Shawn was very practiced with his movements. He disinfected the area, then sprayed some medicine on. He rubbed his hands to warm them and began to massage her ankle. His movements were gentle and slow. Grace could feel the pain in her ankle receding quickly. "You're very experienced. Have you ever learned professionally?"Her legs were slender and fair, and slightly reddened from the sprain. Shawn concentrated on his actions, and did not let his gaze linger. "Yes, I've studied this. I often got injured because of my job, and after some time, I became almost as good as a doctor."He was still wearing a mask and baseball cap at this hour, and the only thing she could see were a pair of gentle eyes. Grace was curious. "What did you do before? Why did you get injured so often?"Shawn's movements paused. "I don't have a good education, so I mostly did physical labor."Grace was startled, and suddenly felt that she shouldn't have asked. "I'm sorry, I didn't do it on purpose. I

Just as Shawn had said, Grace's foot injury healed within two days.The moment she returned home, she received countless invitations to the annual parties of various large companies. Hawkins Group was among them. Larry had personally come with the invitation, but Luke had intercepted him smoothly."You didn't need to bring it, to be honest. Ms. Lewis will not attend."Larry had looked awkward. "I understand. Nevertheless, she still used to work at Hawkins Group. What if she still has a shred of feeling toward it? We sincerely invite Ms. Lewis to return and see how much the company has developed."Luke had shaken his head at that. "The past is the past. There's no point in looking back."Hence, Larry had been left with no choice but to return.When Grace heard about what had happened, there was no trace of emotion on her face. She said to Luke, "You did well."The other invitations were rejected as well, all except for one, which was from Elysium Bank. Noelle had personally w

Grace's black eyes were very bright, and there was a firm resolve in them that no one else had. She looked at Benjamin, who let go of her guiltily. "I did hide things from you in the past, but I've never done that since we got divorced. Although it's late, I'm sure you know how I feel about you.""That's not what I'm talking about. I'm talking about before we got married."Benjamin swayed, and he pressed his lips together tightly. He didn't speak for a long time. "What?"Grace hadn't wanted to expose him. In fact, she had initially planned on just treating him like a stranger if they met. Since Benjamin insisted on pestering her, she didn't want to be taken for a fool."If you had admitted it yourself, I would've still admired your guts as a man, even though it's late. But it seems that you don't even have the courage to admit it." Grace spoke slowly, watching as Benjamin's expression turned gradually darker. "Does your older brother, Alexander, know that you married me in his

There was a woman standing beside Joshua. She looked like she was trying to keep a low profile, but anyone could see that she was dressed from head to toe in branded attire. It was obvious that she was afraid that no one would notice her.She took Joshua's arm and smiled sweetly. "Ms. Noelle, you're as beautiful as I imagined."Noelle had been talking to Joshua, but the woman had interrupted them. The people around them looked at her strangely, and Joshua pulled his arm away. In answer to Noelle's previous question, he said, "No."The woman's expression darkened. Noelle's lip curled. "No wonder. Since we haven't met for so many years, I thought that perhaps your taste in women got worse."She was young and very charming. Joshua couldn't look away from her. "You're all grown up now, and you've got a sharp tongue. Do you have a boyfriend?"Noelle was about to speak when Anthony stopped her. "Not yet. She's still young. We're not in a rush about these things.""She's reached t

The next day, Noelle rushed to Amirate to tell Grace about what had happened the night before."Joshua has an official girlfriend that he's been seeing for about three or four months. However, the Iversons don't acknowledge her existence, and her background is unclear. They just treat it as him playing around."Grace was flipping through some documents. "For the Iversons, even both the Hawkins family and Hawkins Group put together are insignificant. "Besides, Benjamin had exiled Celia to Astana. How did she come back?"Noelle shook her head. "No one knows. I heard that Joshua erased all traces of her past."This was interesting. Was Celia really that capable?Grace twirled the pen in her hand. "How were things last night?""Joshua and Timothy were like oil and water. Timothy tried to trick him into slipping up but failed despite trying the entire night. He was furious."Grace couldn't help laughing at the idea that Timothy had failed for once."Celia was at the table playing
