Chapter 51 You Lost

Grace was unconcerned about the outcome of the second round. She focused her attention on the third curve instead. At the crucial moment, she once again overtook Benjamin by a tiny step and ultimately reached the finish line first. Their silent competition had ended with Grace's victory. The people on the viewing stand had all been filled with anxiety. Seeing the race end, they cheered for Grace's victory.This was how horse racing was. No one would know the final result until the last moment.After riding another round as a buffer, Grace reined in her horse in front of Benjamin and leapt down. She was smiling vividly, and as she took off her helmet, her black hair cascaded down her shoulders. Her beauty was so breathtaking that it was impossible to look away from her. She was panting slightly from the race as she said, "Mr. Hawkins, you lost."Grace had once gotten first place in the Queen Cup and received the Queen's praise. She had loved horseback riding ever since sh

Chapter 52 Whatever Amount You Want

Frederick was stunned by his friend's retort. But he just assumed Benjamin was in a bad mood because he had lost. "I haven't got time to ask that flirty woman. I'd rather just avoid people like that.""Really?" Grace's cold voice rang out right behind Frederick, and he jumped in shock.He turned around and flipped out. "Why do you walk so silently?""I'm right here. You can ask me straight to my face." Grace stood with her arms folded, and there was an imposing glare in her eyes. She had obviously heard Frederick insulting her behind her back. Benjamin stood quietly to the side. Although he didn't look directly at Grace, he couldn't help glancing at her a few times. He didn't know why, but he felt perturbed. "Pshh, I was never interested in women like you to begin with. Don't throw yourself at me, and go and find your patron," Frederick flapped his hands contemptuously. Grace walked forward in her high heels, and her demeanor made Frederick take a step back. "Has anyon

Chapter 53 I Just Like Holding Grudges

A misunderstanding?It was a huge misunderstanding!Grace narrowed her eyes dangerously, and the image of this fellow humiliating her flashed vividly through her mind. It wasn't as simple as a tiny misunderstanding. "That's a coincidence. It's just who I am."She was great in all aspects, except for the fact that she loved holding grudges. Remembering Aaron's instructions, Grace felt a sense of satisfaction in teasing Timothy by not telling him her true identity and watching him run around her clumsily. "You'd better stay far away from me, understand?"Timothy wasn't listening at all. Instead, he focused on opening the box. Inside, there was an emerald bracelet that emitted a soft glow, and one look was enough to tell that it was very expensive. It was several hundred times better than the one Yvonne had slapped away in a huff before."Last time I said that I would give you a token of my appreciation. Have a look and see if you like it."Timothy had spent a long time se

Chapter 54 What Are You Going to Do About It

"Ms. Lewis, I couldn't stop him …" The secretary looked awkward. Grace said calmly, "It's okay. Shut the door."Cameron's ribs were much better now, and the bandages on his face had been taken off. "Ms. Lewis, I saw the Barnes Group project proposal. My name isn't on it. Was it overlooked?"Grace twirled a gold pen between her fingers, and her expression was indifferent. "It wasn't overlooked. I didn't tell them to add your name.""Ms. Lewis, we agreed upon this." The smile on Cameron's face had disappeared, and he looked sinister. "It's not courteous to burn your bridges." Grace gazed sharply at Cameron. "You should remember that I am your boss. Naturally, I have reasons for my decision."Cameron gave up all pretense and flattery. He said through gritted teeth, "Ms. Lewis, you're going overboard.""Am I? What are you going to do about it?"Grace laughed indifferently. She took out a thick wad of pictures and tossed them on the table, then gestured at it with her chin.

Chapter 55 I Won't Watch From the Sidelines

The basics of the collaboration between Barnes Group, Hawkins Group, and Amirate Corporation had been settled.After they made sure there were no problems with the contract, they only had to go over the details. As the parties who were providing both funds and manpower, Amirate Corporation and Hawkins Group naturally needed to check everything.A slight oversight in the process could result in millions in profit losses, and no one would want their money to be wasted. Grace opened the project schedule and frowned slightly. "Why haven't any of the people Amirate Corporation provided been added to the exchange project?"It was common practice for the three companies to share strategies. But the document clearly stated that Barnes Group and Hawkins Group would share, and only Amirate Corporation was omitted. "Hawkins Group and Barnes Group have been working on this project until now. It would slow down progress if we added Amirate Corporation's staff members to it. "When there's

Chapter 56 Can We Talk

The department heads could no longer bear it. Keeping their livelihood was the most important thing."Ms. Lewis, we can add them in immediately. We will definitely share resources with the staff from Amirate Corporation!"Someone else chimed in, "I'll send the project proposal to the people involved right now!"Grace nodded and said in a tone that brooked no argument, "Do this within an hour. If it's not done, resign."The department heads agreed hastily. Even though they were still in a meeting, they began making phone calls and arranging for their subordinates to get things done quickly. All of them looked reproachfully at Quinn, which put her in an awkward position. "It looks like Ms. Yancey likes listening to other people's stories." Grace lowered her gaze and laughed scornfully. "Did you think that I got to this position because of my looks? Did you think you could just make things difficult for me?""How could that be? It's all just a misunderstanding. Don't take it to heart,

Chapter 57 What Right Do I Have

"Delete it right now." Benjamin's brows furrowed. "It was not what you think. There's more to it, but you weren't there afterward."Frederick didn't believe him. "How could it not be? She's exactly that kind of person. "If you hadn't made me leave, I would've gone and slapped those two cheating bastards. They should feel ashamed of their adulterous act!"Recalling the lonely expression on Benhamin's face the other day, Frederick felt a rush of injustice on his friend's behalf. The more he talked about the incident, the angrier he became. "She messed with me at the racecourse and even threatened me. I have to let people know her true colors!""Is that so? I'm waiting for you to slap me." Grace's indifferent voice pierced Frederick's ears, making him jerk in surprise."Why the hell are you everywhere?" Frederick shuddered with goosebumps all over his body. How unlucky of him to always get caught red-handed when talking behind someone's back.Grace's arms were folded before her

Chapter 58 Drop Your Nice Act

"Frederick didn't mean it. He misunderstood you, so stop arguing with him." The frustration was overwhelming for Benjamin, who had chased after Grace and pulled at her arm. Grace snatched her arm away. "How nice of you to speak for your friend, Mr. Hawkins. What right do you have to tell me to stop?"Benjamin glanced at Zoey and Emily behind Grace, both of whom were giving him hostile looks. "Can't you be a bigger person and let us talk nicely as friends?"A smile slowly formed on Grace's lips, her narrowing eyes devoid of emotion. "You're an ex who is dead to me, not some friend."While Benjamin had heard such a rejection before, he still couldn't deal with it calmly. He said curtly, "The apology statement will be released tomorrow morning. I will make him take down the post later.""Stop being hypocritical. They're treating me like this because you allowed them to, didn't you?""Me?" Benjamin frowned deeply, obviously disagreeing with her words. Grace's surly expression

Chapter 59 I'm a Divorcee

Timothy's extravagant arrangement captured the attention of other couples in the restaurant. They excitedly whispered among themselves about whether his marriage proposal was a success.Just a few tables away, sitting diagonally across from Grace and Timothy, were none other than Frederick and his wife. It had taken Frederick a few days to coax his angry wife. He had convinced her to come out for dinner with him after rounds of pleading.Once again, he happened to witness Grace with another man, so he quickly snapped a photo of Timothy's back and sent it to Benjamin. "Dude, look at this. Your ex-wife found herself another target. He looks pretty good-looking from the back."Meanwhile, at Hawkins Tower, Benjamin was in the middle of a business meeting. The moment he saw the message from Frederick, his face turned solemn, and his temples throbbed. The person leading the meeting jolted in shock when Benjamin suddenly slammed his phone on the table. He grabbed the coat on th

Chapter 60 I Will Never Marry That Hag

It took Benjamin a long time before he uttered curtly, "What do you think?""Her?" Timothy gasped, pointing at Grace and then at Benjamin."And you?"At last, his finger pointed at himself. "I …""What the hell is going on?" For a second, Timothy felt like crying. He needed time to process the situation. It was too much to handle at once.Frederick rubbed his nose and leaned toward the bewildered Timothy. "Dude, one mustn't touch his friend's wife. You got yourself into big trouble this time."Timothy fumed. "She said she's divorced! She has the freedom to love, understand?"Then, he pushed Benjamin and said dryly, "I didn't know she was your ex-wife when I met her."When Grace calmly walked past Benjamin, the latter's displeased voice halted her steps. "Aren't you going to explain yourself?"Grace scoffed. "Who are you to make me explain?" After that, she left promptly."Don't leave! Are you seriously going to leave us here just like that?" Timothy shouted after Grace's disa
