Grace lightly frowned. The tone of his words seemed a bit flirtatious to her.
She snorted coldly and sarcastically remarked, “I don’t remember if you were capable in the past, but
now I’m guessing..
–
Edgar’s face instantly paled, understanding her implication. Due to the effects of the special drug he
had injected, his physical strength was not as it used to be.
But as a man, how could he possibly admit defeat in that aspect?
Without hesitation, he replied, “Do you want to try it now? Let’s see if I can handle it.”
“You’re asking for trouble!”
Grace was very angry, her starry eyes ring at him fiercely as she maliciously pinched his left check
and twisted it forcefully.
“Ouch, it hurts…”
Edgar’s face contorted into a knot, unable to dodge and could only yfully cry out in pain. Grace
released her grip in anger.
His left cheek had turned red from the pinch, and tears were welling up from the pain. He didn’t dare to
rub it in front of her, wearing a pitiful expression like a pushover.
Although she knew he was deliberately putting on a show for her, seeing his miserable appearance
made Grace feel somewhat relieved, and her anger subsided.
“Get off the car. Today is the first day of your life-or-death challenge. I’m heading back to Angle.”
“Okay.”
Edgar first brushed off the dust on his knee, sat back in the car seat, tidied his cor slightly, and then
coldly opened the car door and got out.
Grace watched as he effortlessly switched between expressions. It was such a pity that he didn’t
be an actor! Têxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org.
She called Fifteen and Eighteen in the back seat to follow him, and then headed straight to Angle.
Time flew fast when one was engrossed in work.
As it was approaching the end of the workday, Grace was about to make a call to Belinda to inquire
about the situation of the Maine Project.
Before she could dial the number, she received a call from Belinda.
Belinda sounded very excited.
“Boss, I don’t know what methods President Fallen used, but on the first day, the Maine Project has
already returned to its original order, and the atmosphere among the construction team is very
harmonigus. It’s truly amazing!”
Grace furrowed her brows slightly, “You’ve only known him for a day, and you’re already calling him
President Fallen?”
“Huh? No, no, no! I will always be loyal to you, Boss. My heart belongs to you, my life is…”
Grace rubbed her forehead, “Enough, I don’t need a pretty ghost.’
Belinda chuckled twice.
Grace regained herposure and instructed, “You continue to work with him. You need to
personally review all his decisions, grant him authority in public, but have the final say behind the
scenes. Also, pay attention to his handling of problematic projects and learn from him.”
“Yes, Boss,”

After hanging up the phone, Grace continued to arrange Abigail’s schedule. Taking advantage of the
current momentum, in addition to the group’s performance arrangements, Grace also helped her
secure some brand endorsements.
Because it was Abigail’s first endorsement shoot, Grace was worried that she might feel nervous, so
she had to keep an eye on her tonight.
But tonight, she also nned to leave work half an hour early and go home to inspect someone’s
household chores.
Beth had been assigned other tasks by her, and after careful consideration, Grace thought it would be
good for Patric to personally keep an eye on things.
When Patric received her call, he was quite surprised. “Little sister, you actually want me to oversee a
new artist’s endorsement shoot? Am I so unimportant to you?”
“You got it wrong. Third brother. Abigail is the artist I’m currently focusing on cultivating. Only you can
demonstrate thepany’s importance to her. From a different perspective, it’s actually showing how
much I value you.”
Patric knew she was trying to coax him with her sweet words, but when his precious little sister said
she valued him the most, his heart still felt warm.
“You smooth-talker. I’ll help you out, little sister.”
“Thank you. Third brother.”
After arranging everything on her te, Grace drove back to the Bay Vi.
As soon as she entered the garden, she called Seventeen and Eighteen. “When did Edgare
back?”
“Mr. Fallen arrived home about an hour ago, and he hasn’t stopped since he got back.”
Grace pondered for a moment. “What about during the day?’
“During the day, everything was normal. The two of us were with him all the time.
Would he really be obedient and not cause any trouble?
Grace was somewhat skeptical. But it was only the first day after all. If he wanted to gain her trust, he
would probably behave for a few days.
She thought about it while pushing open the door.
Edgar heard the noise and came out of the kitchen. Upon confirming that it was Grace, his dark eyes
showed a hint of surprise. “You’re hack so early today?”
Grace raised an eyebrow. “Is that not allowed?”
“Of course it is.”
Edgar stepped forward and took out a pair of slippers from the shoe cab, handing them to her feet.
“You’ve worked hard today.”
Grace could hear a slight panting in his voice, and his white shirt cor was soaked with sweat.
Obviously, he had been busy during the hour before she arrived home.
“Is dinner ready?”
“Not yet… Can you give me another twenty minutes?”
Chapter 115
Seeing that he had indeed been busy since he returned today, Grace didn’t intend to purposely make
things difficult for him. She lightly nodded and went upstairs.
At dusk, Fangcheng Men’s Prison.
After the prisoners had finished their meal, they were granted half an hour of free time.
The most respected big brother in the prison had a visit tonight, and Tim nned to sneak into the
bathroom during his absence for a quick shower.
At this time, there weren’t many people using the bathhouse. He had just taken off his shirt when
someone covered his mouth from behind with a white cloth and forcefully dragged him to a corner
against the wall
Although his martial arts skills were decent, he couldn’t withstand an attack from eight men ambushing
him from behind. They held him down firmly.
He struggled and made a couple of mu ffled sounds, but it was already toote when he realized there
was a sedative on the white cloth. He lost consciousnesspletely.
When he woke up again, the surroundings hadpletely changed. It was a run-down and dimly lit
small house.
Clearly, he had been taken out of the prison by someone.
He struggled with his bound wrists and found that both of his hands were tightly tied with ropes. He was
suspended upside down from the rafters in the small dpidated house, barely managing to stabilize
himself with the tips of his toes.
This position was extremely exhausting because his hands were tied in a reverse hanging position, and
soon his whole body would lose strength.
Creak.
The door of the shack opened, and as he saw who came in, his pupils dted.
“Edgar, Eric, you…”
Edgar ignored him, while Eric walked up and punched him. “You ungrateful traitor! Who does Nancy
think she is? You actually helped her falsely use Boss in front of Grace. Tim, are you stupid
or what?”
With the mention of Nancy, Tim’s emotions became somewhat agitated. “Don’t you dare say that about
her! What did she do wrong? It’s all that Grace’s fault! You and Boss were both deceived by that b itch!”
Eric was on the verge of spitting blood from anger.
Didn’t they say that it was girls who easily be foolish in love? How did Tim’s intelligence drop to
negative Jévels?
“You are unbelievable! After following Boss for so many years, you make pigs look smart by
comparison when calling you st upid!”
Eric was so frustrated that he stomped his foot, but Liunian waspletely unresponsive, unwilling to
hear a single bad word about Nancy.
Edgar sighed. “He’s not capable of listening right now. It’s a waste of breath to say anything more. He
thinks Nancy is perfect! Show him the evidence!”
Tim had been stubborn and defiant, until Eric presented the evidence using Nancy…
