Chapter 544 Why Did It Have to Be You


    Grace scrolled through his phone, checking it thoroughly.


    Theodore struggled violently. "What are you doing? Give it back! This is illegal! I''ll call the police!"


    Graceughed. "Go ahead. Call them. I''d like to see if the police will arrest you, the one causing


    trouble, or me first."


    Some people needed to be dealt with harshly.


    Grace reviewed his recent tweets, clicking and deleting each one.


    "How did you know Willow has an illegitimate child?"


    Theodore was reluctant to speak, but after the bodyguard twisted his arm painfully, he cried out,


    "Alright! I''ll tell you.


    "I knew she had a child. Otherwise, she wouldn''t have married me. But I didn''t know who the father


    was untilter."


    He admitted that after he had married Willow, their frequent separations due to work had made him


    lonely. He had ended up having an affair with Willow''s assistant.

    Having been with Willow for years, the assistant had known that Matthew was the child''s birth

    Grace listened and scoffed, deleting thest tweet.


    "You epted the child but exploited him. You''re despicable."


    Grace continued, "Listen closely—act as if these tweets never happened. I''ll deactivate your Twitter


    ount, and if you dare to say anything more in the future, don''t me me if I buy out your


    Theodore struggled again. "You''re so cruel! What right do you have to do this to me? Do you know


    who''s behind my back?"


    Grace clicked to deactivate the ount and then looked up.


    "I know."


    He was taken aback.


    Grace looked at the tall figure entering the café and muttered, "Benjamin."


    The slight smile on Benjamin''s face vanished instantly. It was reced by a dreaded frown as a chill


    went down his back.


    Theodore sat still, feeling Grace''s re. Then, he turned around to see Benjamin, who looked like a


    lifesaver right now.


    "Mr. Hawkins! Save me! This woman is evil! She set me up!" He rushed toward Benjamin and clung


    to his legs.


    Grace also stood up, calmly meeting Benjamin''s gaze.


    Benjamin clenched the document in his hand. His eyes were fixed on her. "You knew all along."


    She had called him here on purpose.


    "You resorted to such dirty tactics. Benjamin, I overestimated you." Grace threw the phone into a


    coffee cup.


    Theodore continued to struggle at Benjamin''s feet. "Mr. Hawkins! You know that I wasn''t the


    mastermind. It was—"


    "Enough!"


    Benjamin kicked him away, cutting off his following words. Then, he strode toward Grace and


    grabbed her wrist.


    "Listen to me."


    "The truth is right here. What''s there to exin?"


    Grace narrowed her eyes and said, "Benjamin, we''ve known each other so long. Our marriage


    didn''t work out, so being strangers would have sufficed.


    "But you had to stab me in the back. Do you hate me that much?"


    "This ..." Benjamin tightened his grip and paused.


    "Everythinges out at some point. What happened to Matthew is the truth. If it hadn''t been us,


    someone else would have exposed it."


    "But why did it have to be you?" Grace retorted, filled with disbelief. She thought he had admitted to


    it.


    Benjamin trembled, stung by the disappointment in her eyes.


    "I''m sorry, I—"


    "Let go of me."
