Chapter 426 Not Your Place "There's a business reception tonight.

It's time for Amirate to explore some new projects. Would you like to go and take a look?" Grace's eyes lit up, and she readily agreed.

"Sure, I've been worrying about the performance for the second half of the year. I haven't figured out anything yet, but maybe I can develop some new projects through this opportunity." At 7:00 pm, Santio Grand Hotel, which was located in Pamore's most luxurious spot, was now brightly lit.

There was a constant stream of people |

entering the hotel.

Most of those attending this business reception were from some of Pamore's top-notch enterprises.

In other words, if one could get an invitation to this reception, they must already have considerable wealth.

Naturally, Hawkins Group was invited as well.

After helping Benjamin get ready in his suit and tie, Larry respectfully said, "Mr. Hawkins, Futurelink is one of the organizers of tonight's business reception. Ms. Lewis is likely to attend." Benjamin's movements noticeably stiffened, and he looked at himself in the mirror.

After checking that everything was in

order, he casually spoke. "Have the driver bring the car. We'll be leaving." | Larry's eyes showed a hint of surprise.

Benjamin had been unexpectedly calm, even after hearing that Grace would be there.

Although Larry was puzzled, he didn't show it on his face. He replied respectfully, "Yes, sir." When Benjamin came out of the room, he saw Susan, who was dressed up, walking toward him. His expression darkened. "Mom, where are you going?" Susan showed a big smile. "Ms. Landon invited me to attend a banquet. I thought it would be good to go out and socialize and make more friends."

"Ms. Landon? Which Ms. Landon?" Susan looked surprised. "Benjamin, what's wrong with you? Ms. Landon is the lady I wanted to introduce to you before. She's an internationally renowned designer." Upon hearing this, Benjamin immediately understood what was going on.

A sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth. "Mom, have you not been online lately? Or haven't you read the news? This so-called internationally renowned designer is nothing but a plagiarist." With these words, Susan's smiling face collapsed. "What are you talking about?" Benjamin didn't explain much and just

reminded her. "Mom, if you have nothing to do, go out shopping or something. As for that, Ms. Landon, it's better to have less contact with her." Susan was utterly bewildered by the news and chased after him. "Benjamin, what do you mean by that?" "I mean exactly what I said. If you don't believe me, take your phone out and check for yourself." As Benjamin finished speaking, he bumped into Jessica, who was waiting nearby.

Jessica had deliberately dressed up today. She looked elegant and gentle, with a smile that seemed to elicit sympathy.

When she saw Benjamin, she acted as if

she hadn't heard what he had said at all. She took the initiative to greet him, saying, ""Mr. Hawkins, are you going out?" Benjamin snorted coldly and didn't expose Jessica's identity in front of Susan. For Susan, Jessica's true identity was a time bomb.

His eyes turned ice-cold, and he spoke in an unfriendly tone. "Ms. Landon, it's not your place to be here." His words acted like a threat.

However, Jessica seemed to be oblivious to it. She confidently stepped forward and hooked an arm around Susan's, giving her a big smile.

"What are you talking about, Mr.

Hawkins? Madam Hawkins and I get along very well, We've had dinner

together several times before. Since you're so busy and Ms. Celia isn't around, I just wanted to accompany Madam Hawkins."
