The sight that greeted her wasn’t Xander, but a surprised–looking Vivian.

Pointing at Grace, Vivian seethed with anger. “You … you stayed here last night?”

Grace looked innocent as she asked, “Is there a problem?”

Fuming, Vivian asked, “Where’s Mr. Fulton? Where is he?”

Grace spread her hands and said, “He’s not here. Is there something wrong, Ms. Myers?”

Vivian spoke bluntly. “We’re about to leave, Ms. Lewis. Don’t keep people waiting.”

With that, she slammed the door shut and strode away, leaving a puzzled Grace blinking in

surprise.

When Grace went downstairs, a group of people was already waiting.

Luke came forward respectfully. “Ms. Lewis.”

Grace nodded slightly. “You’re here.”

She then looked at Xander, momentarily forgetting the events of the previous night, and waved casually.

Watching their exchange from the side, Vivian looked displeased.

But she was reluctant to cause a scene in front of Xander, so she controlled her temper.

“Mr. Fulton, today we’ll visit Soraya Group. There’s a meeting in the morning, and in the

In front of Xander, Vivian’s tone was gentle, and her attitude was friendly. She perfectly maintained the image of a capable director.

Xander nodded slightly and walked to Grace. “Let’s go, Gracie.”

Grace agreed and led the way.

Xander followed closely, a half–step behind her. The two of them walked in sync, displaying their perfect chemistry.

Vivian couldn’t hide her dissatisfaction.

“Ms. Myers, who’s this Ms. Lewis? Why does Mr. Fulton seem different around her?”

Her assistant, Gina Smith, couldn’t help but gossip.

Arrogantly, Vivian replied, “She’s just a young woman. Nothing special. By the way, I asked you to check her background. Did you find anything?”

“Yes, Ms. Myers. I checked, but found nothing. She seems to have a good relationship with the Lewis family.”

“The Lewis family? Which one?”

“The wealthiest family in Frenda.”

“That Lewis family? Could she be from that family?”

Vivian took a bold guess, but Gina shook her head. “If she’s from that Lewis family, how could she end up here?

“I’ve inquired thoroughly. The Lewis family only has one daughter, who has been pampered since childhood. Since she was born into such luxury, how could she come out to work like this?”
