Susan grabbed Benjamin’s arm. She had never seen him speak so humbly or so open to discussing things with Grace.

Besides, Grace had always the one to follow their orders. Why had things changed?

“This is the mother–in–law and sister–in–law you’ve taken care of for the past three years? What kind of people have you been serving?” he asked.

“Don’t worry, Aaron,” Grace reassured him.

She had an icy look in her eyes as she scoffed at Susan. “If I’m not wrong, you’re going to tell me your daughter just needs to compensate me, right?”
