Chapter 136 You Need to Use Your Brain
Xander’s eyes turned colder when he heard Grace. He swirled the highball glass in his hand, making the bright red liquid inside ripple.
He had always held a grudge against the Hawkins for how Grace’s mother–in–law and sister–in -law had mistreated her.
“It’s nice to meet you, Mr. Fulton!” Celia didn’t seem to notice the change in atmosphere and extended her right hand toward Xander.
Even after a while, her extended hand received no handshake from him.
Somewhat embarrassed, Celia withdrew her hand. “Mr. Fulton, you’ve become the president of Futurelink Corporation at such a young age.
“I’m honored to meet you today and hope that Hawkins Group can have the opportunity to work with Futurelink.”
Xander smiled, but it didn’t seem sincere. “I appreciate the compliments, Ms. Hawkins, but let’s skip the collaboration.”
His response completely humiliated Celia.
People around were surprised that the newcomer, Xander, would treat the Hawkins family- the local bigwig–in such a way.
They secretly felt anxious for him.
Likewise, Celia was taken aback, and the smile on her face froze. Eventually, she could no longer hold her smile.
She had never been treated this way in Pamore before.
“Mr. Fulton, what do you mean by that? Are you not considering collaborating with Hawkins Group?”
Celia continued, “Do you know what kind of presence Hawkins Group has in Pamore? Offending the Hawkins family has no benefits for you. Or…”
As she glanced at Grace, she added a hint of mockery to her tone. “Or are you willing to antagonize the Hawkins family for this woman?”
“Ms: Hawkins, it’s my business how I handle my affairs. You have no right to interfere.”
Celia didn’t expect Xander to be so protective of Grace. Instantly, her eyes turned red with jealousy.

“Mr. Fulton, do you know her so well that you dare stand up for her like this? Do you know she was nothing but a lowly dog in my family? Even a few barks from her would be annoying.”
