Chapter 32 Fake News
Yvonne was overjoyed. After so many years of waiting, Benjamin was finally hers. If he proposed to
her right now, she would say yes immediately.
However, the star of the show still hadn’t raised his ss. If anything, his face was grim, and his
moodiness was obvious as he pressed his l*ps together without saying a word.
The image of Grace leaving was still reying in his mind. It refused to go away.
Celia noticed the awkward atmosphere and said, “Say something, Benjamin! It’s no fun if you don’t
say anything.”
“Yeah, Benjamin. That jinx is gone now, so you should be the happiest one here. Why aren’t you
smiling?” Susan asked.
Then, she looked at Yvonne with satisfaction. “All I want now is for you to marry Yvonne as
soon as possible, so I can have a grandson.”
Yvonne’s face flushed. “Benjamin and I would need time for that, Mrs. Hawkins.”
Benjamin scanned the three of them before replying in a cold, aloof tone, “No one should tell
Grandma about my divorce.”
Yvonne froze. What did he mean? Didn’t he n on marrying her? Was her baby going to be a
bastard child now?
With tears in her eyes, she asked, “What about me and the baby, Benjamin?”
She put a hand on her belly as a single tear fell onto her clothes.
Benjamin took a deep breath to rein in his irritation. He replied, “I’ll take care of that. I have
something to attend to, so I’m going up.”
With that, he left the three of them to go upstairs alone.
Yvonne sat in her chair for a long while, still unable to react.
So he still hadn’t forgotten that woman! Rage and resentment shed across her eyes.
“I’ll show you, Grace Lewis!” she thought.
Meanwhile, Susan and Celia hastily came over tofort her. “No one’s happy after a divorce,
Yvonne, not even Benjamin. We need to cut him some ck.”
“Yeah, Yvonne. I like you the best. Benjamin’s just a little traumatized after thatst marriage. That’s
why he didn’t say he would marry you,” Celia said.
“He will probablye back with a bouquet in a few days,” she added. Neither she nor Susan
The next morning, Grace was looking through some paperwork when Emily shoved the door to her
office open.
“Babe! That idiot, Benjamin, is about to piss me off to death!”
Grace was confused. “What happened?”
Emily gave Grace her phone. When she saw the screen, mockery shed across her face. “He sure
knows how to spin a tale.”
All the headlines screamed in red font, “Gold Digger Strikes Rich Before Cheating; Cindere’s
ss Sl*pper Shatters”.
Basically, the article said that a certain rich president had been secretly married for three years,
then divorced his wife.
The wife had been his secretary and mistress before they married.
But her greed had prompted her to meet a rich Darai man during a business trip. After that, she had
dumped the president.
Not only that, but she had also leaked thepany’s resources to someone else and demanded a
cut of the billionaire president’s assets.
There was even a photo of her meeting the Darai business partner, taken at an angle that made it
look like they were k*ssing.
There were manyments below the article, all from Grace’s haters.
“Shameless! How can a cheater like her ask for a piece of his fortune?”
“I heard that the president is actually Benjamin Hawkins of Hawkins Group. That cheating secretary
is Grace Lewis!”
“I knew that b*tch was a schemer. Roast her, girls!”
“That backstabbing idiot! He’s ying d*rty right after the divorce!” Emily said through gritted teeth.
When she turned to look at Grace, she noticed her friend was calmly scrolling through the
Then, Grace said casually, “Photos as evidence and simplenguage. Not bad for a tabloid
article.”
Emily was caught off guard so much that sheughed. “How optimistic of you.”
At that moment, one of Grace’s other friends, Zoey Walters, called her.
“Ladies, I’ve just checked that article about Grace. Some woman called Yvonne Quine paid for it.
What is it with you and her?”
Grace scoffed. “So it was her.”
“Do you need me to take it down?” Zoey asked.
As editor-in-chief of Global Entertainment Magazine, also known as GEM Magazine, she had a lot
of influence in the industry.
Grace’s
gaze was frosty. “No need. It’s no fun taking it down without a fuss. We need to fight back openly.”Têxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org.
