Chapter 104 The Truth Unveiled

Only ten steps separated Yvonne from the stage, yet it felt like an unbridgeable gap for her.

She had once believed that her haughty status as a wealthy young lady was beyond compare. But now

she realized how utterly insignificant she was compared to Grace.

“Hi, everyone. It’s a pleasure to meet you all at my grandpa’s birthday celebration,” Grace said with a

warm smile.

“Recently, there have been lots of rumors about me, and I’m sure most of you are aware of them.”

These words instantly grabbed the interest of the surprised reporters, who quickly took photos to

document this groundbreaking news.

Grace, the general manager of Amirate Corporation’s branch in Pamore, was Harold’s granddaughter!

Initially, people had assumed that she and Aaron were in a romantic relationship. No one would have

thought they were siblings.

Now, they realized that the two did share quite a resemblance.

Grace’s smile faded, and she said seriously, “I want to clarify that Simon and I are just regular friends.

Our friendship goes back further than my relationship with Mr. Hawkins. This is my first and last time

addressing this matter publicly.”

“Besides,” Grace glanced at Benjamin and Yvonne before she continued, “My marriage with Mr.

Hawkins is history. I encourage everyone to leave the past behind.”

She spoke with composure and self–assuredness, showing no trace of the awkwardness that often

accompanied interactions between former

spouses.

The situation was evident. A former wife was making a dignified statement, while the man who had

cheated on her was attending an event with the woman he had gotten pregnant.

The reporters turned their cameras toward Benjamin and Yvonne and started to take pictures of them.

Benjamin remained composed, but Yvonne began to feel uneasy under the bright lights.

The public opinion was now shifting, and the criticism against her as the mistress would only grow.

At that instant, the reporters‘ phones started buzzing. Upon checking their notifications, they were

shocked.

They raised their microphones swiftly and said, “Ms. Lewis, we’ve just learned that you are

Grace was briefly taken aback. She realized that this was related to Sophia’s message, warning her

about her identity being exposed.

She smiled openly and responded, “Yes, I am indeed the Calico,”

“What inspired you to donate to mountain areas and help children born with cleft lips? You have been

doing it for ten years. Can you share some of your thoughts with us?” a reporter asked curiously.

Grace smiled as she responded, “I prefer to keep the reasons private. I just hope everyone can take

practical steps to support the children in need, just like I do.”

She continued, “Besides, I would like to clear something up. I’ve been attending, Royal Academy since

I was five years old, and the rumors of bullying at school are unfounded.

“As for that video, we’ve already edited it to protect people’s identities and will send it to your media’s

email addresses.

“We will issue a clarification. You can rest assured, Ms. Lewis.” The reporters nodded, assuring her.

It was really difficult to associate a kind lady who was greatly loved by children from impoverished

areas with the image of a mean bully.

Initially, they had been surprised that Grace was the granddaughter of an incredibly wealthy man. Now,

they were profoundly impressed by her nobility.

It became evident how innocent Grace had been all along, despite the false accusations against her.

“Everyone, I have one more announcement to make.” Aaron stepped forward from the back. “I will be

gifting all my shares to Grace and advocating for her to become the next president of Amirate during

the board meeting,” he said.

As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd’s reactions shifted from surprise to disbelief.

This news meant that Grace would not only be the wealthiest person’s granddaughter but also the

president of the world’s top company!

This level of status was something others could only dream of.
