Her knuckles turned white as she held the bedsheet too tightly.
She was afraid that he would give an affirmative answer, but she still held out a little hope in her heart.
But this time, Chad did not say anything. He let go of her hand coldly and pushed the door open
without looking back.
utside the door, Emma and Grace were chatting on the sofa. When they saw Chading out, they
were shocked.
“What’s wrong, Mr. Smith?” she asked..
Chad ignored her and looked directly at Grace. “You clearly know that she’s pretending to he sick.”
Was he… really angry?
It was the first time that Grace had seen Chad treat her like this.
She blinked guiltily. “I…”
Chad didn’t want to give her a chance to exin, so he strode downstairs and left.
Just as Grace was about to chase after him, she was pulled by Emma to check on Hedda in the room.
Hedda’s eyes were very red, as if she had just cried. And she was also in a bad mood.
Emma threw herself at Hedda and said with a pained expression, “My dear daughter, I’ve tried to
persuade you. Chad is too cold. He wouldn’t like you. But you had to give it a try, and now you’re
hurt!”
Hedda bit the corner of her lips and didn’t speak.
Knowing that Hedda had always been stubborn and that she could not persuade her once she had
made up her mind, Emma turned her head to beg Grace.
“Grace, for the sake of our rtionship, please help Hedda. Since you were able to ask Mr. Smith to
come to Frant City, you must have a way to make him stay here.”
Grace shook her head and said with a serious expression, “It’s useless. He’s a man of principle. If he
doesn’t like Hedda, no one can persuade him.”
Perhaps these words were a little too cruel for Hedda, but Grace had no choice but to say it bluntly.
It was better to have short-term pain than long-term agony. Hedda could only rely on herself to figure it
out as soon as possible.
Emma sighed in disappointment.
Seeing this sad scene, Grace couldn’t do anything to help. She turned around and was about to leave.
“Grace””
Hedda stopped her and asked uncertainly, “Are you going to be my enemy?”
Emma was so scared that she trembled. Nancy’s fate was still vivid in her mind. She didn’t dare to
move…
Grace stood there quietly for a few seconds.
Without exining or looking back, she left the Mellis family’s vi.
Aftering out of the vi, she saw Patric in his car by the side of the road waiting for her.

She went straight over, opened the door, and sat in the back seat.
Seeing her serious face, Patric gently rubbed her head.
“What’s wrong? Who offended my little princess?”
Grace was sad. “I offended Chad.”
Patricughed out loud. “Silly girl, you didn’t do anything wrong. Chad has been devoted to medical
research all these years and hasn’t been in contact with a woman. Dad scolded him many times. It
seems that he listens to you the most.”
“But he’s angry…”
Patric shook his head. “You don’t know him. He looks cold, but in fact, he’s shy. Anyway, you don’t
have to worry about it. If he’s really fated to be with Hedda, they’ll be together in the end.”
Grace breathed a sigh of relief.
Patric seemed to have thought of something, and his expression gradually became serious.
“Grace, there’s something that I think I should tell you…”
Seeing that he was serious, Grace couldn’t help bing serious too.
“It’s about… your ex-husband.”
Edgar?
Wasn’t he missing? She sent the Dark Bell to investigate, but they couldn’t find him. She only knew that
he suddenly disappeared the day before Nancy held the press conference.
Grace asked suspiciously, “Have you found him?”
Patric nodded.
“Chris found that he’s in the mountains of Frant City and Wind City.”
Chris was well-informed, and his informationwork was indeed better than the Dark Bell’s. It was not
surprising that he could find him.
However…
“What’s he doing there?”
Patric didn’t say anything, as if there was something embarrassing that he couldn’t bring himself to
say.
Grace put together all the clues of that period.
After thinking about it carefully, she shook her head with a smile.
“Does he think I’m dead and wanted to go there to get my body? Even if I died, he wouldn’t let go of my
body?”
Patric choked and had to change the topic. “He was trapped in the mountains this time, so he didn’t
come back for a long time. But it won’t be long before he returns to Frant City, maybe a week at
most.”
Grace froze for a moment.
A week was indeed a little short. If Jade hadn’t acted fast enough and Edgar had been able toe
back in time to preside over the situation, it would have been difficult for her to make the Fallen Group
go bankrupt. N?velD(ram)a.?rg owns this content.
Patric could tell that she was anxious.

“Then what are you going to do next?”
Grace looked up at him and smiled. “Very well. I’ll give him a big ‘surprise’ the day hees back!”
Patric looked at her burning eyes and lowered his head guiltily.
In fact, there were two more things that he had hidden from her…
It was Chris who had sent someone to trap Edgar. Chris hadn’t liked that ba stard for a long time, so it
was a good opportunity to teach him a lesson secretly.
Edgar came to him with no bad intentions but he did so in order to save her.
If Grace looked into it carefully, she would find that Tim’s kidnapping of the ne had nothing to do with
Edgar.
She just didn’t want to get to the bottom of it. She would rather believe that Edgar had betrayed her.
Patric opened his mouth and wanted to say something but stopped on second thought.
In the end, he didn’t say anything.
Even if Edgar was in the right about this matter, Grace had suffered a lot because of him in the past
three years.
It was time for him to pay for what he had done to her!
Knowing that Edgar wasing soon, Grace was in high spirits. The next day, she arranged for
Belinda to pretend to be a major shareholder of Beazer Real Estate.
She had bought thend in the western suburbs of the city, and the follow-up development n would
be discussed with the HYB Group.
“Tonight, take the Fallen family’s spy to the party with the HYB Group. Remember to give him a chance
to get the n.”
On the other end of the phone, Belinda was very surprised. “Boss, if he tells Jade about our n, she
will definitely stop us from cooperating with HYB.”
Grace pursed her lips and smiled. “Let’s see whether they have the ability or not.”
“What?”
Belinda couldn’t understand what Grace wanted to do, so she could only listen to her obediently. That
night, Jade came to the Fallen family’s ce in high spirits and asked Yvonne for credit. “Auntie, I’ve
got the cooperation ns of Beazer Real Estate and the HYB Group.”
Yvonne was pleasantly surprised. “Really?”
She hurriedly took the proposal from Jade and read it carefully. “That’s great! With this proposal, things
will be much easier.”
Standing next to Yvonne, Jade suggested, “Now that we know the price that Beazer Real Estate
offered to the HYB Group, we just need to double the offer, and their cooperation will be messed up.
“Beazer Real Estate is a smallpany with insufficient funds. When they make the advance payment,
we’ll intercept their cooperation. They don’t have money and can’t get a better building material
company to cooperate with. They can only wait for death and obediently hand over thend in the
western suburbs.”
Hearing this, Yvonne grinned from ear to ear. “Very good. Then I’ll leave everything to you. No matter
how much it costs, the Fallen Group can afford it!”
Jade nodded.
Yvonne patted her on the shoulder and looked at her seriously. “Jade, you are my most trusted child.
Don’t let me down!”
