Chapter 108 Saying Goodbye to the Past

No one in the crowd dared to intervene. They watched in astonishment as Quine Group’s guards escorted Yvonne away.

Anyone involved in an extramarital affair should face its consequences.

Nonetheless, the crowd was filled with continuous whispers and expressions of empathy.

“Quine Group and Lewis Corporation would have reached the stars if they had formed an alliance.”

“Benjamin had a perfect marriage with the heiress of the Lewis family, but he ruined it by cheating on her.”

“Benjamin must be kicking himself for his foolishness.”

Amidst the crowd’s judgmental looks, Benjamin looked at Grace, who stood out like a star. He felt a whirlwind of emotions churning within him.

He had been in a state of profound shock ever since the truth had been revealed.

The remarkable change in their statuses following the divorce made everything seem rather

surreal.

He recalled a time three years ago when Grace had taken the initiative to propose their marriage and agreed to keep their identities secret.

He had been grateful for her thoughtfulness and maturity. Over the three years, she had truly

fulfilled her role as a wife.

Benjamin couldn’t help but wonder why a woman of her stature had married him while hiding her true identity.

“Mr. Hawkins, I would like a private conversation about your relationship with my sister,” Aaron said as he seemingly appeared out of nowhere.

Benjamin stayed composed and unfazed, even with all the rumors and gossip surrounding him.

His remarkable composure set him apart from the others. When one let go of preconceived notions, it was evident that Benjamin was a worthy match for

“What is it, Mr. Lewis?”

Aaron straightforwardly said, “Mr. Hawkins, regardless of what you and Grace had or any misunderstandings between you two, it’s all in the past now.”

“And?” Benjamin casually responded. He showed no signs of backing down from his innate sense of sophistication.

Aaron couldn’t help but be surprised. This man was indeed as tough as the rumors said.

“Mr. Hawkins, let’s be frank. Grace has suffered enough during her three years with your family. Your family’s actions haven’t been commendable either.

“If we delve into it, our family has its own share of things to hold you accountable for,” he

said.

“Is that so? If relationship matters could be resolved that easily, the world wouldn’t have so many people struggling with love.

“Mr. Lewis, I hold you in high regard as Grace’s brother, but that doesn’t mean you can interfere in my personal affairs.

“As for the issues between Grace and me, no one should try to interfere,” Benjamin responded. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

Aaron’s eyebrows rose in response. He said, “Mr. Hawkins, I appreciate your boldness.

“But are you not concerned about my family’s intervention? Although your family wields considerable influence in Pamore, you’re nothing in the eyes of our family.”

His message was clear.

It left Benjamin with no doubt that the Lewis family wanted him gone like an elephant crushing an ant.

However, Benjamin didn’t seem concerned. He remarked, “You never know until you try.”

Their gazes locked in a tense moment. “We’ll see about that, Mr. Hawkins,” Aaron responded

firmly.

Clearly, he had declared war. Yet Benjamin showed no fear.

He shifted his attention to Grace, who stood beside Harold. He couldn’t resist her radiating smile and walked toward her.
