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 …”
“Grandpa…” Yvonne said while she was still struggling.
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?

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

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.
