In the Lap of Luxury by Unsweetened Chestnuts Novel novel Chapter 371

"Mom, what nonsense are you saying?" Benjamin quickly stopped Susan. He had never imagined that she harbored such malice toward Grace.

He had been truly oblivious.

However, Grace was unfazed. "Mr. Hawkins, I'll take my leave."

Benjamin wanted to catch up with her, but Susan held him back. "Benjamin, I can't breathe. My chest feels tight."

"Madam Hawkins, are you okay?" Jessica was concerned.

Seeing this, Benjamin hurriedly turned to her, looking worried. "Mom, are you okay?"

The next moment, Susan grabbed his arm. "Benjamin, listen to me. Don't get involved with Grace anymore. Look at Jessica. She's such a good girl. You two look like a match made in heaven."

Benjamin frowned as he realized something.

Smiling coldly, he pushed Susan away. Then he said indifferently, "Mom, your acting skills are truly top-notch. I really couldn't see through it before."

"How can you say that, Benjamin? Benjamin—"

No matter how much Susan called out to him, Benjamin ignored her and chased after Grace.

However, he was a step too late. By the time he got out of the restaurant, Grace's car was already far away.

…

Inside the car, Grace played with the business card in her hand. Her gaze was fixed on the name "Jessica Landon".

For some reason, even though Jessica had seemed friendly and kind, Grace sensed that something was off.

She took her phone out and made a call.
