Chapter 81

Chapter 81

“There’s no need to mention the past.”

With an indifferent expression, Grace raised her goblet and took another sip of wine.

Adrain knew that he shouldn’t have asked, so he quickly found an excuse for himself with a smile.

“You’re right. Let bygones he bygones. I heard that Old Mr. Smith assigned you a task. How about it?

Are you confident in completing it?”

“Of course, I’m determined to get it done.”

As soon as her career was mentioned, Grace said with sparkling eyes, “I recently launched a new female group talent show. I’m very confident that it will definitely increase the popularity of the Angle Group.”

“That’s great, but I have something to ask you this time…”

Adrain looked straight into her eyes with a hint of hesitation on his drunken face.

“You…”

After struggling for a while, he chose to hide his true thoughts and said with a smile, “I intend to enter a cooperation with the Angle Group. What do you think?”

“Who would refuse a partner?”

The Angle Group now needed to introduce a large number of resources and talents now. Without a doubt, cooperating with Adrain would bring her more benefits.

“Then it’s settled.” Grace smiled slyly and reached out to clink glasses.

“It’s a deal.”

Adrain laughed heartily and clinked his glass against hers.

It was late at night when the three of them finished their dinner and returned to their rooms to rest.

Grace was not drunk. On the contrary, she was more sober than usual.

If she wanted to destroy the Fallen Group, she had to accumulate strength in a short time.

She pulled out a chair and sat down at the table, preparing to make the initial plan to bankrupt the Fallen Group.

The main industry of the Fallen Group was real estate. If she wanted to defeat it, she had to have a foothold in this industry.

However, she was not familiar with real estate. After thinking about it for a while, she still felt that it was most reasonable to ask Adrain for advice.

[Are you asleep? I have something to ask you. She quickly edited a WhatsApp message and sent it

over.

[No. I’m in the corridor.]

Grace gently opened the door, and Adrain stood by the window at the end of the corridor, enjoying the breeze.

He was looking at her quietly with his gentle and amorous eyes.

“I want to enter the real estate market, but I don’t know much about it. I need you to do me a favor. It’s very important to me, so please.” Grace leaned beside the window and closed it a little bit.

Adrain frowned but did not ask her what she wanted to do. “I do know something about it. I’ll study

12.05

it tomorrow and make a file for you.”

Having received his promise, Grace thanked him and returned to her room with satisfaction. With the help of professionals, her plan would be much easier to carry out.

She fell asleep contently.

However, at this time, in the mountain range at the junction of Frant City and Wind City, someone was still suffering from insomnia.

Sitting in the car, Edgar smoked one cigarette after another and stared out of the window gloomily. He had been looking for her for two days.

There was still no news.

He didn’t believe that Grace would die here. He would find her and take her back to Frant City.

“Mr. Fallen, when can we go back? the subordinate yawned and asked drowsily.

Edgar glanced at him coldly.

“When we find her.”

The man shut his mouth sensibly, but another man plucked up his courage to ask, “It’s been a few days since Miss Salen jumped out of the plane. There are wolves and pigs in this vast mountain range. What if she…”

“There’s no “what if. Even if there’s only a corpse left, we’ll still bring it back. If anyone dares to ask such a question again, don’t blame me for being rude.”

Edgar said these words calmly, but his tone was cold and fierce.

The rest were scared out of their wits and couldn’t complain anymore.

While everyone gradually fell asleep, Edgar was still awake. His eyes were fixed on the window, dark and unclear.

In the old mansion of the Fallen Group, the lights were still on.

“I’m so pis sed off!”

Yvonne threw a crystal glass to the ground, and it instantly shattered to pieces.

“Nancy actually held a press conference in the name of Edgar’s fiancee. It brought shame to the Fallen family. Now even the Mellis family has broken off their relationship with her. Why should we keep her?

Tomorrow, we will announce to the public that the engagement between her and Edgar has been canceled!”

Yvonne leaned back on the sofa angrily, her chest heaving violently.

“And the Mellis family! Aren’t they ashamed to raise such a daughter? How dare Emma ask me to replace Nancy with Hedda! Dream on!

“My precious son is more than qualified to marry the daughter of the richest family in Frant City. How dare the Mellis family ask for such a thing! I didn’t agree to this marriage at that time. If Edgar hadn’t insisted, these bad things wouldn’t have happened! I’m so angry!”

Seeing this, Mia hurried over to comfort her and give her some advice.

“Nancy is so good at pretending that I didn’t expect that she would do such an immoral thing! She

was even humiliated in front of the media. It’s so embarrassing! The engagement should indeed be canceled! But is there really no problem for us to do this behind Edgar’s back?”

“What problem could there be?”

Chapter 81

Yvonne frowned and became angrier. “I’m his mother! What’s more, Nancy has done such a thing. Will Edgar keep her?”

“But he’s not here. The Fallen Group needs him, right?” Mia sat down next to her in frustration.

“That’s a problem.” Yvonne fell silent.

“But since Edgar isn’t here, we can teach that bi tch a lesson!”

Mia couldn’t wait to take action and teach Grace a lesson.

Suddenly, her phone rang. She and Yvonne looked at each other and immediately picked up the phone.

“Hello, Mia. Long time no see! How are you and auntie? A woman’s hearty laughter came from the other end of the phone.

“You’re… Jade?” Mia was surprised. “You’re back?”

She immediately handed the phone to Yvonne and gave her a meaningful look.

Jade Evans was from a branch of the Fallen family and the heir of the Evans family. She had been studying abroad and had great business acumen.

Yvonne immediately understood what Mia meant and greeted Jade.

“When did you come back, Jade? Are you coming back to Frant City now?”

“Auntie, I’ll be in Frant City in the afternoon. I’ll visit you when I have time. I miss you so much after not seeing you for so long.”

“How about this? I’ll bring Mia to pick you up, and it can be regarded as a welcome dinner for you. Do you have any other arrangements? If not, you can stay in the Fallen family’s place for a few days,”

Yvonne said in one breath.

“Well… I don’t for the time being. Let’s do as you say.” Jade agreed without hesitation.

Yvonne hung up the phone, and the sad expression that had been on her face disappeared.

Mia heard it clearly from the side, and she became complacent as well.

“Mom, that’s great. Jade is back. If she’s willing to help us, I don’t believe that the little bitc h orphan Grace Salen can defeat us! It’s impossible for Patric to protect her every time!”

Yvonne didn’t say anything, but the expression on her face betrayed her inner thoughts.
