“This… How is this possible?”
Before he could finish speaking, he saw the evidence document in front of him, which was presented
by Eric. It confirmed that the incident of encountering the disguised assassin at the Mellis family vi
was indeed orchestrated by Nancy.
She pretended to offer him shelter, but behind his back, she had nned to send him to his death.
His tears flowed like rivers, realizing that the evidencepiled by Eric couldn’t possibly be fake. It
was precisely because he knew this that he felt extremely heartbroken, as if his heart was being
suffocated.
Nancy had deceived him for so long, causing him immense pain….
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry, Boss. I have betrayed your trust. You can punish me in any way you want.”
Seeing him cry so miserably, Eric sighed and said. “Repeat everything you did for Nancy, without a
single mistake.”
“Alright…”
As he spoke, Eric listened attentively and recorded his words on theputer.
That’s all. Since the hijacking incident, I have been imprisoned by Grace’s faction.”
Eric handed theputer to Edgar, who carefully reviewed it before closing the device. His gaze
toward Tim became slightlyplex.
“As formerrades who fought side by side, this will be thest time we see you. Is there anything
else you want to say?”
Tim closed his eyes, his heart turning to ashes.
“No, it’s my own stu pidity. Go ahead and do what you need to.”
Eric smiled. “Do you think the Boss wants to kill you? He prefers to see you alive and repentant.”
Edgar nced at the time and instructed Eric, “Find two people to give him a hundredshes, keep him
alive, and send him back. Let the bosses of the two factions in prison know that anyone who dares to
treat him well will have trouble with me.”
“Yes.”
Eric took theputer and left the room without looking back.
Soon, the sound of whipshes mixed with the painful moans of a man echoed in the room, sounding
miserable and eerie.
The next day, Grace finished breakfast and went to work. Edgar finished cleaning the dishes and left
the house one after the other.
Although he no longer held the position of head of the Fallen Family, the authority he had established
over the years remained. Plus, he still held 40% of the shares, so his influence in the Fallen Family was
still high.
It was only the office that moved from the 28th floor to the 23rd floor, but Edgar didn’t care. These
things were merely superficial to him. However, if Grace wanted it, he would spare no effort to help.
her.
But just because he didn’t care didn’t mean that others didn’t care.
During lunchtime, Manager Kenton and Manager Finn knocked on his door.
Chapter 13 6
.”Good afternoon, President Fallen.”
Both of them smiled, trying to please him.
Edgar nced at them and spoke in a cold tone, “What’s the matter?”
Manager Kenton and Manager Finn exchanged nces, and Manager Kenton said, “We came here
today mainly to discuss something with you, President Fallen.”
Edgar didn’t even raise his head and replied, “If it’s something significant, talk to Director Grace. If it’s a
small matter, find Miss Belinda.”
Both of their faces stiffened, and they exchanged meaningful looks.
Manager Finn quickly said, “Since the change in leadership in the Fallen Family, Miss Belinda has been
suppressing us, the long-serving employees. Moreover, President Grace is elusive, and we have no
way to reason with her. Now that you have returned, have you ever thought about reiming the Fallen
Family?”
Edgar paused for a moment but remained silent.
Manager Kenton added fuel to the fire: “The new President, Ms. Grace, seems to have little
understanding of the real estate industry, and Miss Belindacks ideas. Thepany can’t continue
like this forever, right?”
He tapped his fingers lightly on the desk, lost in thought, with a hint of contemtion in his dark
eyes.
“What do you want to do? Just say it.”
“If you have the intention to regain control of the Fallen Family, we will support you wholeheartedly! No,
it’s not just us. Many of the old employees are willing to listen to yourmand. President Grace only
has 5% more shares than you, but you have been in power in the Fallen Family for a long time. If you
directly confront her, your chances of winning won’t be low!”
Edgar fell silent for a while before saying. “Who are the people? Make a list for me.”
Manager Kenton and Manager Finn were overjoyed. “So, you agree?”
He pressed his lips tightly together, his expression inscrutable, and didn’t answer.
They knew he had a cold personality, so they assumed he had already had his own thoughts. They
eagerly handed over the list. When Edgar regained control of the Fallen Family, perhaps these old
employees who had contributed to thepany’s stability might even receive some sca ttered shares.
Both of them felt so happy in their hearts. They continued, “You can take your time, President Fallen. If
there’s anything we can do, just give us orders.”
“Mm.”
The two of them sensibly closed the door and left.
Edgar was still looking at the list when suddenly the door opened quietly, revealing the figure of Grace
in a white bodycon dress with high heels. He noticed her out of the corner of his eye and instinctively
looked up.
Grace leaned against the door with her hands crossed, looking at him with a smirk on her face but with
coldness in her eyes. From Edgar’s perspective, her figure was perfectly showcased in the tight-fitting
dress.
“Why are you here?”
Grace’s tone was indifferent. “This entire building belongs to me now. Can’t Ie? Or is it that I cane
at the wrong time and happened to overhear something I shouldn’t have?”

“I didn’t mean that.”
Edgar stood up, motioned for her to sit on the sofa, and poured tea for her.
After doing all this, Edgar handed her the list that was on the table. “Take a look at this.”
She nced at it roughly and looked a bit surprised.
“These are the people who can support you in reiming the Fallen Family. Are you selling them out
like this?”
Edgar pressed his lips together and, under her gaze, slowly squatted down on one knee, looking up
at her.
Grace was puzzled. “What do you mean?”
“In the future, I won’t let you raise your head to speak to me, because the person who should be
looking up to you is me.”
As he said these words, his ck eyes were incredibly serious, and his handsome features resembled
those of a deity. Due to the effects of the special medicine he had received, his face was somewhat
pale, but it added a touch of sickly beauty.
Grace was stunned for a moment, unable to believe that such words coulde out of Edgar’s mouth.
“To gain my trust, you’re really willing to go all out.”
“I know you don’t believe me now, but as time goes by, you will understand that I haven’t lied to
you.”
??
Grace sneered and harshly grasped his chin. “Edgar, I hate being deceived the most. When you used
to have a sharp tongue and hated me, at least it was genuine. If I catch you lying to me, there won’t be
any good consequences!”
Edgar: “…”
Clearly, the words he was saying now were the most genuine!
Grace released his chin and shifted his gaze back to the list. “How should I deal with this group of
employees who are loyal to you?”
Edgar sighed. “They are all long-time employees of the Fallen Family. We can’t simply dismiss them all.
Besides, they are also individuals. If you provide them with good employee benefits, over time, they will
also support you.
“So, you want me to turn a blind eye and pretend I didn’t see anything?” Grace asked.
“Yes, with this list, you can have a clearer understanding of potential threats. You can appropriately
reward them for their work and remain vignt in case any of them have ulterior motives, Edgar
exined.
Grace pondered for a moment, somewhat skeptical. “So, you had Manager Kenton and Manager Finn
write this list specifically for me?”
“Yes, if you hadn’te today and I returned to the Bay Vi, I would have personally given you the
list. But you happened to be here, and I almost misunderstood…” Edgar’s mouth was slightly droopy,
appearing somewhat aggrieved.
Ignoring his expression, Grace asked, “Providing me with this list muste at a price, right? What do
you want?”
Edgar met her gaze without intending to hide his intentions. “I would like to request to have an
assistant.”
