Chapter 185 The Best Actress Award

Alan continued, “As far as I’m concerned, you don’t need to seek any more investors.

“The task of manufacturing the clothing for this show can be completely entrusted to Amirate’s subsidiary company. Even the subsequent orders can be

Upon hearing this, Grace’s eyes shone with excitement.

This would further boost Amirate’s overall performance!

She was filled with joy and overwhelmed with gratitude. “Thank you, Professor Morris!” she said.

“You don’t have to be so formal, my child,” Alan responded.

“After all, I appreciate talent. A promising talent like you shouldn’t be wasted.”

Alan’s words were a clear affirmation of Grace.

Grace, however, felt a little embarrassed and said, “Professor Morris, you praise me too much.

Alan laughed. “My dear, you have truly won my heart!”

As the conversation unfolded, the crowd around them detected an underlying meaning behind

Alan’s words.

It was widely known that Alan had been on the lookout for a successor for the past two years. The design industry, including numerous design students f

Yet, to everyone’s surprise, none of them had met his criteria.

Ultimately, Grace was the unexpected choice.

A sense of envy arose among some of them. Grace really was a fortunate woman, hadn’t she?

Meanwhile, at the hospital, Benjamin strolled, taking measured steps.

Larry greeted him, “Mr. Hawkins, you’re here. Ms. Quine is fine now. She was just taken into

the ward,”

Benjamin halted his steps abruptly.

A hint of mockery flashed across his eyes as he smirked. “Didn’t you just tell me she’s in critical condition? How did she recover so quickly?”

Larry’s face gave away how uncomfortable he felt. He had never expected Yvonne to orchestrate such a scene, that too in collusion with the doctors.

“Sir, why don’t you go and see Yvonne?”

Benjamin snorted. There was no warmth on his face. “Since she’s fine, then let her be.”

As he was about to turn around, Larry stopped him and said, “Mr. Hawkins, you should still see her! If you don’t, who knows what she will do next time.”

After all, she had made one suicide attempt after another. Even the prison guards had been reprimanded because of her.

Benjamin found it suspicious. She was being so unruly in prison, of all places. What did she actually want?

He had only come here today out of guilt toward the Quine family.

But now it seemed that Yvonne was going to absolve him of his guilt.

“Which ward is she in?” Benjamin inquired.

Larry pointed to furthest room. “It’s the one with two police officers guarding the entrance.”

Benjamin proceeded toward the room.

After confirming his identity and completing the necessary registration, the police granted him access to the ward.

As Benjamin pushed open the door, the scent of disinfectant grew stronger in the air. Yvonne lay lifelessly on the hospital bed. Her gaze was unfocused

She only snapped out of her trance when Benjamin approached her. With a glimmer of joy in her eyes, she sat up abruptly. “Benjamin, you finally came!”

Her sudden movement accidentally tugged at the needle on the back of her palm. It must have hurt, but she didn’t so much as flinch.

“I thought I would never see you again. I never expected you would actually come,” she continued. She seemed to be overwhelmed by emotions. As she spoke, her eyes welled

tears.

Benjamin looked at her coldly, his face devoid of any form of sympathy.

He lightly pressed his l*ps together and said, “After all these acts, I think you should be eligible for the Best Actress award.”

Yvonne shook her head in disagreement. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

“It’s not like that, Benjamin!” she protested, her eyes shifting toward the police officers
