Chapter 376 Strange Hostility

Grace remained silent, as if contemplating something,

Finally, she looked at Xander, boldly guessing his thoughts. “Xander, let me guess. There’s more to your suggestion of seven days, right?”

Xander crossed his arms in front of him, projecting an air as if he could handle anything. Yet when he spoke, there was a hint of affection in his tone. “I can’t hide anything from you.”

Grace suddenly understood. The two exchanged a knowing smile.

On the side, Emily was puzzled. “Grace, what kind of secret code are you two using?”

“Don’t worry, Emily. In this world, no one can do anything without leaving a trace.”

“So?”

“The truth will come out eventually. Those designs reported by Jessica are my work from my university days. The drafts of the designs are still at the school. So now, what we need is time.”

They needed time to gather the necessary evidence.

Emily finally understood their plan. “So, you plan to go back to school?”

Grace nodded. “It’s time to go back and take a look. Maybe I can replace something. Xander-”

Before Grace could continue, Xander guessed what she wanted. “I’ll go with you.”

Grace was moved. “Thank you.”

That afternoon, she canceled all her work at Amirate and departed for Coronia with Xander.

On the private plane, she felt somewhat exhausted and leaned back to rest on the seat. Soon, her breathing became steady.

Xander stared at her profile affectionately. At this moment, everything was so peaceful. He gently covered her with a blanket.

Just then, a phone vibrated on the table.

Although the plane was still en route, the phone could still receive calls through the satellite signals.

Xander stood up and went to the other side, tapping on the large screen.

Immediately, a handsome face appeared on the screen. With an enthusiastic smile, Xander’s friend, Callum Stevens, said, “Xander! I can finally see your face-”

1/2

Callum rattled on, but Xander bluntly interrupted. “Get to the point.”

Those simple words made Callum, who had just had a mischievous expression, immediately. turn serious, “I’ve found the information you asked me to check about Jessica ”

“Did you replace anything?”

Callum shook his head and shrugged. “Nothing special. She has a clean background, and her family relationships are simple. I couldn’t replace anything from her social connections, either.”

Clean background?

Xander tapped his finger on the table lightly,

Seeing this, Callum couldn’t help but feel a chill down his spine. Whenever Xander made this move, he sensed something wasn’t right.

Although Callum didn’t know why Xander had asked him to investigate Jessica, he could clearly feel Xander’s dissatisfaction with his work.

“Xander, Jessica has been an excellent student from childhood to adulthood, Outstanding in every subject, almost like the legendary ‘kid next door’.

“Other than a car accident five years ago, in which her parents died and she became an orphan, there’s hardly anything else.”

Xander caught the key point. “She had been in a car accident?”

Callum nodded repeatedly. “Yes, I checked the information from back then. Her family’s car lost control on the highway and collided with a large truck.

“Jessica’s parents died on the spot, but she miraculously survived.”
