Chapter 234 Elizabeth’s Birthday Banquet “Don’t be modest. | just believe that you will find your happiness,” Grace said sincerely.
Timothy looked relaxed and nodded in agreement. He didn’t say anything, but his eyes reflected how resolute he was in his decision.
In the following days, Grace was busy catching up on the work that had been pending since she had been busy with the fashion show. When Saturday finally arrived, she could take a
break.
Early in the morning, she received a call from Elizabeth.
“Gracie, will you be coming to Hawkins Manor today?”
Grace hesitated a bit. But she sensed the anticipation in Elizabeth’s tone and decided to agree. “Grandma, it’s your birthday, so I'll definitely be there on time.”
Overjoyed, Elizabeth smiled. “Good, good, good! I'll be waiting for you here.”

After hanging up the phone, Grace looked out of the window. The morning sunlight streamed into the room, casting a warm glow. The weather was perfect today.
Grace took out the emerald jewelry she had bought at the auction and called for the housekeeper, Britley Lawson.
“Britley, help me find a gift box to pack this.”
“Yes, madam.”
Britley quickly wrapped the gift.
Grace admired the packaging. “You're very good at this.”
“Madam, where are you heading today?” Britley asked.
“Hawkins Manor,” Grace replied.
Britley didn’t ask too much after that.
Later, Grace chose a white Maserati in the garage and drove to Hawkins Manor.

“Mom, today is your birthday, and Geraldine has specially prepared a gift for you.” Benjamin’s aunt-in-law, Olivia Henderson, pulled her daughter, Geraldine Hawkins, over to offer birthday wishes.
“Grandma, happy birthday.”
Elizabeth withdrew her gaze. She smiled and nodded. “Very thoughtful of you. Thank you.”
However, Olivia linked her arm with Elizabeth's. “Mom, since it’s your birthday, let’s talk about Geraldine’s love life. She’s 25 years old now-the perfect age to consider marriage. Do you know any eligible candidates around?”
“Mom, what are you talking about?” exclaimed Geraldine. She was clearly annoyed.
But Olivia persisted, “Sweetie, you're at the age where marriage is on the table. It’s not right to be 25 years old and still not have a partner.”
Geraldine felt frustrated. She retorted, “My personal life is none of your business!”
Undeterred, Olivia pulled a stack of documents from her bag, saying, “Mom, I’ve done some research. I’ve gathered information on eligible candidates under 30 years old in Pamore. Take a look and tell me your thoughts.
As she walked over, Susan couldn’t help but comment, “Seriously, Olivia? It's Mom’s birthday, and you're bringing up all this matchmaking stuff.”
Susan’s relationship with Olivia, her sister-in-law, had always been a bit rocky.
