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 sevendays, 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 ofaffection 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 thedesigns 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 | can find something. Xander—"Before Grace could continue, Xander guessed what she wanted. "I'll go with you."

Grace was moved. "Thank you."

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! | can finally see your face—"

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 theinformation you asked me to check about Jessica."

"Did you find anything?"

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

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