Chapter 57 What Right Do I Have

“Delete it right now.” Benjamin’s brows furrowed.

“It was not what you think. There’s more to it, but you weren’t there afterward.”

Frederick didn’t believe him. “How could it not be? She’s exactly that kind of person.

“If you hadn’t made me leave, I would’ve gone and slapped those two cheating bastards. They should feel ashamed of their adulterous act!”

Recalling the lonely expression on Benhamin’s face the other day, Frederick felt a rush of injustice on his friend’s behalf.

The more he talked about the incident, the angrier he became. “She messed with me at the racecourse and even threatened me. I have to let people know her true colors!”

“Is that so? I’m waiting for you to slap me.” Grace’s indifferent voice pierced Frederick’s ears, making him jerk in surprise.

“Why the hell are you everywhere?” Frederick shuddered with goosebumps all over his b*dy. How unlucky of him to always get caught red–handed when talking behind someone’s back.

Grace’s arms were folded before her chest as she stood behind him.

She turned to Zoey, who was next to her. “Very well. It looks like we don’t have to search for the culprit anymore. He’s right in front of us.”

Furious, Emily pointed at Frederick and scolded, “So it’s you who’s bullying my Grace! I’m going to teach you a lesson!”

Grace held her back, took out her phone, and typed something on it for a while.

After that, she showed it to Frederick and said, “I sent your wife a photo of you fooling around

with the ladies.”

Frederick immediately let go of the two women in his arms, exclaiming, “Grace! You told on

.me?”

“I heard that your wife is making more money than you, and you don’t have much say at

home.

“Now that she has learned about how disloyal you are when you’re out, I wonder if she’s going to demand a divorce.”

Frederick’s mouth went agape. “What … What nonsense are you saying? My wife isn’t going to believe you.”

Despite his words, he anxiously grabbed his phone. The next second, his wife called him.

Stepping to the side, he answered the call in a small voice, “Hi, Honey.”

His wife’s wrathful screams thundered from the other end of the call, making Frederick

frantically lower the volume.

“You have half an hour to get home. Otherwise, you’ll face the consequences!”

“Okay, okay. I’ll be right back. Don’t be mad, honey.”

Then, Frederick ended the call. He rushed up to Grace and barked angrily, “What the hell are you doing?

“You’re going to get me killed, do you know that? This is more serious than your damaged reputation!”

His words struck a chord with Grace. She sounded even scarier than his enraged wife when she said, “Are you saying only your reputation matters, while mine is nothing compared to dog shit?”

With a sharp gaze, Grace glared at the people behind Frederick. “What is so noble about you lot?”

She couldn’t believe that her reputation had to suffer over baseless rumors, whereas Frederick was acting as though his image was far more precious than hers.

Just as Benjamin wanted to step forth and explain, he met Grace’s raging eyes and instantly became speechless.

Faced with her interrogating gaze, he remembered all the hate comments she had received online. It had all started because of him, and he felt extremely guilty.

Meanwhile, Grace was silently mocking herself for once having the humiliating desire to stoop down and get on the good side of this bunch of people.

It had been peak stupidity for her to even think about it.

When she and Benjamin had gotten married, these people had always looked down on her. During each gathering, they would belittle her as if they were high and mighty.

Now that she and Benjamin were divorced, they still behaved arrogantly and treated her like she had taken advantage of him.

As she thought about it, her blood boiled. Coincidentally, a janitor was passing by with a bucket full of some guest’s vomit, which had yellowish oil floating on the surface.

Without hesitation, Grace grabbed the bucket and splashed the vomit on Frederick.

“Ah!” The revolting stench made Frederick shriek in horror. He looked around for his friends‘ help, but they all stayed far away from him.

Frowning, Benjamin looked away and said, “Go and wash yourself. Don’t come over here.”

Grace took the tissue Emily handed her and wiped her hands. “Why didn’t you cash the check I gave you? Did you throw it away? I’ll write another one to pay for your clothes.”

After saying that, she held Zoey and Emily’s arms and walked away to the stage.

Frederick gave Benjamin a shove. “Dude, do something about her, would you? She’s becoming more and more outrageous.”

Benjamin glanced at him coldly, frustrated. “What right do I have to do anything? We’re divorced!”
