Chapter 27 Just Sign the Divorce Papers
“Grace is going to Pamore?” Donald was visibly excited to hear that.
“If she’s going back, then should we talk about the arranged marriage between our two families?”
Aaron wasn’t as excited as Donald about this. “It will depend on the two of them. They’re the ones
getting married, after all.”
Donald understood what Aaron meant.
He knew his son. Donald had had Timothy late in life, so he had spoiled him.
Even though Timothy was a decent president for Donegan Enterprises, his personal life was a mess.
From drinking to hooking up, he had accumulated some really bad habits.
He was a far cry from the ideal son–in–law the Lewis family was looking for.
Grace was the only daughter of the Lewis family, so naturally, they were all protective of her. Her
brothers wouldn’t allow her to marry a playboy like Timothy.
Donald had met Grace before. She was pretty and kind. She would be a great daughter–in–law.
It looked like he would have to send Timothy to Pamore as well and make sure that he seized this
opportunity. As his father, it was the least Donald could do to help him.
Wanting to hurry home and tell Timothy about this, Donald quickly excused himself and left. Aaron sent
him off.
As he went back to the living room, Grace emerged from the study.

“Aaron, did you say that you were going to send me to Pamore?”
Aaron said seriously, “Yes. You’re familiar with the city, so it’s best that you’re there to oversee the
planning and strategy there. But it’s your choice.”
Grace’s eyes shone with confidence. “I’ll go.”
“If you go to Pamore, you’ll be there representing Amirate,” Aaron warned her.
“You have to put the company first and foremost. You can’t let your emotions rule your decisions.” (1)
Benjamin’s defeat here in Darai would definitely result in some consequences, and Amirate’s branches
in Pamore would bear the brunt of it. The two companies were fighting now.
He would respect Grace’s wishes if she didn’t want to go.
Grace understood her brother’s worries. She knew that the future of the company rested on

“Don’t worry, Aaron. I know you’re sending me to Pamore to prove myself, especially since there has
been plenty of disapproval about my sudden appointment here,
“It’s better if I get some experience handling the smallef branches before coming back to the
headquarters.”
Aaron nodded with satisfaction. “I’m glad you understand. It seems like I don’t have to worry about
you.”
“But…” Grace put on a worried look.
“But what?”
“If I’m in Pamore, then I won’t be able to see you all the time!” Grace smiled at him.
Aaron’s heart softened. All the lingering anger from Benjamin’s visit dissipated,
He patted Grace on the head and laughed. “You’re a sweet–talker. I’ll fly over and visit you whenever I
can.”
“Promise?”
“Promise.”
Back at Hawkins Manor in Pamore, Benjamin tore off his tie in irritation and went back to his room
without saying a word to anyone,
Celia and Yvonne quietly followed behind him. They didn’t dare speak when they saw how
angry he was.
In his room, Benjamin took off his jacket and poured himself a glass of wine. He stood by the
window and looked out.
Without Amirate’s help, he had had to spend a fortune to buy a spot in the expo, going well over the
budget.
He had been thoroughly defeated in Darai this time.

Grace had once been his biggest supporter. Now, she was standing on the opposite side, fully
prepared to make things harder for him.
Evidently, she didn’t want anything to do with him anymore.
He tightened his grip on the wine glass as his emotions swirled in turmoil,
Just then, his phone rang. “Yes?” he asked lowly,

“Mr. Hawkins, the lawyers received a divorce notice just now. Ms. Lewis passed on a message through
her lawyer, saying that …”
On the other end of the call, Larry hesitated. He clearly had bad news.
“What did she say?” Benjamin asked angrily.
“Ms. Lewis said that her lawyer will be handling everything relating to the divorce from now on. Since
you refused to mediate, she has decided to take this to court.”
Larry fell silent after blurting this out, waiting for the storm to arrive.
He heard the sound of glass shattering first. Even though he was on the other end of the phone, he
couldn’t help but break out in a cold sweat.
Grace had really pissed off Benjamin this time!
