Yvonne continued, "I'm not acting. If I hadn't done this, I wouldn't have been able to see you at all.""Now that you've seen me, what difference does it make? Are you still acting in front of me?" Benjamin asked callously. There was a hint of contempt in his eyes. If it hadn't been for Yvonne, he and Grace would never have reached this stage. Yvonne burst into tears. She reached out to pull on Benjamin's arm, but he shook her off. Yvonne couldn't help but laugh bitterly. "What, I'm not even allowed to touch you? But … don't forget that you Hawkins will always owe my family! It's a debt that you will owe us forever." Benjamin clenched his fists soundlessly. This was the issue. He had no way to refute her. Yvonne had always used this against him, leaving him no choice but to concede to her."If you say something too many times, it will lose its power," Benjamin said coldly, a hint of warning in his tone.Yvonne said recklessly, "Then, I think that this is the last time
The more she spoke, the more agitated Yvonne became. She ground her teeth as if she were about to tear Grace to pieces in the next moment. Upon hearing her threat, Benjamin pushed her away immediately. He wasn't surprised that something so venomous had come out of Yvonne's mouth. But he would no longer give her the chance. Without hesitating for even a moment, Benjamin turned around and left. He didn't care how much Yvonne screamed at him. He just acted as if he hadn't heard anything. As soon as he left the ward, he went to Richard, who was standing at the end of the corridor. He kept walking toward him. He hadn't seen Richard for a few months, and it seemed that the latter had aged a lot all of a sudden. His hair was streaked with white at his temple, and there was a sense of fatigue in his expression. Richard didn't know how demented Yvonne was. In fact, he thought that Yvonne and Benjamin had had a good conversation. So he raised his eyebrows, his lips curling u
The woman stepped on the gas pedal. She had a wild impulse to destroy Grace. If only Grace disappeared from this world, then she would be the chief designer for Pamore's fashion show, without question. That way, no one would be able to take that position from her anymore. May gripped the wheel tightly. Right at that moment, a Bentley suddenly stopped in front of Grace's car, and May abruptly stopped driving as well.Benjamin had asked Larry to check Grace's whereabouts, and he had sped all the way here. Once he parked the car, he hurriedly opened the door and got out. Grace frowned. Benjamin was like a piece of gum that she couldn't get rid of. "Grace!" The moment he saw her, Benjamin's emotions flooded out. He really wanted to make it up to her. He wanted to compensate her for the wrongs he had committed in the past. "Mr. Hawkins, do you have a lot of free time?" Grace's tone was frivolous. She didn't really want to give him any attention. Benjamin pressed his
Benjamin stood stiffly where Grace had left him, feeling like there was a chill piercing through him. Did this mean that she wasn't even going to give him a chance? Benjamin felt like things had completely gone out of control. It seemed that he would never be able to catch her. He felt inexplicably anxious. At that moment, May drove past him in her car. Benjamin turned and frowned. He watched May leave in the same direction as Grace, and for some unknown reason, his heart did a somersault in his chest. He had a bad feeling about this. Without any hesitation, he followed them in his car. Meanwhile, Grace called Emily while she drove. "Babe, my design draft was passed! I got the position of chief designer for this year's fashion show. It's going to be held in Pamore!" When Emily heard this, she was filled with joy. "Congratulations, babe! Shall we celebrate tonight?" Grace said hurriedly, "I'm meeting Xander tonight." "Wow! What is this? Hurry up and tell your best
"Benjamin …" Grace shouted loudly in a hoarse voice. No matter how much she shouted, Benjamin didn't react at all. In the driver's seat of the Volkswagen, May was also shocked by this sudden turn of events. She hadn't expected someone to come out of nowhere and save Grace with no regard for their own life. But right now, she couldn't stay here. Without hesitation, May spun the steering wheel quickly, even though her car was severely damaged. She left the scene at a high speed. Grace forced herself to calm down and called emergency services. "Hello, 911? There's been a car accident here, just along Pamore Main Road …" As she looked at the unconscious Benjamin, her hands shook. The ambulance came very quickly and took Benjamin to the hospital urgently.In the hospital corridor, Grace gradually calmed down and called Luke. "Luke, I got into a car accident." Luke immediately became alarmed. "Are you okay? Where are you? I'll come over right away." "There's no need …"
"The patient has an external injury on his forehead where he got cut by glass. We've already treated and bandaged it. He also has a second-degree concussion, but other than that, there aren't any big problems."Upon hearing this, Grace breathed a sigh of relief. Thankfully, Benjamin was fine. "Thank you, doctor. My son is fine! He's fine." Susan thanked him profusely, feeling like a weight had been lifted off her shoulders. "The patient is awake. We'll be shifting him to a ward soon.""That's good. That's good."After the doctor left, the nurses wheeled Benjamin out of the operation theater.There were bandages wrapped around his head and a few dried streaks of blood on his face. He didn't look as refined as he usually did. Susan dashed over, almost in tears. "Ben, are you alright?"Celia, who had remained quiet until then, also said in concern, "Ben, you scared us! Good thing you're alright."Benjamin looked at them. He comforted them. "I'm alright. Don't worry."Susa
He had thought that their relationship would become less tense after this incident. However, Grace just took a check out of her pocket. Benjamin's face darkened. "What do you mean by this?"Grace raised her eyebrows. "A new Bentley only costs 5 million dollars. The remaining balance is just to express my gratitude to you, Mr. Hawkins."Benjamin was furious. 20 million dollars? She was just throwing money at him. He had only done what he did out of a basic instinct to protect her. That was all. Why did it seem so different in her eyes? Seeing his grim expression, she remained silent. Grace continued, "20 million dollars should be enough. If you don't think it's enough, just tell me a number.""Grace! What do you think of me?" Benjamin looked angry. He was still a patient. Didn't she care about the relationship between them? Susan and Celia were watching beside them, flabbergasted. Was 20 million dollars nothing to Grace? There was even a hint of envy in their
What Benjamin had done today couldn't erase how much he had hurt Grace in the past. "If you have so much time on your hands, then read more books and gossip less. Mind your own business!" Grace snapped at Frederick in a hostile tone.Her stance was clear. Frederick laughed awkwardly. "Alright then, let me go and see how Ben is."With that, he escaped as soon as possible. When Grace came out from the hospital, she got a call from Luke. "I've checked the car. The owner of the Volkswagen is May Elliot, and she was the one driving the car today."Upon hearing that name, Grace snorted. "Her target must have been me." "Yes, Ms. Lewis. But it doesn't seem like a premeditated crime. It seems as if she just committed a crime on the spur of the moment."Grace pressed her lips together. "Who else does she have in her family?""I've also checked that and found that she's an orphan. She grew up in the orphanage, and after that she got into Pamore University based on her own ability.
