In the Lap of Luxury novel (Grace and Benjamin) novel Chapter 375

A billion dollars?

That was quite a bold demand.

"Who do you think you are, asking for one billion dollars? Have some shame," Emily retorted bluntly.

Regardless of anything else, she firmly believed in Grace. Grace would never plagiarize someone else's work.

"The facts will reveal who the real plagiarist is. Even if you're internationally famous, you can't twist the truth. Aren't you afraid that your so-called fans will see your true colors?"

Jessica remained unperturbed, lightly smiling while choosing to ignore Emily's words.

She crossed her arms and walked closer to Grace. When she was just half a step away, she stopped. Lifting her gaze, she looked at Grace.

"I won't beat around the bush. The choice is in your hands, Ms. Lewis. It depends on what you decide, whether it's paying money to settle the matter or letting everyone perish together. What do you say?"

Grace silently clenched her hands. She could tell that Jessica seemed to harbor deep hostility toward her.

Yet she couldn't understand where this animosity came from.

She was well aware that, before this incident, they hadn't had any interaction whatsoever.

"Ms. Landon, this is the first time I've seen someone as shameless as you."

Jessica didn't care. "Compared to what you've done in the past, what I'm doing now is nothing, right?"

What she had done in the past?

Jessica's words carried a hidden meaning. Grace's eyes flashed with suspicion, and her speculation deepened.

Then, Jessica raised three fingers. "Three days. I'm giving you three days to get the money. If you can't come up with the money in three days, I will make sure your reputation is ruined."

Silence filled the air as her words fell. It was uncertain how much time had passed.
