Chapter 281 Meet at the Usual Place

“We’ve already reached a collaboration agreement with Futurelink. In the initial stages of the project, I’ll personally go there to oversee it.”

“Ms. Lewis, do you need me to go with you?”

Grace nodded. “Prepare yourself. When the time comes, go with Futurelink and take the main team along.”

After confirming the work, Grace sent a message to Xander. Unexpectedly, her phone rang abruptly.

She looked at the flashing number on the screen and answered expressionlessly.

Benjamin’s voice came through the phone. “Grace, I heard you’ve reached a collaboration agreement with Futurelink.”

Grace raised her eyes and glanced out the window. “You seem to be well–informed, Mr. Hawkins.”

“Are you sure you want to choose him over me? Working with Hawkins Group has a better chance of success, doesn’t it?”

Yet Grace responded, “Mr. Hawkins, the die is cast. There’s no need for more words.”

But Benjamin wasn’t willing to accept it.

When had he ever lost?

“The Dunhill project isn’t as simple as it looks. If you’re going to Dunhill, be careful. If you need help, Hawkins Group-”

“There’s no need, Mr. Hawkins. The last thing Amirate wants is help from Hawkins Group.

“If you’re that free, you should take care of your family matters first. You wouldn’t want that to affect your work, would you?”

Benjamin understood what Grace was implying.

“You can rest assured. I won’t let anyone who hurt you get away with it,” he said earnestly.

But Grace just smiled lightly. “I don’t need to be updated on your family matters. Also, I have no interest in listening to your chit–chat.”

After saying that, she hung up the phone.

As Benjamin tightly gripped his phone, his eyes darkened, and his face looked ugly.

At that moment, Yvonne pushed the door and walked in.

“Benjamin, are you okay?”Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

With a cold face, Benjamin snapped, “Get out!”

His aggressive demeanor startled Yvonne.

She pretended to be subservient and approached him. “Benjamin, did something happen? You can tell me. We can share the burden together.”

Benjamin raised his eyes and pinched her chin. “You think you’re worthy of that?”

With that, he pushed her away without mercy.

“Benjamin, is there no place for me in your heart?” Yvonne asked unwillingly.

“Don’t you care about me or our child we once had?”

At the mention of this, Benjamin’s face became even more unsightly.

If it hadn’t been for Yvonne and that so–called child, he and Grace wouldn’t be where they

were today.

“Yvonne, am I being too polite to you? Don’t forget what I told you. Stay away from me during this time, or I won’t mind sending you in again.”

Yvonne’s eyes narrowed.

“Benjamin, are you still thinking about Grace?

“But don’t you know that she doesn’t love you at all? If she really loved you, how could she leave so decisively? Benjamin, wake up!”

“That’s enough!” Benjamin scolded coldly.

Ignoring her, he decided to leave the office himself.

Yvonne felt a burning anger inside, but she had no way to vent. She took out her phone,

hesitated for a long time, and finally dialed a familiar number.

“Let’s meet. I’ll wait for you at the usual place.”
