Chapter 126 Turning the Tables

“We are responding to the false reports about Ms. Lewis online. From the beginning to the end, Ms. Lewis never hurt anyone.

“The truth of this matter was investigated thoroughly by the legal authorities, and evidence was collected according to the law.

“As for the false accusations made by Quine Group, we reserve the right to take legal action.”

Once the statement was released, the tide of public opinion turned immediately.

“The Quines tried to pull one over on everyone and ended up sabotaging themselves.”

“Anyone can see that this incident has nothing to do with Grace. They were just trying to put the blame on hér! Now the joke is on them!”

“They even had the audacity to say that they wouldn’t press charges! That’s an obvious sign of a guilty conscience!”

“The Quines really are shameless!”

But this wasn’t the end.

Just as the discussions online were in full swing, a voice recording was posted online. It was the conversation between Richard and Grace on the hospit

“Oh my, the Quines actually wanted to settle with Grace and even shamelessly asked for one

billion dollars!”

“One billion dollars! The Quines are so greedy. That’s daylight robbery!”

“I’ve never seen so much money in my life. I’ve only seen that in my dreams.” This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.

“Don’t the actions of the Quines count as extortion? One billion dollars! I think one billion

dollars in Monopoly money would be more appropriate.”

Once the recording was revealed, the Quines suffered such extreme backlash that they also became the trending topic of the day.

Their plan to oppress Grace using the pressure of public opinion had backfired, and now the comments were completely out of their control.

When Richard saw the news, he fainted.

Not only that, but after the recording was revealed, Quine Group’s shares dropped

continuously.

Within half an hour, the prices had already dropped by 10%. The company’s market value had

An hour later, the drop in share price reached its limit.

The Quines had become public enemy number one.

“They deserve it!” Emily couldn’t help but say it when she saw all the insults online.

“Yvonne’s lost her protection as a pregnant woman, and she can no longer be released on bail while waiting for trial.

“Just the evidence that we provided, I think she can be sentenced to 20 years with no problem.

Grace assented. “That sounds about right!”

“But it’s strange that Benjamin hasn’t said a word up until now. Wasn’t the baby in Yvonne’s womb his?”

Grace didn’t care at all.

“It doesn’t matter whether or not he speaks up about it. Anyway, the two of us won’t ever cross paths again after this.”

“Yes, babe! It’s good that you think that way. There’s plenty of fish in the sea! There are men everywhere! The Fultons‘ son seems pretty nice. Why don’t you consider him?” Emily grin

At the mention of Xander, Grace shook her head slightly.

“He’s still a bachelor, and I’ve already been married once. I shouldn’t harm his reputation.

“Why do I have to find a partner anyway? Isn’t it good just to focus on my career?”

Emily hugged Grace and planted a few k*sses on her. “Oh, babe! You’ve become so clear- headed and rational!

“It makes sense; let’s forget about men! You and I should focus on earning money. That would be the best thing for us.”

Soon enough, Yvonne was taken away by the police, as there was ample evidence against her.

Meanwhile, the Quines had become the object of public criticism, and Quine Group’s clients began terminating their contracts one by one. They were in an unprecedented state of c

Amirate Corporation took advantage of this and successfully won over several of the Quines‘ clients. In just a few days, they managed to get several larg
