Chapter 156 Don’t Mess With Grace

The person got excited when they heard about juicy news that could potentially damage someone’s reputation. “Can you tell me which female celebrity this is about? I’m prepared for it.”

Celia calmly stated, “It’s about Grace Lewis, the one from Amirate Corporation. I have evidence of her promiscuous behavior.”

Upon hearing this, the reporter’s excitement vanished.

In a city as large as Pamore, someone would have already given a heads–up. Therefore, no media outlet dared to invade Grace’s privacy anymore.

“Oh, what kind of evidence?” The person asked, seeming uninterested, but Celia didn’t seem to notice.

She was still determined to reveal Grace’s true colors this time so that everyone could get a good look at her.

“I’ll send the photos to your email. You must make sure to publish the news,” she said.

“Sure,” the other person responded in a dismissive manner, but Celia still eagerly sent the photos.

She thought she would replace some gossip about Grace on the news the next day. But to her surprise, there was no entertainment news about Grace at all, even after a whole week.

Even entertainment reporters refused to answer her calls.

“Wow, you sure have an incredible knack for keeping things under wraps, Grace,” Celia muttered in frustration, but she wasn’t planning to give up.

She considered an alternative plan. If the entertainment industry wouldn’t work, she would replace a different approach to expose Grace’s true colors to Benjamin.

She stormed into Hawkins Group and marched straight into Benjamin’s office.

“Ben, take a look at Grace. Ever since she left you, she’s been fooling around with one man after another. What’s gotten into her?” she said.

As Grace’s name came up, the atmosphere in the office grew tense.

Nevertheless, Celia continued to speak without showing any signs of concern, all the while passing the photos from her phone to Benjamin.

Benjamin took a brief look at the photos on her phone. His expression turned grim. He didn’t expect that Grace’s relationship with Timothy would have progressed to such an extent..

Was Timothy, the man he had once considered his close friend, really pursuing his ex–wife?

He couldn’t help but let out a cold snort as he thought about his previous fallout with Grace.”

Have you

had too much free time as of late?” he asked.

Celia had a puzzled expression on her face and asked, “What do you mean?”

Benjamin rapped on the table and remarked, “Have I been so generous with your allowance that you’ve forgotten yourself?”

The mention of her allowance left Celia visibly unsettled.

Her current allowance was already meager. She wouldn’t be able to survive if Benjamin were to deduct more.

“Ben, please don’t cut my allowance! I’ll disappear right away…” She pleaded.

Benjamin’s expression grew serious as he ordered, “Hold it right there.”

“Is there anything else?” Celia asked cautiously.

However, Benjamin pointed at her phone and said, “Delete those pictures. Don’t ever think about messing with Grace again.

“Otherwise, I’ll send you to Firalden for ten years, and you won’t be allowed to come back.”

Celia was on the verge of crying.

“Ben, it’s hard to believe you would treat me like this just because of the b*tch Grace. I’m your sister!” Celia said pitifully.

“Delete the photos now,” Benjamin retorted coldly.

Those four words sent shivers down Celia’s spine.

Before coming here, she had believed that Benjamin would join forces with her against their mutual adversary. To her surprise, he had actually acted against his own interests.

“I’ll delete them, I swear! Please, don’t send me to Firalden. I promise I won’t mess with Grace ever again,” Celia pleaded earnestly.

Benjamin gave a subtle nod to her as he observed her reaction.
