Chapter 1047
“It’s not standard enough. Jump higher.”
Darcy could only grit his teeth and do as he was told.
Although it was easy to do the frog jumps and did not seem like a punishment, Darcy was more than
6.6 feet tall. It was still very strenuous for him to do this.
Seeing that the man she loved was being yed, Grace was indignant as she said, “Darcy, why did
you do as he said? Why do you listen to him so much?”
Grace was born rich, and she was still young. She had never worked with anyone, so how could she
know the employees’ fears of their bosses?
Especially a boss like Bruce.
“Bruce, how could you do this? What right do you have to punish others?”
Bruce snorted and said casually, “Let him do it for an hour first.
“If you don’t help me exin it clearly, then I’ll keep him dancing until tomorrow morning.
“If he doesn’t jump, I’ll get someone to break his legs and break his hamstrings.” Bruce said this purely
to scare her. Darcy had been with him for so many years. How could he bear to break his legs?
Grace was shocked when she heard that. “How dare you?”
“Let’s see if I dare,” Bruce said coldly.
“What right do you have to do this? Do you believe that I’ll call the police and make them arrest you
now…”
Bruce crossed his legs and smiled coldly. “Oh, right. Is your brother still using my certificate of
authorization?
“I’ll call your brother now. If he wants to continue using the certificate of authorization, I’ll charge 30% of
Grimm Group’s profits every year.”
Grace panicked. “Oh! Don’t, don’t, don’t.”
“I’ll call… I’ll call Joann to exin it, alright?” Grace was terrified.
She quickly took out her phone and called Joanna.
“Beep, beep, beep.”
Joanna picked up the call very quickly. “Hello, Grace.”
“Well, Joann, um… The videos and photos I sent you previously were all fake. They were all
photoshopped. Don’t believe them.” As Grace spoke, her eyes rolled.
“…” Hearing that, Joanna frowned.
How could that be fake?
“Well, I’m calling you now to help Mr. Everett exin it. He… He didn’t hook up

with Aria.
“Those photos were all photoshopped, so you must not believe them. Please forgive Mr. Everett! Also,
no one threatened me and forced me to call you, of
course.”
Joanna took a deep breath and quickly understood everything. Bruce must have threatened Grace.
That was why she made this call.
When Bruce heard this, he was even angrier.
This quick-witted little girl was really infuriating. If she wasn’t a girl, he really wanted to p her to
death.
This score had to be settled on Jaydon and Darcy.
“Keep jumping. Jump higher. Faster,” Bruce said coldly.
Darcy could only put his arms on his neck and squat down to jump faster and higher.
“Grace, is Bruce with you?”
“Yes, yes, he is.”
“What’s he doing?”
Grace pouted and looked at Bruce. She said unhappily, “He’s punishing Darcy. He’s so fierce.”
“…” Bruce’s eyes darkened. He was so angry that he almost vomited blood. When Joanna heard this,
she was so angry that her heart ached too. “Give the phone to Bruce.”
“Hey, Joann wants to speak to you.”
As she spoke, Grace handed the phone to Bruce.
Bruce took the phone. “Hello, honey…”
“Bruce, stop making things difficult for Grace and Darcy,” Joanna scolded Bruce immediately.
She knew his personality all too well.
“I didn’t!”
Joanna said furiously, “I just want to tell you this is between us. Don’t take your anger out on anyone
else.”
“Honey, let me exin this to you.”
“I don’t want to hear your exnation anymore.”
“You have to listen. We’ve been through so much together, and you won’t even give me this little bit of
trust?
“I really feel so pitiful. I really feel so pathetic,” Bruce also roared angrily.
Sometimes, he really couldn’t stand Joanna’s relentlessness.

If he wanted to cheat on her, no one could stop him. Since he had made a promise to her, he could
control himself.
“…” Joanna frowned.
“Yes, I admit it. I’m with Aria now. I’m with her to study something very important.
“As for what we’re studying, I’ll definitely tell you when Ie back this time. “Joann, we’ve known
each other for such a long time. If I have something to do with another woman, why would I have to
give you all my assets? Why would I have to marry you?
“Besides, if I want to have something with Aria, we would do it secretly, wouldn’t we? How can we let
others take photos so easily?”
“…” When Joanna heard this, she thought about it and felt it made sense. She was not that angry
anymore.
“Honey, I love you! Can you give me some trust?
“Can we just get along? Don’t quarrel any more. Let’s not have any more conflicts. When you’re at
home, I’m not worried when you meet Jaydon. Why don’t you
trust me?
“Think about what I said, okay?”
Joanna didn’t say anything and hung up silently.
Now, her mind was in a mess and she needed to calm down.
“Hello, hello…” Bruce said hello a few times, but Joanna had already hung up.
He wanted to call again, but after thinking about it, he held back.
It was better to wait for him to settle everything before going back to exin slowly!
Seeing his gloomy expression, Grace hurriedly said, “Hey, I’ve already exined it to her for you. You
can’t me me anymore.
“And you can’t punish Darcy anymore.” As she spoke, Grace looked at Darcy, who was sweating
profusely.
Bruce was so angry that he gritted his teeth. His hawk-like eyes darkened. He suddenly raised his
hand, wanting to p her.
“Oh, Darcy, he’s hitting me!” Grace was so frightened that she ran behind Darcy.
Bruce waved his hand and snorted. He didn’t want to hit her in the first ce. He just wanted to scare
her.
He would only hit a woman if he was forced into a corner.
“Alright, stop jumping”
Darcy heaved a sigh of relief. His legs were so sore that they were about to cramp. “Mr. Everett, I’ll
send her away now…”

“No, I don’t want to leave. I want to be with you.” Grace hugged Darcy and looked at him pitifully.
There was a big difference in height between them. She barely reached his heart. Darcy touched her
head as if she was a child. “Grace, stop fooling around. I’ll send you away first.”
Bruce raised his eyebrows. “Since you want to stay here so much, just stay here!”
When Grace heard this, she immediately beamed with joy and hugged Darcy tightly.
“Darcy,e out with me.” Bruce led the way out of the room.
“Oh, okay.”
When Darcy walked out of the room, Bruce locked the door behind them.
N?velDrama.Org owns this.
“Hey, what are you doing? Why are you locking me in the room?
“Open the door!”
“Bang, bang, bang!” Grace was locked in the house and knocked on the door with all her might.
Bruce pulled out the key to the door and ordered the butler in the vi coldly, “Since she wants to stay
inside so badly, let her stay inside for a few days. Serve her with good food and drinks. Don’t let her
leave the room.”
“Got it, Mr. Everett.”
“Hey, this is illegal detention. Let me out of here. Darcy, let me out. I want toe out. Bruce, you big
baddie. Do you believe that I’ll tell Joann all your bad things?
“I was wrong. Let me out. I don’t want to be alone in the room. I want to be with Darcy. Darcy, let me
out quickly. I want to go out…”
Darcy had a headache. Although he felt sorry for her, how could he dare to let Grace out? He could
only steel his heart and ignore her, hoping Bruce’s anger would subside and he could let her out.
Grace’s phone was also taken away. She was locked in the room alone. She was so angry that she
was about to go crazy.
Especially since she and Darcy were so sweet, and they wanted to be tied together like conjoined
people. How could she bear to separate from him now?
“Let me out! Let me out!” Grace cried as she banged on the door, but no one opened the door for her.
How evil Bruce was!
He wanted to break up the couple and separate them.
Before he and Joanna reconciled, they could forget about meeting again.
