Chapter 370 Meeting Susan
“Grace, wait.”
Grace stopped in her tracks, clearly impatient. “Mr. Hawkins, is there something else?”
“Grace, I-”
Before he could finish, a familiar voice interrupted. “Benjamin, what are you doing here?”
Susan’s face lit up with joy. But the next moment, her expression changed when she noticed Grace
beside him. “You’re still with this woman? You’re really trying to infuriate me.”
Benjamin looked displeased. “Mom, this is my business. Please don’t get involved.”
Then, he took Grace’s arm. “Let’s go.”
However, Grace instinctively pulled her arm back. “Mr. Hawkins, please have some respect.”
She looked at Susan. Sounding polite yet distant, she said, “Rest assured, Madam Hawkins. There’s
nothing between Mr. Hawkins and I.”

seizing the opportunity to connect with the Lewis family, she could only go along with
her mistakes.
After all, it was too late to rectify them.
Fortunately, Benjamin was outstanding. There were plenty of women pursuing him. Grace was of no
interest to her at all.
With this in mind, Susan quickly pushed the woman who was dining with her in front of Benjamin.
“Ben, this is Jessica Landon, whom I had mentioned to you before. She comes from a prestigious
family, and she’s a renowned designer. She’s a perfect match for you.”
As Susan spoke, she subconsciously lifted her chin proudly. It was almost as if she wanted to tell
Grace that any woman Benjamin chose would be a hundred times better than her.
Afraid that Grace might misunderstand, Benjamin quickly interrupted, “Mom, what nonsense are you
talking about?”
Grace, however, remained composed and showed no sign of displeasure.
She turned to leave.
Unexpectedly, Jessica, who had been silent until now, stopped her. “Ms. Lewis, I’ve long heard of your
great reputation. Now that I’ve seen you in person, it’s indeed well-deserved.”

As Jessica said that, she approached Grace with a smile. “Nice to meet you, Ms. Lewis. I’m Jessica
Landon. I’ve heard so much about you.
Noticing Grace’s lack of response, she continued, “I heard you graduated from Coronia University
School of Design. It’s such a coincidence. We attended the same school.”
This remark piqued Grace’s interest. She halted and finally shifted her gaze to Jessica.
Jessica looked dignified and elegant, seemingly flawless. She had a hint of friendliness in her
smile.

“Nice to meet you, Ms. Landon,” Grace responded.
Jessica quickly took out her business card and handed it over.
“I was a student in the class of 2018. May I ask which class you belong to?”
Grace took the card and saw that the name “Jessica Landon” was written in bold, gold letters.
She replied, “Oh, you’re my senior. I’m from the class of 2019.”
Jessica smiled. “What a small world!”
Susan, who had been silent the entire time, was dumbfounded. She pulled Jessica over and asked
disdainfully, “Jessica, do you know her?”
Jessica explained, “No, she’s my junior. We went to the same university.”
Susan snorted contemptuously. “She managed to go to such a good university? Her family probably
paid or used connections to get her in.”
