Chapter 121 I Want the Truth
"If that's the case, then let's call the police!" Richard spoke, glaring sharply at Celia with eyes like an eagle's. "Since Ms. Hawkins said she saw it with her own eyes, then I'm sure she won't let Yvonne be wronged. Ms. Hawkins, I hope that you can testify and speak truthfully about what you saw."Celia hesitated. "I …" She bit her lip. She had originally planned to testify, but after seeing Benjamin's expression, she could only swallow her words. She changed her tune. "The lights were dim. I may not have seen things clearly."She had actually changed her statement in front of Richard! Celia's heart was thumping rapidly, as if it were about to jump out of her throat. Richard said coldly, "Ms. Hawkins, I just need you to tell the truth. Why are you being like this?"Celia lowered her gaze and looked at Benjamin for help. Richard's eyes gradually darkened. He had never imagined that, even at this time, Benjamin would still protect Grace. He used his authority as the most

Chapter 122 Teach You a Lesson
Yvonne said in a determined voice, "Benjamin, I know that you may still have some sentiments toward her. After all, you were married for three years. "But she's a cruel woman, and she's the one who pushed me. She killed our baby!""Alright," Benjamin said impassively. "Since you say that she pushed you, then let's call the police. Let the police come and investigate it thoroughly, and we'll make sure to speak only according to the truth."Benjamin got up to leave after saying this. But at that moment, the door to the hospital room swung open. Grace was standing in the doorway, her arms folded. "Grace, how dare you come here?"Yvonne lost it the moment she saw Grace, and she shouted at her angrily. Grace ignored her and said, "I heard everything you said just now. I just want to ask Ms. Quine—did everything really happen the way you said?""Grace, you bitch! You killed my baby!"Grace's eyes darkened, but she still said, "Ms. Quine, you should watch what you say. Even a t

Yvonne covered her ears and began screaming, looking like she had completely lost control.Benjamin's expression turned grim, and he moved forward to talk to the police officers."She just had a miscarriage and is a little emotionally unstable at the moment. I hope that you can understand."The two police officers exchanged looks and maintained a professional attitude. "We received a report and came here to understand more about the situation. Who is Ms. Quine? We would like to ask that you cooperate with our work.""Aahhh! My head hurts so much! Benjamin, my head hurts so much!" Yvonne grabbed Benjamin's hand while she screamed. "My head feels like it's about to explode!""Alright, I'll call the doctor for you," Benjamin said, pressing the call button beside the bed.Yvonne was completely

Chapter 124 A Billion-Dollar-Settlement
Richard and Grace went up to the hospital rooftop. "What do you want to talk to me about, Mr. Quine Senior? If it's about Yvonne's miscarriage, then I think there's nothing to say."Richard looked at her sharply before saying seriously, "I've sent my men to check the security footage at the bar. "The scene at the time wasn't captured on camera. If Yvonne insists that you're the culprit, do you think you can get away with it?"Grace smiled. "The truth is the truth. Mr. Quine Senior, it seems like you still have the authority to make things happen your way." There was a trace of mockery in her tone. Richard said immediately, "The Lewis family might be the most powerful in Frenda. But in Pamore, if the Quines really want to do something, it will be done! "But I didn't come here today to fall out with you, Ms. Lewis. I want to take this chance to agree on a settlement. Right now, it doesn't look good for anyone, and it won't benefit either of us."Grace raised her eyebrows and

Chapter 127 The Mysterious Futurelink Corporation
"Why does Grace seem to have a good life?" Samuel was feeling cynical. Never in his wildest dreams had he imagined that Quine Group, one of the leading estate companies in Pamore, would disappear in just a few days. All of this was inextricably linked to Grace. "Mr. Walker, I think that Ms. Lewis is very bold. Your bet with her—"Samuel scolded him at once. "Shut up! She's a mere woman who wants to make it in this dog-eat-dog business world. She can keep dreaming! "Even if she's taken over Quine Group, it's still nothing compared to how huge Amirate Corporation is.

Chapter 130 What's His Surname
"No way, Cece! Don't tell me that you've already gotten acquainted with this mysterious president?""Girl, if you are, then you really hid it well!""Hurry up and tell us, what does this mysterious president look like? Is he handsome?"Celia looked into their eager eyes and felt her ego inflate. Although she had never seen this person, in her mind, she had already pictured his perfect profile. After all, a man with such a background and such strong skills couldn't be ugly. Therefore, she said shamelessly, "I won't hide it from you. In actual fact, we met ages ago!"Upon hearing this, all her lackeys exploded. "Wow, Cece, you're amazing!""The Hawkins heiress really is different from everyone else. You get all the firsthand resources. To think that in the whole of Pamore, you're probably the only person who's seen his real face!" "That's right! Cece, quick, tell us.
