In the Lap of Luxury

Chapter 396 Who Are You

Xander smiled gently and tightened his grip on Grace's hand.

"I'm curious about that, too. However, a fox will eventually reveal its tail."

…

Meanwhile, Jessica lounged by the beach, enjoying the sun in Pamore. She held a glass of wine between her fingers with contentment. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.

"Mr. Hawkins, why the stern face? How about sitting down and having a drink with me?"

Benjamin looked down at her, and although she looked unfamiliar, she oddly gave him a sense of familiarity.

"Name your price," Benjamin said, his tone devoid of warmth.

Jessica smirked, raising an eyebrow.

"You're straightforward, Mr. Hawkins. However, I'm curious. Why are you here to see me today? What reasons do you have? I recall you and Grace divorced long ago."

Benjamin had no intention of wasting another breath on Jessica. His purpose for meeting her was simply to persuade her to retract her accusations against Grace.

"This is between me and her. It's none of your business."

Benjamin took out a blank check and handed it to Jessica. "Write any amount you want."

Jessica smiled. She didn't take the check. Instead, she looked at him in the eye.

"Mr. Hawkins, are you this generous with all your women? Is it worth it for you to spend so much on an ex-wife? You can take the check back. I'm not interested in money."

Benjamin snorted, "You don't want money? Yet, you demand one billion dollars from her. It seems you don't dislike money—you just don't want my money."

Jessica got up and strode toward Benjamin. His scent engulfed her.

He was Benjamin, alright. Despite all these years, his charm remained undiminished. No wonder so many women fell for him one after another.

"Mr. Hawkins, it's distasteful to talk about money. How about we talk about something else?"

Benjamin withdrew the check hesitantly. Then, he spat, "What do you want to talk about?"

Jessica approached him and stopped within a foot of him. She tilted her head back and smiled. "I'm still quite interested in you."

She moved closer to kiss his cheek, but Benjamin forcefully pushed her away. His face darkened.

"Ms. Landon, please control yourself."

Jessica laughed. "Who are you saving yourself for? Grace? You haven't forgotten, have you? You once made a promise to someone, but you broke it."

Benjamin's eyes were clouded with confusion. He didn't understand what she meant.

But Jessica didn't explain.

"No one can interfere in the matters between Grace and me, including you. This time, I'll make Grace pay the price!"

Her words were determined, and her eyes were filled with intense hatred.

Benjamin couldn't help but feel confused for a moment. It was as if this woman before him was acting like someone in his memory.

"Who are you?"

Jessica regained her composure.

She smiled and replied, "What do you think, Mr. Hawkins?"
