That rage made Benjamin shoot to his feet and follow the two out of the restaurant.

Frederick caught up to him. “I told you! There’s no way a man and a woman would meet at such an expensive restaurant and not head to a hotel afterwa

Then, he patted Benjamin’s shoulder. “Buddy, forget about it. You already know she’s a promiscuous person, anyway.”

However, Benjamin smacked Frederick’s hand away and marched toward the hotel, unable to control himself.

It hadn’t been long since they had gotten divorced. Yet not only had she gotten together with Aaraon from Amirate Corporation, but she was sleeping with her colleague too.

Had Grace changed, or had she always been like this?

When the elevator doors opened, Cameron stepped inside first. Grace was about to go in when a strong hand gripped her wrist.

“We need to talk,” a low voice said.

When Grace looked up and saw who it was, she scoffed.

“You sure have a lot of time on your hands, Mr. Hawkins,” she said in an aloof tone.

“I’m busy.”

Benjamin had shown up just as she had been about to enter a hotel room with Cameron. Grace had a moment of doubt, but then she quickly composed

It was probably a coincidence.

There was no way Benjamin was following her, right?

“You two keep talking.” Cameron quickly changed his mind and put on a mask of flattery.

“I’ll wait for Ms. Lewis upstairs.”

As Cameron entered the elevatør, Grace watched him with narrowed eyes and a murderous gaze. He would have to survive today if he wanted to take advantage of her.

The grip on her wrist tightened to such an extent that it was starting to feel painful. Grace wrenched her hand free and said, “Whatever you want to say, just spit it out already.‘

“Why are you getting a hotel room with trash like him?” Benjamin interrogated. There was a storm brewing in his eyes.

Her twinkling eyes met Benjamin’s furious gaze. Every word she said pushed him even further.

“I divorced you ages ago. Did you throw our marriage certificate away? I can sleep with whoever I want, and you have no right to question me.”

Mixed feelings flashed across Benjamin’s eyes, and for a moment, he stopped being angry.

Grace was right. He had no business questioning her.

Her gaze felt like a slap in his face. He couldn’t hold his inner thoughts in anymore. “I know you’ve had a hard time with my family, but that’s no excuse for you to go wild.

“Maybe you became Aaron Lewis‘ lover so that he would let you become general manager of

Amirate’s Pamore branch.

“But what about Cameron? What can you even get from sleeping with him?

“You should have come to me! I can give you so much more than that piece of trash-”

Before Benjamin could finish, he was slapped so hard that the sound attracted people’s attention in the lobby.

There was a sharp look in Grace’s eyes, but the pain in them disappeared in a flash. By the time she spoke, it sounded more like mockery than anything else. “Is that how you see me?”

After working with Hawkins Group for three years, she had secured countless business deals for the company.

And yet, not only had Benjamin not given her any credit, but he had also judged her exactly the way outsiders did.

Benjamin knew he had gone too far. He silently licked the wound on the corner of his l*ps and didn’t fight back.

Grace internally cursed herself for being so blind once again. When she looked back up, she was her glorious, confident self.

Forget it. It didn’t matter how Benjamin saw her.

She said indifferently, “I have my own reasons for sleeping with him. It’s none of your business, Mr. Hawkins.”

With that, she walked into the elevator, not bothering to glance outside as she pressed the

button to close the doors.

When the elevator rose, she imagined she was stepping on Benjamin.

Cameron invited her in with a lustful smile.

“You’ve kept me waiting, Ms. Lewis.”
