Chapter 22 Trying to Flaunt Your Wealth
Grace looked stunning today.
Her long hair fell over her shoulders. Dressed in a luxurious gown that had never been seen on the market before, she was even more dazzling in the crowd.
No one could take their eyes off her.
Slowly, she made her way toward Benjamin.
Benjamin watched her, his eyes dark with an unidentifiable emotion.
Grace was no longer the woman he remembered. She used to be gentle and demure. Now, she
was confident and beautiful.
She had changed.
“Mr. Hawkins, you are relentless, I see.” Grace walked up to Benjamin and spoke with a mocking smile.
“Where’s your boss?” Benjamin asked coldly.
Grace laughed. “As you can see, I’m alone. Disappointed?”
So he had set his sights on Aaron since his dumb texts to her hadn’t worked.
Well, he would have to get through her first!
Benjamin’s expression darkened when he realized that his plans had been discovered. It didn’t help that Grace was clearly laughing at him.
The organizer of the auction came up to them, smiling widely. “Ms. Lewis, this way.”
Grace ignored Benjamin and entered the venue.
Celia watched her grand entrance and whispered in Benjamin’s ear, “Look, Benjamin, I was right. She must have gotten some rich and powerful boyfriend to get this treatment.”
‘Benjamin just felt more irritated. “Shut up,” he said impatiently.
Knowing that Benjamin was angry, Celia fell silent and followed behind him quietly.

“300 thousand dollars!”
In the row behind her, Yvonne saw Grace bidding for the bracelet. She raised her paddle as well. “500 thousand dollars.”
Then, she said, “Benjamin, I think this bracelet would suit Grandma very well. ”
Benjamin nodded.
Grace raised her paddle again. “600 thousand dollars!”
This was the highest she would go. The bracelet was only worth so much. As it were, she was already overpaying for it.
divorce. At most, she would have one million dollars, nothing more.
