Chapter 84 Cried Wolf Too Many Times

Grace stood still.

“Slap yourself in the face, kneel down, and apologize! You still need to do both of these things. What are you being so arrogant for?”

Yvonne was enraged. “Are you crazy? Why would I kneel down to a woman like you?”

The cold, indifferent expression on Grace’s face was what she hated the most. She hated the fact that she had failed to kill Grace and had gotten herself into a load of trouble instead.

“It’s fine if you don’t want to kneel. In any case, once the baby is born, you’ll still have to go to jail. I have plenty of time to watch you reap the rewards you sowed.” Grace smiled sharply.

“Even if I go to jail, I will still give birth to the fruit of love between Benjamin and I. Our bond will never be broken,” Yvonne snorted coldly.

“Unlike you. You had nothing even after three years of marriage, not even an egg!”

Grace’s gaze turned chilly at once. This was her ultimate trigger.

The most humiliating thing she had heard during that marriage was this!

She thought about how Yvonne had set up a car accident to harm her and was evading justice because she was pregnant.

Now she was swaggering around and trying to intimidate her! Grace was unable to suppress her rage any longer.

She went up to Yvonne and grabbed her collar, pulling her over backward as if picking up a chick.

“Say that again!”

Yvonne was petite, and she sl*pped, falling backward and hanging in mid–air. If Grace let go, she would fall to the ground immediately.

She was far along in her pregnancy, and there would definitely be consequences if she were to fall. She panicked immediately. “I’m a pregnant woman! Don’t!”

“Weren’t you very cocky just now?” Grace laughed coldly. “Are you scared?”

Yvonne nodded helplessly, trembling.

She looked around her and realized that it was late at night, so there was no one around to help her.

“Are you going to kneel down and apologize?”

“Yes! Yes!”

Grace wasn’t really planning on doing anything. She only wanted to shut Yvonne up, and she was sure that she wouldn’t hurt her.

Then, she flung Yvonne forward viciously and let go.

Yvonne’s face was streaked with tears of fright, and her legs gave out as she sank on the floor, still in shock.

Then, she saw Benjamin walking over.

“Benjamin, this woman pushed me and the baby!”

This scene was eerily similar to the one at the photo exhibition in Frenda. Benjamin’s expression was cold, and he found Yvonne’s tearful complaints annoying.

He didn’t even help Yvonne up, as he didn’t believe a word coming out of her mouth.

He frowned as he looked at Grace and asked concernedly. “Why are you at the hospital? Have you fully recovered from the car accident injury?”

“You don’t have to worry about her. My Gracie is fine!” Caleb had had enough. He slung his arm around Grace’s shoulder intimately and began walking toward the door.

Yvonne struggled to stand up by herself and asked tearfully, “Benjamin, why won’t you protect me anymore?”

Benjamin glanced coldly at Yvonne. “If you cry wolf too many times, no one will believe you any longer.”

Yvonne hadn’t received a word of comfort, and the only thing she could do was weep silently as she followed Benjamin out.

A few days later, in the general manager’s office, Luke reported to Grace, “Ms. Lewis, the preliminary discussions with Barnes Group are pretty much done.

“In a few days, Mr. Barnes will return from overseas, and we’ll speak in detail about the issue of the technology updates.” Luke took the signed folder of documents from Grace.

“Okay.”

Luke remained standing behind Grace even though he had said everything that he needed to

say.

Grace turned and asked, “Why aren’t you leaving? Is there anything else?”

“Ms. Lewis… Just now, Hawkins Group announced that the engagement between their .

Grace’s gaze gradually became icy, and she looked scornful. “An adulterous couple. They deserve each other.”

Her phone rang, pulling Grace out of her thoughts.

It was Caleb.

“Gracie, can you come with me today to choose the theme for accessories for my next concert, please?”

Jacob had forced Caleb to stay home and rest, and his movements were reported the moment he tried to sneak out.

Now the only thing he could do was think of some excuses for Grace, who was the one giving the orders.

“No, you still need to rest for a few days.”

“We’re just going to choose some styles. It’s not hard work at all! Let’s go!”

Grace laughed resignedly. Her third–oldest brother really couldn’t stay still, even for a day.” Alright, it’s almost time to get off work. Tell Jacob to send you over.”

“Oh my gosh, I can finally go out!”

The two of them went to VERE Jewelry.

This time there was no one who dared disrespect Grace, and the staff member who had suspected Grace of stealing the n*ecklace had been fired long ago.

After Lydia had revealed revealed Grace’s identity as the designer for the main piece at the jewelry exhibition, all the shop assistants were all starry–eyed whenever they looked at Grace.

And… Simon had come with her!

He was a top celebrity!

The rumors of their relationship must be real!

Everyone was desperate to send a photo of the beautiful couple out to the world, but they could only suppress this desire/as it was still work hours.

Grace helped Caleb choose a few pieces and gave some suggestions on what to match them with. Suddenly, she heard someone speaking in the doorway.

“Let’s choose our wedding rings from VERE Jewelry for our engagement. What do you think?”
