In the Lap of Luxury

Chapter 470 Get Justice for Me

Tears began streaming down Kayla's face. She had gentle and feminine features, so her crying face looked very pitiable.

"It's fine. Just tell me what's troubling you." Grace comforted her.

Kayla started crying even harder. The people around them started to stare at them. Grace instinctively frowned.

Kayla stopped crying after a long while. Then, she said, "Ms. Lewis, VERE Jewelry terminated their sponsorship contract with me. Also, Ms. York slapped me. This mark on my face is her doing."

Grace's expression turned grave when she heard that. She started to think about what Kayla said.

She had known Lydia for many years. Lydia was someone who tried her best in life and work. She had gotten to where she was by creating countless designs all by herself.

Besides, Grace knew how Lydia treated other people. She would never be the instigator of an incident. Of that, Grace was very sure.

So she asked calmly, "It's okay. Tell me slowly. What happened?"

Kayla heard that and thought Grace believed what she had said. Hence, she proceeded to tell Grace an exaggerated version of what had happened.

Naturally, everything she said was in her favor. She even omitted some facts.

Grace thought her story was completely ridiculous. So she pointed out the fallacy mercilessly. "You said Ms. York of VERE Jewelry canceled your sponsorship?"

Kayla didn't pick up on Grace's skeptical tone. She nodded and said, "She has it out for me. That's why she's doing this. Her employee brought me the wrong necklace, but she demanded I pay for it.

"She took 30 million dollars from me like it was nothing. It was my life savings. Ms. Lewis, you have to get justice for me."

Grace sneered. Kayla's words made no sense at all. Then, what was the truth? She must be hiding something!

"Since you've suffered such injustice,. I'll see to it that you get treated fairly."

Kayla was delighted to hear that. She had thought that Grace and Lydia were close, but it seemed like they weren't as close as they appeared to be.

"Thank you, Ms. Lewis. Please help me get the 30 million dollars back. Thanks."

Grace waved her hand and cut Kayla off. "Since I want to help you get justice, I need to get to the bottom of this. I can't just take your word for it."

Kayla's face paled when she heard that. "What do you mean by that, Ms. Lewis?"

"You said the conflict happened in the backstage lounge, right? Longacre Building has surveillance cameras in all of its lounges. Why don't we check the surveillance footage?"

Kayla staggered and almost fell over. Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

"There are surveillance cameras?" The guilt in her tone was unmistakable.

Grace replied, "Yes, in every lounge. Didn't you know that, Ms. Green?"

Kayla was dumbfounded. She had thought nothing could prove her wrong. She hadn't expected there to be surveillance cameras.

She quickly said, "There's no need for that. Ms. Lewis. I don't think we should let this matter escalate further. After all, our company wants sponsorships from VERE Jewelry in the future, too.

"We shouldn't break things off with them because of a minor incident. It's not worth it. My personal interests are nothing compared to the company's."
