Chapter 217

Grace thought that she had made a point.

In a family with traditional beliefs like the Grant family, Eder, the current head, should be inclined to believe in these kinds of things.

She had a sincere expression on her face as she quietly waited for his reply.

Behind the chair, Eder wiped off the coffee stains from his thin lips.

“Miss Smith. I also have had a fortune teller tell me that I’m going to have a strong body and that my life is going to be tough, so I can’t help but hurt my future spouse’s life. You and I are a match.”

Grace was speechless for a moment. She was still smiling, but deep inside, she was raging-

“Would it be inappropriate to curse him right now?’

She gritted her teeth and forced a soft voice to say, “What a coincidence!”

Eder nodded lightly, but he put down the coffee and did not dare to drink anymore.

Grace was really unwilling to leave without success, and continued to babble nonsense:

“Actually, there’s one more thing that may dad must have lied to you about. It was something unfair to my ex-husband. 1 fainted once and the doctor said that I was too weak and Infertile. He then divorced me because of it.”

With his back to her, Eder quietly took a deep breath.

Fortunately, he had decided to stop drinking his coffee or he would have choked on it again. At this rate, he would have suffered a myocardial infarction on the spot.

Meanwhile, Grace was still passionately going on and on:

for you. However, I won’t

“As head of the Grant family, the continuation of the lineage is impo be able to help you with that. So this marriage is doomed to start.”

Not only was she fated to be unlucky, but she was also infertile. Their married life wouldn’t be easy.

After all of what she said, he should have something to say, right?

Ider was quiet for a while before finally answering in a h oar se voice, “I don’t like children. And I’m usually busy with work. If you can’t give birth then let’s not have one. There’s no need for it completely if you’re also amenable to it.”

Grace: “???”

“Are you really okay with this?”

It wasn’t like she was the only woman in the world, so what was he doing to torment her like this?

She gritted jer back teeth and asked in a calm tone, “It seems that you’re okay with the marriage, after all. Só was it really Mr. Grant who arranged it, or were you involved in it?”

Eder: “Grandfather calls the shots. I simply have no objections.”

And now it turned out that he was filial towards his elders.

Grandfather?! Hah!

‘If your grandfather tells you to eat s hit, would you actually do it?!”

Grace’s stomach was burning with rage

Endure it, endure it, endure it!’

The Murare and a Monday Es milt

Chapter 217

In her heart, she hated Eder.

Her impression of him was so negative that it couldn’t get any worse.

She didn’t want to talk nonsense anymore, so she stood up and straightened the crease on her skirt.

Her soft attitude finally changed.

“To tell you the truth, I like someone else, and I’m very dissatisfied with this marriage contract. I believe that you wouldn’t want to marry someone whose heart belongs to another. Anyway, sooner or later. I’ll still withdraw from this marriage. If you could please help me with this, especially in front of Mr. Grant, I’ll owe you a favor and we can still be friends.”

“That’s all. Goodbye.” She glanced at the man behind the chair, then turned around and left without looking back Eder never turned around.

Her statement. “I like someone else,” pierced his heart.

His long eyelashes drooped slightly. His eyes gradually dimmed, and his handsome face was pale.

Grace went downstairs and walked out of Eder’s villa yard.

Just as she reached the door, she suddenly saw a figure pass by so quickly out of the corner of her

eyes.

It looked like…

‘Eric?

But then if he saw her, how could he not say hello and even sneak away from the side?

Grace felt strange, and the pit of her stomach was churning.

She hadn’t been drinking today, so she couldn’t have mistaken him for someone else as she did with Edgar that night.

After pondering for a while, Grace turned around and re-examined the villa.

She remembered that before Eric had left, he had said that he was going to work with a new boss.

If she was really not mistaken, could it be that Eder was his new boss and that Eder was also a member of the National Bureau of Investigation?

She remembered the rumors that the boss of the National Bureau of Investigation wore a mask because he had an ugly face. Maybe it really was Eder.

However, none of this mattered to her. The marriage had to be canceled anyway.

Behind the thin black curtains in the villa’s study, Eder’s deep black eyes silently watched everything that was happening at the entrance.

Grace’s petite figure was standing at the door, cluelessly staring at the window of the villa’s study.

Eric ran all the way upstairs. When he reached the entrance of the study, he almost ran past the desk and had difficulty stopping immediately.

When he did stop, he was panting heavily and rubbing his chest to comfort the shock he had just gotten downstairs.

“Boss, why did Ms. Grace suddenly come here? You should have told me. I almost ran into her when I entered. Good thing I managed to dodge quickly.”

Eder did not say a word, but the air pressure in the room dropped.

Eric sensed that something was wrong and approached him, “What’s the matter with you, Boss?” “She said that she likes someone. His tone was very low and his eyes showed vulnerability. He had thought that since he died for her, she would at least keep him in her heart, but it seemed like wishful thinking.

Eric couldn’t say anything as well.

“It’s only been half a year, and you have a new man you like so soon?’

Eric felt a little distressed for his boss.

He wanted to persuade his boss to give up, but he also understood his personality too well, so he could only comfort him:

“Boss, don’t overthink this too much. You’re Eder right now, not Edgar, so it’s natural she doesn’t like you. Why don’t you pursue her again? Anyway, you don’t look the same as before. I’m guessing that she doesn’t recognize you.”

That night in the abandoned warehouse six months ago, he was burned by a fire.

After returning to settle the issues within the Grant family, he discreetly went to Country H for plastic surgery. Although his current face had been altered because of the surgery, he still retained most of his original features.

He was being ignorant.

It was no wonder Grace wouldn’t recognize him. However, she was smart that if they met face to face, she would immediately notice the similarities.

On the way back, Grace was still thinking about her engagement.

Since Eder wasn’t going to cooperate, the marriage could not be dissolved before the banquet that was happening in three days.

‘S hit!’

Thinking about it just made her angrier with the passing seconds. How could such a man sn atch the title of being the richest man in the city from her father?!

It was so frustrating.

Fortunately, she had a high fighting spirit and went to arrange the construction of the Angle Group branch that day so as to expand their business as soon as possible.

Her third brother only had one hand to hold the entertainment industry in his grip. He was the man who controlled the life and death of most of the entertainment industry.

So she would be the woman who would take the other half of the entertainment industry!

After a busy afternoon, Grace finished selecting the venue for the building and began to arrange for the company’s interior decoration.

Eleven suddenly called.

“Miss, your uncle, Mr. Logan, and his family know you’re back. There’s going to be a lot of trouble in the Smith family’s ancestral hall. They said that you used sulfuric acid to hurt him before, and now they’re seeking justice for it.”

As soon as when she made her identity public, she knew that her fourth uncle, Logan, would find a chance to complain to her.

She just didn’t expect him to be so impatient.

But well, he came just in time!
