Luna leaned in curiously. “Madam Grace, what happened? Is it about Julian p>
Grace panicked for a moment and quickly put her phone away, forcing a weak smile.
“No, no. A wealthy lady invited me out for coffee a few days ago, and I agreed to go.
“But I completely forgot about it until just now. She messaged to ask where I was, and I figured I better show up or she might get offended. So, I’m heading over this afternoon p>
Luna’s sudden approach had startled her.
If Luna saw the message and realized what was going on between them and Autumn, things would’ve been hard to explain.
Seeing Luna’s puzzled look, it seemed she hadn’t noticed anything, and Grace finally let out a silent breath of relief.
Luna responded kindly, “Oh, I see. Then go ahead, Madam Grace. Sienna and I will keep shopping p>
Grace mentally gave Luna a thumbs up.
The more she saw of her future daughter-in-law, the more she liked her.
Unlike that troublesome Autumn, who had forced her to hand over money and now had the nerve to threaten
her.
How absolutely infuriating.
The contrast between the two couldn’t be more obvious.
Luna had all the qualities of a well-raised heiress-elite education, excellent family background, gentle, and thoughtful.
Most importantly, she could help grow her son’s company.
No wonder Autumn was a lonely orphan with nothing to rely on.
Aside from her pretty face, she had nothing to offer.
At 2 p.m., Autumn arrived at Sojourn Café with a thick stack of printed documents.
Grace was already seated by the window, waiting.
As soon as she saw her, Grace crossed her arms and asked disdainfully, “Autumn, what are you trying to pull here p>
She sat with a lofty air, looking completely superior.
Autumn walked over and set the papers on the table.
“That’s exactly what I wanted to ask you, Ms. Palmer. What exactly are you trying to pull?

“You signed the contract in black and white, and now you’ve gone back on your word. You’re even having your son sue me to take the money back.
“Don’t you think that’s shameful p>
“I don’t know what you’re talking about p>
Grace’s eyes flickered, but she forced herself to stay calm.
“All I know is that you told me you were buying a gift for Julian, and that’s why I gave you six million dollars.
“How was I supposed to know you were lying? Julian never received anything from you. I’ve got the payment receipt right here.
“If you won’t admit it, that’s fine. We’ll settle this in court and see who the judge believes-me or you p>
The contract had already been destroyed.
Autumn wouldn’t be able to prove they ever signed one.
As long as she stuck to her denial, nothing could touch her.
“Is that so p>
Autumn pulled a copy of the contract from the stack of documents and handed it to Grace. “Then what do you call this p>
Good thing she had prepared for this.
Knowing Grace had been reluctant to give up that money, Autumn had made sure to keep more than one signed copy of the contract, just in case.
Grace took the document.
It was identical to the one they had signed, and most damning of all, her own signature was clearly at the bottom.
The slap to the face came fast and hard.
Her mind blanked, her cheeks burning hot with embarrassment.
After just one glance, her instinct was to tear the contract apart.
But Autumn calmly warned her, “Go ahead and rip it, Ms. Palmer. I’ve got plenty more. Tear away to your heart’s content p>
Thank God she’d made backups.
If not, she wouldn’t have stood a chance against Grace’s tricks.
Without that foresight, she really would’ve had nowhere to cry.
“Autumn, you actually planned this. And now you’ve learned to threaten me too p>

Grace’s hand froze in mid-air, furious and humiliated.
“You could say that.” Autumn gave a faint smile. “Why don’t you listen to this recording and see if the court thinks it clears my name p>
