IN THE LAP OF LUXURY BY UNSWEETENED CHESTNUTS - Season 2 Episode 21

“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 senior person present. “Benjamin, Yvonne was pregnant with your

baby! The baby is gone, but you’re not even slightly sad, even though you’re the



father!

“Instead, you are doing your best to protect the person who hurt your baby. How could you do that and

still have the nerve to face Yvonne?” .

“I will arrange for someone to thoroughly investigate the truth of this matter.‘

“Will you investigate it thoroughly, or are you just using this as a chance to protect that woman?”

Richard said bluntly.

without a sound.

Benjamin was clearly protecting Grace. He didn’t care that she had lost the baby.

If that was the case, then’she would be merciless too. Even if she were to go to hell, she would take

Grace down with her.

“Grandfather…” Yvonne’s weak voice shattered the tense atmosphere between Benjamin and

“Yvonne’s awake.” Celia pushed open the door and entered the hospital room first.

Yvonne said nothing but bit her lip. Her eyes were brimming with tears as she stared directly at

Benjamin. “Ben, our baby is gone…”

Benjamin’s face was expressionless, as if none of this had anything to do with him.

He went forward and looked down at Yvonne, who was deathly pale. He asked, “What on earth

happened last night? Why did you fall down? I want to hear the truth.”

When Yvonne heard this, tears began streaming down her cheeks, splattering onto her pillow.

“What are you trying to say? Do you think that I would risk our baby’s life?”

Benjamin said nothing, but his eyes remained fixed on her as he scrutinized her expression. “I only

want to hear the truth!”

Yvonne looked at him in disbelief, and her lip curled into a scornful smile. “Benjamin, you don’t want to

believe that Grace would do something like this, do you?

“But the truth is that she pushed me! If she hadn’t pushed me, I wouldn’t have fallen. I wouldn’t have

miscarried! Grace is to blame for all this!”

Benjamin looked at her impassively.

“Is that so?”
