Chapter 371 A Master of Acting

“Mom, what nonsense are you saying?” Benjamin quickly stopped Susan. He had never imagined that she harbored such malice toward Grace.

He had been truly oblivious.

However, Grace was unfazed. “Mr. Hawkins, I’ll take my leave.”

Benjamin wanted to catch up with her, but Susan held him back. “Benjamin, I can’t breathe. My chest feels tight.”

“Madam Hawkins, are you okay?” Jessica was concerned.

Seeing this, Benjamin hurriedly turned to her, looking worried. “Mom, are you okay?”

The next moment, Susan grabbed his arm. “Benjamin, listen to me. Don’t get involved with Grace anymore. Look at Jessica. She’s such a good girl. You two look like a match made in heaven.”

Benjamin frowned as he realized something.

Smiling coldly, he pushed Susan away. Then he said indifferently, “Mom, your acting skills are truly top-notch. I really couldn’t see through it before.”

“How can you say that, Benjamin? Benjamin-”

No matter how much Susan called out to him, Benjamin ignored her and chased after Grace.

However, he was a step too late. By the time he got out of the restaurant, Grace’s car was already far away.

Inside the car, Grace played with the business card in her hand. Her gaze was fixed on the name “Jessica Landon”.

For some reason, even though Jessica had seemed friendly and kind, Grace sensed that something was off.

She took her phone out and made a call.

Soon, Zoey’s voice came through. “What’s up? Did you miss me?”

Grace smiled. “Are you busy?”

Zoey complained, “Busy as a bee. What’s up? Do you need me for something?”

Grace didn’t beat around the bush. “I want to ask you about someone.”

“Who’s so important that you’re personally inquiring about them?”

“Have you heard of Jessica Landon? She’s a designer, quite famous internationally.”

“Wait, what did you say? Jessica Landon? The name sounds familiar. I think I’ve heard it somewhere, but I can’t recall. Hold on a moment.”

After that, there was a rustling sound on the other end of the line. After a couple of minutes, Zoey’s voice came through again.

“I knew this name sounded familiar. It’s her! Do you know the internationally renowned fashion designer, Jion?”

Grace raised an eyebrow. “You mean she’s Jion?”

“Bingo! Jion is Jessic’s alias!”

Then, Zoey enthusiastically began to introduce Jessica.

“She’s very famous internationally. Just like you, she studied fashion design and has won

many awards, including the Vogue Design Award that you won in your third year. She’s also a graduate of Coronia University.”

Grace nodded. “She’s my senior.”

“That’s right. Jion is very influential in the design industry. She has millions of followers on Instagram. Teenagers, especially students, love her designs.”

After a series of explanations, Zoey finally asked, “By the way, how do you know her?”
