Yvonne continued, "It's not hard if you want me to tell the truth. But you have to promise me to send me away from Pamore and give me a large sum of money, enough for the rest of my life." "Okay." His answer surprised Yvonne. She had never expected Benjamin to go to such lengths for Grace. "Benjamin, why regret it now?" "You don't have to waste your time. My patience is limited." Yvonne shook her head slightly. "Benjamin, I'm not stupid! I know you won't let me leave if I tell you now. Unless … you can personally help me leave. Once I'm out, I'll tell you the truth." Benjamin remained silent and looked at her in disgust. "No one has ever attempted to threaten me."With that, he ignored the surprised look on Yvonne's face and ordered the bodyguards to come in. "Hand her over to Shane. We've already exceeded the two-hour time limit." Yvonne panicked, realizing that Benjamin wasn't joking. "No, Benjamin, I ... I ..." Benjamin didn't respond, but the bodyguard reache
Grace lowered her gaze and remained silent. Benjamin continued, "I know Yvonne has done a lot to hurt you, and she will face the consequences. You must be curious about why I got her out of prison, but it's all for today." Upon hearing this, Grace looked up at Benjamin. "Mr. Hawkins, thank you for everything you've done, but it's pointless." Benjamin panicked and exclaimed, "No, Grace! How can it be pointless?" Grace didn't answer him, but deep down, she knew. Even if nothing had happened between Benjamin and Yvonne, nothing could fix the damage he had done to her. The plane crash had opened her eyes to who Benjamin truly was. She now knew not to make the same mistakes.So, she continued, "Mr. Hawkins, happiness can't be forced. Words can't heal a wounded heart. I've let go of our relationship. Please don't waste more time on me." Once Grace finished speaking, she turned away without hesitation. Benjamin tried to reach out to her, but he couldn't even grab her clothes.
"Grandpa heard you were back and specifically instructed the kitchen to prepare your favorite dishes." Grace's face lit up. "Wow, I'm so spoiled!" "You little glutton," Victor teased, and as the siblings bantered, they got into the family vehicle. Lewis Manor sprawled across thousands of acres, and it took over ten minutes to drive from the airstrip to the main estate. When they got there, the staff were already waiting at the entrance. Upon seeing Grace, they greeted her with great respect, "Hello, Ms. Lewis!" Grace smiled in acknowledgment and walked inside.It was rare for her to return home, so all three brothers had gathered. Harold was delighted, too. He pulled Grace aside and chatted with her for a long time. He finally let her go when she yawned repeatedly around 10 pm. "Alright! You've traveled for such a long time. You must be tired. Rest now. Don't forget the chess match with this old man when you wake up tomorrow." Grace nodded. "Okay. Goodnight, Grandpa!
Her clothes fit her perfectly, right down to the size. It was completely in line with her style as well. "Caleb, your taste is as good as ever," Grace praised him. Basking in the compliment, Caleb replied, "Well, of course. It depends on who I'm picking clothes for." Grace remarked, "My future sister-in-law is in for a treat!" Caleb hastily interrupted, "What sister-in-law? I don't even have a girlfriend. Stop that nonsense." Grace chuckled. "What's the big deal? Don't be shy. Hurry up. We should get going." To avoid being recognized by fans on the streets, Caleb deliberately disguised himself before driving off in a sports car with Grace. They arrived at the most famous local commercial street, the paradise for luxury shopping. It integrated high-end dining and shopping, making it the preferred spot for shopping. Grace got out of the car first and waited on the side of the road for Caleb to park the car. However, soon after, she heard a woman say, "Grace, it is you
"Don't leave just yet. We rarely see each other. You don't have to feel bad, even if you're not doing well. We won't make fun of you." Shirley looked at her with sympathy. "It's quite a coincidence. I happened to be having a meal with some classmates. Why not join us? After all, you will never get into any of the high-end restaurants. Come and experience it with us." Grace smiled and chastised in annoyance, "Shirley, are you ever going to stop? "You were always behind me when we were in school. Why are you still behaving like this now? You're acting arrogant just because you have some money. "Don't you know there will always be someone better? Be careful. You might bite off more than you can chew." Shirley hadn't expected Grace's mouth to be as sharp as ever. She had never managed to take advantage of Grace before, and now she couldn't argue with her.However, this only strengthened her determination to give Grace a hard time. Today, she would teach Grace a lesson and ma
Grace's words made Shirley feel nervous, and she instinctively took her bag. "Humph, you're just a country bumpkin. What do you know? I can't be bothered to argue with you." However, her two lackeys exchanged a glance. They didn't believe Shirley would carry an outdated bag either. But they thought she was acting off. However, they remained loyal and said, "Shirley, let's ignore her. We'll let her know later that we're very different people." Shirley felt better to hear that. Grace chuckled inwardly, curious to see what tricks they had up their sleeves.…Meanwhile, Caleb parked the car and exited the parking lot, but he couldn't find Grace. He quickly called her. However, Grace immediately hung up and texted him. "Caleb, something came up. I'll contact you later." Caleb sighed and replied with a simple "Okay." Shirley took Grace to the most upscale local restaurant in Frenda. It was a members-only place, and those who could afford to consume here were wealthy or infl
Most of the people who usually hung out with Shirley were as influential as her. They looked down on people like Grace, who had a low status but had still insisted on fitting into their circle in school. So, as the conversation continued, they became more and more impolite. "Grace, where have you been working recently? How much do you earn in a month?" "Are you married? Do you have a boyfriend?" "Do you need help getting introduced to someone?" Grace remained silent. At this point, Shirley deliberately interrupted them. "What kind of questions are you asking? Grace isn't like us. Every one of us here comes from a wealthy background. "We don't have to work and can easily take over the family business. Grace might even be doing odd jobs right now! Don't make fun of her. We're all very different." Laughter erupted from the crowd, but Grace looked down, unaffected by their words. However, one female classmate noticed that Grace's clothes seemed to be limited-edition Chane
Grace merely nodded and continued, "One of the top streamers is Calista, right? I heard she got caught for tax evasion and was fined several million dollars!"She's merely a streamer, yet she committed such fraud. This must have something to do with her investors. This matter has caused quite a stir. I'm sure everyone has heard about it."Blair began to feel anxious. That incident had significantly impacted her family, and the company had almost gone bankrupt because of it. But how did Grace know about all this? Grace ignored him and looked at Nora, one of Shirley's lackeys. "Your family is in the aquaculture business. It must have suffered considerable losses due to the typhoon. I heard you even borrowed money from loan sharks. Have you cleared the debt?" Nora's expression instantly fell. Grace then turned her attention to Kimberly. "I heard your family was affected by the recession last year and still hasn't recovered. You owe the bank a lot of money. Is that true?" K
