Chapter 241 It Would Be Great If We Weren't Family

Without hesitation, Benjamin replied, "I only want her."Feeling frustrated, Grace declined, "Mr. Hawkins, this might not be appropriate."Benjamin's expression grew serious, the displeasure evident on his face. But he couldn't forcefully insist in front of so many people, so Geraldine eventually led him away.After they left, Elizabeth hurried over to Grace and asked, "Are you okay, Grace?"Grace returned to her senses. Shaking her head, she said, "I'm fine, Grandma. Are you feeling better?""I'm fine, just the usual ..."Ava came downstairs, holding the ear of a boy covered in paint. They were talking. The boy had two paintbrushes, and his tearful face was distressed as Ava led him down."You idiot, look at the mess you've made!"The boy burst into tears, his cries echoing through the hall.Elizabeth looked displeased and scolded coldly, "Enough. Don't embarrass yourself."Ava hadn't expected that she would make Benjamin look so disheveled instead of Grace. If Benjamin foun

Chapter 242 Burnt Bridges

Geraldine couldn't suppress a self-amused smile as she saw Benjamin walking away. She was sober now. She looked down and clenched her fists.Her face showed how frustrated and embarrassed she felt after being rejected. She couldn't help thinking about the incident downstairs when Benjamin protected Grace almost instinctively ...Weren't they divorced? Why did it seem like there was still something between them? Geraldine's eyes darkened at the thought. After Benjamin finished showering and returned to the hall in fresh clothes, he searched around but found no sign of Grace.Seeing this, Elizabeth sighed, saying, "Grace has already left …"Benjamin was surprised. He sounded a bit reproachful as he asked, "Grandma, didn't you ask her to stay?""Tell me the truth. What are you thinking? I told you to take care of Grace, but you insisted on causing trouble. Now that you're divorced, you're eagerly chasing after her. Isn't that foolish?" Elizabeth was clearly unhappy with him.

Chapter 243 A Potent Remedy

Emily interrupted Grace's thoughts. "By the way, since you're here, I suddenly remembered something. We had a customer who specifically requested that you design a dress for her." "What kind of dress?" Grace asked.Emily flipped through the customer order forms on the counter and handed it to Grace. "The offer is three million dollars, and there's no deadline. As long as you're available within six months, it's fine."Grace raised an eyebrow and took the order.The order was quite straightforward, with no extravagant details, only leaving a name and a phone number."So weird. Does she have any specific requirements for the dress?""She didn't say anything. She just mentioned that she wants to discuss it with you in person whenever you're available. Should we take this order?"Grace smiled, looking pleased. "Why not? Accept it. This can be considered a big order for our boutique, so we should definitely take it."Leave this matter to me. I've been busy at the office recently, b

Chapter 244 Defiance

Timothy's project received unanimous approval.After the meeting, Grace was the first to leave the conference room, followed closely by Luke, who was reporting on work.As Grace and Luke approached the office door, they were suddenly called out, "Grace!" Following the voice, Geraldine walked gracefully in front of Grace.Grace was surprised. Since her divorce, she had completely severed ties with the Hawkins family. She hadn't been in contact with any of the relatives. Geraldine had never visited her either.How had Geraldine found her here?Despite her confusion, Grace politely asked, "Ms. Geraldine, what brings you here?"Geraldine raised the thermos and smiled. "Grandma asked me to bring some chicken soup for you."Grace nodded. She closed the file and handed the documents to Luke. "Proceed as you suggested.""Yes, Ms. Lewis."After Luke left, Grace turned her attention to Geraldine. "Ms. Geraldine, come and have a seat in my office."Geraldine agreed and followed Grace

Chapter 245 Stealing Data

"Well, even if you're not with Benjamin, I will always treat you like a sister," Geraldine added.As soon as she said that, there was a knock on the office door. Grace set aside her bowl, took a tissue to wipe her mouth, and said, "Come in."Timothy entered the office, carrying a stack of documents. Spotting another person in the room, he resumed his usual serious demeanor. "Ms. Lewis, these documents need your approval."Grace nodded slightly. "Just put them on my desk.""Yes, Ms. Lewis."Geraldine was shocked to see Timothy. "Timothy, what are you doing here?"Upon hearing this, Timothy raised his eyes and looked at Geraldine. As Benjamin's long-time friend, how could he not recognize Geraldine? Moreover, he knew one of her secrets.With a faint smile, Timothy replied, "I work at Amirate Corporation!"Geraldine was really surprised.Why was the heir of the Donegan family willing to work at Amirate Corporation instead of the prestigious Donegan Enterprises? Geraldine want

Chapter 246 She's Not Worth My Concern

"Now that you have that in hand, things are about to get more interesting …"After hanging, Geraldine casually played with her phone, and her eyes shimmered excitedly. She hadn't expected that a visit to Grace's company would be so fruitful.She smirked, thinking, "Oh, Grace! Get ready to accept your loss at tomorrow's bidding!"…After Geraldine left, Timothy seized the opportunity to return to Grace's office. He appeared more serious than usual and inquired, "Grace, what was Geraldine doing here?"Grace looked up at him and teased, "Seems like you're quite concerned about her?"Timothy scoffed, "Concerned about her? She's not worthy."He then approached Grace with an unprecedented seriousness in his gaze."Milady, Geraldine is very mischievous. We should be careful."His gaze shifted to the side, where the documents were."As everyone knows, the Dunhill project has a huge profit margin. Many people are eyeing it. I'm afraid Geraldine might do something …"Upon hearing hi

Chapter 247 Inevitable Victory

Grace smiled and extended her hand. "Hello, Mr. Jackson!""Ms. Lewis, you're truly outstanding. Under your leadership, Amirate Corporation is gradually reaching new heights.""Thank you, Mr. Jackson.""You're here for the Dunhill Project as well? Our companies are going to compete head-to-head today.""We're all just playing to our strengths, you know?"With a sly smile, Timothy replied, "Well then, Mr. Jackson, let's wait and see."The atmosphere tensed up. Grace sensed Timothy's hostility toward Liam."Sure. We'll meet later." Liam glanced meaningfully at Grace before leaving confidently."If I'm not mistaken, he's our biggest competitor today," Grace said calmly.Impressed by Grace's insight, Timothy teased, "Milady, I find myself admiring you more and more.""Stop flattering and speak sensibly.""I'm speaking the truth."Timothy looked disdainfully at Liam and continued, "Seeing his confident behavior, if he gets what he wants, his pride will skyrocket.""That's not ne

Chapter 248 Data Error

Geraldine was genuinely surprised and somewhat uneasy, but she still mustered a greeting to Grace. "What a coincidence, Grace! Are you also participating in the bidding?"Grace chuckled lightly and replied, "It's for our company's new project. Take a look. By the way, Ms. Geraldine, when did you start working at Jackson Realty?"Geraldine was astonished that Grace knew about this. Had Grace also learned about the stolen data?Geraldine felt nervous. She clutched her clothes and smiled. "I've been working there for quite some time. It's just that you didn't know."Grace acknowledged with an "oh" and looked at herself in the mirror."The Dunhill project is indeed excellent. It involves large-scale crude oil and mining projects, ensuring profits for the company for at least the next five years," Grace commented.Geraldine felt a sense of pride upon hearing this."Really? With such a huge profit margin, we won't have to worry about business performance for the next five years if we

Chapter 249 Doomed

Geraldine was intimidated by Liam's imposing demeanor and dared not take another breath. When she returned to the hall, the bid was already underway."Alright, next, we will proceed with Project 0781. The participating companies are Hawkins Group, Amirate Corporation, Jackson Realty, and Draco Corporation ..."The host flipped through the cards in his hand and concluded, "The winning enterprise for this project is Amirate Corporation. Congratulations!"Grace and Timothy stood up as the host's words fell, and enthusiastic applause erupted in the hall.After the bid was over, Liam called the supplier. "Mr. Grey, there may be some changes in our cooperation. Can you terminate the agreement?""What? A breach of contract penalty of five million dollars? Mr. Grey, can we discuss this matter?"After the other party had finished speaking, Liam hung up the phone, and the beeping sound echoed in the handset. Liam fumed in frustration. "Damn it, these bastards!"Gerladine observed him ca

Chapter 250 Don't Judge Me by My Past

Geraldine tried to snatch Grace's phone.However, she missed the mark, as Grace deftly avoided her."Stealing company secrets can lead to imprisonment. If I hand this video over to the police, will they arrest you?" Grace said with a sly smile.Geraldine looked at her in disbelief, her eyes filling with panic. She realized something and quickly changed her expression, pleading, "Grace, please ... please don't!"If Grace gave it to the police, her life would be over!"I'm begging you, Grace! Don't give it to the police. I was truly wrong ..." Geraldine continued pleading incessantly, hoping Grace would spare her.Timothy smirked as he watched from the side, with a touch of mockery in the corner of his mouth. "Why take such risks in the first place? Ms. Geraldine, this probably isn't your first time, right?"Geraldine couldn't afford to think about that now. She urgently pulled Grace's arm, lowering herself. "Grace, I know you're the best. I beg you, give me a chance! I promise
