Chapter 77 I Can Just Fight Back
Grace giggled with a hand on her mouth and glanced at Caleb. “Nothing. We weren’t talking about you at all.”
“You’d better not be trash–talking me,” Lydia warned.

Caleb, who was usually a chatterbox, suddenly stopped talking. “I’m going out for some fresh air,” he said, putting on a distant attitude in front of Lydia.
When he walked outside, his smile gave way to a cold glare the moment he saw Benjamin standing there. Blocking the doorway, he said loudly, “You’re not welcome here.”
Benjamin gestured for Larry to hand Caleb a fruit basket. “Please give this to her.”
“Get out of here with that!” Caleb waved his hands dismissively. “Our Gracie doesn’t need shit like this from you.”
“Is she awake?” Benjamin didn’t really take Caleb seriously. A handsome guy with no substance like him wasn’t Grace’s type at all. But with Xander … Benjamin smelled a threat.
“She’s awake, and she’s fine. Now leave.” Lydia spoke up from behind Caleb and moved to block the doorway with him, forming a perfect blockade.
“Please take care of her, then,” Benjamin said, then left.
This angered Caleb so much that he yelled at his retreating figure, “We’re taking care of Gracie voluntarily, okay? You didn’t need to ask! Jerk!”
Lydia tugged on Caleb’s sleeve and whispered, “Pipe down. Grace needs to rest.”
Caleb smiled, answering, “You’re right, she does.”
As their gazes met, they suddenly turned around and stopped talking.
When it was dinnertime, Hestia visited Grace and handed her a briefcase. “Xander asked me to give you this,” she said.
When Grace opened it, she saw photos of Yvonne paying someone with money. She gripped them so tightly that her knuckles turned white.
“I thought all Benjamin’s mistress knew was throwing tantrums and playing the victim, but I didn’t expect her to be this cruel. Thank goodness you weren’t seriously hurt,” Hestia said.
Even as she took Grace’s hand, she still trembled with fear. So Grace took Hestia’s hand instead and said, “Don’t worry, Aunt Hestia. I’ll be fully recovered in a few days.”
Something flashed in Grace’s eyes. “If she messes with me, I’ll just mess with her right back.”
A few days later, when Grace left Pamore Airport’s international arrivals terminal, she bumped right into Benjamin and Yvonne.

Yvonne put a hand on her belly and leaned against Benjamin, smiling coldly. “You just had a brush with death, Ms. Lewis. Why didn’t you stay in the hospital for a little longer?”
