In the Lap of Luxury

Chapter 319 Threatening Him

Yvonne continued, "It's not hard if you want me to tell the truth. But you have to promise me to send me away from Pamore and give me a large sum of money, enough for the rest of my life."

"Okay."

His answer surprised Yvonne. She had never expected Benjamin to go to such lengths for Grace. © NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

"Benjamin, why regret it now?"

"You don't have to waste your time. My patience is limited."

Yvonne shook her head slightly. "Benjamin, I'm not stupid! I know you won't let me leave if I tell you now. Unless … you can personally help me leave. Once I'm out, I'll tell you the truth."

Benjamin remained silent and looked at her in disgust.

"No one has ever attempted to threaten me."

With that, he ignored the surprised look on Yvonne's face and ordered the bodyguards to come in.

"Hand her over to Shane. We've already exceeded the two-hour time limit."

Yvonne panicked, realizing that Benjamin wasn't joking.

"No, Benjamin, I ... I ..."

Benjamin didn't respond, but the bodyguard reached Yvonne, dragged her away, and headed toward the door.

Yvonne felt a chill run down her spine. She knew that Shane would kill her if she was handed over to him. She didn't want to die.

"Benjamin, the child wasn't yours. That night, you were drunk, and nothing happened between us. I set you up to think the child was yours."

Yvonne sobbed as she spoke. When she finished, the bodyguard stopped, and Yvonne collapsed.

"Benjamin, I know I've made mistakes. Please, save me. I don't want to die!"

Tears rolled down Yvonne's cheeks.

At that moment, the door opened, and Grace stood there.

She seemed like a bystander, completely unconcerned. She looked up, meeting Benjamin's gaze.

Once, her eyes had been filled with affection and passion. Now, they were as calm as a still lake. "Mr. Hawkins, did you invite me here for this?"

Grace had already figured out what was happening.

She continued, "You sent me the package, didn't you?"

Benjamin didn't deny it.

Grace understood his intentions. He had made an elaborate plan to rekindle the flame between Yvonne and Shane to simply prove that he was no longer involved with Yvonne.

The child from back then had nothing to do with him.

Benjamin waved his hand, and the bodyguard took Yvonne away.

Soon, only Grace and Benjamin were left in the hall.

Once, they had been husband and wife for three years. Now, they were strangers, as if they had never known each other.

"Grace, if Yvonne was the cause of our divorce, does this resolve our misunderstandings now? Nothing ever happened between me and her. So, can we start over?"

Grace remained silent.

Benjamin had always carried himself proudly. He had never had to humble himself and lay down his pride for anyone. But today, he had done it just to explain the truth to Grace.
