Chapter 284
The Millionaire And His Billionaire Ex-Wife
After all, Eric is coming, Grace doesnât want Ederâs dignity and face to lose in front of others, so she gestured to the small sofa beside her.
âGo and sit Eder did not move at all, and lowered his head angrily, his black eyes were so cold that he wanted to kill someone.
Grace remembered his illness, and quickly patted his cheek, gently comforting him.
âBe obedient, sit down. Maybe youâre innocence will be cleared in a while.â
Only then did Ederârestrain his tyrannical thoughs and sat on the sofa.
Fifteen minutes later.
Eric came in a hurry.
As soon as he entered the room, he was greeted by the cold and terrifying atmosphere in the living room.
Seeing the pack of cigarettes in the coffee table, he knew it.
His meticulous design wasnât in vain. The boss was caught so quickly.
Great job done!
He stood across the coffee table and was a little happy.
When Eder saw him he was furious! He actually dared to laugh?!
In front of Grace, Eder suppressed the fury in his heart, his voice was gloomy:
âGrace saw the cigarettes you put in the drawer. You honestly explain to Grace for me.
If you dare say a lie, I will bring you to the interrogation room tomorrow to use a lie detector and an electric shock device!â
Shit! So cruel!
Why was this different from the script he had envisioned?
Isnât the boss just looking forward to be hit? Shouldnât he be very happy?
Eric was so frightened that he didnât dare to say a word.
Grace frowned and glared at someone, âWhat are you threatening him for?â
âI, I didnâtâ¦â
Ederâs tone instantly weakened.
Grace did not intend to scold him, just looked at Eric and asked in a plain tone, âEric, answer me honestly, did Eder smoke today?â
Eric was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously glanced at Eder next to her.
Eder reminded lightly. âElectric shock device.â
Eric was completely stunned. âHe didnât smokel Boss, asked me for a cigarette, but he just threw it away after smelling it!â
Grace elegantly folded her hands in front of her chest and look at them back and forth calmly, reading through their expressions.
âDonât be afraid, Eric. With me here, as long as you tell the truth, I guarantee that Eder will not dare 15:55 to touch even a finger of you.â
With Graceâs assurance, Eric heaved a sigh of relief and raised his right hand and made an oath.
âMiss Grace, I promise that every word I say is absolutely true!â
âGood.â
Grace nodded, as if he believed him.
Eder heaved a sigh of relief.
However, before he could fully breathe, he heard Grace continued to ask, âWhatâs going on with the cigarettes in the drawer?â
âRoss, asked me to buy them for him this afternoon. He said to find a drawer and hide them.â
Grace heard the key words and narrowed her eyes. âHide?â
Eric modded, âBoss said that you have a lot of things to do during the day, so you donât often look through the drawers. He asked me to find a drawer in the corner to store it, so that it canât be found.â
Grace sneered and looked meaningfully at Eder beside her.
âOh, so thatâs the case⦠So that, I wonât be able to find itâ¦â
Eder was so angry that he almost vomitted blood!
Son of a b*tch! This bastard!
The situation is getting out of hand.
He gave Eric a hard look and gritted his teeth: âI want you to explain, not tell her what I said before! You came here to help me! Itâs all for nothing!â
Eric seemed to finally understand.
It turned out that he had misunderstood during the day. He thought that the boss was deliberately looking for abuse. It seemed that he really wanted to hide from Miss Grace!
Compared with Ederâs explosive anger, Grace smiled very gently. âDonât be afraid, you explained it very well. With me here, you can say it with confidence.â
However, Eric, who learned that he had done something wrong and harmed his boss, was not as confident as before.
He had to think carefully about how to make up for his mistakes, Otherwise, his life would be over!
If Boss was really angered, even Miss Graceâs assurance will not be enough to save him for sure.
death!
After pondering for a while, he said earnestly, âMiss Grace, itâs true that heâs not right for hiding it from you, but he really remembered your customized schedule in mind and never thought of smoking.â
âHeâs been taking medicine three times a day recently. Those medicines are very bitter. If taken too much, they will cause loss of appetite and nausea. He wanted to find a way to relieve the bitter taste after taking the medicine. He just used the wrong method!â
Ericâs statement was spoken with extreme care and earnest.
Ederâs gloomy face gradually improved and he finally heard a few pleasing words from a certain person who was here to help him.
There was no superfluous expression on Graceâs face, making it impossible to guess whether she believed it or not.
Eric asked tentatively, âMiss Grace, just donât be angry with him.â
After all, there were outsiders around, so Grace did not say that someone had lied to her and had tried to lie to her again.
She looked at Eder and smiled gently. âThis is a small matter for me to be angry. Eder, donât you agree?â
Eder nodded honestly.
Grace retracted her gaze and looked at the cigarettes on the coffee table. âBut in the future, donât keep these cigarettes. Theyâre not good things. Eric, empty the cigarettes in the drawer and sell them all at a low price.â
âLow price?!â
Ericâs eyes widened, they were all imported highâquality cigarette packs, they were very expensive!
This is what he has in his mind. It was too bad to sell them at a low price. His heart was bleeding! Eric glanced at him, âListen to Grace, take all these cigarettes away tonight. I donât want to see these things again!â
Eric felt bitter.
âOkay, boss.â
Eric was dealing with the cigarettes in the living room, Grace stood up and held Ederâs hand, âLetâs go upstairs.â
It was obviously a very calm tone, but Ederâs heart still skip a beat.
After the extensive explanation⦠does he still have to go back to his room and get beaten?
With complicated emotions, he let Grace drag him back to the master bedroom.
âSit.â
Eder sat down obediently, feeling very uneasy.
He wasnât sure if Grace would be angry or not, but he knew that he really⦠really hated being hit!
If it werenât for the fear that Grace would be angry, he would have long wanted to throw the drawer, and mahogany ruler, and the washboard into the Pacific Ocean, the kind where he can no longer fish them it out!
Just as he was thinking about this, he saw Grace turning her head, walking towards the bedside table, with her hand on the first drawer, as if she was about to open it.
He knew very well what was lying inside!
Before Grace could fully open the drawer, he grabbed his heart, frowned, and said weakly, âGrace, I⦠I feel badâ¦â
Grace ran over almost immediately to check his condition. âChest pain? Is the illness flaring up again?
How could this happen? Logically speaking, after taking the medicine for a week, it should not be so easy for you to get sick.â
His breath was weak, his eyelashes were drooping, his handsome face was pale, and his whole body was fragile, as he leaned against her embrace.
Grace was very worried, âI canât bear it if you get sick! Iâll help you get the medicine to supress the onisel effects.â
âNo need!â
She was about to get up when someone grabbed her wrist.
The hand was very gentle, without the slightest feeling of weakness that had caused him to tremble in pain before.
As if realizing that he had reacted too aggressively, Eder let go of her hand and burrowed his head to her arms as he spoke in a low voice, âI mean, Iâm much better with you in my armsâ¦â
Grace didnât speak.
She lowered her head, narrowed her cold eyes, and quietly stared at someoneâs head.
This thing not only lied to her today, but also deceived her.
Originally, she wanted to let him go and use the antiâswelling ointment in the drawer to wipe his knees.
But now it seems⦠huh!
