"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
Besides, these rich, young women usually just enjoyed life without taking their work seriously.Their families strongly believed they should learn how to manage the family businesses from Grace, so they naturally regarded her as their idol."I can't help it. I need to take a photo with my idol for my social media! It's bound to get lots of likes.""I'll get an autograph as well! Then I'm going to frame it and hang it in my living room.""Celia, you coming?"Celia looked completely puzzled. She couldn't understand how her friends could regard Grace as their idol."No. You … " She didn't even get to finish her sentence because her new companions couldn't be bothered to listen. They were already rushing excitedly toward Grace."Ms. Lewis, may I take a photo with you?" one of the women asked.Grace was caught off guard by their sudden appearance as they ran toward her. "I'm sorry, but I have to decline your request," she responded politely when confronted with so many unfamiliar
Celia reached out with the intention of slapping Grace back. However, Timothy firmly grabbed her arm and said, "Touch her and see what happens!"Celia struggled but couldn't break free. "Grace, tell him to let go of me," she said.As the young women watched the scene unfold, they exchanged glances of disapproval. Their aversion to Celia grew stronger."Ms. Hawkins, what you did to my idol was totally unacceptable. Stay away from me from now on.""What makes you think you can defame my idol as you please? Why don't you take a good look at yourself?""I had heard about your bad reputation, but I thought it was just rumors. Now it seems that they were all true."The young women quickly distanced themselves from Celia.Celia was fuming. "Why didn't you say this when you were taking my stuff? Now you turn against me because of her!" she said furiously."Heh, your stuff! It's all worthless junk. I gave it to my maid a long time ago.""Exactly, those are just minor favors. Did you th
The person got excited when they heard about juicy news that could potentially damage someone's reputation. "Can you tell me which female celebrity this is about? I'm prepared for it."Celia calmly stated, "It's about Grace Lewis, the one from Amirate Corporation. I have evidence of her promiscuous behavior."Upon hearing this, the reporter's excitement vanished.In a city as large as Pamore, someone would have already given a heads-up. Therefore, no media outlet dared to invade Grace's privacy anymore."Oh, what kind of evidence?" The person asked, seeming uninterested, but Celia didn't seem to notice.She was still determined to reveal Grace's true colors this time so that everyone could get a good look at her."I'll send the photos to your email. You must make sure to publish the news," she said."Sure," the other person responded in a dismissive manner, but Celia still eagerly sent the photos.She thought she would find some gossip about Grace on the news the next day. But
"Remember what we discussed today. If you insist on getting yourself into trouble, there won't be anyone else to blame but yourself." Benjamin said.After numerous assurances, Celia finally left the office.When she was gone, Benjamin stared out the window with a stern expression. He was so lost in thought that he didn't realize that Larry had entered his office. Benjamin averted his gaze and asked, "What's the matter?""I've noticed that someone has been aggressively acquiring our company's shares recently. Given the way things are shaping up, it's clear they have malicious intent," Larry stated honestly."What have you got?" Benjamin asked."The other party is being extremely cautious, and there haven't been any leaks yet. But our people are tracking them closely, so if they make another move, we'll definitely be able to uncover some clues," Larry answered."Right, let's refrain from doing anything that might tip them off," Benjamin remarked."Yes, Mr. Hawkins," Larry respon
"Grace, I admit I made a mistake in the past. If I had known that I would be engaged to you, I wouldn't have turned it down. "But it's not too late. You're single, and I am too. Whenever you're ready, I can be your choice," Timothy confessed.After saying this, he intended to leave her room.However, Grace stopped him. "Timothy, I hope you understand that you deserve better. There's no need to waste your time on me."He responded, "You'll always be the best in my eyes. Milady, don't feel pressured. "My feelings for you are my own, and whether you choose me or not, it's entirely up to you. I can handle the result, no matter what it is."With those words, Timothy left the office.However, Grace found herself troubled and distracted throughout the entire day because of his words.During this time, she had mainly been friends with Timothy and nothing more.But he was just as determined as a bull, and he wouldn't give up easily.Grace sighed, forcing herself not to dwell on the
