Chapter 78 What the Hawkins Owe the Quines
Grace smiled lightly. “Thank you for your concern, everyone. I have recovered.”
She continued, “Regarding the accident … I believe that our country’s laws won’t allow a good person to be unjustly accused. Likewise, it won’t let a bad person go frée.”
The reporters started asking about Caleb again.

“There are rumors online saying that Simon dropped all his work after the car accident so that he could come and take care of you. Is this true?”
“Would you be able to reveal a bit about your relationship with Simon?”
“Are wedding bells ringing soon for you?”
Grace laughed helplessly. The reporters still remembered that. “At the moment, I have nothing to say about the relationship between Simon and I.”
Seeing that they were not going to get any answers, the reporters began to retreat.
Benjamin was standing on the sidelines. When he heard that she had “nothing to say“, he gave her a complicated look.
He wanted to ask about Xander, and he also wanted to ask what the relationship between her
and that clown Simon was.
He was just as curious as the media and reporters.
However, all he could do was watch Grace pick up her bag and stride off haughtily.
That night, Benjamin returned to the president’s office at Hawkins Group.
He had been dealing with Yvonne’s incident at the police station all day, and he was a little
tired.
Yvonne had been released on bail while awaiting trial. Her crying had annoyed him, so he had
sent her back to Quine Residence.
It would be chaos back home, and he had no wish to hear Susan and Celia bickering. It would be much more peaceful to stay in the office for a while.
When he turned on the lights, he saw that Richard Quine was seated in his chair.
He was a little shocked at first, but considering the incident with Yvonne, it was understandable that Mr. Richard was here.
“Hello, Mr. Quine Senior.”
Richard cut straight to the chase. “When are you going to marry Yvonne?”

Benjamin paused in the midst of putting down his coat. He had been wondering about that too.
“Let’s talk about that once some time has passed. I’ve been too busy lately.”
“Hmph! You’ve already been divorced for a few months, and yet you still don’t want to make things official with Yvonne! What on earth are you thinking?” Richard wasn’t placated.
Benjamin felt his annoyance grow stronger. “She’s got a criminal record now because of the car accident. I’m afraid my family will not approve.”
Richard said disdainfully, “You married Grace even though she has no background whatsoever. Would you really care about a small thing like this?”
“Is attempted murder a small thing?” Benjamin was thunderstruck at Richard’s cold- bloodedness.
“Remember that the Hawkins still owe my family a life!” Richard slammed his hands down on the table, his voice cold and menacing.
“Danielle’s death was your brother’s fault! Now you’re letting Yvonne carry the reputation of being the other woman in a relationship!
“She’s a disgrace to the Quine family’s name because of you. How shameless can the Hawkins family get?”
“Mr. Quine Senior, insult me all you want. But Alexander … is dead now. Let it go.” A hint of pain flashed in Benjamin’s eyes.
Years ago, his oldest brother, Alexander, and Yvonne’s oldest sister, Danielle, had gone out on a trip. The trip ended with both of them dying in a car accident.
From then on, the Hawkins had owed a debt to the Quines.

He said, “When that time comes, we’ll see if you still have lingering feelings for her.”
“That’s not your decision to make!”
