"Women will never tolerate a third person in a relationship, and Ms. Lewis is no exception."However, that was in the past. The Grace who had had eyes only for Benjamin, indeed couldn't tolerate such things. But now, everything seemed to have changed.Benjamin took a deep breath, and all his despair disappeared in an instant. It was as though the somewhat dejected Benjamin from just now had just been an illusion."Let's go, Larry." With that, Benjamin walked away.…Right after Grace returned to her office in Amirate, an unexpected guest arrived.Samuel had received first-hand information that the collaboration between Amirate and Nexa Group had soured.Delighted, he couldn't resist dropping by Grace's office to watch the fun."Ms. Lewis! It's been a few days, and you seem to be quite haggard. It looks like you've been quite worried about work!" He sounded extremely gleeful.Without raising her head, Grace said, "It seems like you've got a lot of free time, Director Walker, to
Luke placed the contract in front of Grace. "Take a look for yourself."Grace hadn't expected that Nexa Group would be so sincere."Well, in that case, we'll agree to this collaboration for now. But we'll need to finalize the contract after our next meeting with them.""Yes, Ms. Lewis."With this matter settled, Grace's mood instantly improved. She became energized and was more focused on her work.Since she was fully immersed in her work, she didn't notice that a figure had quietly entered her office.Upon seeing Grace so engrossed, Emily had a look of disbelief in her eyes. She hadn't expected Grace to be so deeply absorbed in her work.After walking up to the desk, she tapped on it a few times. However, Grace didn't look up and simply said, "Yes, Luke. Could you make me a cup of coffee?"Emily was left speechless.Only when Grace noticed there was no response did she raise her head. At once, her eyes were filled with surprise. "Emily? Why are you here?"Emily sighed helple
"That's right. I heard that your daughter-in-law has opened a boutique with unique clothing styles, and the business is booming. Many people are lining up to shop there.""Mrs. Hawkins, we're so close to each other. Why don't you inform your daughter-in-law, and we can go to her store to pick out a few outfits?"Without a word, Susan listened to the wealthy ladies praise Grace about anything and everything. Instantly, her face turned somewhat unpleasant.She had used to think that Grace was just an orphan from the countryside. So she had done many outrageous things to Grace and even pressured her to divorce Benjamin.Now that it had been revealed that Grace was the daughter of the Lewis family, Susan deeply regretted her past behavior.If she had been kinder to Grace, she wouldn't be this embarrassed now."Why don't you say something, Mrs. Hawkins? Can you make it happen? If you can, I'll ask my girlfriends to come along, and we can help support your daughter-in-law's business."
"Ms. Lewis, I didn't expect to see you here," one of the wealthy ladies greeted Grace, her eyes sparkling."We're here for a spa day with your mother-in-law. We were just talking about going to your store to pick out some clothes together!"Grace recognized the lady in front of her. It was Lauren Bates."Mrs. Turner, you're always welcome to visit my store. But Benjamin and I are divorced, so Mrs. Hawkins here is no longer my mother-in-law. Our relationship isn't as good as she mentioned either."Grace's words were casual, but they hit Susan like a heavy blow.Just a moment ago, she had been boasting in front of these wealthy ladies. Now that Grace had exposed the truth in such a brutal way, Susan's face turned red with embarrassment.Lauren was quite perceptive. At Grace's statement, she quickly apologized, "I'm sorry for my poor memory. I hope you don't mind, Ms. Lewis."Although Grace was younger than her, she displayed a humble attitude and showed respect with the way she sp
"Grace," Susan said with a forced smile. "I admit I was wrong before, and I apologize to you. But Benjamin didn't do anything wrong. He has always loved you."Maybe you should consider getting back together with him. I promise, I won't interfere anymore.""How can you be so shameless?" Emily retorted mercilessly."Take a look at what kind of people you lot are. Even if all the men in the world died, my babe would never choose Benjamin again."Grace, upon hearing this, mentally gave Emily a thumbs-up."Mrs. Hawkins, I can treat what you said today as a joke. It's better to be honest in life and not try to elevate yourself by belittling others."Susan's face turned pale, looking quite unsightly.Even though she had already lowered herself so much, Grace still didn't show her any respect. This didn't look like the same Grace who used to be submissive to her bullying.Susan wasn't willing to accept defeat.She silently reached into her bag and dialed Benjamin's number. She wanted
"You must avenge me, Ben! Hello? Ben?" Before Susan could finish her sentence, she heard the dial tone.She was so infuriated that she couldn't catch her breath and smashed her phone. "Grace, you vixen!"She couldn't contain her temper, and her face flushed bright red.Seeing that, people around her started gossiping and started to throw weird glances at her.When Susan noticed that, she wished she could find a hole to hide in."Mrs. Hawkins."Just then, a mysterious figure in high heels approached her. With a smile on her face, Linda looked at her and greeted her politely.Susan had no idea who she was. "Who are you?" she asked."It doesn't matter who I am. What's important is that I know Grace."At the mention of Grace, Susan became alert. "Are you with that vixen?"Linda replied, "You've misunderstood, Mrs. Hawkins. I just wanted to invite you to have some tea to talk about Grace. Do you have the time?"Though Susan sensed that Linda had ulterior motives, she wanted to te
"What did she say this time?"Grace's attitude annoyed Benjamin.In his memory, she had always been gentle and meek. He couldn't fathom when she became so strong-willed. Or was this the real her?"Grace, I've heard some rumors about you, and I know you need to increase your performance. Hawkins Group can help you with that."Benjamin was extending an olive branch to Grace."No need," Grace curtly refused him."Is there anything else? If not, please make way."At once, Benjamin felt a surge of anger. "You don't want to accept my help even if you lose miserably?"Grace felt that something was wrong with him today."Lose? There is no such word in my dictionary. Besides, Mr. Hawkins, we're divorced, and Hawkins Group and Amirate are now competitors. I'm sorry, but your goodwill shouldn't be wasted on me.""Hah! You're still as stubborn as ever, Grace."Not wanting to engage with him any longer, she stepped on the gas pedal.This shocked Benjamin.Through the car window, he wat
Timothy eagerly waited for Grace at the airport.He finally saw Grace's car slowly approaching half an hour later. He excitedly waved at her. Shortly after, the car came to a steady stop in front of him."Woohoo, you're finally here, Milady!"Seeing him all dusty and exhausted but still showing no sign of fatigue, Grace said, "Thank you so much for your hard work."He opened the car door and got in. Beaming, he replied, "It's nothing. It's my honor to serve you, Milady."Grace started the engine and asked, "Shall I take you home?""How about we grab a meal first? It's a privilege to dine with you," Timothy responded.Grace raised an eyebrow and asked, "What would you like to eat?"Timothy didn't have any specific preferences."Milady, I'm not a picky person. As long as it's filling, it's good for me."Grace thought for a moment.After that, Timothy took out an exquisite gift box from his bag and handed it to her. "Here you go, Milady, a gift for you.""What's this?" Grace l
