IN THE LAP OF LUXURY BY UNSWEETENED CHESTNUTS - Season 1 Episode 93

“Am I right?” Grace’s mocking voice came through the phone.

Yet, Benjamin showed no remorse. “You’re not capable of fighting Richard now. I’m doing this for your

own good.”

“Save your hypocrisy and let him come at me!”

The call abruptly ended. Benjamin stared at the darkening screen with anger after being rejected.

He thought, “This stupid woman! Let’s see how you’ll handle this!”

Just then, his surbordinate reported from the front seat, “Mr. Hawkins, Larry just sent a text. He said

there are some issues with the project in Frenda, and he needs you to go there in

person.”

Benjamin closed his eyes and took a deep breath. “Okay. Arrange the earliest flight.”

The business in Frenda was important, which was why he had entrusted Larry with overseeing

1. it.

Lately, Benjamin had been busy with his company’s affairs and had become much busier without

Grace’s help.

He felt that he should let her go through some trials. When she had nothing left, he could give her a

helping hand. That would make her return to work for Hawkins Group easily.

After Grace hung up the phone, she turned to find Victor restraining Caleb, preventing him from rushing

in to interrupt. When the call was over, Victor finally let go.

“Why did you stop me? I wanted to help Gracie scold that scumbag!”

“Are you itching for some beatings?” Victor warned Caleb with a glare, and Caleb immediately

backed down.

Initially, Grace had been feeling down after the phone call, but she was cheered up by this

scene.

How could she be against the whole world when she had her family and friends behind her? With them,

she had everything.

She chuckled. “Be gentle, Victor. Caleb’s arm is still recovering.”

“That’s right! How can you be so hard on your dear little brother? I’m going to tell Aaron and Grandpa!”

Seeing Grace standing up for him, Caleb immediately counterattacked.

“I didn’t touch your arm.” Victor calmly took a seat. “If necessary, I’ll have the family doctor come over.

I’ll cover the expenses.”

“You!” Caleb turned to Grace. “Scold him, Gracie!”

Hurriedly, Grace escaped upstairs. “I’m going to bed. I have a lot of things to do tomorrow.”

The next morning, Emily called. “Babe! The internet is going crazy right now!”

Grace was well aware of the situation and sighed. “Is the whole internet criticizing me?”

“It’s not just criticism; it’s turned into full–blown hatred!” Emily was frantic.

“I asked Zoey to take it down, but she said she couldn’t. Deleting comments doesn’t have much effect

either.”

After hanging up, Grace rushed to check her social media and saw her name was the number one

trending topic again.

A prominent online influencer had directly named Grace, claiming that she’d had an affair with Simon

while still married to Benjamin.

They had even alleged that she’d had an affair with Amirate’s president to secure the position of

general manager.

The so–called evidence included a photo of Grace and Caleb driving home together before her divorce

and a picture of Grace meeting Aaron at a coffee shop in Darai.

Then, a person claiming to be her former classmate posted a video of hallway bullying with the faces

blurred, along with the comment: “She used to be a bully at our school, and we didn’t even have to

secretly record such videos. There are a bunch of them!”

Infidelity and school bullying were sensitive words on the internet. Instantly, the internet exploded.

“So this is the real Grace!”

“It’s already so good for her that a rich guy noticed her when she had no power or status. How dare she

cheat on her husband?”

“Why must she have an affair with my Simon?”

“I can’t believe Simon is also of such low character!”

“Someone who bullied classmates at school can’t be a good person!”

“Dig deeper!”

#GracetheVixen and #GracetheBully simultaneously topped the trending list.

Even Amirate’s share prices dropped by ten percent as the investors lost confidence in the

Caleb and Victor came to her room after learning about the trending controversy.

“Gracie, are you okay?” Caleb approached Grace and gently stroked her hair.

“Caleb, I’m sorry for getting you involved in this mess.”

“I have plenty of loyal fans. I don’t mind such a little thing,” he reassured her.

“I can help you delete all these posts, but it might attract the attention of the Cybersecurity Department

due to the scale,” Victor suggested calmly.

“No need, Victor. Even if we delete them, there will be more. This is a well–planned attack.”

Was this Richard’s retaliation Benjamin had mentioned? The impact this time was indeed greater than

before.

“Aaron just called and said he will take the earliest flight back. He wants you to stay home for a few

days and not go to the company. Let Luke deal with business matters for now.”
