"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

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

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

"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

"Those who can stand toe to toe with him are undoubtedly individuals of equal excellence," Linda continued.Grace understood the underlying message in her words.However, she hadn't expected such words to come from an assistant. "Ms. Snow, you're certainly diligent in your work, even showing concern for the boss's personal life. "But I must remind you that your involvement seems a bit too extensive," Grace responded.Linda hadn't anticipated Grace's straightforwardness. Therefore, she had no reason to hide anything. "Ms. Lewis, I'm considering Mr. Fulton's best interests as well. After all, if you and Mr. Fulton were to become a couple, the rumors and gossip wouldn't be pleasant. "Perhaps you wouldn't mind, but what about Mr. Fulton? Do you think he wouldn't mind?" Linda asked.Just as she finished speaking, Xander returned with the pastries.He opened the door and immediately sensed the tension in the car. He looked concernedly at Grace and asked, "What's wrong?"Linda's w
