Chapter 123

Chapter 13 Excellent Acting Although Yvonne had been ranting about calling the police, she hadn't, expected it to be so soon! Grace had completely blindsided her with this move.

“Aargh!! Get out! All of you, get out!” Yvonne covered her ears and began screaming, looking like she had completely lost control.

Benjamin’s expression turned grim, and he moved forward to talk to the police officers. “She just had a miscarriage and is a little emotionally unstable at the moment. | hope that you can understand.”

The two police officers exchanged looks and maintained a professional attitude. “We received a report and came here to understand more about the situation. Who is Ms. Quine? We would like to ask that you cooperate with our work.”

“Aahhh! My head hurts so much! Benjamin, my head hurts so much!” Yvonne grabbed Benjamin’s hand while she screamed. “My head feels like it’s about to explode!”

“Alright, I'll call the doctor for you,” Benjamin said, pressing the call button beside the bed.

Yvonne was completely out of control. “Make them leave! Get out, all of you! | don’t want to make a statement!”

Benjamin reached out and hesitated before patting her on the shoulder as an act of comfort.

Richard tried to negotiate, saying, “Officers, she just lost her baby and is very unstable right now. Even if you were to question her, you may not get any answers. Perhaps you could come again when she’s better.”

Upon seeing the situation, the two officers had no choice but to give up.

“If that’s the case, we'll come over a bit later. However, according to the situation reported, other officers have already gone to the scene to investigate.

“I'm sure the results will be out soon. We'll come over again when we have them.” “Alright, thank you,” Richard said, and he rose to personally send off the police. When the police had gone, Yvonne glared resentfully at Grace.

Grace smiled. “Aren’t you going to keep acting?”

“Grace, you venomous woman. Karma will get you,” Yvonne said maliciously. Grace smiled, looking lethally beautiful. “The unjust are doomed to destruction! Back at you, Ms. Quine.” “Bitch! I’ll make you pay for my baby’s life!” Yvonne sounded very agitated.

Grace replied calmly, “If that’s the case, then why were you such a coward in front of the police? You can run, but you can’t hide!” Grace didn’t stay after she had finished speaking and turned to leave.

Benjamin was about to rush after her, but Yvonne grabbed his arm. “Benjamin, don’t go!”

Benjamin was impatient. He had already guessed the truth based on Yvonne's performance just now.

The only reason he hadn't exposed her was because he still had some affection for her.

It was strange, but even though their baby was gone, Benjamin didn’t feel sad at all. Instead,

he felt like a burden had been lifted from his shoulders.

“Yvonne, you just had a miscarriage. Rest well. I'll come and visit you again.”

“No...” Yvonne was unexpectedly strong and had an iron grip on Benjamin, tears falling

thickly down her cheeks. She looked especially pathetic.

Benjamin was too impatient and shook her aside. He rushed out in pursuit of Grace without even looking back. Outside the door, Grace was about to leave when Richard stopped her in the corridor.

“Ms. Lewis, let’s talk.” Richard’s tone brooked no argument.
