Chapter 151 Extend an Olive Branch

“You must avenge me, Ben! Hello? Ben?” Before Susan could finish her sentence, she heard the dial tone This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

She was so infuriated that she couldn’t catch her breath and smashed her phone. “Grace, you vixen!”

She couldn’t contain her temper, and her face flushed bright red.

Seeing that, people around her started gossiping and started to throw weird glances at her,

When Susan noticed that, she wished she could find a hole to hide in,

“Mrs. Hawkins.”

Just then, a mysterious figure in high heels approached her. With a smile on her face, Linda looked at her and greeted her politely.

Susan had no idea who she was. “Who are you?” she asked.

“It doesn’t matter who I am. What’s important is that I know Grace.”

At the mention of Grace, Susan became alert. “Are you with that vixen?”

Linda replied, “You’ve misunderstood, Mrs. Hawkins. I just wanted to invite you to have some tea to talk about Grace. Do you have the time?”

Though Susan sensed that Linda had ulterior motives, she wanted to teach Grace a lesson. So she agreed. “Sure! Where should we go?”

Linda picked a place and left with Susan.

After coming out of the spa, Grace felt refreshed and couldn’t be happier.

She thought about how she had once compromised and allowed herself to be oppressed and bullied for Benjamin. But now she was back to being herse

After returning to the office, she continued to work diligently. She finally finished reviewing the files on her table by the end of the workday.

“Luke, distribute these files to all the departments. We’ll discuss them during the meeting tomorrow morning,” Grace instructed, then checked the time.

“Is there anything else to do today?”

Luke noticed the dark circles under her eyes from working overtime for the past few days. So he said, “Ms. Lewis, you should take a break from work. Go

“It’s fine. I’ll go home after I finish everything.”

Luke couldn’t persuade her, so he quietly set aside some non–urgent files.

By the time Grace had finished her work, it was already night, and the city lights had silently turned on.

Only then did she turn off her laptop and grab her bag to leave the office.

Her car was parked in the rightmost spot in the parking lot at level B1.

Just as she got in her car and started it up, a Lamborghini Phantom stopped in front of her, blocking her way.

This domineering behavior screamed Benjamin. Besides him, Grace couldn’t think of anyone else who would act like that.

Benjamin’s deep eyes looked at Grace through the car window.

He had been waiting here for hours. The cigarette butts were scattered all over outside the car, and the inside of the car was filled with the strong scent of smoke. He wasn’t used to this sense of loss of control.

Seeing the familiar car, Grace remained calm and unyielding. She even honked her horn.

Suddenly, the car window slid down to reveal Benjamin’s profile. “I’ve been waiting for you. Can we talk?”

Grace gripped the steering wheel tightly but remained unfazed. “Talk about what? What’s

there to discuss between us?”

Benjamin explained, “You don’t need to take my mom’s remarks this afternoon to heart.”

So it was about that. It seemed that Susan had gone to her beloved son to complain again. Grace wasn’t surprised.
