In the Lap of Luxury novel (Grace and Benjamin) novel Chapter 541

Grace felt a headache coming on as she realized that if the news continued to spread for a few more days, the situation would be beyond damage control.

Luke presented his findings to Grace. "The assistant close to Willow is the most suspicious."

This assistant had been with Willow for five years, even before the latter had risen to fame. She was Willow's most trusted person. Yet she had previously worked at Hawkins Group.

Grace clenched the paper in her hand, a cold laugh escaping her lips.

Luke frowned. "Ms. Lewis?"

"I'm fine. I just can't believe that the man who has stabbed me in the back countless times would choose now to do it again."

As she walked out, she bumped into Samuel, who was delighted.

"Ms. Lewis, where are you rushing off to so angrily?"

Grace glared at him and snapped, "You don't need to worry."

"Byte Technologies is in trouble, and you must be overwhelmed. I've always said these emerging industries are just bubbles waiting to burst. But you wouldn't listen."

Grace stopped in her tracks and retorted, "Even if it's a bubble, I'll bear the consequences."

"Can you afford it? Don't forget our bet. If I win, you have to resign from Amirate Corporation and never show your face here again!"

Grace clenched her fist tightly. Never in the past year had she felt such immense pressure.

This project with Byte Technologies was her most crucial one yet.

"It's too early to discuss that. Let's wait and see."

Grace left, sharp and determined. Samuel spat after her, loathing her deeply. But his mood improved as he recalled the project in Eastwood.

…

Within two days, the news about Willow continued to gain momentum.

Matthew's family background was also swiftly exposed. His wife's influential family had married her off to him in an arranged marriage, and now their public image was severely tarnished due to their scandal.

Everyone was waiting for her response.

However, there had been no response for two days. Grace guessed Matthew probably hadn't managed to appease his wife.
