Frederick couldn’t resist pressing on. “When they were causing all that trouble for Grace, why didn’t it bother you?

“Now that I’ve just made a few remarks, why are you having a strong reaction? Benjamin, it seems like you’re taking this a bit too seriously, don’t you think?”

Benjamin responded calmly, “Are you feeling chatty today?”

Frederick became even more curious after seeing his evasive reply. He reached out, hooking \his shoulder. “Brother, aren’t you waiting for someone?”

The “someone” in Frederick’s words naturally referred to Grace.

A slight movement appeared at the corner of Benjamin’s mouth. “Are you too free?”

Frederick quickly denied, “No, just a bit curious.”

“Let me remind you–now that you’ve figured out your feelings and want to win Grace back, you need to show sincerity for the mistakes you made in the past. Just admit them and stand upright! Take the hits, and make it right! In simple terms, just treat her better,” he continued.

Benjamin remained unimpressed and said, “I didn’t need you to tell me.”

Just as they were talking, a white Maserati came into view. Frederick couldn’t help but whistle, sounding whimsical, “Buddy, here she comes.”

Grace parked the car in the designated spot, grabbed the gift, and got out of the car.

Most of the people who came today were close relatives of the Hawkins family.

They were somewhat aware of the gossip surrounding Grace and Benjamin, especially their high–profile divorce.

Whispers and discussions ensued among some, unable to hide their surprise.

“Why is she here?”

“Weren’t they divorced? Could, they have reconciled?”

“She’s the Lewis family’s heiress, with a status and background far superior to that of the Hawkins family. Marrying her is considered an extraordinary accomplishment for the Hawkins family.”

Grace kept her eyes straight ahead, ignoring what others were saying.

She walked elegantly in a flowing azure dress. It accentuated her slender figure, and her steps were confident in high heels.

Benjamin took the initiative to greet her. “You’re here.”

Grace nodded slightly, considering it a greeting. “Where’s Grandma?”

Benjamin quickly responded, “Inside. Let me take you in.”

On the side, Frederick couldn’t help but suppress a laugh. Still, he waved to Grace. “Long time, no see. I heard you’ve become my old man’s student, so you’re practically family now.”

Grace gave a simple acknowledgment without saying much. She declined Benjamin’s offer to walk her inside and walked in alone.

“Grandma!”

Upon seeing Grace, Elizabeth approached her and took her hand. “Gracie, you’re here.”

There was now a sea of smiling faces among the Hawkins family relatives who had once looked down on Grace with disdain and mockery. They were fully cognizant of Grace’s status, and each one warmly extended greetings.

“Grace, it’s been a while, and you look more beautiful than ever.”

Benjamin’s younger aunt, Ava Hawkins, was the one who had just spoken. In the past, she and Susan had often picked on Grace. But now, it seemed like she had had a sudden change of heart.

“I heard your grandfather is Harold Lewis. I would like to meet him if there’s a chance,” Ava added.
