At this time, there was the sound of a top-notch sports car engine. Out of the crowd of expensive cars, a sleek, royal blue sports car stopped in front of Grace and Zoey. Caleb's right arm was still in a cast, and he got down from the passenger seat. "Gracie, I'm here!"Grace looked worriedly at the cast on Caleb's right arm. "Your arm hasn't fully recovered yet, and you're already running around."She had come back to the country secretly in order for Caleb to continue recuperating in Frenda, but he had still followed her here. "It's because I missed you! Since my injury is fine, how could I not come back to accompany you?"Caleb glanced at Benjamin and snorted coldly, as if indicating that this was his territory. He motioned to the chauffeur to give the keys to Grace and said, "You'd better drive today.""You still trust me?"Grace looked at the key in her hand with a hint of hesitance in her eyes. In the nights following the car accident, she would occasionally jolt awa
Grace stood still. "Slap yourself in the face, kneel down, and apologize! You still need to do both of these things. What are you being so arrogant for?"Yvonne was enraged. "Are you crazy? Why would I kneel down to a woman like you?"The cold, indifferent expression on Grace's face was what she hated the most. She hated the fact that she had failed to kill Grace and had gotten herself into a load of trouble instead. "It's fine if you don't want to kneel. In any case, once the baby is born, you'll still have to go to jail. I have plenty of time to watch you reap the rewards you sowed." Grace smiled sharply. "Even if I go to jail, I will still give birth to the fruit of love between Benjamin and I. Our bond will never be broken," Yvonne snorted coldly. "Unlike you. You had nothing even after three years of marriage, not even an egg!"Grace's gaze turned chilly at once. This was her ultimate trigger. The most humiliating thing she had heard during that marriage was this!S
Although she knew there was no need to do so, Grace still looked toward the sound of the voices. It was Benjamin and Yvonne, her old friends. She started to ponder what a small place Pamore was. Yvonne pulled on Benjamin's hand, leading him into the shop. At the sight of them looking like a couple, Grace's heart sank. An indescribable sense of bitterness swept over her, and it was as if time stood still. She had just heard the news of their engagement, and now she had run into them shopping for their wedding rings … In their three years of marriage, the only thing that Benjamin had ever given her was that wedding ring. He hadn't even bothered to get her measurements, so she had been reduced to measuring it secretly while he had slept. Now, he had come personally with Yvonne to choose wedding rings at the jewelry store. Grace only felt a sense of betrayal. She had been betrayed by her own foolish self in the past. She felt some pressure on her shoulder, and Caleb app
"As the fiancé of the Quine family's daughter or as my ex-husband?" Grace spoke each word carefully."Think for yourself. Which identity makes you qualified?"Benjamin was taken aback, realizing he had crossed a line.He was the least qualified person to ask such a question, as he was now choosing an engagement ring with someone else.At once, Benjamin walked to Yvonne's side. "Let's go."Yvonne's eyes gleamed with triumph. "But we haven't picked a ring yet.""We can go somewhere else."Yvonne quickly followed him and looped her arms around his before saying softly, "Wait for me."After they left, the smile on Grace's face faded."Are you still upset?" Caleb looked at her."If you say another word, I'll tell Aaron that you're bullying me," Grace threatened.Caleb quickly begged for mercy. "Please don't. Aaron asked me to take care of you. I'll be in trouble if you tell him that."When they returned to Lewis Manor, Timothy had been sitting in the living room for a while.Se
"I'll explain it to the public," Benjamin said, then decisively left.The moment he left, Richard threw his cup at the door.He took a deep breath before making a call. "I need you to do something. Make it clean.""Grace Lewis." His eyes shone with ruthlessness. "Let me teach you a lesson and let you know the power of the Quine family in Pamore."…A week later, it was time for Amirate's meeting with Barnes Group to discuss software updates.Grace and Luke went together.This time, the other directors of Barnes Group would also attend the meeting. They were going to discuss further technological innovations.As they entered the conference room, Grace noticed the tense atmosphere. Albert and Benjamin were sitting there in silence."Why the serious look, Mr. Barnes?" she asked after putting down her bag.Without a word, Albert crossed his hands on the table. His once cheerful eyes now showed clear frustration.He turned to Nicole and said, "Explain the situation to Ms. Lewis."
Albert had the same doubts as Nicole. "Are you joking, Ms. Lewis? Perhaps while we're talking, a hacker has already cracked it.""Trust me. That won't happen." Grace confidently leaned back in her chair and whispered to Luke, "Is he here yet?""He'll be here in ten minutes," Luke replied.Smiling, Grace exuded confidence. "Everyone, just follow me downstairs to meet someone."Everyone in the room was puzzled and even thought that she was kidding."Are you really asking everyone here to welcome someone at a time like this?""Doesn't she understand how serious the situation is now?""This is ridiculous!"Grace paid no attention to these comments. As she stood up, she told everyone present, "Don't regret it."Suddenly, Benjamin stood up. "I'll go with you."Though Albert felt uneasy, he had no choice but to follow the two major shareholders.With the president following along, how could the others stay behind? Naturally, the directors followed suit.With Grace in the lead, a l
"Am I right, Ms. Pate?" Grace looked at Nicole with a faint smile.At being suddenly called out, Nicole smiled awkwardly. "You're right, Ms. Lewis."As Grace fidgeted with her blue diamond ring on her finger, she looked at Nicole with a sharp gaze. "Why did you come in so late, Ms. Pate?""Me?" Nicole pointed at herself. "I went to the restroom. Can't I attend to my nature calls?""I'm afraid it's not as simple as a restroom break." Grace took the documents Luke handed her and threw them all in front of Nicole."Weren't you informing your men who were bottom-fishing Barnes' stock to stop?"Albert picked up the documents. He only read one page and immediately realized what she meant.His voice became notably lower, like the calm before a storm. "Ms. Pate, please explain."Although there was a dense mass of documents in front of her, Nicole hadn't even looked at them.She was growing anxious, for she couldn't believe that Grace had discovered her secret moves.Grace smiled. "Th
"That's none of your business," Benjamin said coldly."My crisis has been resolved, but I had to make some sacrifices." Albert handed a bottle of water to Benjamin. "What about you? I heard you're about to get engaged.""I haven't decided yet."Benjamin pushed away the bottle of water and left.…On the way back, Victor suddenly asked, "Was the one who spoke up for you Benjamin?"Grace was annoyed at his words. "He wasn't speaking up for me. He invested in the project too!""Well, he's not bad-looking. But since he's not interested in women, he's not suitable for you. It's good that you divorced him." He nodded.Speechless, she thought, "His mouth is really …""Yes, you're right. That's why I divorced him."Back then when she had married Benjamin, Victor had been far away across the ocean, unable to travel back due to his responsibilities.To check Grace's husband's character, he had secretly hacked into Benjamin's computer and thoroughly checked it. Surprisingly, he had fou
