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.

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

"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

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

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
