Three days later, both parties' lawyers were gathered at City Hall for the procedure. Grace and Benjamin were there on time. When they got the forms, Grace filled them in quickly and without hesitation. In contrast, Benjamin hadn't even started. She gave him a side-eye and said emotionlessly, "I'm a busy woman, Mr. Hawkins."Benjamin's face fell when she rushed him, and he finally started filling in the forms. When they were done, they handed them to the staff member through the window."Wait," Benjamin suddenly said as the female staff member was about to stamp the divorce certificate, making her stop.She had never thought that the first couple she would have to deal with today would be the president of Hawkins Group and his secretary.At first, she had thought that they had fallen in love and come to get married, but this was even more shocking. They were getting a divorce!Benjamin turned to Grace and asked in the same high and mighty tone he had always used with her, "Are

Yvonne was overjoyed. After so many years of waiting, Benjamin was finally hers. If he proposed to her right now, she would say yes immediately.However, the star of the show still hadn't raised his glass. If anything, his face was grim, and his moodiness was obvious as he pressed his lips together without saying a word.The image of Grace leaving was still replaying in his mind. It refused to go away.Celia noticed the awkward atmosphere and said, "Say something, Benjamin! It's no fun if you don't say anything.""Yeah, Benjamin. That jinx is gone now, so you should be the happiest one here. Why aren't you smiling?" Susan asked.Then, she looked at Yvonne with satisfaction. "All I want now is for you to marry Yvonne as soon as possible, so I can have a grandson."Yvonne's face flushed. "Benjamin and I would need time for that, Mrs. Hawkins."Benjamin scanned the three of them before replying in a cold, aloof tone, "No one should tell Grandma about my divorce."Yvonne froze. Wha

"I respect your decision," Zoey replied decisively. "Call me if you need anything. I'll be there.""Thank you." Grace had just hung up when Emily leaned over."What are you going to do? That bitch is so infuriating!""Aaron's taking me to a banquet hosted by Pamore Chamber of Commerce tomorrow night. Every single rich person in the city will be there. That's where I'll expose her."Emily cheered her on. "Heck yeah, babe! Destroy them!"The next night, people showed up wearing flashy outfits that shone under the blinding spotlights. It was a lively event.Grace showed up fashionably late with her floor-length, diamond-studded dress. It was handmade and showed off her figure perfectly in a luxurious yet elegant way.No one could look away from her. Her makeup was stunning, accentuating her beauty. It gave her a sharp, cold look that intimidated people.Every rich girl who read the tabloids started gossiping when they noticed Grace. When Celia showed up with a champagne glass

Benjamin couldn't answer her. He had always sided with Sussan and Celia, and he had never really listened to what Grace had to say. Was that one of the reasons she had divorced him?Guilt flooded him when he thought about that. "Apologize," he ordered Celia with a stormy look. She lowered her head but refused to speak.Aaron came to Grace's side. He had a domineering expression on his face and was clearly seething."You think you can heal three years of humiliation and the slander you've spread after the divorce?" After the bullying Grace had suffered at the hands of the Hawkins, the mere sight of them disgusted him. When his eyes landed on Yvonne, he said, "I've already found the culprit who slandered one of my company's executives."Yvonne nervously tugged at her dress under Aaron's frigid gaze. It couldn't be. There was no way they knew it was her. She had sent those photos anonymously, so she couldn't have gotten exposed."The article was completely baseless and

"Benjamin, why are you negotiating with that unlucky jinx?" Susan grabbed Benjamin's arm. She had never seen him speak so humbly or so open to discussing things with Grace.Besides, Grace had always the one to follow their orders. Why had things changed?She marched over to Grace with an arrogant expression and tone. "So what if we're slandering you? What reputation do you even have? "You didn't say anything back when our family was yelling at you!" Susan screeched.But when she noticed Benjamin's expression fall, she realized her mistake.She had just exposed her attitude toward Grace for the past three years.Aaron couldn't take it anymore and glanced at Grace from the side."This is the mother-in-law and sister-in-law you've taken care of for the past three years? What kind of people have you been serving?" he asked.Then he remembered his sister's embarrassment and composed himself. "It's your choice, but if you end up embarrassing the family, I'll hold you responsible."

At that moment, the police showed up and walked over once they confirmed who they were supposed to arrest. "Celia Hawkins, Yvonne Quine, please come with us," a police officer said.Susan quickly tried to stop them when she realized they were going to take Celia and Yvonne away.However, she accidentally tripped over her dress instead. She fell and hit her head, passing out instantly.The police took Celia and Yvonne away while Benjamin carried an unconscious Susan out, bringing the whole fiasco to an end.Now that the ones who should have left were gone, Aaron took Grace to the center of the hall before introducing her."Good evening, everyone. Ms. Grace Lewis has already quit her position as secretary to the president of Hawkins Group."She is now the general manager of Amirate Corporation's Pamore branch. I hope we'll get to work together in the future." Aaron said.He had barely finished talking when the crowd started to whisper amongst themselves."Ms. Lewis sure rises t

On the other hand, the Hawkins family was in a gloomy state. Benjamin was sitting on the couch with a stormy look, and he hadn't said a word in ages. He had just come back from the police station after bailing Yvonne out. He had paid for the boutique's damages, but Grace had insisted on pressing charges because the damage had been too much. Celia was probably going to jail. Benjamin's lawyer estimated her sentence would last at least three years.Susan had just woken up. When she heard that her daughter was going to jail for at least three years, she was shocked."Listen to me, Benjamin! Your sister cannot go to prison!" Susan said shakily, in disbelief. "She's so young, she can't spend her days with those criminals. She would lose her mind!"Son, can't you go talk to Grace? If push came to shove, all you have to do is play nice and let her feel good for a few days, just enough to agree to settling out of court, okay?" she asked.Her tone was almost pleading. It seemed li

"Larry has already contacted a hospital in Frenda. You'll leave for Frenda in three days."Yvonne was reluctant to go abroad. She begged him softly, "I don't want to go, Benjamin. I want to stay here with you and the baby."Benjamin's expression never changed. He didn't budge, so Yvonne grabbed his arm and started crying."Even if you won't do it for the baby, do it for my sister, Danielle. She only died because of her association with your family. You can't do this to me …""I know we were responsible for her death, but you still need to leave."Yvonne slumped onto the couch in response. Benjamin was feeling suffocated under the weight of the sins that had been committed in his house. Just then, Timothy's call came right on time."Bro, have you checked social media?" Timothy asked on the other end. At first, Benjamin thought he was talking about the article that had insulted Grace, so he said, "That's fake news.
