Edgar raised his head to look at her, his thin lips curling into a ttering smile. Grace stared deeply at
him, her gaze piercing.
Tonight, he truly deserved punishment. If she didn’t teach him a lesson, she would feel unsatisfied. She
extended her hand and ced it in front of him. “Give me the belt.”
Edgar didn’t hesitate and swiftly untied the metal buckle, handing it over to her. Then, he turned
around, giving her his back.
Grace’s entire body trembled, and she folded the belt in half, her eyes filled with determination But just
as she was about to swing the belt, her gaze involuntarily fell on the palm-sized burn mark on his back.
The flesh was bright red, and the wounds were fierce, drawing attention.
This injury was caused by him shielding her, otherwise, it would have been her face.
As this realization struck her, Grace’s heart grewplicated. She sighed silently, her whole being
deting.
Did she really start to feel sorry for him?
This feeling made her ufortable.
The three years she spent in the Fallen family were like hell. She never experienced the slightest
warmth. After the divorce, she witnessed Edgar’s change and sincerity in her eyes.
But”
She would never walk the same old path again!
She tried to dismiss these thoughts and emotions, but in the end, it was she who got hurt.
Her grip on the belt tightened, her hands trembling as if she had made a decision. With gritted teeth.
she swung the belt forcefully.
p!
A crisp sound echoed in the room. Grace aimed the blow away from the wound in the middle of his
back, leaving a deep red and swollen mark on the smooth, honey-colored skin beside it.
Edgar remained motionless, not uttering a word or even flinching. Only the muscles all over his body
subconsciously tightened, as if he couldn’t feel the pain.
Grace stared at the red mark she had left, her gaze involuntarily drifting to the wound in the middle of
his back. The sight of the bl oody injury burned into her eyes.
Suddenly, a whirlwind of emotions engulfed her, and she couldn’t endure it a second time.
“Put on your clothes and leave!” She stomped her foot on his shoulder and tossed the bell back to him.
“Get out, I’m tired. I’ll deal with you tomorrow.”
With those words, she lifted the quilt and retreated to the bed, turning her back to Edgar.
Caught off guard, Edgar stag gered slightly. Slowly, he fastened his belt and retrieved the shirt and suit
from the dressing table. Since the bandage was removed, wearing them directly would soil the clothes,
so he held them in his hands.
When he nced back, he saw Grace lying on the bed, still wearing her coat. It couldn’t befortable
to sleep like that.
“Grace, you’re still wearing your coat. It won’t befortable for you to sleep,” he said.

Grace secretly clenched her teeth. “I don’t mind. Hurry up!”
Edgar didn’t move, standing at the foot of her bed, his gaze fixed on her.
Sensing his stare, anger surged through Grace. She abruptly sat up, her face puffed up with anger.
Grabbing the pillow beside her, she hurled it at Edgar
“Get out!”
Edgar caught the pillow and ced it on the dressing table.
Undeterred, she threw another pillow.
Edgar effortlessly caught the second pillow, a gentle smile on his fare.

But no matter what she threw, Edgar caught each item with ease, cing them neatly on the dressing
table. The smile on his face seemed indulgent.
However, in Grace’s eyes, it felt like a provocation.
Her frustration reached its peak, and she rummaged through the bedside table, searching for
something. Her hand finally settled on thenp,

lamp back on the table.
Taking a deep breath to calm herself down, she retrieved the pillow she had thrown and proceeded to
the bathroom to wash up.
The next morning, Grace remained silent throughout breakfast. Ignoring whatever Edgar said, she
finished her meal quietly and headed to Angle.
Since she had handed Nick over to Edgar, all she had to do now was wait for the results.
Upon arriving at the office, she first called her elder brother, Chris, and shared the name of the potion

Chris’s response aligned with Edgar’s exnation.

Ten minutester, Dark Bell sent the picture to her. Carefully examining it, she confirmed that it indeed

So, was he telling the truth this time?
But if the injury didn’t pose a threat to her life, why did Nick im that he had resolved the situation with
Edgar?
Grace had a nagging feeling that she had missed a crucial detail, but she couldn’t quite recall it.
She called Eleven and instructed him, “During this period, secretly follow Edgar and report
his every move to me. Listen to what he has to say without exposing yourself.”
Although Eleven didn’t understand the reason behind her request, he nodded in agreement.

After Grace left, Edgar washed the dishes and tidied up the vi. Then, he headed to the outskirts to
check on Nick’s situation.
As soon as Eric spotted him, he trotted over, his face beaming. “Mr. Fallen, good morning.”
Edgar nced at him. “How is he?”
Eric shook his head. “He’s not willing to exin anything. He’s been gradually climbing up thedder to
be the Director of the Secret Investigation Office, so he’s quite stubborn.”
Edgar’s gaze turned cold as he looked toward the hut.
“No matter how stubborn he is, I will make him yield. At thetest tomorrow, I’ll extract the truth from his
mouth.”
“Yes,” Eric respectfully replied, leaning closer to Edgar’s ear to whisper. “Mr. Fallen, your intuition was
correct. There’s something off about this Neen. Yesterday, he drove his car to the outskirts, got out,
and disappeared for more than ten minutes. He only returned when Miss Grace drove away.”
Furrowing his brows, Edgar asked, “Do you know where he wea?”
Eric shook his head. “He’s quite sly, and our people couldn’t keep up with him.”
Edgar pursed his lips, deep in thought. With his dark eyes fixed on a paint in the distance, he made at
decision. “Alright, I’ll leave it to you. I’ll return to Cloud View Vi.”
Upon reaching the vi, Edgar didn’t head upstairs immediately. Instead, he made his way to the
backyard.
Grace hadn’t brought Neen to thepany that day; she had left him at the vi. As Edgar arrived,
Neen had juste downstairs from the survence post and was now washing his hands.
When he noticed Edgar approaching, a smile formed on his face. “Mr. Fallen, what a coincidence!”
Edgar’s expression turned cold. “Unfortunately, I wasn’t looking for a coincidence. I came to find.
you.”
Neen’s smile faded, and he regarded Edgar with growing seriousness.
