apter 147 Eavesdropping

Luke placed the contract in front of Grace. “Take a look for yourself.“,

Grace hadn’t expected that Nexa Group would be so sincere,

“Well, in that case, we’ll agree to this collaboration for now. But we’ll need to finalize the contract after our next meeting with them.”

“Yes, Ms. Lewis.”

With this matter settled, Grace’s mood instantly improved. She became energized and was

more focused on her work.

Since she was fully immersed in her work, she didn’t notice that a figure had quietly entered

her office.

Upon seeing Grace so engrossed, Emily had a look of disbelief in her eyes. She hadn’t expected Grace to be so deeply absorbed in her work.

After walking up to the desk, she tapped on it a few times. However, Grace didn’t look up and simply said, “Yes, Luke. Could you make me a cup of coffee?”

Emily was left speechless.

Only when Grace noticed there was no response did she raise her head. At once, her eyes were filled with surprise. “Emily? Why are you here?”

Emily sighed helplessly. “Who did you think it was?”

Grace quickly put down the documents in her hand and got up, grabbing Emily’s arm.

“Why didn’t you give me a heads–up if you were coming? I thought you were Luke.”

“I called you, but you didn’t answer.” Emily shrugged.

At her words, Grace quickly picked up her phone and noticed that she had several missed calls. “I’m so sorry! My phone was on silent.”

Emily had no choice but to drop the matter. “Never mind. You workaholic! You just forget everything once you’re working. You haven’t even come to the store to help me.”

Apologetically, Grace said, “I’m sorry, Emily.”

Seeing how tired Grace looked, Emily couldn’t help but feel for her. “Alright, I forgive you. But your skin hasn’t been looking great lately. How about we go for a spa session later?”

Only then did Grace realize that she hadn’t been taking care of her skin recently, and its condition had deteriorated significantly.

“Oh no. I really need to take better care of my skin.”

Without hesitation, Grace followed Emily to a nearby spa.

They selected a VIP room and enjoyed a full–b*dy treatment, leaving them both feeling completely relaxed.

As they were about to rest, they heard voices coming from the adjacent room.

“It’s so rare for us to be out together. We should make the most of it and relax.” The person speaking was Susan. Although they hadn’t seen each other for a while, Grace immediately recognized her voice.

“Mrs. Hawkins, you’re getting harder and harder to meet! Have you forgotten us after replaceing out that your daughter–in–law is the granddaughter of the world’s richest person?”

The news of Grace being Harold’s granddaughter was no longer new.

There were no secrets amongst socialites, and various rumors had long been circulating.

In addition to that, Susan hadn’t treated Grace well in the past, often complaining about Grace’s shortcomings and even belittling her in front of her friends.

With Grace’s true identity revealed, Susan’s friends were eager to gossip. Though they were aware of Grace and Benjamin’s divorce, they chose to play dumb.

Susan was always arrogant and often gave them a hard time. Now that they had finally found a vulnerability in her, they naturally wanted to enjoy her misfortune.

“Mrs. Hawkins, you should really consider introducing your daughter–in–law to us. It’s good to get acquainted. After all, you never know when we might need her help in the future.”
