In the Lap of Luxury

Chapter 56

“Raise your hand if you think it’s too troublesome to add people to the project. Once the meeting ends, resign automatically.”

This threw them into turmoil. They hadn’t added Amirate Corporation’s staff under Quinn’s orders. So why should they be held accountable for it?

“It’s written very clearly on the contract that Amirate Corporation has the right to appoint and remove any department head involved in this project. Isn’t th

Quinn was now in a difficult position, and her smile became more and more stiff. “Ms. Lewis, what will happen to the rest of the project if you fire them?”

“The deputy heads can take the brunt of it. If there aren’t even any reserves for such a small number of people, I would have to question Barnes Group’s

Grace smiled humorlessly and said in a leisurely tone, “Then, there really would be a need to break the contract.”

“No, we can’t.” Grace raised her eyebrows, and her voice was cold.

“You always talked to me like this before. Why are you angry now that the shoe’s on the other foot?”

Benjamin paused at this, and scenes from the past rose up in his mind.

He strained to remember a time when he had spoken patiently to Grace, but despite turning over the memories in his mind repeatedly, there were none.

He was speechless.

“The three of us are collaborating, but unless it’s necessary, let’s not meet personally. Let’s not have another incident like this meeting in the elevator.”

When they reached the first floor, Grace strode out arrogantly, leaving Benjamin to question himself in the elevator.

That night, Grace, Emily, and Zoey gathered at Halo Bar.

After dancing for a while, they were all tired. Zoey handed her phone over to Grace, looking serious. “Any thoughts on this?”

Grace was confused, but smiled when she took it and saw it.

Emily looked over and immediately started scolding. “Where did this paparazzi come from? They’re slandering you again, babe. Zoey, destroy him!”

The article heading caught their eyes at once-“Manager’s Affair with Subordinate.”

There were a few pictures below it, and it was all from the night that Grace had gone to the hotel with Cameron, when he had gotten beaten up.

The comments section was filling up rapidly.

“No way! She left the embrace of the upper class, and this is her taste?”

“I don’t believe it. Rumors of her having a thing with her boss would be better than rumors of her and her subordinate!”

“It looks like she was hurt after the divorce, and now she’s addicted to money and power.”

Zoey sat back on the couch and picked up a glass of alcohol. The ice cubes in the glass swirled with the drink.

Her gaze was dark. “I’ve sent people to check on it already. We’ll know after tonight.”

Grace was already used to it, so she put down the phone calmly.

“There aren’t even any fresh comments. They all say the same thing. The netizens have really been running out of creativity lately.”

Zoey shook her head wearily. “Only you would think that.‘

Emily put an arm around Grace. “Come on, let’s go outside and sing.” Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

The three of them walked out to the stage outside but coincidentally ran into Frederick, who had his arms slung around two skimpily dressed, tall, and slender girls. Benjamin was beside

them.

“Bro, I feel like I got revenge.” Frederick pulled the beautiful girls closer, laughing.

Benjamin stopped and looked at him. “What do you mean? What did you do?”

“I found the video of that woman going to a hotel to sleep with her subordinate. I took a screenshot of it and put it on the Internet with a huge heading.

“I must make that promiscuous woman get criticized.”
