Xander stared at Grace, smiling faintly. “Alright, it’s over now. Let’s go back.”

When they got back to Pamore, Grace received a call from Aaron.
“Gracie, you’ve grown bold. You actually went to meet someone as wicked as Darlen Perez alone. Do
you know how dangerous that was?”
“Oh, Aaron, I’m fine, aren’t I? Besides, with Xander by my side, what’s there to worry about? Now that
Darien has been caught, you can rest assured.”
Aaron was already aware of the situation.
However, he felt that Grace seemed to need him less and less. Such a big thing had happened, and
she hadn’t even informed him beforehand.
He felt somewhat upset.
“No next time, Gracie.”
Grace reassured him repeatedly. “I know, Aaron.”

“How is Gracie? Is she okay?”
Aaron put his phone away and replied, “Don’t worry, Grandpa. She has that Fulton kid by her side. She
won’t stir up any major trouble.”
At the mention of Xander, a hint of joy appeared on Harold’s face. “Gracie’s taste has
improved a lot since the last time, einst a pity for the Donegans. The alliance between our two families
seems to be falling apart.”
His words carried a sense of loss. After all, they had had a strong friendship with the Donegan family
over the years. If the two families could have formed an alliance, it would have been the icing on the
cake.
However, important matters like marriage shouldn’t be forced.
“Grandpa, we have to trust Gracie’s judgment. She won’t let us down this time.”
“Aaron, don’t just talk about your sister. You’re not young anymore. When are you going to bring your
girlfriend home for me to see?”
When it came to himself, Aaron became evasive. “I still have some work to deal with at the
office. I’ll leave first.”

He quickly left without waiting for Harold’s reply. Harold sighed helplessly as he watched Aaron
disappear.
“Why does he act like a stubborn teenager when it comes to relationships? Forget it. I should let the
young people do what they want.”
Several more days passed, and Grace remained busy. During this period, she took on several new
projects and handled them herself. So her schedule was packed.
That day, Grace had a business meeting with clients, and they had dinner at a restaurant in the
business district.
She had spent a long time negotiating this collaboration and doing thorough research in the preliminary
stages. However, the other party had been evasive, always dragging things out.
Before they entered the private room, Luke couldn’t help but mutter, “Ms. Lewis, we’ve shown so much

“It’s obvious they don’t want to work with us. Why do we keep dealing with them?”
Grace restrained her expression. “Regardless, let’s meet their boss today. If they don’t show interest,
we’ll give up.”
After speaking, she took a deep breath and put on a smile. Only after that did she push the door open
and walk in. “Sorry for being late.”
As soon as Grace entered, she expressed her apologies. However, the next moment, she froze in
place.
The
person sitting inside was none other than Benjamin.
“Mr. Hawkins, what a coincidence! You’re here too?” She composed her emotions so quickly that it
didn’t give other people a chance to notice her momentary awkwardness.
Benjamin’s eyes were fixed on her. It had been some time since he had seen her. She seemed to have
lost weight, causing her features to become more distinct.
“It’s not a coincidence. I was waiting for you.”
