Grace was getting impatient. "Have you ever asked for my opinion, Benjamin? You're as arrogant as ever, and your so-called good intentions are not needed." Benjamin quickly said, "I admit that I didn't handle this matter properly, so I've cto apologize to you. I thought you would understand." So this was why he had attended Henry's birthday celebration. It was because of her.

"I've thought it over. There is nothing between us. It's normal for there to be business interests between businesspeople, and whatever you do is your business. I have no right to criticize you, so there's no need to apologize." Grace's words were calm and measured, showing a sense of propriety.

Benjamin frowned, feeling his heart sink. "Grace-" "Benjamin, you look down on both Byte Technologies and me. Yet you jumped into the lake just to win Matthew's favor?" Grace found it ironic.

Benjamin remained silent, because she was indeed right.

"Don't pretend to be high and mighty next time. It disgusts me," Grace said. She pushed the car door open, ready to get out. Benjamin grabbed her and protested, "What about Xander? Compared to me, he's even more pretentious." Grace tried to shake him off when he mentioned Xander. "You have no right to bring him up." Benjamin held her tightly and uttered, "He has traveled back and forth abroad multiple times, but not for business. He's injured every time. Did you know about that? Is he honest with you? Isn't he pretentious?" He seemed so sure that Grace didn't know about it. Grace found it absurd.

She said, "Even if that's the case, it's between him and me. Who are you, and what right do you have to interfere?" Her words hit Benjamin's heart hard. She was suggesting that she and Xander had a close relationship.

"You're dating," he stated.

Grace wanted to say yes, but in truth, she and Xander hadn't reached that point. She shook Benjamin's hand off. "No. That's none of your business." With that, she got out and closed the door, leaving to find her own car.

Benjamin stared at her figure in the rearview mirror. His face was somber.

Before long, Larry and the driver eturned. Larry said cautiously, and Ms. Lewis had another argument." Content belongsQvel.foet wBenjamin closed his eyes. He seemed to be frustrated, so Larry didn't dare say anything more.

Grace was furious. It wasn't Benjamin's place to meddle between him and Xander.

When she neared her car, Luke was waiting for her. "Ms Lewis." "How is it?" "Henry isn'tan a life-threatening condition. Matthew cares for lot, but Mrs. Thorne lookedt belongs to sweet "What happened later?" "They couldn't find Benjamin. They were planning to go and thank him." "It seems that Benjamin has et garnered a valuable favor," have Grace coldly snorted. "I think he may have seer Byte Technologies' potential and is trying to get a piece of the pie." It was hard to say since Benjamin was hard to read. Grace was utterly frustrated.

On her way to Amirate Corporation, she received a call from Xander.

"Xander." She sounded upset.

Xander's voice was hoarse. "What's wrong? Why do you sound so upset?" Grace didn't want to bring up Benjamin, so she said, "It's nothing. I just encountered a setback." "Where are you?" Grace glanced outside and answered, "Amirate Corporation." They were almost there, so it wasn't a lie. "Alright," he said in a low voice. "What's the matter? Can you tell me?" "It's fine. I can handle it myself." mmMwWLlilOfiflo&1 mmMwWLlilOfiflO&1 mmMwWLliI0fiflO&1 mmMwWLlilOfiflO&1 mmMwWLliI0fifl0&1 mmMwWLlilOfiflO&1
