After Grace addressed the plagiarism allegations at the press conference, reporters rushed to file their stories, all scrambling to be the first to publish an update. 

Liam had already reached out to several media contacts, urging them to cover the issue with fairness—that is, to focus on the plagiarism claims and not let Grace’s identity or personal life dilute the core of the story. 

The last thing they needed was for this to spiral into some tabloid circus.

Naturally, the journalists weren’t thrilled. After all, Grace—and her high-profile marriage—was juicy enough to fill pages. 

They could easily spin headlines speculating on her husband’s stance, their

  • A Marriage of Convenience   Ch66 - Full-blown addiction

    The moment her heel grazed the inside of his thigh, Raphael let go of her. Just like that. The hand on her stockinged leg withdrew, and he stepped back—gentlemanly, composed.Grace blinked, disoriented. Just seconds ago, she’d been melting into his kiss, wrapped in that warm, pine-scented embrace of his. Now, suddenly pulled away, a wave of loss swept over her.She hadn’t meant to push him away—not really. It was just that his touch on her thigh had made her go all soft and tingly, and her instincts had kicked in. But now she was sure she must’ve hurt him.“I’m sorry, I didn’t mean—”“It’s fine. Not your fault.” Raphael’s voice was low and rough, still edged with breathlessness. But his eyes… dark, stormy, unreadable. Like fog that refused to lift.Grace didn’t know what to do. She shifted slightly, legs swinging a little as she sat on the desk. One of her heels now dangled precariously off her foot, ready to fall at any second.Raphael couldn’t look away. His throat bobbed with a vis

  • A Marriage of Convenience   Ch65 - Possessiveness

    Following her lawyer’s advice, Grace submitted a request to have a well-respected, independent institution evaluate the authenticity of the other designer’s sketches. She also invited him to provide the original paper drawings for handwriting and carbon ink dating analysis.At first, the designer refused, going on social media to protest: “Why should I agree to some exam just because you doubt the date on my sketch? You’ve got all the money—who’s to say that lab isn’t in your pocket?”In response, Grace offered to let him choose the verifying institution. Still, he stalled.Meanwhile, she quietly reached out to the buyer who had purchased the asymmetrical pearl earrings the previous year, and respectfully requested to borrow them for submission to the National Jewelry Craftsmanship Association for review.By then, public opinion had begun to shift in Grace’s favor. Many noted how transparent and cooperative Élan G was being, while the so-called "victim" designer grew increasingly evas

  • A Marriage of Convenience   Ch63 - Three words

    Grace asked lightly, her tone soft and casual—like she was asking what they’d have for lunch. But from the second the words left her lips, her eyes hadn’t moved an inch from Raphael’s.She was watching him, every flicker of expression, as if trying to read the truth straight from his soul.Raphael’s hand at her waist unconsciously tightened. His gaze darkened.“Remember when you asked me the other day what kind of gift I liked?” he said quietly.His other hand rose, warm palm resting gently against her cheek, as though he were touching something rare and delicate.Grace was almost lulled by the tenderness. “What? You didn’t even answer me. I’m not

  • A Marriage of Convenience   Ch62 - That fear

    Grace pulled the phone back to her ear. “Didn’t you watch the press conference, Miss Dana? First line, clear as day—I’ve been the designer behind Élan G since day one. That’s three whole years.”"You—you—" Dana was so furious she couldn’t even string together a full sentence. “Give me back my four million!”“Sorry, babe, your rush-order earrings are about to ship.” Grace couldn’t hide her delight. She’d always imagined Dana would blow a gasket once found out the truth, and while this wasn’t the reveal she’d planned, the outcome was just as satisfying.She smirked and added, “Thanks for buying me that yacht, by the way.”

  • A Marriage of Convenience   Ch61 - The designer behind

    Raphael could feel something was off with Grace. When had her mood started to shift? Just moments ago, when she saw him outside the door, her eyes had clearly lit up—but the second her father was mentioned, something changed.She not only turned down her father’s help, but also emotionally shut him out.Reaching out, Raphael gently caught her wrist. “I’ve got nothing urgent this afternoon. I’ll stay here with you.”Grace’s gaze flickered. After a beat, she replied, “Suit yourself.”Everyone followed as she moved to the table. They all sat together, and Grace gave a quick rundown. “The designer claiming we plagiarized showed an old sketch, signed and dated from two years ago. It shares about 7
