Chapter 5


    Susan couldn’t believe that Grace had actually spoken to her in such a manner.


    She pointed a finger, which was adorned with arge sapphire ring, at Grace. “What’s with your


    attitude? Say that again!”


    There was no hint of fear on Grace’s face.


    She fixed her eyes on Susan and said, “Since Yvonne is moving in, you can get her to do the work.


    I’ll never do it again!” She articted her words clearly.


    After she spoke, Grace felt an unprecedented sense of relief wash over her.


    Susan, on the other hand,pletely lost her temper. “You—”


    “Mom!” Celia suddenly caught Susan’s arm and lowered her voice.


    “Grace is angry, isn’t she? I heard that yesterday Benjamin had …”


    Celia told Susan what had happenedst night. Judging from how smug she looked, it was clear


    that she had exaggerated the story.


    Susan seemed to understand the situation at once. “How dare you take it out on me when you’re


    the one who couldn’t make your husband stay?”


    Grace had already walked out of the vi. She slowed to a stop. She turned around, suppressing


    herself fromshing out at Susan.


    Then, she retorted coldly, “Haven’t you been doubting my fertility for the past three years? Why


    don’t you have Benjamin undergo a medical checkup as well?


    “After all, he couldn’t even get an erection after everything I did to him yesterday. I wonder whose


    fault it truly is that I can’t get pregnant.”


    “You …” Susan was at a loss for words, and so was Celia.


    When Susan came to her senses, she fumed. “Grace, don’t you dare think I won’t have Benjamin


    divorce you!”


    In the past, Grace hadn’t wanted to get into conflict with the rest of the Hawkins family for


    Elizabeth’s sake. So she hadpromised. However, she didn’t care about that anymore.


    “That’s up to you,” Grace replied tly, walking away without a trace of hesitation. She left Susan to


    fume and rage.


    After she left, Susan couldn’t help but think something was amiss.


    “Go up and ch*ck if we have lost anything valuable. You saw how heavy her luggage was. Who


    knows what’s in there!” she ordered Celia.


    Soon, Celia hurriedly came down with a folder in her hand.


    This content ? N?v/elDr(a)m/a.Org.


    “Mom, nothing is missing. But this was on the bedside table!”


    Susan took it and checked to see what it was. Her pupils shrank immediately.


    Divorce papers were inside the folder.


    Susan immediately called Benjamin and told him what Grace had done.


    He was in a meeting at the moment. As soon as he heard Susan mention the divorce papers and


    that Grace had said that he was impotent, he immediately gestured for the meeting to stop.


    Then, he took the coat draped over his chair and walked out of the conference room.


    “Calm down, Mom,” he said in a deep voice.


    “I am calm! It’s good that she’s gone now since Yvonne ising back. I’m just angry that she’s the


    one who asked for the divorce!”


    Susan was still whining about it when Benjamin hung up the phone. His face was thunderous.


    Even now, he couldn’t believe that the usually obedient Grace would be so defiant.


    However, at the thought of what she had done to him yesterday, he looked for her number in his list


    of contacts.


    This was the first time he had called her in their three years of marriage.


    Before the line connected, Larry stepped out of the elevator on the top floor and rushed over to him.


    “Mr. Hawkins, I just received Ms. Lewis’ resignation letter in my email.”


    Larry was panting. “Ms. Lewis is in charge of a lot of projects, of which Darai Medical Expo is the


    most important.


    “We haven’t even done the handovers yet. What should we do now?”


    Benjamin’s expression was getting darker and darker, especially when he couldn’t reach Grace on


    the phone.


    “Hello, the number you have dialed is currently busy. Please try againter.”


    Grace had declined his call.
