    Upon seeing his puzzled expression, Grace exined, feeling a little ttered by the look in his ck.


    eyes, “Didn’t you say that regr ointment wouldn’t work for wounds caused by the 540 strong


    corrosive agent? This box contains specialized ointment that I bought this morning. I’ll use itter, and it


    should help you recover faster.”


    Edgar looked down at the ointment in her hands. Though she didn’t say it explicitly, he knew in his


    heart that this ointment was only avable in the warboratory. It was likely that she had contacted


    Chris to obtain it.


    The treatment effect was decent, but with the 5404 biochemical virus in his body, this ointment would


    be ineffective for his injuries.


    “Thank you. This is the first gift you’ve given me since your divorce,” he said, his thumb gently rubbing


    the cintment box. His eyes turned reddish, and even the wounds all over his body felt less painful.


    “It’s not a gift. This time, you got hurt because of me, so consider it my way of making amends,” Grace


    replied, her voice trailing off. “And if we really think about it, the true ‘gifts’ since the divorce would be


    the bankruptcy of the leng family, your employment agreement, and that 023 medicine.”


    Edgar rubbed the back of his hand, feeling a shift in her demeanor. Suddenly, her words didn’t carry the


    same weight”


    Grace observed his expression, pleased to see it stiffen. A smile bloomed on her face as she went to


    retrieve Nick’s written confession from the table.


    She read every word carefully, her smile gradually fading, reced by a more serious expression. “Nick


    said that Mr. Logan Smith instructed everything that happened at the bar and the potion. incident?” she


    asked.


    Logan was her fourth uncle. In the Smith family, he was an idle person with no ambitions.


    She had previously suspected her third uncle, Mr. Xander Smith of being involved in the schemes


    against her, but she never expected it to be Logan.


    Edgar nodded. “Though Nick may not have exined everything in detail, he can clearly outline the


    exchange process. Logan’s son works in the State Affairs Bureau, and Nick fears him and follows his


    orders. It would make sense for him to be sent to theb to steal the medicine.”


    Grace sat on the small sofa beside him, silently contemting for a long time. Anger slowly surfaced


    on her face.


    “This Logan, I won’t let him off the h ook! Tomorrow, I’ll discreetly head to S City to collect what I’m


    owed!”


    If someone dared to harm her in such a sinister way and didn’t let him taste the consequences, she


    couldn’t just let it slide!


    She looked up, noticing the injuries on Elgar’s body. “You’re still injured. Just stay at the Cloud View


    Vi. You’re not allowed to apany me this time.”


    Edgar was worried that he wouldn’t find an excuse to join her if she forbade him from going, so he


    came up with a quick retort.


    “Alright, I’ll stay at the Cloud View Vi and wait for you toe back,” he acquiesced, lowering his


    voice as he sp ake thest few words. However, Grace was too engrossed in carefully reading Nick’s


    confession to notice.

    “Logan, that cun ning individual, has been hiding so well!”


    “From what you said, it seems you’re quite familiar with this Mr. Logan Smith. Have you been to the


    Smith family before?” Edgar raised an eyebrow, teasing her knowing the answer but wanting to hear it


    from her.


    Grace looked up, meeting his gaze, and arched her eyebrows. T’m not familiar with him personally, but


    I do know Mr. Patric Smith. Perhaps it’s because Mr. Patric Smith has shown me great kindness that he


    attracts jealousy from the Smith family. They came to harm me.”


    “Oh,” Edgar pursed his lips and chuckled.


    As he nced back at her, he noticed Grace studying his expression with sharp eyes. Quickly, he


    lowered his face, feigning unhappiness. “Why are you telling me this? I don’t think Patric is as good to


    you as you im.”


    Grace propped her chin up with her hand, her tone slightly yful. “So, are you feeling jealous again?*


    Edgar lowered his head and didn’t respond to her question. His voice was muf fled as he spoke, “I’m


    going to make breakfast.”


    IE wasn’t until he turned around that a smile tugged at his lips. Graceughed as well. With his


    departure, she pondered the contents of Nick’s confession once more, her thoughts now focused on


    nning her return to 5 City.


    While Edgar busied himself preparing breakfast, Joan purposely woke up fifteen minutes earlier than


    usual. She wore a charming yet cute pale pink nightdress and leaned against the kitchen door. tilting


    her head to watch Edgar cook.


    They say a man who can cook is the se xiest and most attractive, and in this case, it was even more so


    because of his handsome appearance.


    He was truly eye-catching.


    Joan contemted secretly bringing him back to the Knight family, allowing herself a few days to enjoy


    his presence. But how should she go about it?


    Sensing someone’s gaze, Edgar felt a bit ufortable but ignored it, focusing on chopping


    vegetables with his numb hands.


    “Hey! I’ve been standing here for quite some time. Can’t you see me?” Joan’s voice carried a yful


    tone as she pouted her lips, looking slightly displeased.


    Edgar continued chopping vegetables as if she were air, paying no attention to her.


    “You’re being rude. I am the hostess here, and you’re just a ser vant in Grace’s Cloud View Vi. How


    dare you ignore me!” Joan felt aggrieved.


    Throughout her life, everyone had treated her like a precious treasure, spoiling her rotten. How dare


    this ser vant disregard her!


    Edgar paused his chopping and spoke in a cold voice, “My loyalty is solely to Grace. Apart from her, no


    one has any authority over me.”


    “You!” It was the first time Joan encountered such an arrogant ser vant, and she couldn’t ept it.


    “Why can’t I summon you?” she eximed, anger mounting. She then walked into the kitchen,


    deliberately knocking over the ss of warm milk Edgar had prepared for Grace. She assumed an air


    of superiority.


    “Apologize to me! I demand that you speak to me the way you address Sister Grace! Otherwise, I’l


    The Millionaire and his Fallionaire E


    Chapter 200


    tell her that you spilled her milk and let her punish you!”


    Edgar’s ck eyes turned icy, and a chilling aura enveloped his entire being. He let the empty ss fall


    to the ground, shattering it into pieces right by Joan’s feet. He gazed at her with cold, ruthless eyes,


    and continued preparing breakfast without uttering a word.


    Joan’s grievances reached their peak. “How dare you treat me like this! You’ve gone too far!” She


    seethed with anger, ready to raise her hand and teach him a lesson.


    Edgar’s gaze remained cold and merciless, his grip tightening around the knife in his hand. An


    unreasonable fool-regardless of her being Nick’s sister, if she dared toy a hand on him, he would not


    hesitate to retaliate.


    However, before he could make a move, someone grabbed Joan’s wrist from behind. She turned


    around to find Grace holding onto her tightly, her eyes instantly welling up with tears.


    “Sister Grace, he’s bullying me! He even tried torm me with a ss! Although he may look


    handsome, he’s worse than the men at the barst n ig


    Tears streamed down Joan’s face as she spoke, feeling utterly wronged. “He’s mean and disobedient!


    Sister, please punish him!”


    Grace held onto Joan’s wrist, her eyes fixed on Edgar with a hint of amusement, her lips curving into a


    smile. “She ims that you’re mean and disobedient. Do you acknowledge this?”


    She was curious to see how he would react when used by Joan. Would he respond with anger or


    indifferently ept the punishment?


    Meeting her gaze with a clear expression, Edgar put down the kitchen knife and wiped his hands. His


    eyes appeared reddened, and his face held an expression of aggrieved innocence, like that of a


    deted balloon.


    “She wanted to call me, but I only listen to you,” he replied softly.


    “Furthermore, I’m always well behaved and obedient. I don’t know why she would nder me


    Joan blinked in confusion, taken aback by the unexpected turn of events. “Wait, what?”


    What in the world was happening? This wasn’t how she had envisioned things unfolding. How could


    this man act more virtuous than her?


    Grace released Joan’s wrist but maintained her amused gaze. “Well, it seems Edgar acknowledges his


    mistakes. You should apologize too, Joan”


    Joan’s tears abruptly ceased, reced by a mixture of surprise and resentment. How did the situation


    shift so dramatically? She nced at Edgar, still unable toprehend what had just transpired.


    With aposed expression, Edgar resumed his task of preparing breakfast, as if the previous


    confrontation hadn’t urred. The atmosphere in the kitchen gradually returned to normal. Grace


    stepped closer to Joan and gently patted her shoulder. “You should learn to be more understanding


    and tolerant. Everyone has their own role in this Cloud View Vi, and Edgar is a dedicated ser vant to


    me. He wouldn’t treat you poorly unless you provoke him.”


    Joan nodded begrudgingly, realizing she had crossed a line. Deep down, she couldn’t deny her


    jealousy towards Grace and her desire to regain her previous status as the center of attention


    As breakfast was served, the trio sat down at the dining table, the air filled with a mixture of


    awkwardness and underlying tensions. However, they made an effort to enjoy the meal, engaging in


    light conversation to ease the lingering difort,


    After breakfast, Grace turned to Joan with a warm smile. “Joan, since you’re here, would you like to


    113:12


    Chapter 200


    apany me on a little trip to 5 City today? There are some matters I need to attend to, and your


    company would be greatly appreciated.”


    Joan’s eyes widened with excitement. The prospect of an outing with Grace brought a glimmer of joy to


    her eyes. “Of course, Sister Grace! I’d love to apany you to S City!”


    Grace’s smile widened, pleased with Joan’s enthusiastic response. “Great! We’ll leave in a little while.


    Just go and freshen up, and we’ll be on our way.


    In the


    Joan quickly rushed off to prepare herself, her previous grievances momentarily forgotten in excitement


    of the uing trip. She couldn’t help but feel a renewed sense of anticipation, eager to spend quality


    time with Grace and perhaps gain a deeper understanding of her world.


    Meanwhile, as Joan disappeared to her room, Grace turned her attention back to Edgar. She could


    sense the tension lingering in the air and decided to address it directly.


    “Edgar, I apologize for Joan’s behavior earlier. She’s still adjusting to the changes and may not fully


    understand her ce here. I hope you can bear with her for my sake,” she said, her voice filled with


    sincerity.


    Edgar nced at Grace, his gaze softening. “There’s no need for apologies, Mistress. I understand that


    it takes time for everyone to adapt. I will do my best to be patient.”


    Grace nodded appreciatively, grateful for his understanding. She knew that having Joan around would


    inevitably bring about some challenges, but she believed in their ability to navigate through them


    together.


    Weverything settled, the trio soon embarked on their journey to 5 City. The drive was filled with


    lively conversation andughter, as Grace and Joan shared stories and anecdotes, gradually building a


    stronger bond between them.


    Arriving at their destination, Grace led Joan through the bustling streets of 5 City. The vibrant


    atmosphere, the mix of modern architecture and historicalndmarks, and the fusion of cultures


    fascinated Joan. It was an entirely different world from the sheltered life she had known.


    They visited various ces of interest, indulging in shopping sprees, sampling local delicacies, and


    immersing themselves in the city’s rich heritage. Through it all, Grace yed the role of a caring sister,


    guiding Joan with patience and affection


    As the day drew to a close, the sun began its descent, casting a warm, golden glow over the city.


    Grace and Joan found themselves sitting on a bench in a peaceful park, watching as the world around


    them gradually transitioned into the serenity of twilight.


    Joan broke the silence, her voice tinged with gratitude. “Sister Grace, thank you for today. I’ve never


    experienced anything like this before. You’ve shown me a whole new world.”


    Grace smiled warmly, her eyes sparkling with affection. “Joan, you’re part of our family now. It’s my


    pleasure to share these experiences with you. I hope that as time goes on, we can grow closer and


    create beautiful memories together.”


    Joan nodded, a genuine smile gracing her face. “I look forward to that, Sister Grace. I promise to be a


    better sister and learn from your kindness and grace.”


    As the evening breeze rustled through the trees, Grace and Joan sat side by side, their hearts


    connected by the bond of sisterhood. They knew that challenges and obstacles awaited them, but with


    understanding, patience, and love, they were determined to ovee them and build a harmonious


    family.


    And so, as the day faded into night, they continued their journey together, embracing the possibilities
