In the Lap of Luxury novel (Grace and Benjamin) novel Chapter 370

"Grace, wait."

Grace stopped in her tracks, clearly impatient. "Mr. Hawkins, is there something else?"

"Grace, I—"

Before he could finish, a familiar voice interrupted. "Benjamin, what are you doing here?"

Susan's face lit up with joy. But the next moment, her expression changed when she noticed Grace beside him. "You're still with this woman? You're really trying to infuriate me."

Benjamin looked displeased. "Mom, this is my business. Please don't get involved."

Then, he took Grace's arm. "Let's go."

However, Grace instinctively pulled her arm back. "Mr. Hawkins, please have some respect."

She looked at Susan. Sounding polite yet distant, she said, "Rest assured, Madam Hawkins. There's nothing between Mr. Hawkins and I."

Susan couldn't stand Grace's proud attitude. Although she regretted not treating Grace better and seizing the opportunity to connect with the Lewis family, she could only go along with her mistakes.

After all, it was too late to rectify them.

Fortunately, Benjamin was outstanding. There were plenty of women pursuing him. Grace was of no interest to her at all.

With this in mind, Susan quickly pushed the woman who was dining with her in front of Benjamin.

"Ben, this is Jessica Landon, whom I had mentioned to you before. She comes from a prestigious family, and she's a renowned designer. She's a perfect match for you."

As Susan spoke, she subconsciously lifted her chin proudly. It was almost as if she wanted to tell Grace that any woman Benjamin chose would be a hundred times better than her.

Afraid that Grace might misunderstand, Benjamin quickly interrupted, "Mom, what nonsense are you talking about?"
