Her knuckles turned white as she held the bedsheet too tightly.

She was afraid that he would give an affirmative answer, but she still held out a little hope in her heart.

But this time, Chad did not say anything. He let go of her hand coldly and pushed the door open without looking back.

utside the door, Emma and Grace were chatting on the sofa. When they saw Chad coming out, they

were shocked.

“What’s wrong, Mr. Smith?” she asked..

Chad ignored her and looked directly at Grace. “You clearly know that she’s pretending to he sick.”

Was he… really angry?

It was the first time that Grace had seen Chad treat her like this.

She blinked guiltily. “I…”

Chad didn’t want to give her a chance to explain, so he strode downstairs and left.

Just as Grace was about to chase after him, she was pulled by Emma to check on Hedda in the room.

Hedda’s eyes were very red, as if she had just cried. And she was also in a bad mood.

Emma threw herself at Hedda and said with a pained expression, “My dear daughter, I’ve tried to persuade you. Chad is too cold. He wouldn’t like you. But you had to give it a try, and now you’re

hurt!”

Hedda bit the corner of her lips and didn’t speak.

Knowing that Hedda had always been stubborn and that she could not persuade her once she had made up her mind, Emma turned her head to beg Grace.

“Grace, for the sake of our relationship, please help Hedda. Since you were able to ask Mr. Smith to come to Frant City, you must have a way to make him stay here.”

Grace shook her head and said with a serious expression, “It’s useless. He’s a man of principle. If he doesn’t like Hedda, no one can persuade him.”

Perhaps these words were a little too cruel for Hedda, but Grace had no choice but to say it bluntly.

It was better to have short-term pain than long-term agony. Hedda could only rely on herself to figure it out as soon as possible.

Emma sighed in disappointment.

Seeing this sad scene, Grace couldn’t do anything to help. She turned around and was about to leave.

“Grace””

Hedda stopped her and asked uncertainly, “Are you going to be my enemy?”

Emma was so scared that she trembled. Nancy’s fate was still vivid in her mind. She didn’t dare to

move…

Grace stood there quietly for a few seconds.

Without explaining or looking back, she left the Mellis family’s villa.

After coming out of the villa, she saw Patric in his car by the side of the road waiting for her.

She went straight over, opened the door, and sat in the back seat.

Seeing her serious face, Patric gently rubbed her head.

“What’s wrong? Who offended my little princess?”

Grace was sad. “I offended Chad.”

Patric laughed out loud. “Silly girl, you didn’t do anything wrong. Chad has been devoted to medical research all these years and hasn’t been in contact with a woman. Dad scolded him many times. It seems that he listens to you the most.”

“But he’s angry…”

Patric shook his head. “You don’t know him. He looks cold, but in fact, he’s shy. Anyway, you don’t have to worry about it. If he’s really fated to be with Hedda, they’ll be together in the end.”

Grace breathed a sigh of relief.

Patric seemed to have thought of something, and his expression gradually became serious.

“Grace, there’s something that I think I should tell you…”

Seeing that he was serious, Grace couldn’t help becoming serious too.

“It’s about… your ex-husband.”

Edgar?

Wasn’t he missing? She sent the Dark Bell to investigate, but they couldn’t find him. She only knew that he suddenly disappeared the day before Nancy held the press conference.

Grace asked suspiciously, “Have you found him?”

Patric nodded.

“Chris found that he’s in the mountains of Frant City and Wind City.”

Chris was well-informed, and his information network was indeed better than the Dark Bell’s. It was not surprising that he could find him.

However…

“What’s he doing there?”

Patric didn’t say anything, as if there was something embarrassing that he couldn’t bring himself to

say.

Grace put together all the clues of that period.

After thinking about it carefully, she shook her head with a smile.

“Does he think I’m dead and wanted to go there to get my body? Even if I died, he wouldn’t let go of my body?”

Patric choked and had to change the topic. “He was trapped in the mountains this time, so he didn’t come back for a long time. But it won’t be long before he returns to Frant City, maybe a week at

most.”

Grace froze for a moment.

A week was indeed a little short. If Jade hadn’t acted fast enough and Edgar had been able to come back in time to preside over the situation, it would have been difficult for her to make the Fallen Group go bankrupt.

Patric could tell that she was anxious.

“Then what are you going to do next?”

Grace looked up at him and smiled. “Very well. I’ll give him a big ‘surprise’ the day he comes back!”

Patric looked at her burning eyes and lowered his head guiltily.

In fact, there were two more things that he had hidden from her…

It was Chris who had sent someone to trap Edgar. Chris hadn’t liked that ba stard for a long time, so it was a good opportunity to teach him a lesson secretly.

Edgar came to him with no bad intentions but he did so in order to save her.

If Grace looked into it carefully, she would find that Tim’s kidnapping of the plane had nothing to do with Edgar.

She just didn’t want to get to the bottom of it. She would rather believe that Edgar had betrayed her.

Patric opened his mouth and wanted to say something but stopped on second thought.

In the end, he didn’t say anything.

Even if Edgar was in the right about this matter, Grace had suffered a lot because of him in the past three years.

It was time for him to pay for what he had done to her!

Knowing that Edgar was coming soon, Grace was in high spirits. The next day, she arranged for Belinda to pretend to be a major shareholder of Beazer Real Estate.

She had bought the land in the western suburbs of the city, and the follow-up development plan would be discussed with the HYB Group.

“Tonight, take the Fallen family’s spy to the party with the HYB Group. Remember to give him a chance to get the plan.”

On the other end of the phone, Belinda was very surprised. “Boss, if he tells Jade about our plan, she will definitely stop us from cooperating with HYB.”

Grace pursed her lips and smiled. “Let’s see whether they have the ability or not.”

“What?”

Belinda couldn’t understand what Grace wanted to do, so she could only listen to her obediently. That night, Jade came to the Fallen family’s place in high spirits and asked Yvonne for credit. “Auntie, I’ve got the cooperation plans of Beazer Real Estate and the HYB Group.”

Yvonne was pleasantly surprised. “Really?”

She hurriedly took the proposal from Jade and read it carefully. “That’s great! With this proposal, things will be much easier.”

Standing next to Yvonne, Jade suggested, “Now that we know the price that Beazer Real Estate offered to the HYB Group, we just need to double the offer, and their cooperation will be messed up.

“Beazer Real Estate is a small company with insufficient funds. When they make the advance payment, we’ll intercept their cooperation. They don’t have money and can’t get a better building material company to cooperate with. They can only wait for death and obediently hand over the land in the western suburbs.”

Hearing this, Yvonne grinned from ear to ear. “Very good. Then I’ll leave everything to you. No matter how much it costs, the Fallen Group can afford it!”

Jade nodded.

Yvonne patted her on the shoulder and looked at her seriously. “Jade, you are my most trusted child.

Don’t let me down!”
