Celia had a particularly unpleasant expression at this moment, but she was unwilling to admit defeat.
“Grace, do you have to spout nonsense in front of everyone? Where’s your proof? Do you think you can just change the truth with a few words?” she asked.
Despite her guilty conscience, Celia maintained her defiant tone as she sought support from the crowd.
Finally, she spotted Benjamin, who was her beacon of hope. With a desperate look on her face, she rushed toward him.
“Ben! Your ex–wife is falsely accusing me. She resents us so much that she’s trying to ruin my future as revenge, and that too, right in front of everyone.” she complained.
Then, Celia pulled Benjamin toward Grace. However, Grace’s expression remained indifferent.
For some reason, even though she was standing right before him, Benjamin felt as though they were worlds apart.
In the current situation, if it were indeed proven that Celia had stolen the design, her career prospects as a designer would be utterly destroyed.
All the years she had dedicated to studying design would go to waste, and her future would be destroyed.
As Celia’s older brother, regardless of the truth behind this matter, Benjamin couldn’t let Grace ruin Celia’s future.
So his first words were, “Grace, are you done causing trouble?”
Grace had initially thought she had misheard. Then, a faint smile formed on her face, though her eyes showed no amusement.
She retorted, “Trouble? In your eyes, does it look like I’m merely causing trouble? Or do you consider stealing someone’s work to be insignificant?”
Benjamin’s face remained stern.
“Celia wouldn’t steal your design. This must be a misunderstanding.” Benjamin was quick to defend his sister. It seemed almost predictable, but after all, they were family.
“You must be overthinking. Do you really think-”

Grace chuckled and responded unapologetically, “Yes. So what? I’m no saint. Am I supposed to have unlimited tolerance, regardless of what she does?”
