Benjamin didn't let go but held on tighter.

"You fussing over Theodore is pointless, and so is questioning me. You have more important things to do right now!" Grace was so infuriated that she laughed. She signalled her bodyguards to drag Theodore away.

The café regained its quiet atmosphere, leaving just Grace and Benjamin.

"So, Mr. Hawkins, enlighten me. What should I be doing?" Benjamin pursed his lips and handed her the document he was holding.

"Cut ties with Byte Technologies and choose a new path. You're three months away from the final quarter of the year. There's still tto turn back, Grace. I haven't closed all doors on you." Grace was baffled. She flipped through the document, noticing the words 'new energy'. Losing patience, she closed it abruptly.

"So you had this planned all along? You block my path with Byte Technologies and then magnanimously offera new one. Is this schild's gfor you, Benjamin? Don't you find it tiring?" Benjamin's frown deepened.

"You're a businessperson. You should understand the concept of cutting losses. Isn't this a perfect solution? Why are you angry with me?" "I should thank you. If it hadn't been for you, I wouldn't even need this 'solution'." Knowing he was at fault, Benjamin didn't argue further.

"Grace, exposing Matthew's affair sooner rather than later is better. It's eliminating potential risks. If it had cout later, when you were fully committed, there would be no turning back.

"Survival is the first priority now. Don't you understand?" "I do," Grace replied quickly.

"Then you—" "But what if I say we're already in the sboat?" Benjamin's gaze intensified. He locked eyes with her for a moment, seemingly unable to comprehend.

Grace rolled up the document, pointing it at him.

"You knew how important Byte Technologies was to me, yet you el deliberately stabbedin the back. Benjamin, you truly are heartless." "Grace!" "Mr. Hawkins, the hero-saving-the-damsel act doesn't work on me." Grace threw the document at him ΟΛ et and checked the time. She added, "You might want to go back and see if the situation you so carefully orchestrated has changed S Benjamin wanted to follow her, but his phone rang.

He had no choice but to answer it. "What is it?" It was Jessica. She was furious. "Benjamin, did you tell Grace Willow's whereabouts? You helped her!" Benjamin watched Grace's figure disappear into the distance and asked, "What do you mean? Speak clearly." "Willow suddenly released a statement saying she's retiring from the industry, taking all the blupon herself and painting Matthew as the perfect man!" S Jessica was nearly hysterical.

"I can't even contact Theodore anymore. What exactly did you do?" Benjamin paused, his gaze falling on the phone that had been submerged in the coffee cup. His thoughts drifted away.

Grace had acted far more decisively and quickly than he had anticipated.

"Admit defeat, Danielle. You're no match for her." Benjamin closed his eyes, haunted by Grace's words.

Grace thought he was heartless. She truly detested him now.

"You wantto admit defeat?" Jessica asked in disbelief. "That's impossible." Then, she hung up abruptly.

Grace returned to her office and downed a large glass of water to calm down.

Ashley entered and said, "Ms. Lewis, Mrs. Thorne acted swiftly. Willow has already issued a statement." mmMwWLlilOfiflO&1 mmMwWLlilOfiflO&1 mmMwWLliI0fiflO&1 mmMwWLlilOfiflO&1 mmMwWLliI0fifl0&1 mmMwWLlilOfiflO&1
