Chapter 91

“Did she… guess my identity?” Grace wondered.

Their eyes met.

Grace smiled charmingly. “Take a guess.”

Hedda’s expression was serious. “If I could guess the answer, I wouldn’t have come to you.”

Originally, she suspected that Grace might also be a member of the Smith family, but she had checked them out. Except for their leader Ethan Smith, who had a daughter, almost all the other branches of the family contained boys.

However, Ethan had announced her daughter’s death six years ago.

Therefore, this guess was almost impossible.

However, the Lewis family in S City had just announced the news about their illegitimate daughter a few years ago, but they had not revealed her appearance. Could it be….

“Are you the illegitimate daughter of the head of the Lewis family?

Hearing Hedda’s question, Grace breathed a sigh of relief. Instead of answering, she asked, “We haven’t known each other for long. Why do you want to help me this time?”

Hedda said seriously, “As I said, I’m not helping you. If something happens to you, the Mellis family will be in trouble. I’m just protecting you in order to protect the Mellis family.”

Hearing this answer, Grace felt much more relaxed. At least she didn’t have to feel guilty for holding back on her friend who was genuinely helping her.

“Miss Mellis is indeed worthy of being the heir trained by Mr. Mellis. You can calculate the gains and losses right away. With you around, the Mellis Group will go further in the future.”

After saying that, Grace turned around and was about to leave.

Hedda stopped her. “What about you? You haven’t answered my question yet.”

Grace stopped, but she didn’t look back.

“I’m Grace.”

Her voice was very soft but powerful.

Hedda watched her back, and her eyes gradually became obscure. No one could tell what she was thinking.

After coming out of the remote corridor, Grace did not go back to the venue. Instead, she went back to the car and changed into a set of casual clothes she had brought along. She informed Patric on the phone and drove back to the Angle Group.

As soon as she entered the office, she found that Adrain had been waiting there for a long time.

Seeing Grace push the door open, he walked over with a smile and said, “I heard about what happened at the Mellis’s ceremony. Your temperament hasn’t changed at all, and you’re still the same as before. You’re really a bad guy who won’t let yourself suffer any losses.”

This was the third person to call her a “bad guy” recently.

Grace shook her head with a smile and changed the topic. “Why did you come here?”

Adrain stopped joking and handed the document in his hand to her seriously.

“This is the recent construction progress of the entire film and television base. Since you carried out

the reform last time, the speed has indeed greatly increased. I believe that if it goes on like this, it will be completed in half a month.”

Grace took the document, flipped it open, and read it carefully. “Very good.”

Seeing her sincere smile, Adrain was happy and continued. “The person in charge of the base who is cooperating with us said that he wishes to sign a long-term contract with you and hopes that you can give him a reply as soon as possible.”

“It’s a win-win cooperation. I agree.”

After getting her approval, Adrain handed over another document. “These people want to edit popular online novels into online dramas and hope to have a chance to cooperate with the Angle Group. Here’s the script.”

Grace read the script carefully and nodded.

“It’s indeed an excellent and popular novel. It’d be a good thing for the actors in the Angle Group to star in it.”

As she spoke, she considered the candidates according to the roles and the popularity of the actors.

“As for the male actors, I prefer Tom Walker. Although this guy is a little naughty, he is very serious when filming, and his acting skills are not bad. In addition, Andy’s and Bella’s looks are quite suitable for these two roles…”

After a discussion, Adrain agreed.

“I didn’t expect you to think the same way as the person in charge of the base. Well, it’s getting late.

You must be tired after the martial arts competition at the Mellis’s ceremony, right?”

Grace just pursed her lips and smiled. Although her expression was calm, Adrain still caught the tiredness in her eyes.

He really felt sorry for her. “No matter how busy you are, you have to pay attention to your health. In fact, you don’t have to do all these things yourself. You can try to… rely on a man.”

He seemed to be implying something. Just as he was about to pat her on the shoulder, she happened to turn around and walk toward the sofa, avoiding his touch.

Rely on a man?

Was the lesson she had been taught in the past three years not enough?

She could rely on no one in this world except for herself.

However, she did not intend to tell Adrain these thoughts. She just said lightly, “Don’t worry. I know what I’m doing.”

Adrain withdrew his hand despondently. After chatting with her for a while, he turned around and left the office.

As soon as he left, Grace shrank back into the sofa. She was really tired today. She had used up all her strength in the competition with the Solon Sect, and now she just wanted to rest alone.

However, five minutes later, Beth knocked on the door and walked in.

“Ms. Salen, something’s wrong with Mr. Walker!”

Grace had no choice but to perk up and get up from the soft sofn. While listening to Beth’s report, she drove to the set.

According to Beth’s description, the director of this drama was very famous, but he the most bad-

tempered person in showbiz.

He felt that there was something unreasonable with the contract he had signed with the Angle Group, so he forced Tom to stay on the set. He wanted to prolong Tom’s filming time. How could Tom compromise? So the two of them had a fight on the set.

As soon as Grace arrived at the set, she heard the quarrel coming from inside.

“Do you want me to be a free laborer? Aren’t you afraid that I will expose what you have done on the Internet? Do you still want to be part of the director circle?”

The famous director Colin Jones was not easy to deal with, either. He responded to Tom with a fake smile.

“Mr. Walker, I know you’re not only famous but also have the support of the Walker family, but I’m not afraid! There’s something wrong with your contract. What’s the problem with letting you shoot for a few more hours? You’re on my turf now. If you don’t cooperate, I’ll ask someone to edit your scenes and ruin your popularity!”

Tom was furious at this man’s shameless behavior, but it was rare that he did not throw things around in a rage.

Colin was very proud to have the upper hand.

“As a popular star, you should know how important it is for you to be generally liked. I can help you go further on this road and also can easily destroy you. Do you want to try me?”

“You shameless villain!”

Colin was not irritated. Instead, he laughed louder.

“Haha! I didn’t expect that the playful boy of the Walker family would fall into my hands one day. After all, I’m in the right this time. Even G od can’t help you!”

As soon as he finished speaking, a delicate voice suddenly sounded at the door of the set.

“Really? Then I might have to disappoint you, Director Colin!”

Everyone on the set looked at the door and saw Grace, who was with Beth, walking over with a cold aura, as if she was going to have a fight.
