In the Lap of Luxury by Unsweetened Chestnuts

Jessica was wearing heavy makeup today. It made her look very vicious as she smirked.
"The collaboration between Amirate Corporation and Byte Technologies is set in stone now. We're approaching the fourth quarter of the year now. Benjamin, will you help me?"
Benjamin smoked from across her. His gaze fixed on Grace, never wavering. She seemed very happy today, exuding a relaxed air, far from her cautious self when she was around him. "Help you with what?" he asked, disinterested.
"I can't let Grace succeed in this collaboration," Jessica stated firmly.
Benjamin scoffed upon hearing this. "Why, Danielle? What makes you think you can sabotage her deal? I told you, I won't let you touch her."
Jessica raised an eyebrow and mocked, "You're quite the knight in shining armor. I never noticed that before.
"You might like her, but it's clear she detests you! Since that's the case, why not join me?"
Benjamin rubbed his temples and took a big swig of his drink.
"If you don't have anything else to say, I'm leaving!"
"Wait," Jessica called out softly but firmly.
"I don't want her dead. I just want her to fail. Is that so hard to do?"
She walked up behind Benjamin, her fingers resting on his broad shoulders. "Tell me, what if Grace finds out that the man she fell for at first sight was actually-" "Enough." Benjamin's fingertips pressed against her red lips.
"Are you planning to use this to control me for a lifetime?"
Jessica broke into a smile.
"It depends on whether you care about her forever. If you do, then that's my winning card."
Disgusted, Benjamin pushed her away. He took a deep breath and said, "Mr. Thorne from Byte Technologies has an illegitimate child."
Jessica's expression turned grave.
"Having an illegitimate child isn't big news nowadays."
"The mistress is Willow Hudgens. She's a big celebrity."
Jessica paused. Willow was a famous actress. More importantly, she was married but had a child with Matthew.
Jessica fell into thought, then laughed uncontrollably. "Good. Very good."
Benjamin grabbed her face and warned her, "You can sabotage the collaboration, but I forbid you from touching Grace." Slalch Thi Find_Nøvel.Det website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
"Your brother would be happy to know you care so much for his woman," Jessica retorted.
Benjamin let go of her roughly.
Grace had had too much to drink the day before and had a headache the next day.
Sipping on the juice the housekeeper had prepared, Grace checked her schedule on her phone and glanced at the trending news.
It was mostly about celebrities-nothing interesting-but the news about "Willow's child" caught her attention.
