    Grace smiled calmly and replied, "Now that things havee to this point, there''s no need for you


    to y dumb."

    Max''s face immediately darkened, and he turned to Shane. "What happened? What did you do to


    offend Ms. Lewis? Tell me the truth."


    Shane''s expression turned dark, and he leaned in to whisper something.


    Upon hearing it, Max mmed the table, eximing, "You reckless idiot!"


    Startled, Shane quickly tried to appease him. "Max, don''t be mad. It was a moment of impulse."


    Max tried to calm himself down and stay level-headed before Grace.


    Shane had been with him for many years. He was Max''s right-hand man. It seemed unlikely that he


    would dispose of Shane just for Grace.


    So he smiled apologetically and said, "Ms. Lewis, perhaps there''s a misunderstanding here?"


    Grace had a rough idea of what was happening and responded, "Max, I almost lost my life, and


    you''re telling me that it''s a misunderstanding?"


    Max knew Grace''s identity. Although he had some influence in the city, he didn''t dare openly


    confront Grace.


    Thus, he yed the mediator and poured a ss of wine and offered it to Grace, saying, "Ms.


    Lewis, my men were ignorant to offend you. Take this as a token of my apology. Let''s forget the past


    and put a full stop to this."


    Grace snorted coldly, extended her hand, and knocked the ss over. The ss fell to the ground,


    shattering into pieces.


    Shane shouted in agitation, "Grace, don''t be ungrateful. Max has already apologized to you humbly.


    What more do you want?"


    Grace looked at Shane and said, "What do I want? It''s simple. I want your life!"


    Her words were filled with threat. Everyone present couldn''t help but shiver. They hadn''t expected


    her tomand such power with her words.


    After a few seconds, Shaneughed, openly disying his disdain for Grace.


    "You want my life? That depends on whether you have what it takes."


    Grace lowered her eyes and fiddled with her fingers. She seemed rxed, but her words sounded


    eerie.


    "I wouldn''t havee today if I didn''t."


    Seeing Grace''s determination, Max quickly intervened. "Ms. Lewis, calm down. It''s not good for your


    body!"


    Despite Max trying to smooth things out, Grace had to take Shane away today. This man had nearly


    taken her life and had to be held ountable.


    "Max, make your decision. Will you hand him over or not?"


    Max remained silent, but Shane became impatient. "Max, we can''t let a woman lead us by the nose.


    Who does she think she is? Just say the word, and I''ll take care of her."


    Max made a gesture, silencing Shane instantly.


    He stood up, returned to his seat, and looked at the chessboard before him. He then said, "Ms.


    Lewis, how about a game?"


    "Max, why y chess at a time like this? This woman is arrogant. Let''s just teach her a lesson."


    "Shut up." Max was angry.


    Since Grace had walked in, he had been acting like a wolf in sheep''s clothing. This was the first


    time he had lost his temper.


    Shane dared not say anything and stood silently on the side.
