Chapter 411 Flawless Acting

When Jessica heard this, she couldn't help laughing out loud. Her laughter was shrill and jarring to the ears. It made everyone who heard it frown.She only stopped after a long time and then pulled herself free of Grace's grip. She said coldly, "What kind of nonsense is that? If I'm not Jessica, then who am I?""That's what I want to know too."Grace looked grim as she stared at Jessica, trying to get something out of her. However, Jessica only laughed. "Is this the evidence you found, Grace? As far as I can see, this doesn't prove anything."Can this prove your innocence? I don't think so! The fact is that you plagiarized me, and I advise you not to keep badgering me or making up ridiculous excuses like this."Grace raised her eyebrows. "So you won't admit it?"Jessica looked righteous. "What do I have to admit? Do I need to prove my own identity? You don't see any burn scars on my body because I had a skin grafting operation, which covered the scars very well."As for the b

Chapter 412 Guessing Her Identity

Jessica laughed arrogantly. She didn't know if Grace didn't understand how serious things were or if she just didn't care at all. Her voice was dripping with scorn as she said, "Grace, oh Grace. How could you be in the mood to drink tea at this point? Within half an hour, your reputation will be ruined. I'll see if you can still laugh then."Grace just answered carelessly, "Really? Let's wait and see."She had just finished speaking when she saw that the long hand on her watch was pointing to 10:30 am. Her lips curled. "The show has begun."Jessica didn't understand what she meant, but two minutes later, her phone rang. "Bad news, Ms. Landon. Something's happened."The voice on the other end of the phone said something, and Jessica's expression changed completely. "That's impossible … It's completely impossible."Jessica hung up at once and pointed at Grace. "It's you! You're the one who did all this! You bitch, how could you be so venomous?"Grace said slowly, "That's a bit

Chapter 413 It Can't Be Yvonne

The two of them exchanged glances and said simultaneously, "The Quine family?""The Quine family!"There was a flash of surprise in Grace's eyes. "Xander, it looks like we had the same thought.""Just now, the fake Jessica kept going on about a billion dollars, and it's not the first time she's emphasized this amount. Only the Quine family have had a conflict with us over a billion dollars. There's no one else."In a deep, low voice, Xander analyzed the situation. The past incident between Grace and Richard over the latter's billion-dollar finger ring had spread like wildfire through the upper class society. As a result, the Quine family's reputation had suffered a great blow.After that there had been the issue with Yvonne. Now, the Quines, who had once been one of the leading families in Pamore, were completely bankrupt!This series of events were all connected to Grace in some way.Therefore, the Quine family was most likely behind the plagiarism issue."Plus, I've already c

Chapter 414 The Quines' Bloodline

Richard's skin was loose, and his hair had turned white. He seemed to have aged several years since Grace had last seen him.He was so focused on his work that he didn't notice Grace behind him.It was only when Grace stood in front of him that he said courteously, "Do you need your car washed, miss?"Upon not getting an answer, Richard looked up. When he saw who was in front of him, his kind expression immediately changed. He looked furious."It's you!"The bucket in his hand fell to the ground, sending water splashing out onto the floor.Gace smiled, but it didn't reach her eyes. "Mr. Quine Senior, it's been a while."Richard clenched his teeth furiously at the sight of Grace.He glared at Grace and said very unpleasantly, "What are you doing here?""Mr. Quine Senior, shall we talk for a while?"Richard huffed coldly and said nastily, "I don't have anything to say to you. If you're here to ridicule me, then look at me all you want. Just don't interrupt my work."He was no

Chapter 415 I Hope You Stop Here

Grace couldn't understand this at all. But she didn't have time to think more about it as a calm figure walked toward her down the corridor. Benjamin looked at Grace, who was standing next to Xander. His gaze darkened, and he clenched his fists.Beside him, Larry felt the murderous air Benjamin was exuding. He coughed lightly and said, "Ms. Lewis!"Grace raised her eyebrows and turned in surprise.Then, she saw that Benjamin was standing some distance away behind her. She didn't know how long he had been there. His eyes were focused on the operating theater's doors, which were tightly shut."Grace, aren't you satisfied with how much the Quine family has fallen?"Benjamin's tone was extremely unpleasant. He faced Grace, looking as if he was about to defend the Quine family.Grace's eyes narrowed. "Mr. Hawkins, are you here to defend the Quine family?""No!" Benjamin blurted out as he looked at Grace. "I just hope that you'll stop here."Grace's lips curled scornfully. "I thoug

Chapter 416 The Quine Heiress

"It's not looking good for the patient. He has problems with his heart, and we need to urgently do a coronary artery bypass grafting procedure on his heart. If you're his family, then please sign the consent form as soon as possible."As he spoke, the doctor handed the surgery consent form to Benjamin. After a moment's hesitation, Benjamin picked up a pen and signed his own name. "No matter what, please try your best to save him.""Don't worry, we'll do our best."Then, there was silence in the corridor once more. When the doctor had returned to the operating theater, Benjamin instructed, "Larry, contact the best heart specialist in the world and get them here immediately.""Yes, Mr. Hawkins."Larry went off to the side at once to make calls. Then, Benjamin looked at Grace. He commanded her to leave at once. "Grace, there's nothing else to do here. You should leave."Grace didn't say anything, but truth be told, she was worried for Richard. She hadn't expected things to get to

Chapter 417 No Way Back

In the office, the assistant reported carefully, "Jion, several of our partners have terminated their contracts with us. They've forcefully sued us to get compensation for breach of contract."The suppliers who have already paid are applying to return the products. The store can't hold anymore, and the clothing factories have stopped production."This incident is seriously affecting us. Doing PR for the news online isn't working. No one cares about the price we're offering."There was silence. When Jessica heard the updates, she was enraged. She angrily swung a hand across everything on the table, sending documents flying to the ground. "Damn it! Get lost, all of you!"Even though the assistant was frightened by Jessica's outburst, he continued speaking patiently. "Jion, if this goes on, our studio will be forced to close down sooner or later—"Jessica roared, "Then, let's close down! You all are just useless trash, and it's not worth keeping you anyway! What are you here for

Chapter 418 Will She Come

Someone even started a live stream on their phone, and the number of viewers began increasing rapidly. There were almost one million people watching. "Jion, can you answer our questions?""You were the one who plagiarized Ms. Lewis' designs from the very beginning, but you falsely accused her of plagiarism and reported her. Where did you get the confidence to do that? Did you really think that the truth would never come to light? Or were you just betting on getting lucky?""Jion, what do you plan to do next? Will you apologize to the fans who once supported you?"Jessica covered her ears, not wanting to hear any of the reporters' questions. She kept shaking her head as she muttered, "I didn't plagiarize. I've been framed. This is all slander! All of you, get away from me! Get away!"But the reporters gave her no chance at all and kept their microphones and cameras in her face. She had no room to breathe. "Jion, please answer our questions."Jessica's mind went blank. She fel

Chapter 419 True Colors

It was hard to answer Grace's question because Jessica had disappeared. Half an hour later, Zoey sent her a message. "Gracie, Jessica's disappeared."Grace was startled. "What did you say?"Zoey explained, "The person I hired to follow her said that she got out of a car right at the hospital's entrance. But then she was immediately whisked away in a black car."Grace clenched her fist when she heard that."She was taken away?""It looks like the other party is professionally trained. Their movements were practiced, and by the time my guy realized what was happening, Jessica had already disappeared.""Okay."Grace hung up, her eyes darkening. She looked toward the tightly closed door of the operating theater, where Richard was still undergoing surgery.Jessica had already shown up at the hospital, which showed that she and the Quines didn't have an ordinary relationship.But then who had taken her away?… That night, the hospital was quiet, and there was no one in the corrid

Chapter 420 Declare War

If the Quine family hadn't gone bankrupt and Yvonne hadn't suddenly disappeared, Jessica wouldn't have come back.And Danielle would still have been dead in everyone's memory."Danielle, I'm sorry about Yvonne." Benjamin didn't explain much. A simple apology conveyed everything."Ha, it's quite rare to hear an apology from the mighty Mr. Hawkins. But I don't need your apology. I just need your help to revive my family."Let's join forces against Grace. I want to crush her and destroy her completely. I want her to experience what losing everything feels like," Danielle said with determination.Benjamin's eyes sank, and he directly rejected her. "While I'm around, don't even think about touching Grace."That sentence was enough to express his stance.Danielle was surprised. Benjamin, who was known for his ruthless methods and was unbeatable in the business world, actually had a weakness."Benjamin, you only have one choice. Either help me, or Grace and I will die together. I don'
