Chapter 12 Her Brothers in Darai

Grace woke up in a luxurious room. The decor in the room hadn’t changed at all. It looked exactly the way she had left it a few years ago.

Turning, she saw a bowl of hot soup on the bedside table. There were a few pretty dresses laid out on the bed for her to choose from as well.

It made her want to cry.

No one had treated her like this in Pamore.

A set of footsteps sounded. A man dressed in all black appeared in her room, exuding

confidence and boldness.

It was her eldest brother, Aaron Lewis, who had brought her home from Pamore.

He was the head of the Lewis family at the moment. Aaron wasn’t one to show his emotions easily.

“Grandpa was really worried when he heard that something had happened to your plane. When he couldn’t call you, he got anxious and had a heart atta Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

Grace became frantic with worry when she heard that her grandfather, Harold Lewis, was sick.

She got out of bed. “Aaron, how’s Grandpa?”

“He’s fine. He’s getting all the rest he needs. You, on the other hand…”

Aaron grabbed her hand and stopped her from leaving the room.

“Have you looked at yourself in the mirror? How can you see Grandpa like this? Do you remember what you promised him?”

Grace immediately jolted to a stop.

Of course she hadn’t forgotten.

She had promised Harold that she would divorce Benjamin if he didn’t end up falling in love

with her.

Then, she would come home and help with the family business in any way.

She had even said she would marry someone from the Donegan family, one of the four major families, to help her family expand their business.

Why was Aaron talking about this so suddenly? Had he already arranged her second marriage?

She had heard that the heir of the Donegan family was a known playboy.

“But Aaron, I just got divorced. I don’t want to remarry so soon,” she pleaded.

Aaron’s heart softened. After all, he was just trying to scare her.

His tone was gentle when he spoke next. “We don’t need you to sacrifice your happiness for the sake of the family. But I need you to get yourself togethe

“While Grandpa is in the hospital, you can work with me.”

In other words, he wanted her to work at Amirate Corporation, the Lewis family business

based in Darai.

Her family had been hoping for this when they had sent her to study business in Eklora.

None of them had expected her to open a boutique in Pamore in pursuit of her dreams and fall in love with Benjamin at first sight.

Aaron and Harold must have been very disappointed.

“Okay.” Grace was ready to agree to anything if it meant she didn’t have to marry someone immediately.

Aaron stared at her for a moment before humming in response.

He was both exasperated and sorry for her. Still, he hoped that her failed marriage had at least taught her a lesson.

“Sir.”

At that moment, a soft knock sounded at the door. It swung open to reveal Aaron’s secretary.

“Hawkins Group from Pamore called. They have questions about their disqualification from Durai Medical Expo. They want to set up a meeting with you

Grace froze. “Aaron, you …

It seemed that Aaron had taken revenge on the Hawkins family almost immediately after he had picked her up.

As for Benjamin, he had acted nonchalant about the expo before. But that was only because he knew Grace would be able to handle it.

However, nothing in this world was guaranteed.

“I did it so you would know that no one can treat a member of the Lewis family badly and get away with it. You know what you should do next,” Aaron said.

Then, he patted her on the shoulder and left with his secretary.

As he left, he said to his secretary, “Find some time to guide Grace through Amirate’s production lines and her job scope as the president’s assistant.”

“Yes, sir.”

Their voices faded away. The large room became silent again.

The president’s assistant…..

This was pretty much the highest position in the company, apart from the president himself.

Grace clenched her fists. This time, she wouldn’t let Aaron down.

“Surprise!”

On the second day after Grace had moved into the office on the top floor of Amirate Corporation, a man burst into her office.
