Chapter 401 Nothing Between Us


    Benjamin clearly felt the atmosphere change when he asked that question.


    Grace''s thoughts drifted far away, and she returned to her senses after some time. "It''s been too


    long. I don''t remember."


    A hint of disappointment shed in Benjamin''s eyes. "Do you not remember, or are you choosing


    not to?"


    Grace smirked and looked at him. "Mr. Hawkins, can you tell me the truth? What''s your rtionship


    with Jessica?"


    "Would you believe me if I said it''s nothing?" Benjamin asked self-mockingly. He had never humbled


    himself to this point.


    "Grace, if you insist on continuing the investigation, you must be prepared. I''m warning you. I don''t


    want you to get hurt."


    "Benjamin, you sound ridiculous. You''re acting irrationally under the guise of protecting me? Or do


    you think your actions are truly for my benefit?"


    "It''s not—"


    Benjamin started, but there was nothing more he could say. He couldn''t find an excuse.


    He begged earnestly, "Grace, just listen to me just this once, okay?"


    Just as Grace was about to speak, Xander spoke up from behind.


    "Gracie," Xander called out and walked to her side.


    Callum followed closely. He greeted Benjamin with a smile, "Aren''t you Mr. Hawkins from Hawkins


    Group? I''ve heard so much about you!"


    Benjamin looked at Callum and smirked. "Mr. Stevens, it''s been a long time."


    Callum had long known about what had happened between Grace and Benjamin, and because of


    that, he didn''t have a good impression of Benjamin.


    However, he had to admit that Benjamin was a powerful man. He was a legendary figure that wasn''t


    to be underestimated.


    "Mr. Hawkins, it''s nice to meet you. I wonder what you''re discussing with Grace?" Callum asked.


    "Grace, are you dating him?" Benjamin asked coldly. The atmosphere around them suddenly


    became tense.


    "Benjamin, this is personal and has nothing to do with you. If you have nothing else to say, please


    leave." Grace ordered him to leave immediately.


    Seeing this, Callum quickly added, "Mr. Hawkins, you should leave the past behind. People need to


    move forward in life."


    The implication behind his words was clear. Benjamin and Grace''s rtionship was in the past,


    while Grace and Xander were a perfect match.


    "Grace, is this what you think as well?"


    Grace didn''t answer Benjamin''s question, but her attitude made everything clear.


    Seeing this, Xander took Grace''s hand and said, "Gracie, there''s been a new development here.


    We need to go."


    Grace''s interest was piqued. "What is it?"


    Xander turned to Benjamin and said, "Mr. Hawkins, we have other matters to attend to. We''ll take


    our leave for now."N?velDrama.Org content.
