In the Lap of Luxury

Chapter 411 Flawless Acting

When Jessica heard this, she couldn't help laughing out loud. Her laughter was shrill and jarring to the ears. It made everyone who heard it frown.

She only stopped after a long time and then pulled herself free of Grace's grip. She said coldly, "What kind of nonsense is that? If I'm not Jessica, then who am I?"

"That's what I want to know too."

Grace looked grim as she stared at Jessica, trying to get something out of her.

However, Jessica only laughed. "Is this the evidence you found, Grace? As far as I can see, this doesn't prove anything.

"Can this prove your innocence? I don't think so! The fact is that you plagiarized me, and I advise you not to keep badgering me or making up ridiculous excuses like this."

Grace raised her eyebrows. "So you won't admit it?"

Jessica looked righteous. "What do I have to admit? Do I need to prove my own identity? You don't see any burn scars on my body because I had a skin grafting operation, which covered the scars very well. Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

"As for the blood type that you mentioned, maybe it was recorded incorrectly when I registered for college. The most ridiculous thing you've said is that my design style has changed. That's the biggest joke I've heard!

"Everyone has a different understanding of design at different stages in life, and that's normal. My style was immature back then, and now I've matured. That isn't strange, is it?"

There was silence.

Jessica had refuted every one of Grace's claims and didn't look guilty at all. Grace couldn't help but admire how quickly she had reacted and how calm she was.

Grace couldn't help applauding her.

The sound of clapping rang out, and Jessica looked confused. "What are you clapping for?"

Grace answered calmly, "Ms. Landon, your acting is flawless. It's a pity you aren't an actress. If you decide to get into acting, I believe that you can get an Oscar!"

"I could say the same about you, Grace! We're both the same."

Grace shook her head slightly and sighed. "It's just … What a pity! No matter how silver-tongued you are, you can't change the facts. Although you flatly deny that you're posing as the real Jessica, the truth can't be hidden."

As she spoke, Grace pulled out the death certificate that she had gotten from Adeline.

"This is enough to prove that the real Jessica has already passed away. Wouldn't you say so?"

When Jessica saw it, her expression changed completely, and she blurted out without thinking, "How did you get that?"

She moved forward as if to snatch it from Grace.

Grace dodged and managed to avoid her. "Don't be in such a rush. This is just a copy. If you want it, I don't mind giving you one."

Jessica clenched her fists and banged them hard on the table. Then, she began laughing loudly.

"Grace, it seems that you weren't sincere about coming here to settle things. You went and dug out so many things, which clearly shows that you don't want to discuss this properly.

"Since that's the case, don't blame me for not playing nice. If I can't get the one billion dollars … I. Will. Ruin. You."

As Jessica spoke, she pulled out her phone and made a call. "Do it!"

Faced with Jessica's actions, Grace remained calm. She pulled out the chair in front of her and sat down impassively.

Xander brought a teapot over to pour her a cup of tea. Grace took a sip and savored its taste. "Ms. Landon, this is pretty good tea."
