StarNovelChapter 718 Settle the Score Elysium Bank's crisis was resolved on the eighth day of the new year, and Noelle was discharged from the hospital on the same day.
After she was discharged, Grace accompanied her to the police station.
The officer handling the case was Danzel. Since it involved two major families and even crossed international borders, it required his personal attention.

Can you find key evidence to support your claim?" Noelle looked pained, her fingers tightly clenched. "He touched me and tore my clothes. I've told you many times. I just grabbed a beer bottle. I really didn't expect him to be so seriously injured." Her voice trembled. Grace couldn't help but hold her hand in comfort.
"Chief Bradley, we have provided Joshua's medical report, showing that his injuries are not as severe as claimed. Can't we close the case?" "This involves conflicting claims from both parties. Ms. Noelle wants him convicted of rape, while Mr. Iverson wants her convicted of causing intentional harm. With both sides sticking to their stories, we may have to go to trial," Danzel explained, also feeling helpless.
Exiting the office, Grace comforted Noelle, "Luckily, the crisis at Elysium Bank has been resolved. We have time now, even if it becomes a protracted legal battle. If he wants to go on trial, let him." Noelle's expression eased slightly upon hearing this. "Yes, it's all thanks to Timothy." Grace nodded. "Has your father changed his opinion of Timothy?" Noelle also nodded. "Since he took such risks to help me, my father praised him as a promising young man." After they left the police station, Grace headed to Amirate. Today was the first day back at work, and there were piles of things waiting to be dealt with.
Ashley handed her the new quarterly proposal. "Our group is preparing to debut this month. But Stellar has caught wind of it and plans to debut their own new talent to compete." "Who is it?" Grace asked.
"Celia." Grace smirked. "Joshua is really persistent. He just wants a share of the domestic market, no matter what." "Celia has already gained some popularity and seems poised to debut.
What should we do?" Grace opened the proposal and began making revisions. "Then I'll
make sure she knows that this path isn't so easy." She was determined to settle the score from the Amirate annual party.
On the first day back at work, Grace worked until nightfall. She stretched and unlocked her phone, finding hundreds of unread messages.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAmong work and friend-related messages was one from Xander, asking when she would be off work.
Below that was a message from an unknown number. It read, "Happy first day of work. You should've put the matter I mentioned on the agenda, right?" It was Jake.
Grace knew it at first glance. She frowned. Shouldn't he be preoccupied with other matters right now? Why did he have time to talk about this? She replied with each word carefully, "What do you want me to do?" "Two days from now, Bobby has an appointment at Wanda International." He wanted her to approach Bobby right away.
Since the annual party, Bobby had already placed plenty of trust in her, thanks to Xander's introduction.

When Grace walked over, she felt somewhat helpless. Xander was mostly low-key, but when he was high-profile, he was very ostentatious.
As she called out to him, he turned around. His sharp features radiated superiority.
He reached out and pulled her into his embrace. "Tired?" Grace tilted her head up from within his coat. "You're here to see me for something." "Wow, you're clever." He reached out to brush away a petal from her hair. "I'm taking you out to dinner."
