Chapter 72 Under Her Spell
Yvonne had never been yelled at this loudly before. She felt so humiliated that her lips trembled.
However, she still stood tall.
She refused to bow her precious head in front of someone, especially when that person was
Grace. It was her fault that Yvonne was stuck in Frenda and not Pamore in the first place.
Yvonne was still in that awkward situation when she spotted Benjamin coming over.
A plan formed in her head, so she walked over to Grace and only stopped when they were inches
apart.
Grace looked at Yvonne wearily. “What now?”
Yvonne had a twinkle in her eye that suggested the ruthlessness of someone who was about to take
their enemy down with them. “You drove me to this, Grace,” she scoffed.
Then, with a loud scream, she abruptly fell over and crashed into a nearby vase.
As the huge, three–foot–tall vase clattered to the ground, she bumped her head on a pillar before
passing out.
Grace looked on emotionlessly. It was the same old trick, from the same old person.
As Benjamin rushed over to help Yvonne up, he scolded Joe coldly. “Why didn’t you break her fall when

Joe’s face fell when he looked at Yvonne. She had been pulling the same old trick whenever she ran
into a problem she couldn’t fix since childhood.
As her brother, he knew her tricks all too well. But he also couldn’t expose her for the very
same reason.
Benjamin shot Grace a cold look. “So you won’t even spare pregnant women now?”
He still had mixed feelings for her, and that included a rage he couldn’t understand himself.
He had tried to talk, but she had refused. He had bowed down and apologized on behalf of his
family, but she hadn’t offered a single ounce of forgiveness.
When Hestia recognized Benjamin and saw him defending Yvonne, she became furious, and her tone
became murderous. “You cheating bastards! Get out of my exhibition!”
“Aunt Hestia, I can handle this.” Grace patted Hestia’s hand reassuringly, then turned to
Benjamin.
“Have you fallen under Yvonne’s spell? Why do you trust her so much?” Grace pointed upward at the
security camera with an icy look. “Want to see what really happened?”

“Sure.” Benjamin replied with an equally icy tone. “A pregnant woman would never endanger herself
like that.”
Joe smiled, thinking, “You’re wrong. She absolutely would.”
Yvonne, who had gone silent, started panicking. She had been so quick to execute her idea that she
had forgotten to check for cameras.

Grace had so many powerful supporters that if this got out of hand, Yvonne would have to actually
apologize. She didn’t want to do such a humiliating thing!
“Benjamin … what happened?” Yvonne pretended to wake up, putting a hand to her forehead weakly.
Grace snickered. “Oh, look. The witch woke up right on cue.”
Benjamin let go of Yvonne, the coldness on his face intensifying. “Was it Grace who pushed you?”
“No, I fell over myself.” Yvonne was so good at acting that she managed to look genuinely sheepish.
Rage flashed in his eyes as he looked Yvonne up and down. “Then what were you screaming for?”
Yvonne got chills down her spine from that frigid gaze alone. “I was scared!”

seem to care about him at all.
Now that Yvonne had ruined his plans to partner with Fulton Group, Benjamin knew he was in the
wrong and had no choice but to accept his loss.
“Take her back. I’m leaving,” he said to Joe, then walked away. After he strode out of the exhibition hall,
he called his driver with a frown. Yvonne showed up behind him.
“I’m sorry, Benjamin. I didn’t know why I fainted all of a sudden.”
Benjamin remained unmoved and didn’t answer.
Yvonne looked at Benjamin pleadingly. “I’ve been so stressed lately. Maybe it’s because Danielle’s
death anniversary is coming up.”
Benjamin seemed to soften when Danielle was mentioned, though he was still frowning. “Just focus on
taking care of the baby. Don’t stress yourself out.”
“Benjamin, can’t you come visit Danielle with me?” Yvonne’s gaze was pitiful, making her look
sympathetic. “I’ve been in Frenda long enough. I’ve really learned my lesson.”
