Chapter 276 First Come, First Served

Benjamin’s words carried a strong sense of powerlessness.

But some things couldn’t be compensated for with words.

Grace raised an eyebrow slightly and smiled. “You didn’t do anything wrong, Mr. Hawkins. Why should you apologize?”

Benjamin shook his head. “This apology is from the old me.”

“Stop it, Mr. Hawkins.”

As Grace said that, she looked at Olivia, who wasn’t far away. “I intend to get to the bottom of

this matter.”

“Okay, I support any decision you make.” Benjamin had already made his stance clear.

Olivia panicked. “Benjamin, are you also going to side with this arrogant woman? Your cousin is lying in that bed!”

Benjamin remained indifferent. “We’re all adults. We have to take responsibility for our

actions.”

“What did Geraldine do that you’re treating her like this? Remember, she’s the one lying in the hospital bed now!”

Olivia was seething. “I don’t care what you’re planning to do, but don’t even think about laying a hand on Geraldine.”

There was no emotion on Grace’s face. “We won’t do anything, but the police might.”

As soon as she finished speaking, two uniformed police officers walked in.

“We received a report of a disturbance at the racecourse. Who is Geraldine Hawkins?”

Olivia grew anxious at the sight of the police. “What do you want to do?”

The leading officer walked up to her and showed her his police badge. Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

“This is my police badge. Can anyone point out Ms. Geraldine Hawkins? We’re summoning her according to the law.”

Olivia staggered and quickly held her forehead. “My head hurts. I can’t understand what you’re saying.”

Seeing that, Grace was speechless. Olivia’s acting was too awkward.

But with the police here and solid evidence, Geraldine couldn’t escape now, even if she wanted

1. to.

Grace yawned and walked to Xander, who had been waiting for her. “Xander, let’s go back.”

Xander took off his coat and draped it over her shoulders. “It’s chilly outside. Be careful not to catch a cold.”

With that, the two turned and left.

Seeing this scene, Benjamin hurriedly caught up, grabbing Grace’s wrist from behind. “I’ll drive you back.”

Grace frowned, trying to break free. She said coldly, “It’s fine, Mr. Hawkins. There’s no need for the trouble. You should deal with the aftermath of this matter here.”

However, Benjamin casually said, “There’s no rush for that.”

Ignoring Grace’s refusal, he followed her closely.

Grace had no choice but to quicken her pace.

However, Benjamin stuck to her like chewing gum.

At the hospital entrance, Grace couldn’t tolerate it anymore. “Benjamin, that’s enough.”

“Not enough.”

As soon as Benjamin spoke, Xander stood in front of Grace, blocking her. The two five–foot- nine–inch–tall men had a powerful presence.

“Mr. Hawkins, this is a bit too much,” Xander warned.

But Benjamin wasn’t afraid at all.

He knew that if he backed down today, he would never be able to lift his head in front of

Xander in the future.

He was determined to win Grace over.

Since he had won over her effortlessly three years ago, he was sure he could do the same three years later.

“Mr. Fulton, has no one told you about the saying ‘first come, first served?“”
