Chapter 36

Chapter 36 Aunt Gill was secretly shocked.

Young Master must have seen through this little slut’s scheme, right? Then wouldn’t he be a fool...

At this time, Joseph had already picked up a black umbrella and pushed open the door with a heavy expression.

“Hey! Young Master!” Aunt Gill called out anxiously.

However, the man still held the umbrella and walked out. She was so angry that she stomped her foot.

Outside the door, Grace sat paralyzed in the rain. She could no longer hold on, and her heart was beating back.

But when she saw the figure that was as noble and handsome as a god walking towards her, she was excited and ecstatic. She cast her charm and sobbed pitifully.

Joseph frowned and quickly walked in front of her. One hand held the umbrella for her and the other hand picked Grace up from the ground. The strength was very strong and she could not act shamelessly. He even had a bit of a strong attitude.

“Brother Joseph...” Grace lightly groaned and jumped into his ar arms.

Just a moment ago, she was still half–dead. Now that she met him, she was revived with full blood. Her arms were like snakes, tightly wrapping around his strong waist. Her wet face rubbed against his chest.

“Your body is weak to begin with. If you are drenched in the rain like this, you will get sick.”

“If I don’t do this, will you come to see me, Brother Joseph? I just want to see you... But why don’t you want to see me?”

“Brother Joseph... Do you not love me anymore? You have been cold to me recently... Is it because of the suit last time?” Grace raised her pale and miserable face.

“I know I was wrong. I will go and apologize to Raya. I will go and beg her for forgiveness, okay?”

“No, I am not angry anymore.”

“You can be at ease now that I have met you. Grace, go home and 13:09 accompany your family first. After the storm has subsided, I will go to you again.”

“Brother Joseph! Please... please save my brother, okay?”

Grace saw that he was so anxious that his face turned red. He could no longer care about her usual arrogance. She hugged the man’s well–built body and fell inch by inch.

“My brother is going to be sentenced! No one dares to come forward to defend my brother because of Thorp Group’s abuse of power!”

“They, Thorp Group, have gone too far! They are forcing our Brown family to death! Brother Joseph... you must help us...”

“My family is going to go bankrupt. My brother will be done for once he becomes a prisoner! I beg you...”

Joseph’s eyes were cold, and his tall and straight posture did not waver at all, as if he was a banished immortal who had not been tainted by the mortal world.

He seemed heartless, but his love for Grace was very persistent. The young man promised that he would stay available for her until he was thirty years old. Even if he did not hesitate to hurt another woman who loved him deeply, even if he was put on the label of unfilial grandson, he would marry her.

But he was just impartial when it came to such things. He was not tolerant of Brown family committing crimes, and his attitude was so cold that it was comparable to a judge of the King of Hell.

At this moment, Joseph recalled the harsh words he had left when he went to negotiate with Chloe for Brown Group, as well as the scene of him mocking Raya with Brown Group’s matter. His heart was filled with regret, and his tone became even colder.

“Thorp Group is innocent, and your brother is reaping what he sowed. I suggest that he be honest and lenient, and strive to reduce his sentence. This is the right path.”

“As for Brown Group, it’s time to reorganize the internal affairs. A general is incompetent, and so a thousand soldiers are exhausted. Even if I give you another billion, if you don’t find problems with yourself, in the end, you won’t be able to reverse the situation.”

Grace’s lips trembled and she was completely dumbfounded.

She originally thought that if she cried and sold herself miserably, Joseph 13:09.1 would definitely soften up like before and obey her every word.

But this time, she was wrong. In the past, Joseph had always been tolerant of her because she had not touched his bottom line.

But as long as his bottom line was broken, even if she was the person he loved deeply, he would not show mercy.

In the end, Joseph personally stuffed the crying Grace into the car, ordered the driver to lock the car door, and watched her leave the locked space. Only then did his eyebrows relax a little.

He stood in the rain with the black umbrella for a long time, and when he remembered the disappointed look in Raya’s eyes, he felt a slight pain in his heart.

It was thin and dense, and he could not avoid it.

Miller was caught, and Brown family’s villa was dead.

Mr. Brown and his wife saw that their daughter was covered in mud and her face was pale and depressed. She came back like a resentful ghost who had been lost in the river. The first sentence was not about how she had become like this. Instead, they anxiously asked if Mr. Sawle would help them.

In the end, Grace just shook her head with a sad face.

“Useless thing!”

Chairman Brown coughed a few times in pain and pointed at her nose in anger. “From the time you curried favor with Joseph until now, have you helped the family a little?”

“After rubbing shoulders for several years until now, you have not taken any of the shares, and you haven’t even entered the Sawle Group! I see that Joseph does not love you at all. Giving birth to a daughter means losing money! What’s the use of having you?

Grace’s eyes were red with anger. Chairman Brown originally valued men more than women. When he heard that she was a girl, he forced Willow to abort her. It was the doctor who said that there was no possibility of getting pregnant again after the abortion.

In addition, Willow insisted that she would give birth to her.

In the end, after giving birth to her, her mother still could not conceive, which made her father hate her even more.

Since she was a child, Raya had been living in the shadow of her elder brother. To gain her aunt’s approval, she had to give up her childhood at a young age. She developed psychological tactics to ensure a better future for herself, so that her father would see her in a new light and she would rise like a phoenix among women.

Joseph was the first test subject of her when she was eight years old.

Originally, she looked down on this illegitimate child in her heart.

It was her aunt who asked her to practice with Joseph first. Even if she didn’t like him, it was also a very prestigious thing to have a young master of a rich family who was willing to be her follower.

Therefore, her aunt provided her with an opportunity. Not only did she become the savior of Joseph, but she also became the light of redemption in his dark life, which made the man so obsessed with her.

In the end, she also helped Brown Group a lot, but in the end, Chairman Brown still regarded her as a tool to rope in powerful people, and the slightest mistake made her worthless.

Grace was so angry that her eyes almost popped out of their sockets, and a dark sneer actually appeared in her heart.

She didn’t want to help Miller. That good–for–nothing better rot in prison for the rest of his life. That way, Brown Group would be hers. Even if it was just an empty frame, it would still be hers!

“Alright, stop talking! What can you do to Grace if Joseph refuses to help?”

Chairman Brown shifted his anger to Willow, “It’s all your fault! If not for you doting on Miller and spoiling him to the point of being lawless, how could he end up like this?”

“Brown family’s men are all useless and only know how to vent their anger on us women! What great ability!”

Chairman Brown was so angry that his head was about to burst into flames. When he remembered that his wife’s sister was Jake’s wife, it was not good for him to flare up with this nepotism relationship.

“Right now, the most important thing is to quickly restore our image and also to let the marriage between Grace and Joseph be settled quickly.”

Willow thought of how Joseph did not save her son, and her eyes became fierce, “If it really can’t be done, find a way to speed it up. At that time, that Sawle guy can forget about abandoning our Grace in this life!” “Mom! You, you forgot about me...” Grace pointed at her stomach in 8:09 horror.

Willow remembered that the pregnancy mark on her abdomen had not been cleared yet and could not help but sigh in frustration.

“Grace, if you really can’t remove it, then cover it with a tattoo. This is the fastest way to solve it.”

Grace was extremely unwilling in her heart. Who would want to tattoo a mess on her stomach? She had always been a pure and innocent girl. However, after doing a few treatments, there were still traces of her skin. If she could not get rid of the pregnancy lines when she got married, she could only use this lowly method!

At this time, the maids came downstairs with things in their hands.

“Madam, everything is arranged.”

“These, these are all my jewelry boxes! Mom, where are you going to take them?”

“Sell them.”

“What? How can this be! These are all my collections!”

Grace panicked and ran over to grab the most valuable box.

This was the token of love that Joseph had given her. It was a ruby pendant called “Heart of Crimson Flame“. It had been personally sent to France three times two years ago. It had been stationed for half a month and had been designed for her by a first–rate jewelry designer.

Although she did not know how much this pendant was worth, such a first–year ruby was extremely rare. It had to be at least seven digits, right? Joseph had always been generous to her.

“The company now needs money to transfer. If we sell these and some of my valuable jewelry, we can still stand up for a while longer.”

“Moreover, there will be a charity auction in half a month. We must go to the auction to earn a wave of favorability and wash away the negative image of our Brown Group!”

“What’s more, Sawle family’s Old Master’s birthday is coming soon. The things we bought at the auction can be used as a birthday gift to Old Master Sawle. Wouldn’t it be a good deal?”

“Grace, when you marry Joseph, that kid will send a mountain of gold and silver to you. Don’t just focus on small profits. You have to keep your eyes on the long–term prize.”

“You will be the wife of Sawle Group. We can’t rely on your brother for Brown family’s future. Mom will rely on you! alone!”

Grace hesitated for a while, but in the end, she gritted her teeth and handed the box to Willow.
