Spencer hurried over. "What's wrong?"Shawn played with the tea set in his hands, as if deep in thought. "That's my political law teacher from the police academy.""He recognized you?""He only taught me for a year, and then he was transferred. I haven't seen him since. I never had a chance to repay his kindness." Shawn returned to his separate room."It's been so many years, and my face has changed drastically. I'm sure he's long forgotten me."Choosing the police academy had been Shawn's way of escaping from the Hawkins family. He hadn't found his true passion until Winston had guided him and taught him to strive for the career he wanted.So, even though they had only been teacher and student for a year, it held special significance for Shawn.Inside the room, Winston still hadn't touched the tea in front of him."Xander, if it had been many years ago, I would have agreed to your request immediately. But now, I've reached this position, and everyone is trying to find fault wi

"Grace, I didn't hurt him on purpose." Noelle sounded tearful. She knew that since Grace had come, she must have found out about everything."I know that you wouldn't. Joshua had bad intentions." Grace comforted her at once and patted her on the back.On the day of the annual party, Joshua had dragged Noelle away while Timothy hadn't been with her. He had taken Noelle to a deserted corner and tried to violate her, but she had resisted strongly. She had managed to grab a wine bottle and smash it over his head. As a result, Joshua had a severe concussion. In his anger, he had called the police and reported her for intentional harm.The place where it had taken place had no security cameras, and it involved a conflict between two upper-class families, which made it very difficult for the police to deal with.Noelle sobbed in Grace's arms for a while. Grace asked, "What's your dad's opinion on how to deal with this?"There was silence for a while. Noelle's mood became even more

"It's not difficult, but there is a risk. In Hawkins Group's current condition, we can't afford to get caught up in even the tiniest mess." Benjamin did not hesitate at all.Timothy had pleaded with his long-time friend once more. "We've known each other for so many years. Can't you do it for my sake?""Timothy, no matter how crazy you were when you were pursuing Grace, you were never impulsive."This had shattered Timothy's last shred of hope.He pulled himself out of his memories and tossed the cigarette stub into the trash can. "It doesn't matter. I will save Noelle, even if it means I can no longer be a deputy director." Then, he got up and walked briskly toward the hospital room."Timothy." Xander called out to him in a crisp voice."Joshua is second in line in the Iverson family. For the past few years, he's been competing against his Gabriel for the right to the family inheritance. "He came to Pamore to make trouble of his own accord, so perhaps Gabriel hasn't caught w

Elizabeth sat against the light in the darkened room. She looked tired and old, and she sighed continuously. "It was a terrible thing… A terrible thing."Grace walked up to her tentatively and said in a soft voice, "Grandma, I'm very sorry to have mentioned something that upset you so much."Elizabeth sighed again and waved her hand. "She was just a maid, and it's all in the past now. Forget it."Grace squatted down and took her hand. She asked tentatively, "Didn't she take good care of you?"The wrinkled corners of Elizabeth's eyes drooped. She looked weighed down with her thoughts. "I guess you could say that."Even though she had been unable to glean any actual information, Grace's heart truly ached for Elizabeth. The latter had always taken good care of her. "Grandma, the rest of the Hawkins family treated me badly, and I won't forget it. However, I also remember how nice you were to me. "If there's anything I can help with, please tell me at any time. I will try my best t

Benjamin became even angrier. "Don't act so high and mighty! Isn't what you wanted already standing next to you?"He was referring to Grace."Benjamin! Watch your mouth! I'm a person, not an object, and I'm definitely not one of the Hawkinses' possessions!"Grace retorted at once. She took Xander's hand to get in the car, but Benjamin blocked their path."Move aside!"Benjamin's eyes flicked between them. Xander looked perfectly relaxed and calm as he allowed Grace to lead him. Benjamin finally moved. He turned swiftly and headed straight for the manor.Half an hour ago, Elizabeth had called him and commanded him to come back at once. That was why he had rushed back, but he hadn't expected to meet Grace. Something didn't seem right. Something must have happened.The moment he entered, Elizabeth asked accusingly. "Why is Celia back?""Grace told you?""Who gave the order for Reina to appear again? Was it Celia or Susan? Where are they?"Benjamin was confused, but he caught
