Chapter 211 Thank You for Giving Up

Benjamin struggled to restrain his emotions.

Yet he maintained a calm facade and changed the topic. “This b*dycon dress is nice.”

Grace sensed his interest in the dress and asked, “Are you interested in this dress too, Mr.

Hawkins?”

Benjamin didn’t explain much. He simply said, “Everyone likes nice things, don’t they?”

Hearing that, Grace noticed that he seemed to be implying something but didn’t dwell on it.” Well, thank you for giving up, Mr. Hawkins.” With that said, she turned to leave.

Benjamin didn’t say anything else and just watched her walk away.

The next moment, Sherry, who was standing nearby, shamelessly approached him. “Mr. Hawkins, can you lend me three million dollars?”

When Benjamin turned around and saw her eager face, a hint of mockery flashed in his eyes. I’ve never had the habit of lending money to others.”

Sherry was embarrassed to receive such a clear refusal. But now, she had no way to get ten

million dollars. In the end, she was forcefully kicked out by the security. Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.

After Benjamin left the auction, his mood remained unpleasant. He sat in the driver’s seat of his car and smoked one cigarette after another. Soon, the car was filled with smoke.

As he looked at the scattered cigarette butts, he couldn’t hold back and called Larry. “Check all- the recent projects Grace has been handling at Amirate.

Larry didn’t ask much and just replied, “Okay, Mr. Hawkins.”

Then, Benjamin continued, “I want results in an hour.”

After hanging up the phone, he started the car and drove away.

Larry was quick at his job. In less than an hour, all the information about the projects Grace was handling was sent to Benjamin’s phone.

Benjamin went through them one by one.

There were some routine projects and some collaborations with people in Frenda.

When he saw the name “Timothy“, he couldn’t help but pause. Unexpectedly, Timothy was doing well at Amirate and was handling several major projects.

“Mr. Hawkins, it seems that Ms. Lewis hasn’t been handling any projects at Amirate recently,”

Benjamin raised an eyebrow and asked, “So what has she been busy with lately?”

“Ms. Lewis took over from Professor Morris to handle a fashion show that will be held in Pamore this year. She’s the chief designer.”

At those words, Benjamin’s movements came to a sudden halt.

He seemed to have thought of something. “You mean Pamore’s fashion show?”

No wonder Grace had bought that b*dycon dress. It must be for the fashion show.

“I remember the organizers approaching us before, wanting to rent a venue from Hawkins Group.”

“Yes, Mr. Hawkins. But weren’t you planning on rejecting it?”

Without even lifting his head, Benjamin said, “I’m not rejecting it anymore. Give them the venue. Consider it a sponsorship.”

Larry was so shocked that his mouth hung wide open.

The rental for Hawkins Group’s venue was at least several million dollars per day. Yet Benjamin had decided to sponsor it for Grace’s sake.

“Understood, Mr. Hawkins. I’ll arrange it right away.”

As the chief designer for the fashion show, Grace focused all her attention on the designs. She was personally involved in every detail, big or small.

Therefore, she had no idea that Hawkins Group was providing the venue for the fashion show.
