In the Lap of Luxury by Unsweetened Chestnuts Novel novel Chapter 539

Grace immediately looked up and asked, "What happened?"

Ashley scrolled through her phone and exclaimed, "It turns out that Willow has an illegitimate child. This is huge news!"

Surprised, Grace took out her phone to read the news.

Indeed, that morning, the paparazzi had revealed that Willow had a child. By that afternoon, they had released footage of her secretly meeting a man, with the child calling him 'Daddy'!

The internet went into a frenzy.

"I can read every word, but I don't understand anything."

"She's married and had a child with another man? That's crazy!"

"I can't imagine what the husband is feeling."

Ashley shook her head, sighing. "I know her agent. Her marriage was already a headache for him, and now he also has to deal with this PR disaster."

Grace watched the video, gripping her phone tighter.

"Maybe the child's not hers?"

"That's impossible. Look, the child resembles Willow so much. Genetics don't lie, and the child even called her 'Mom'."

Grace had a sinking feeling and immediately pulled her phone out to call Matthew.

Even though others might not have been able to identify the man in the video since his face was hidden from view, she was able to recognize Matthew.

Matthew didn't answer the phone.

Ashley continued to mutter, "Why would she do this? It's one thing to marry, but to cheat? Now her career is over."

Grace abruptly stood up and headed out of the office. Luke followed behind her. "Ms. Lewis, what's wrong?"

"We're going to Byte Technologies!"

Byte Technologies was laying the groundwork for the international collaboration, and with Black Friday approaching, such a scandal would kill any chance of them going public.

…

When they arrived at Byte Technologies, everything seemed calm. It seemed the company wasn't affected by the scandal yet.

Matthew's assistant respectfully stated, "Ms. Lewis, you don't have an appointment, and Mr. Thorne isn't seeing anyone today."
