"It's almost the new year, Grandma. I came to visit you and to bring you a gift." p Grace put her things down and went up to help Elizabeth. "How has your health been recently?" "I've been very bored. It's been a long time since I felt this happy." Elizabeth gripped Grace's hand tightly, looking delighted to see her.
"Are you really that busy? You're just like Benjamin! He can't even make time to come home and visit!" Grace hugged her and said comfortingly,
"Well, I'm here now! When Benjamin isn't so busy, he'll surely come by too." | § Elizabeth had accepted that Grace-would | no longer be her granddaughter-in-law, but she still couldn't help feeling that it | was a pity. She sighed.
| "Will you have lunch here, Ms. Lewis?" , "Yes. I miss the vegan food that you make." . Grace always spoke so sweetly, and she was also very helpful. Everyone liked her.

There hadn't been much of a change at the old residence. When Grace got up, she caught a glimpse of the black-and-white photo on the table.
It was the one that she had seen last time.
At the time, she had thought it was Benjamin, but now she realized that it

>» He had been an assertive man.
Grace was lost in her thoughts for a moment. She suddenly wondered if Alexander was dead. After all, it was a black-and-white photo.
Elizabeth saw her staring into space. : "What are you thinking about, Gracie?" Grace wanted to ask, but she didn't know how. Elizabeth probably didn't know that Grace had already found out the truth.
"Nothing much. It's just that I saw the maid bustling around so busily, so I thought that it must be tiring for her." In the end, she didn't ask her question.
Instead, she got up to help Amanda by the table.
Elizabeth did not like having too many people around, so she only had one maid to take care of her.
"I've been serving Mrs. Hawkins Senior

It's not tiring." >» "Hasn't there been any other maids over d such a long period of time?" — After she had married into the Hawkins family, Grace had taken care of most | everyday matters without the help of a maid. : However, it seemed rather strange when taking into account the Hawkinses' fortune.
There was no answer, so Grace asked blithely, "There must have been, right?" Elizabeth was old, but not stupid. She stumped forward with her walking stick.
"What do you want to ask, child?" "Nothing. It's just that there's a new janitor at the office, and I saw on her resume that she used to work for this family. I was just curious," Grace said innocently.
Elizabeth looked surprised. "What's her
name?" » "She's named Reina Wallis." When Elizabeth heard the name, her expression changed at once. "What's she doing being a janitor at your company?" Grace was unsure what to say, so she made up an excuse. "I didn't see her ) while I was with the family. She wouldn't know who I was, would she?" "That woman is dishonest. Find an excuse to fire her." Elizabeth looked unusually stern.
"Huh? Was she caught stealing?" "Just fire her." Elizabeth pressed her lips together and didn't speak further. Grace guessed that it was a serious issue, so she tried to dig for more information.
"I even saw Celia with her." Elizabeth was even angrier when she | heard this. "When did that woman come
back?" y Grace looked innocent.
"I knew it! I knew that she hadn't given up!" Elizabeth muttered to herself. She stumped back to her room with her walking stick and shut the door. She was obviously very agitated.
After 20 minutes, Elizabeth still hadn't come out. Amanda was worried and said, "It's time for lunch. Ms. Lewis, you'd better go and have a look."
