Inside Hawkins Manor, Benjamin's housekeeper, Patty, was already awaiting their arrival. She took Benjamin's jacket. When she saw Yvonne behind him, she was stunned."Ms. Quine, I've already prepared your room for you. It's just up these stairs."Yvonne paused in front of the elevator and looked at Patty in disbelief. "Am I not sharing a room with Benjamin?"By allowing her to stay at Hawkins Manor, Benjamin had indirectly agreed to marry her.Therefore, it was only right that they share a room.Benjamin frowned at her statement."Um … " Patty didn't dare say anything.Madam Hawkins had been worried that there would be traces of Grace's existence in the house. So she had asked Patty to prepare a guest room for Yvonne."I need to work. You can go and get some sleep," Benjamin said impassively with a directive glance at Patty."But … " As expected, Yvonne was unrelenting. Patty took the hint from Benjamin and stopped Yvvone from following him. "Ms. Quine, please follow me."

"Why am I the last one to find out that you're home? I can't believe you didn't tell me, Gracie! Was our friendship just a lie?"Grace recognized the voice of her third older brother, Caleb Lewis.Caleb wasn't her biological brother. Her family had adopted him after his parents had abandoned him at birth.Grace didn't look up from her documents. "Take a seat and be quiet. Don't disturb me."It had been three days, and she still needed to get through all the documents Aaron's secretary had given her.In just a day, she had received hundreds of phone calls from various international organizations around the world. She felt flustered.Caleb didn't mind her curtness. He sat down on the couch. "Aaron's being too harsh on you. How does he expect you to get through all of this? He's training you to be his heir, and it's going to be exhausting. "Come with me on my world tour. Think of it as a break.""I don't want to," Grace said as she cleaned up her desk. "Remember the time when

"This ring." Yvonne handed Benjamin a ring. It was a simple ring, but it shone slightly under the light.Benjamin recognized it at first glance. It was the only gift he had given Grace during their three years of marriage.He took the ring and ran his thumb over the inside of the ring, where their initials were inscribed: B & G. He still remembered Grace had asked him to put it on for her. However, he had impatiently replied, "Later."Even so, she had worn it for three years. He had never seen her without it.Yvonne was unhappy to see Benjamin lost in thought as he stared at the ring. Still, she kept a smile on her face. "This looks like an important ring. How could Ms. Lewis have forgotten it? Should we give it back to her, or …""Why should we give it back to her?" Susan immediately chimed in. "That woman looks harmless, but she turned her back on us without warning. She's bad!""I agree." Celia said. "I had a bad feeling about her when she first came here."Benjamin

"There's no harm in a marriage of convenience as long as you don't interfere with each other," Benjamin said candidly."It's no harm for you since all you want is profit. I'm not like you! "I want to fall in love with my wife at first sight. She should be breathtakingly beautiful and incredibly smart. That's the kind of woman I want to marry." Timothy waved a hand. "You wouldn't understand."Benjamin couldn't argue with him on this. He changed the subject back to the expo. "Is there any way we can solve this?"Timothy patted his chest confidently. "The Donegans and Amirate are collaborating on this. All I need to do is make a call. I'm sure Aaron will do me this favor."He picked up his phone and called Aaron.However, Aaron didn't answer. When Timothy called him again, Aaron rejected the call, clearly implying that he wasn't willing to talk to him.Timothy put his phone awkwardly down, feeling embarrassed. His best friend had asked him for help. He had acted so confidently

There were too many people on Emily's side, and Yvonne was mortified by the confrontation. She backed away instinctively, trying to distance herself from Celia.Grace swirled her champagne and turned back to them. "Your sister-in-law's in trouble. Are you not going to stand up for her?" she taunted coldly."What are you guys doing over there?" An angry voice echoed.The crowd parted to reveal Benjamin, who was striding toward them with a dark expression.He saw Grace immediately.It had been some time since they had last met. She had put on a little weight and looked healthier—better, at least, than how she had looked when she had been with him.Her smile was almost as bright as the spotlights overhead. Her tailored dress complemented her complexion, making her look like a different woman. He couldn't take his eyes off her.When Celia saw her brother, she regained her courage and pointed at Grace and Emily. "Benjamin, they're bullying us!"Benjamin looked around, taking in
