In the Lap of Luxury novel (Grace and Benjamin) novel Chapter 539

Matthew looked up and asked, "Ms. Lewis, why are you here?"

"As your partner, isn't it normal for me to check in?"

He rubbed his temples and said, "I'm sorry that my personal issues have affected Amirate Corporation."

"It's too late for apologies now. Is the child really yours?"

Grace sat down.

"Yes. I was indeed in a relationship with Willow for a few years, but due to personal reasons, it didn't work out. She didn't tell me about the pregnancy until after the child was born."

Grace understood. Willow had taken advantage of the situation. She had secured herself a home while finding lifelong support using the child.

"What about your wife's reaction to her?"

"It's nothing new for people like us, Ms. Lewis. She doesn't care."

Indeed, in a marriage of convenience, such things were often overlooked as long as they didn't affect personal interests.

"Maybe she didn't care before, but now ..."

Matthew's expression froze.

"Is it possible your wife orchestrated this?"

After some thought, Matthew said, "Aside from me and Willow, no one knew."

"But now Willow's husband knows. You've been set up."

Matthew pondered over her words.

"Can you contact Willow?"

"It will take some time with the media frenzy right now."

Grace closed her eyes and said, "The scandal's spreading so fast. Our partnership will be greatly affected if our overseas partners find out about this."

Leaning forward, Matthew asked, "What do you suggest we do now, Ms. Lewis?"
