Chapter 35 Fined and Jailed

“Benjamin, why are you negotiating with that unlucky jinx?”

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?

She marched over to Grace with an arrogant expression and tone. “So what if we’re slandering you? What reputation do you even have?

“You didn’t say anything back when our family was yelling at you!” Susan screeched.

But when she noticed Benjamin’s expression fall, she realized her mistake.

She had just exposed her attitude toward Grace for the past three

years.

Aaron couldn’t take it anymore and glanced at Grace from the side.

“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.

Then he remembered his sister’s embarrassment and composed himself. “It’s your choice, but if you end up embarrassing the family, I’ll hold you responsible.”

“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?”
