Chapter 82 Remember to Kneel

Everyone’s attitude changed immediately. They had all thought Richard was an upright man, and they

were surprised to see that he was just like everyone else.

“My goodness, taking back his words because he was discovered cheating! If he hadn’t been

discovered, then Ms. Lewis would have been humiliated for nothing.”

“It’s completely immoral to force someone to say that they’re the third party in a relationship when they

were the original partner.”

“We may be entertainment reporters, but we don’t write stories that aren’t true. Mr. Quine Senior must

be getting soft in his old age!”

“There’s no use being loud and bossy if he can only bluster.”

Richard was so enraged that the veins on his neck were bulging out. The comments around him

became more and more insulting.

“Here!”

He pulled off the thumb ring roughly and was about to slam it on the table. But he couldn’t bear to do so

and put it gently into Grace’s palm instead.

He said threateningly, “You’d better take good care of it. I’ll be back for it soon.”

“We’ll see when that happens.”

Grace cocked her head to one side and looked at Zoey, indicating that she was ready to leave.

“Ms. Lewis, please wait a moment. I’ll help you find a proper box for your ring.” The waiter had been

watching avidly from the sidelines and was full of admiration for Grace, the female ” gambling legend“.

“There’s no need for that. Do you have any plastic bags? Just put it in one for me.” Grace looked

disinterested.

“We don’t have to be so careful with something that can just be thrown aside.”

Everyone was shocked by her statement.

This was a priceless artifact on par with a national treasure. Richard valued it more than his life!

But here she was, planning to put it in a plastic bag!

As her words fell, Richard felt greatly distressed. But he had already given her the ring, so all he could

do was kick the chair in anger and leave, his face stony.

“Mr. Quine Senior, don’t forget about making Yvonne kneel down to me to apologize!” Grace reminded

him.

“Hmph!”

Richard walked even faster.

Zoey laughed delightedly. “It’s a pity Yvonne didn’t come. If she had, she would have kneeled then and

there, and it would all be done at once. It would have been easier for me to edit the video of it too.”

Grace smiled. “We still have time. There’s no rush.”

“How are you so good at gambling?” Zoey was curious.

“I used to sneak out to the casino to play with Caleb, and every time we went, we would stay for a few

months.

“I learned a lot just by watching them every day, so of course I have some skills.

“Caleb is even better than I am when it comes to cheating. I’ll get him to give you a show one day.”

Zoey nodded and thought immediately of an appropriate headline-“Superstar Secretly a Gambling

King.”

It would surely be the top trending topic.

But then, she would never randomly leak the secrets of the Lewis family.

The two of them walked out, laughing.

Benjamin’s tall figure was standing beside the car. His well–cut suit fit him perfectly, and his handsome

features were cool and distant.

Zoey thought that Benjamin’s looks really were worth all the women in Pamore going crazy

over him.

But that was just his looks.

Anyone would go crazy if they had to live with someone like him.

He wasn’t a good person.

Grace acted as if she hadn’t seen him and looked around for her car.

When Benjamin saw Grace’s outfit, his attention was immediately drawn to her. He had never seen her

in this color. It made her look like a fairy in the night.

The warm yellow lights at the door shone on her sculpted shoulders, making it look as if they were

glowing.

She was smiling and talking, and every movement tugged at his heartstrings,

He walked up to her and asked, “Where’s the thumb ring?”

Grace looked sideways at Benjamin, her gaze scornful. “You’re so obedient. You’re always being sent

to ask for things.”

“You won’t need that.” Benjamin’s cold gaze was fixed on Grace. “I’m willing to buy it at market price. Is

a check acceptable?”

He hadn’t wanted to get involved, but Richard had used Alexander against him again.

He’d had no choice but to come.

“He told you to come and get it? How are you so sure that I’ll hand it over?”

Grace’s slender neck and proudly lifted head made her seem even more elegant and striking.

“You can get hundreds of millions for nothing. You won’t be making a loss through this deal. Just think

of it as my compensation to you for what happened during our marriage.”

“Are you an idiot?” Grace looked at him in disgust.

“I won this. You should pay me for it if you want it. Why the hell would this be compensation?”

Benjamin was stumped. He definitely hadn’t thought things through before speaking.

Although there was no longer any relationship between them, he couldn’t help but mention their

marriage whenever he met Grace.

Even he felt that he was being ridiculous.
