Chapter 15 Back to What It Looked Like

“This ring.” Yvonne handed Benjamin a ring.

It was a simple ring, but it shone slightly under the light.

Benjamin recognized it at first glance. It was the only gift he had given Grace during their three years of marriage.

He took the ring and ran his thumb over the inside of the ring, where their initials were inscribed: B & G.

He still remembered Grace had asked him to put it on for her. However, he had impatiently replied, “Later.”

Even so, she had worn it for three years. He had never seen her without it.

Yvonne was unhappy to see Benjamin lost in thought as he stared at the ring. Still, she kept a

smile on her face.

“This looks like an important ring. How could Ms. Lewis have forgotten it? Should we give it

back to her, or …”

“Why should we give it back to her?” Susan immediately chimed in.

“That woman looks harmless, but she turned her back on us without warning. She’s bad!”

“I agree.” Celia said.

“I had a bad feeling about her when she first came here.”

Benjamin’s expression darkened. He gripped the ring tightly as he remembered what the man on the phone had said earlier. Anger surged in him.

No wonder she had been so anxious to leave. She had already found her next target!

He said coldly, “Throw it away.

Hearing this, Susan said vindictively, “That’s right. Throw away anything that she has ever Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

touched.”

Celia nodded. “Yeah, Mom’s right. Throw them all away and get new stuff.”

Even so, Benjamin didn’t move.

He looked around the bedroom and told the housekeeper, “I don’t like people interfering in my personal life. I want to see this room back to the way it wa the end of the day.”

With that said, he tugged his tie loose and went into his closet to pack his luggage.

Yvonne paled. She stood rooted to the spot, dazed.

“What a hassle! It’s just furniture. Why is Benjamin making such a big deal about it?”

Celia flung herself onto the couch, muttering under her breath. “Grace changed the decor around all the time to seduce him. He never said anything to h

When Grace had been here, he had shunned her. Now that she was gone, he wouldn’t allow anyone to touch her things.

Something was wrong with him.

Susan could see how upset Yvonne looked. She gave Celia a light slap on the head and said, “Be quiet!”

Then, she turned to Yvonne and said placatingly, “Benjamin’s just a little particular about his things. He doesn’t allow anyone to touch his belongings. Don’t take it personally.”

Yvonne could barely hear her. She kept staring at Benjamin.

This was their bedroom, and there were traces of Grace everywhere. It was normal for him to remember her when he slept here every night. 1

She knew that Benjamin was serious. She had to return the bedroom to its previous state.

Yvonne couldn’t help but feel uneasy.

Benjamin wasn’t as indifferent to Grace as he had seemed!

As Benjamin packed his luggage, an idea formed in Yvonne’s mind.
