Chapter 60 I Will Never Marry That Hag
It took Benjamin a long time before he uttered curtly, “What do you think?”
“Her?” Timothy gasped, pointing at Grace and then at Benjamin.
“And you?”
At last, his finger pointed at himself. “I …”
“What the hell is going on?” For a second, Timothy felt like crying. He needed time to process the situation. It was too much to handle at once.
Frederick rubbed his nose and leaned toward the bewildered Timothy. “Dude, one mustn’t touch his friend’s wife. You got yourself into big trouble this time.”
Timothy fumed. “She said she’s divorced! She has the freedom to love, understand?”
Then, he pushed Benjamin and said dryly, “I didn’t know she was your ex–wife when I met her.
When Grace calmly walked past Benjamin, the latter’s displeased voice halted her steps. Aren’t you going to explain yourself?”
Grace scoffed. “Who are you to make me explain?” After that, she left promptly.
“Don’t leave! Are you seriously going to leave us here just like that?” Timothy shouted after Grace’s disappearing figure.
Benjamin pulled a long face and left as well, followed by Frederick.
On the other hand, Timothy was distracted throughout his journey home and had a sleepless night.
The next morning, he stormed into Grace’s office, ignoring the secretary’s protests.
Grace looked up at him, unfazed. “Why are you here? Didn’t your good buddies morally condemn you?”
“I’ve been thinking the whole night. I’m not going to give up on you.”
Timothy stood straight and proud, speaking very Seriously. “In fact, my feelings for you have become even more resolute after last night!”
Grace was speechless. “That’s it?”
In her opinion, he was more superficial than this.
“Your previous marriage is something of the past. Everyone stumbles at some point in life. It was Ben who took you for granted, and you made the right choice to leave him.”

Worried that Grace might cut him off, Timothy blurted his words in one breath.
“I’m not interested.”
Grace had been waiting for Timothy to relent upon finding out the truth, yet he had unexpectedly caught her off guard with his stubbornness.
“Don’t turn me down so quickly! Both of us are single, even though …”
A smile slowly formed on Grace’s face. She remained composed as she glanced at the tablet in her hand. “Even though what?”
“Sigh. It’s a long story.” Frustrated, Timothy sat in the chair.
“Speaking of this, I won’t hide my identity any longer. The truth is, I’m the president of Donegan Group. I only came to Amirate Corporation to pursue you.”
Grace nodded. “I know.”
Timothy was dumbfounded for a few seconds.
However, considering that Grace had great connections, it made sense that she had probably figured it out long before he had joined Amirate.
“Then, do you know that I have a marriage engagement that I’m having difficulty getting rid of?”
Grace nodded again. “I’ve heard of it.”
Timothy looked troubled as he complained, “Alas, your boss’s sister is my fiancée. She even has the exact same name as you.”
“Same name, huh? Why don’t you suspect that I’m her?” asked Grace.
“There’s no way you are her. I can bet with my life that she looks like a hag. Your beauty, on the other hand, is otherworldly.”
The look in Grace’s eyes darkened. She said through gritted teeth, “Really? What are you going to do about it then?”
“Don’t worry!” Timothy slammed the table and abruptly leaned closer to Grace.
He swore with utmost sincerity, “I will never marry that girl from the Lewis family. Wait for me, Grace.
“I’m going to break off the engagement right away. I won’t put you in an awkward position.”
Holding her breath, Grace flashed a smile out of nowhere. “Aren’t you afraid that she’s going to make you pay?”
“What is there to be afraid of with that clueless hag?”

Just then, Timothy’s phone rang. When he saw that it was his father’s incoming call, he felt annoyed that his moment of confession had been interrupted.
He picked up the call impatiently. “Dad, what’s up?”
As soon as Timothy saw the screen, his eyes widened in shock. The screen showed Donald holding a phone by his ear and huffing angrily, while Timothy’s mother stood at the side and glared at him with a loathful expression. Behind them was Aaron, elegantly sipping on a cup of coffee.
