Chapter 103 A Deliberate Display

+15 BONUS

Yvonne had put in a lot of effort into getting ready for this day. She had ordered the custom- made

luxury attire a month ago.

Despite being five months pregnant, the design of her fluffy skirt concealed her waistline.

She looked moderately attractive.

Grace calmly commented, “If you can come, why can’t I?”

Then, she strolled out confidently.

“Stop right there, I’m not done yet!” Yvonne followed her.

The ground was wet. In an effort to look elegant, she had worn high heels. Her feet slipped, and she

stumbled forward.

“Ah!”

As she was about to hit the ground, she remembered the child in her belly. At that very moment, a

strong hand grabbed her before pulling her into a protective embrace.

Yvonne was in shock. “Thank you,” she said as she gasped for breath.

“You’re welcome,” the man responded.

As his voice echoed in her ears, Yvonne’s expression suddenly changed. She instinctively pushed

away the man who had just saved her life.

Without a word, she adjusted her dress and hurriedly fled.

The man also left and entered the banquet.

Grace felt a sense of strangeness as she observed them.

Yvonne seemed to be very afraid of that young man in the gray suit. In the past, she would never have

backed down from a confrontation, even when she had been at a disadvantage.

But why had she acted differently today?

Grace realized it was time for her to head inside and change into her formal attire.

Meanwhile, enchanting melodies filled the air within the banquet hall. The golden lights cast a radiant

glow on the guests.

People chatted and discussed the global development trends of the year while toasting with their

glasses.

Aaron strode to the main podium. He turned his gaze to the band, prompting the musicians to

Harold stood below. His hands folded behind his back as he observed his grandson with a

sense of pride. He had always taken a step back from the limelight, allowing Aaron to shine in

his moment.

Despite the untimely loss of his son and daughter–in–law, the remarkable legacy they had left behind in

the form of their offsprings had filled Harold with profound satisfaction.

“Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for joining us today as we celebrate the 70th birthday of my

grandfather, Mr. Harold Lewis.”

Aaron raised his champagne glass in a cheerful toast. The guests lifted their glasses with smiles on

their faces as well.

“Today, I would like to introduce someone to all of you.” Aaron looked to his right, where a graceful

figure was approaching.

With a smile, he announced, “My sister, Grace Lewis.”

All eyes followed his gaze. The spotlight shone on the woman with a flawless figure. The audience was

left in awe.

Grace wore a faint smile. She gracefully lifted her dress and stepped onto the stage.

Her hairstylist had elegantly fastened her long, shiny black hair, allowing a few loose strands to

delicately drape over her exquisite collarbone.

Her makeup was stunning. With a touch of sharpness, it gave her a refined charm.

The gown she wore was of collector’s grade, radiating a brilliant shine beneath the lights. It featured

diamond flowers that ran from the chest to the hem, showcasing her opulence.

The emerald gemstones in her jewelry were not only priceless but also extremely rare.

Everyone was blown away by Grace. Besides her extraordinary beauty, her extravagant attire could

rival a listed company in terms of extravagance.

All eyes turned to Benjamin./

The granddaughter of the wealthiest man had served as his secretary and spouse, and he had driven

away. One couldn’t help but wonder, did he regret it?

Grace approached the microphone. Her starry eyes swiftly locked onto Xander in the crowd.

Xander gave a faint smile and raised his glass, signaling to Grace. This made her blush uncontrollably.

Benjamin observed the silent exchange of glances between the two. His gaze darkened. He was

He had never imagined that Grace was the granddaughter of the world’s richest man.

After three years of marriage, he had never known that this woman was actually the granddaughter of a

billionaire!

She was… remarkably adept at manipulating people.

An uncontrollable surge of anger churned within him as he recalled the smile she and Xander had

exchanged moments ago. His dark eyes flared with an intense fury.

They seemed to have a history together. Had she left him for Xander?

Meanwhile, Yvonne was also struggling to accept the situation.

As she observed Grace in the spotlight, memories of Yvonne’s past arrogance came to her mind.

It filled her with intense hatred and a desire to vent her inner anger through a loud scream.
