Chapter 182 Think of Something New

He admitted that he was jealous. In fact, he was bursting with jealousy.

“Do you have feelings for him?” Benjamin stared at her, asking the question he wanted to ask the most.

“This is my personal business and has nothing to do with you.”

“Is that so?” Benjamin grabbed her wrist and forced her toward his car.

Grace struggled. “Benjamin, let go of me!”

“Say that you don’t have feelings for Xander.”

Grace was furious. “Are you crazy? I’m free to like whoever I want!”

“Say it! Grace, I just want to hear you say it.”

Grace struggled to get free. “I like him! I like him a lot! I’m crazy about him! Are you satisfied now?”

There was a flash of despair in Benjamin’s reddened eyes. He felt like he had just been stabbed in the chest, and it throbbed in pain.

Grace grabbed the chance to get free. She stumbled backward, her eyes wary.

“Benjamin, no matter who I like, it has nothing to do with you. Even if there was no Xander today, there would still be Xeno or Xender … or any other man.

“But that person will never be you. Do you understand?” As Grace spoke, her eyes misted over.

It felt like she was a hair’s breadth away from having a nervous breakdown.

Benjamin laughed mirthlessly and punched the car window. The glass shattered and fell to the ground.

Immediately, bright red blood trickled down his arm and dripped on the ground.

Grace turned and left without looking back. She got in her car and fastened her safety belt.

From the rearview mirror, she could still see the figure standing there. Finally, she stepped on the pedal and sped off.

At that moment, Benjamin’s phone started ringing, but he ignored it. Instead, he simply watched Grace’s car leave,

But the caller was very persistent and called him incessantly.

Finally, Benjamin looked at the flashing number on the screen. He picked up the call. “What is

“Mr. Hawkins, Ms. Quine tried to commit suicide again.”

Suicide again?

Benjamin said scornfully, “Can’t she try something new for once?”

“No, Mr. Hawkins! It’s quite serious this time. She’s already been in the emergency room for almost two hours and hasn’t come out yet. The doctors have notified us three times that she’s in critical condition.”

Benjamin clenched his fists. He really wanted to ignore this news, but he couldn’t do it.

“Mr. Hawkins, the Quines are all here. Even Mr. Quine Senior is here.”

If that was the case, it meant that things were already very bad.

“Which hospital is she in? Tell me the address, and I’ll come over immediately.”

“Yes, Mr. Hawkins.”

After he hung up, Benjamin drove in the direction of the hospital as per Larry’s message.

Grace didn’t know that Yvonne was in the hospital because she had tried to commit suicide.

At this moment, she was heading to Alan’s home with her design drafts. Just like three days ago, the house was filled with professionals from the design industry. They were all more experienced than she was.

There were even a few more new faces that Grace didn’t recognize.

“Ms. Lewis, you’re here!” When Mr. Gordon saw Grace, he took the initiative to greet her.

“May is already here. She’s inside.”

Grace nodded and continued to walk in Alan’s direction.

“Ms. Lewis, you only took three days to complete the design drafts?” The person who said this sounded disbelieving. After all, three days felt too short, no matter how you looked at it.

Even if it was a top designer, they might not be able to finish it, let alone Grace.

“Ms. Lewis, as per our decision three days ago, you will hand in your drafts today. Everyone here is well–known in the fashion industry, and we do things fair and square.”
