Chapter 188 Can We Still Be Friends

The woman stepped on the gas pedal.

She had a wild impulse to destroy Grace.

If only Grace disappeared from this world, then she would be the chief designer for Pamore’s fashion show, without question. That way, no one would be able to take that position from her anymore.

May gripped the wheel tightly.

Right at that moment, a Bentley suddenly stopped in front of Grace’s car, and May abruptly stopped driving as well. Benjamin had asked Larry to check Grace’s whereabouts, and he had sped all the way here.

Once he parked the car, he hurriedly opened the door and got out.

Grace frowned. Benjamin was like a piece of gum that she couldn’t get rid of.

“Grace!”

The moment he saw her, Benjamin’s emotions flooded out.

He really wanted to make it up to her. He wanted to compensate her for the wrongs he had committed in the past. “Mr. Hawkins, do you have a lot of free time?” Grace's tone was frivolous. She didn’t really

want to give him any attention.

Benjamin pressed his lips together. Then, he said, “Grace, no matter what the past was like,

it's all over now. | think... can we ... can we be friends?”

Grace thought she had heard him wrong.

What kind of joke was this?

Was Benjamin actually requesting to be friends with her?

“Mr. Hawkins, have you been drinking? Or are you delirious?”

Benjamin’s deep gaze was intense as he stared at her. “Grace, listen to me! In the past, we had a lot of misunderstandings because of Yvonne.

“But now Yvonne is getting the punishment she deserves, and | no longer have anything to do with her. So | really do want to start over with you. Starting with friendship-”

Grace laughed out loud.

“Mr. Hawkins, I’m afraid you’ve made a mistake! | don’t lack friends. I’m also very particular. Not everyone is worthy of being my friend.”

Benjamin understood the sarcasm and rejection in her tone.

But he really had realized his previous wrongdoings and just wanted to make up for those mistakes as a friend. Was that not allowed?

“Mr. Hawkins, do you think the reason | dislike you so much is because of Yvonne? Do you think that if she’s out of the picture, I'll accept you again and make up with you?”

Benjamin was puzzled. “Won't you?”

Grace lowered her eyes, a smile playing about her lips, and revealed the ugly truth to him word for word.

“Even today, you still don’t understand. The biggest problem between us is you.

“You were a really terrible husband. In the three years that we were married, you didn’t even fulfill a tiny bit of your responsibility as a husband.

“You even allowed your mother and your sister to make things difficult and awkward for me on purpose. You allowed me to be slandered and for people to make rumors about me. You never even had an ounce of trust in me.

“You had an affair during our marriage and paraded around town with that homewrecker. When my life was in danger, you didn’t even care.

“You made me waste three years of my youth and made me realize that those three years weren't worth it at all.”

Once she had finished, she felt a chill in her heart.

Benjamin had pushed her away from him himself.

He was also the one who had personally killed every bit of love she’d had for him.

After she had gone through all of that ...

How dare Benjamin think that a light apology and a request to start over would be enough to make her mend things with him? He must be dreaming!

Didn’t he know? Sometimes it was just too late.

Grace closed her window and stepped on the gas. She left without saying another word.
