Chapter 107 Reaping the Consequences
Standing in the midst of the crowd, Yvonne’s heart was seized with anxiety.
She felt an inexplicable sense of unease. She clutched her dress tightly as her nervousness became
evident to everyone.
“Grandpa …” she spoke with a hint of plea in her tone. She feared that Richard might publicly
abandon her.
However, at this moment, Richard had already made up his mind.
The company was the culmination of his life’s work. He had been clear about his priorities
from the start.
“Ms. Lewis, rest assured, I will make sure Yvonne pays for her actions,” Richard declared in
front of the crowd.
At this moment, he appeared humble and submissive before Grace, without any trace of his
former charisma.
Grace raised her chin slightly and remained silent.
Without saying a word, Richard grabbed Yvonne and pulled her to Grace. He coldly instructed, “Hurry
up and apologize to Ms. Lewis …”

If she were to apologize to Grace in front of so many people, how could she ever maintain her pride
and reputation in high society later on?
“Apologize.” Richard’s patience was running out.
Yvonne understood that if she didn’t apologize now, there was a good chance Richard would cast her
aside. As a family outcast, she would be left with nothing.
Hence, she gritted her teeth and set aside all her pride and self–esteem.
“I’m sorry…” she said with a touch of regret in her voice.
“Hmph, after all the outrageous things you’ve done, you think a mere apology is enough? You should
know our beloved Grace nearly lost her life because of you,” Emily commented.
Her words caused an even greater stir in the crowd.
“Of course Mr. Quine Senjor is afraid. Intentionally causing an accident is a criminal offense.”
“If apologies could fix everything, what would be the point of having the police?”
“If I were Ms. Lewis, I would have already called the police and put her behind bars for being a

Yvonne’s face turned pale as she listened to the crowd’s discussions. She was visibly distressed.
“I’m not a mistress, so stop making baseless accusations!” Yvonne shouted loudly at the
crowd.
It seemed she was trying to affirm her words as she searched her surroundings for Benjamin. She fixed
her gaze on him.
She rushed forward and held onto Benjamin as if he were her only hope.
“Ben, you have to explain to everyone. I was never a mistress. When we first met, you didn’t
even know Grace!”
However, Benjamin remained unmoved. He gazed coldly at Grace, who appeared completely
unaffected, as if she weren’t in this at all. He was deeply hurt to see her like that.
Benjamin showed no mercy. He roughly pushed Yvonne away in front of everyone.
“Ben…” she said while unable to maintain her balance. She stumbled and tumbled to the
ground.
A sudden wave of pain surged in her lower abdomen, but she couldn’t afford to be concerned
about it at that moment.

At that moment, Yvonne looked disheveled, almost as if she were a clown.
Benjamin appeared completely unbothered, as if it had nothing to do with him. He didn’t care
about her at all.
The onlookers watched coldly, as if they were witnessing a comedy.
“Someone, seize her and take her to the police station immediately,” Richard ordered with a sense of
moral duty, even if it meant taking action against his own family.
Yvonne was taken aback upon hearing his words. With much effort, she managed to get up from the
ground.
“Grandpa, please don’t … don’t… don’t send me to the detention center, please, I beg you.”
Richard remained unmoved by Yvonne’s pleas, as if her words had fallen on deaf ears.
Soon, some of the guards approached her.
“Ben, save me … Grandpa… please don’t …”
Yvonne cried as she tried to break free from the b*dyguards‘ clutches. However, the vast difference in
strength between her and the burly guards made her efforts futile.
