Chapter 93 Tainted Reputation
“Am I right?” Grace’s mocking voice came through the phone.
Yet, Benjamin showed no remorse. “You’re not capable of fighting Richard now. I’m doing this for your own good.”
“Save your hypocrisy and let him come at me!”
The call abruptly ended. Benjamin stared at the darkening screen with anger after being rejected.
He thought, “This stupid woman! Let’s see how you’ll handle this!”
Just then, his surbordinate reported from the front seat, “Mr. Hawkins, Larry just sent a text. He said there are some issues with the project in Frenda, and he needs you to go there in
person.”
Benjamin closed his eyes and took a deep breath. “Okay. Arrange the earliest flight.”
The business in Frenda was important, which was why he had entrusted Larry with overseeing
Lately, Benjamin had been busy with his company’s affairs and had become much busier without Grace’s help.
He felt that he should let her go through some trials. When she had nothing left, he could give her a helping hand. That would make her return to work for Hawkins Group easily.
After Grace hung up the phone, she turned to find Victor restraining Caleb, preventing him from rushing in to interrupt. When the call was over, Victor finally let go.

“Are you itching for some beatings?” Victor warned Caleb with a glare, and Caleb immediately

“That’s right! How can you be so hard on your dear little brother? I’m going to tell Aaron and Grandpa!” Seeing Grace standing up for him, Caleb immediately counterattacked.

“I didn’t touch your arm.” Victor calmly took a seat. “If necessary, I’ll have the family doctor come over. I’ll cover the expenses.”
“You!” Caleb turned to Grace. “Scold him, Gracie!”

Caleb and Victor came to her room after learning about the trending controversy.
“Gracie, are you okay?” Caleb approached Grace and gently stroked her hair.
“Caleb, I’m sorry for getting you involved in this mess.”
“I have plenty of loyal fans. I don’t mind such a little thing,” he reassured her.
“I can help you delete all these posts, but it might attract the attention of the Cybersecurity Department due to the scale,” Victor suggested calmly.
“No need, Victor. Even if we delete them, there will be more. This is a well–planned attack.”
Was this Richard’s retaliation Benjamin had mentioned? The impact this time was indeed greater than before.
“Aaron just called and said he will take the earliest flight back. He wants you to stay home for a few days and not go to the company. Let Luke deal with business matters for now.”
