Chapter 173 Drive Her Further Away
Celia was completely shocked by Benjamin’s firm stance. In fact, she was too afraid to even
move.
“Mom…” she muttered.
Susan was also taken aback by Benjamin’s harsh decision, but she attempted to reason with him. “Ben, what on earth are you doing?”
“You played a role in her actions as well. Overindulging a child can lead to terrible consequences,” Benjamin firmly responded.
Susan was left speechless. “Ben …”
Feeling utterly humiliated, Celia fled the scene without giving it a second thought.
Worried that Celia might do something rash, Susan quickly followed as she called out, “Cece, wait for me!”
Grace had no interest in their family matters, but the outcome was somewhat satisfactory.
At that moment, Xander walked up to her, patting her shoulder as a gesture of consolation. ” The truth is out. Let’s go.”
Grace nodded in response. “Alright.”
Xander cast a cold, emotionless glance toward Benjamin. His icy stare sent a shiver down Benjamin’s spine as he observed the two standing together, a sight that was hard to behold.
“Grace, now that you’ve got what you wanted, are you satisfied?” Benjamin remarked with a
less–than–friendly tone, with one hand in his pocket.
Grace smirked. “It’s not about being pleased. It’s more like someone digging their own grave.”
At this moment, Benjamin couldn’t help but feel that Grace had become a stranger to him. The Grace he used to know previously hadn’t exhibited this level of assertiveness.
“Celia’s current situation is the result of her own actions, but you had the option to show mercy,” he said.
This was what puzzled him the most.
From what he knew, Grace was a kind–hearted person who wouldn’t destroy the future of a young girl in front of everyone like that. However, the current Grace was relentless.

“Before you respect someone, they need to have some self–respect first.”
“As long as it involves Grace, it’s my business as well. Mr. Hawkins, it seems that Hawkins Group hasn’t been too busy lately, allowing you the leisure to meddle here.”
