Chapter 118 Stir Her Emotions

Benjamin looked where Frederick was pointing and saw a familiar figure.

Even if she were reduced to ashes, he would still recognize her.

Hadn’t she left with Albert? How could she be here?

Grace’s dancing was undeniably enchanting. The moment she appeared, she had captured everyone’s attention.

In just a short time, she had become the center of attention in the entire bar.

Her smile was bright and exuberant, exuding an undeniable, self– assured radiance. Her beauty was otherworldly, causing Benjamin’s heart to palpitate incessantly.

This was a side of her that he had never seen before. He had never known that she could smile so gracefully.

Benjamin’s emotions were in turmoil. He emptied his glass of wine in one gulp.

The restraint he had maintained earlier was gone now. Without hesitation, he set down the glass and walked toward Grace.

“Wow! Grace, you’re simply stunning!” Emily couldn’t help but whistle.

Amidst the music, she added, “Bringing you out tonight was definitely worth it. Let’s make the most of this night and indulge ourselves!”

Grace felt alive with every fiber of her being at this moment. She clinked glasses with Emily and said, “Cheers!”

The two of them exchanged a smile.

Grace took a sip of the wine in her glass, relishing its taste. Without a moment’s hesitation, she downed it in one go.

“Emily, wait for me a moment. I’m going to the restroom.”

She set her glass down and walked in the direction of the restroom.

However, just as she turned the corner, she saw Benjamin walking toward her.

In an instant, the smile on her face vanished.

She immediately turned and walked away, as if she had encountered a plague.

Benjamin couldn’t tolerate her attitude as he called out, “Stop, Grace!”

Grace sneered, but her steps quickened.

Benjamin’s eyes narrowed as he moved forward, pursuing her until he cornered her near the

restroom.

“What are you doing? Let go of me!” Grace struggled against his grip, but he held on firmly.

Thinking about what she had said to him about his collusion with Samuel just two hours ago, he felt furious.

Fueled by alcohol, he blurted out, “Grace, the relationship between me and Director Walker isn’t what you think. Who the hell would associate with a person like him-”

Grace had no interest in listening to him. She simply kept struggling. “Benjamin, let go of me!

Meanwhile, Benjamin’s eyes were fixed on her. Her unique fragrance filled the air around them. In that moment, he felt something stir within him.

His b*dy began to change involuntarily, and he leaned in to k*ss her.

Grace didn’t hesitate to slap him hard, causing his face to turn to the side.

This slap completely woke him up. He realized what he had tried to do just now.

“Benjamin, is this fun for you?” Grace mocked him with a cold tone and an unapologetic

expression. Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

“Or do you still see me as a plaything you can summon and dismiss at will?”

“I didn’t mean it that way.” Benjamin tried to explain, but she pushed him away without a second thought.

“Stay away from me!” Her disdain was undisguised in her eyes. She turned and walked away.

However, Benjamin didn’t get angry. Instead, a faint smile appeared on his l*ps.

“Ben, are you okay?” Frederick inquired with concern. He had seen Grace slap Benjamin just

now.

If it had been in the past, Benjamin would have made sure she regretted it, but he hadn’t done anything today. In fact, he had smiled instead of getting a

Had he been too stunned by the slap?

Benjamin touched his own cheek and recalled Grace’s anger just now.

At least she was no longer the emotionless and unfeeling person she had been.

He could still stir her emotions.

“Yvonne!” Celia was the first to rush over, expressing concern.

“Yvonne, are you okay?”

Yvonne instinctively clutched her stomach, feeling a subtle pain.

She looked at Grace, who appeared visibly stunned, and shivered as she pointed at her. “Why … why did you hurt my baby? Someone, help! Save my b
