In the Lap of Luxury

Chapter 423 Where's Yvonne

At the mention of this, Luke's expression turned serious. "Ms. Lewis, the collapse of the Dunhill mine is suspicious. There were no casualties at the scene, but it has had a certain impact on our project progress."

"Have you found out if it's an accident or intentional?"

Luke raised his eyes, his mouth pursed into a straight line. "Based on the traces at the scene, it doesn't seem like an accident."

Grace's eyes darkened slightly at this revelation, and she couldn't help but snort. "It seems someone couldn't sit still."

A meaningful look flashed across her face. "Is this related to them?"

Luke only said, "The investigation into this matter is ongoing. Once we get results, I'll report to you immediately."

Grace waved her hand, signaling for Luke to leave her office.

She raised her eyes and looked out of the floor-to-ceiling window. As she overlooked the city, she got lost in thought.

Just then, a pleasant ringtone brought her back to the present.

"Grace, shall we meet?" Jessica's voice came from the other end of the phone.

Grace's eyes darkened, and she responded, "What do you want to discuss with me, Ms. Landon?"

"You'll find out when you meet me in person. Or are you afraid to come?"

Grace's expression turned cold. "Ms. Landon, goading won't work on me."

Jessica chuckled, and her laughter came through the phone. "Do we need to play these guessing games between us? If you don't come, you'll regret it."

After saying that, Jessica hung up the phone.

The dial tone echoed in Grace's ears. Shortly after, Jessica sent her a location. It was a café opposite Amirate Corporation.

…

Half an hour later, Grace went to the café, where Jessica had arranged for them to meet. Inside, Jessica had been waiting for a long time.

Upon seeing Grace, Jessica stood up and politely said, "You finally came, Ms. Lewis."

Grace smiled without warmth. "Ms. Landon—no, I think I should use a different title."

Jessica just smiled without denying it.

After going around in circles, it was time to be honest. "Grace, let's speak frankly. I think you've guessed my identity. So there's no need for me to hide. Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

"That's right. I'm Yvonne's elder sister and the missing eldest daughter of the Quine family, Danielle Quine."

This answer didn't surprise Grace.

"So, Ms. Quine, why did you want to meet me today?"

"I won't beat around the bush. I want to know where Yvonne is now. Where did your family take her?"

Grace's expression turned stern. "Ms. Quine, you might be looking for the wrong person. I don't know where Yvonne is."

Danielle clearly didn't believe her. She clenched the spoon in her hand. "It's impossible. You hate Yvonne to the bone. How could you let her go so easily?

"Grace, as long as you spare Yvonne, I'll go easy on you. But if you persist, I'll make you pay a painful price."

Watching Danielle's resentful appearance, Grace remained composed.

Despite Danielle's threats, Grace only said indifferently, "What you want to do has nothing to do with me.

"Just a gentle reminder, Ms. Quine, Yvonne is currently facing a lawsuit. Even if she returns to Pamore, she can only spend the rest of her life in prison."

Danielle's hands clenched silently. "Do you think I'll believe you?"
