“You…”
They were really going to sell him off? Greg felt extremely frustrated. But indeed, it had nothing to do
with Hailey and Joyce. He understood their refusal to drink the medicine with him.
But…
Selecting three bottles a day, what if he had the misfortune of choosing three bottles of M-drugs?
Would he be willing to sacrifice his life?
And if he ended up with both M-drugs andxatives, wouldn’t he he tortured to death from both ends?
No way! If he was going down, he would bring someone down with him!
He gritted his teeth angrily and looked at Edgar. “You little brat, you helped scheme against your own
second uncle! Have you forgotten that your mother also yed a part in this? If I’m going to be
tormented by these things, she shouldn’t get away with it either!”
Edgar’s expression remained cold and indifferent. “She made a mistake, so of course, she should be,
punished. I won’t show favoritism. Besides, I’ve already taken the punishment on her behalf.” That
medicine had almost sent him to the gates of death. He would never forget that heart-wrenching
feeling. By saying this, he first emphasized that he was just in punishing his own family, and then he
took the me for his mother, closing off any loopholes Greg could exploit. Greg was unwilling, but he
nced at the four bodyguards that Grace had brought with her. None of them were easy to deal with.
Even if they counted heads, he didn’t have enough people on his side. There was no choice. Greg
softened his tone. “Former daughter-inw, oh, I mean Miss Grace, can you give me a discount? Look
at this old bone of mine, how can it withstand such torment?” Grace smiled, her eyes crescent-shaped.
“Since the Second young master Fallen has spoken, of course, it’s possible.”
Greg hadn’t even had time to feel happy when he heard her continue. “But you’ll have to exchange it
with your Fallen family shares. 1% of the Fallen family shares can save you from drinking two bottles.”
In other words, if he handed over all lus shares, he wouldn’t have to drink a single bottle,
Hailey and Joyce thought it was a good solution.
“Husband, with the current state of the Fallen family stocks, they’re practically worthless. Why not
exchange them for this medicine? At least you’ll feel better,” Hailey suggested.
Greg refused her. “A woman’s way of thinking!”
This little Grace clearly came for his shares!
Those shares were the source of livelihood for his entire family and thest thing Grandfather left for
him. He couldn’t easily hand them over to an outsider.
“How are you considering it?” Grace pursed her lips.
“It’s impossible, absolutely not the shares. Not in this lifetime, not in the next!”
He looked at the ck and gold gift box opened on the table, took a deep breath, and picked three
bottles as if facing death. He opened them and swallowed them without even paying attention to the
taste. After drinking, he immediately squatted on the ground and began retching.
Halley and Joyce hurriedly came over to support him. Itis face had turned pale. “Quick! Call a doctor. If
I have an attack soon, it might be toote!”

The Hillim
Chapter 134
Several bodyguards, seeing him, an experienced old fox, acting so cowardly, burst intoughter. At that
time. Edgar already knew it was M-drug, so when he drank it, he didn’t even blink. Though they shared
the same surname, the inherent arrogance was iparable.
Grace said, “Trom now on, Fifteen and Seventeen wille and watch you drink three bottles every
day. Only when all the bottles are finished will it count.”
After she finished speaking, she left the Fallen residence without looking back.
Edgar immediately followed her footsteps.
After dealing with Greg’s matter, it was almost time to go to work.
This time, Grace didn’t n to let Edgar go home directly but took him to the construction site of the
Fallen Corporation. This is property ? N?velDrama.Org.
In the car. Grace exined. “Fallen Corporation had a project at the Maine construction site before.
Due to Yvonne’s mismanagement and Jade’s cutting corners, there was a construction ident that
even affected the newly built adjacent building. Jade has been dragging his feet and refusing to make
the payment, causing the construction team to be dissatisfied and create amotion at the
company. If you were in that situation, what would you do?”
Edgar thought for a moment and gave a concise response, “Make the payment and appease the
workers.”
Grace thought he mighte up with some extraordinary solution, but now it seemed she had hoped
for too much. The car quickly arrived at the Maine construction site.
Edgar looked up at the building outside the window and earnestly met Grace’s gaze. “If you’re willing to
trust me once, I can take over this project. I can handle it.”
Grace pondered for a moment but didn’t give her consent.
“It’s useless. Belinda did the same thing at the beginning, but the workers never trusted thepany
afterward and didn’t put in their best effort. However, if we rece all the workers, it might chill the
hearts of the entire Maine project staff, Grace exined.
The car quickly arrived at the Maine construction site.
Edgar looked up at the building outside the window and met Grace’s gaze with a sincere expression. “If
you’re willing to trust me once, I can take over this project entirely. I can handle it.”
Grace pondered for a moment but didn’t give her answer. Just then, Beth called again. There was
something that needed her attention at Angle.
During this period, she had been running between Angle and the Fallen Corporation, feeling a bit
mentally exhausted.
Especially since the Tallen Cor poration was currently going through a low period, it would take a long
time for them to return to their former glory and retrieve the 8.8 billion, along with the interest, from
Jade
While she was lost in thought, Edgar suddenly stood up and knelt on one knee beneath the car seat.
His intense gaze locked onto her with his ck eyes.
“Grace, please believe me. The control of the Fallen Family was entrusted to me by my grandfather a
long time ago. It is the foundation of the entire Fallen Family. I have been in power in the Fallen Family
for a long time, and I still have a great deal of prestige among the employees. I won’t harm the Fallen
Family, nor will I take advantage of the situation to seize your power.
Grace lifted his chin with her slender fingertips, and her tone cold as she said, “Based on the things you
did recently, why should I trust you?”
Edgar was momentarily speechless. No one would believe him, especially after he had injured her as a
test of her identity.
“I admit that at first, agreeing to sign the agreement had an element of testing you. But as I got to know
you, I realized that I genuinely like you. I have only liked you from beginning to end! So, I sincerely
want to stay by your side, Grace, 1…”
Grace ced her index finger on her own red lips, making a gesture for silence, not wanting to hear
any more of his cheesy words.
Edgar wisely kept his mouth shut.
Grace asked, “If I let you handle the Maine Project, what do you need from me?”
“Authority.”
As soon as these words were spoken, Graceughed, “You say you have no ulterior motives, Edgar,
you’re really good at acting. It’s a pity you’re not signed with Angle as an artist with such acting
skills.”
She gave him a cold nce and prepared to get out of the car.
Edgar quickly grabbed her wrist and sank to his other knee, keeping his back straight as he knelt in
front of her, exining. I desire authority not to take back the Fallen Family, but to make those people
believe in me. If you’re not at ease, you can assign Fifteen and Seventeen to monitor me. I won’t y
any tricks.”
In his ck eyes, there was an unprecedented sincerity, even apanied by a hint of imperceptible
vulnerability.
Grace nced at her phone, seeing that Beth was continuously sending her messages.
She pondered for a moment and said, “Alright, I’ll trust you this once. You have one month to handle
the entire Yunxi Project, from appeasing the construction workers topleting the construction. If you
can’t aplish it or dare to y any tricks…”
Edgar nodded, “If I can’tplete it, you can have my life.”
Was he staking his life on this?
“That’s what you said. But there’s one more thing. You can’t neglect the household chores of the vi
just because you’re busy with work. The vi must remain spotless until I return every day, and dinner
must be served hot. Can you handle that?”
There were only twenty four hours in a day, and with time for eating and sleeping, there was only about
half of the time left.
It was not an easy task for him to simultaneously handle both sides of the work within the limited. time.
But Edgar hardly considered it, his ck eyes fixed on her, a doting smile on his face. “Alright, as a
man, I can’t say I can’t!”
