Chapter 400 Stop Investigating
Grace wanted to refuse. But Benjamin's words were too tempting. He must have found out something for him to come here outof the blue.
Grace didn't give him an immediate answer. Instead, she looked at Xander.
After some thought, she said, "I'll send you my location."
"Okay."
After ending the call, Grace wanted to explain, but Xander had already read her mind."Gracie, do what you think is right."
Grace was surprised for a moment and then nodded gently.
In just an hour, Benjamin arrived. When he saw Grace, his eyes lit up with surprise.Larry, who had followed him, was the first to greet her, "Ms. Lewis!"
“Larry, it's been a while." Grace's tone remained the same, which surprised Larry. Even though her position was higher than hisnow, she didn't treat him any differently.
That warmed Larry's heart.Grace politely offered, "Mr. Hawkins, please have a seat." She felt the distance between them had grown.Benjamin furrowed his brows in displeasure.
However, Grace got straight to the point and asked, "Mr. Hawkins, you came all this way, so | assume it's not just for a friendlychat. Why don't you state your purpose?"
Benjamin smirked. He hesitated before asking, "Grace, what have you found about Jessica in your investigation?"
Grace looked away and didn't answer him immediately.
Benjamin continued, "Grace, please stop investigating, alright?"
It was the first time Benjamin had spoken to her in this manner. His tone was softer instead of his usual authoritative one.Grace was bewildered.
"Do you even know what you're saying?"

Grace chuckled, but it wasn't a genuine smile. Instead, it held a hint of sarcasm. "Mr. Hawkins, is this the purpose of your visittoday?"
"No, | just—"
Grace interrupted him, saying, "When did you become so close to Jessica? Close enough to come to mediate on her behalf?"novelbin

Grace voiced her inner doubts. "Benjamin, what do you know?"
Benjamin waved his hand, dismissing Larry, who took the hint and left them alone.
"Grace, some things can't be explained in a few words, but | hope you can trust me and stop the investigation.Grace smirked and looked at him coldly. She sat there silently, as if she were lost in some memory.
