The Millionaire And His Billionaire Ex-Wife

Chapter 117

Chapter 117 Grace remained silent for a while before continuing with her instructions: “You keep an eye on him. Also, Bernard, stay here and guard the villa. Don’t let him leave for the next few days. Clean the house thoroughly and do what is expected of him.” “Understood,” Bernard replied. Bernard opened the door and got out of the car, watching as the two vehicles drove towards Patric’s villa. The next morning, Patric spotted her in the dining room, eating breakfast prepared by Auntie Rosa; he had just learned of her return to the villa. He had intended to go over and tease her a little, but he suddenly noticed something strange. She was using her left hand to hold the spoon while her right hand naturally hung by her side without resting on the table. Patric walked around and sat on the chair next to her before noticing the bandage wrapped around her right hand. “Girl, what happened to your hand?” Patric asked with concern. Grace casually continued drinking her porridge and replied, “Nothing much; a dog bit me.” Patric felt distressed: “Which daring dog dares to bite my precious little sister? I’ll take care of it for you: Third Brother will teach it a lesson!” “It’s just a useless big wolf dog. I will deal with it myself.” Patric wanted to ask further, but Grace had already put down the spoon and finished her breakfast. “Third Brother, I’m going to the Fallen residence first, and in the afternoon, I’ll be going to Angle. I won’t disturb your meal.” “Alright, take care and stay safe.” After Grace left, Patric called Bart into the room. He sat on the chair, his face cold and stern, and scanned Bart. “What’s the truth behind Miss’s hand injury?”

Bart lowered his head, trembling as he said, “It’s exactly as Miss said… she was bitten by… a dog.” “Bart, you know the consequences of deceiving me. She was living fine at the Bay Villa, so where did this dog come from? It must be that dog. Edgar!” Patric exclaimed in anger. “If you already guessed it, why ask….” Bart felt wronged by being scolded.

It was originally just a guess, but now that it was confirmed, Patric was furious. “That scoundrel! Last time, I let him go unpunished as a favor to my brother, but now he dares to harm my sister. I’ll make him pay with his life!” He took out his phone to make a call, but Bart quickly intervened. “Young Master, please don’t be impulsive. Miss always has her own plans, and keeping Edgar around must be part of her strategy. It’s best not to disrupt her plans.” Patric narrowed his eyes and pondered for a moment. “His life can be spared for now, but he must suffer greatly for hurting the girl!” As he spoke, he called Bart closer and whispered a few instructions to him in a low voice. “Remember everything?” 13:27 The Millionai “Yes, Young Master!” During the past two days, Grace has been shuttling between Angle and the Fallen residence. It was the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the recording for the talent show was suspended for a day, giving the girls a day off. She was also planning to return to Patric’s villa early and have a good meal with Third Brother. As she was tidying up her desk, her assistant, Beth, knocked on the door in a panic. “Director, something bad happened! The person in charge of the talent show said Abigail has gone. missing again!” Grace’s expression became extremely grave. Who could it be this time? Jade? She quickly drove with Beth to the talent show base and checked all the surveillance footage. However, this time the situation was different from before. Abigail had never left the base, so she should still be

there instead of being kidnapped. The staff at the base searched every corner but couldn’t find her. It was as if she had suddenly vanished into thin air. For a while, both the staff and the participating girls at the base were filled with anxiety. Grace never believed in supernatural theories. Unless… Someone was playing tricks. She called each of the girls who did office for questioning. go home for the Mid-Autumn Festival individually into her “I don’t know. I’m not in the same dorm as her, so I haven’t seen her at all” “She doesn’t usually talk to us. She seems to have a better relationship with the other girls in her dorm. Maybe you should ask them. I don’t know anything.” After questioning everyone, it became clear that each person wore a mask and told lies. There was no result. Grace had no choice but to find May Miller, who had been eliminated in the previous season. May said, “My votes were too low, and I’ve already been eliminated. How would I know? But Jade didn’t come to see me. It doesn’t seem like something she would do. However, I know that Anna had a bad relationship with her. She would often secretly bully her when the cameras weren’t around. Maybe you can start from that angle.” Anna? Grace narrowed her eyes. “Okay.” She immediately had the person in charge investigate Annai’s record of leaving the base. They found that she had left early this morning, and half an hour after she left, news of Abigail’s disappearance came from the base. Could this be a case of bullying? Grace swiftly arranged for an excuse to bring Anna back to the base. As Anna entered the base, she was forcefully taken to the conference room. Grace sat in the main seat of the conference room, emanating a chilling aura as she stared at Anna, startling her.

“Who do you think you are? How dare you restrict my personal freedom and bring me here!” Anna exclaimed. Grace smirked and said, “I am the talent show’s director and planner at Angle.” After hearing her words, Anna scoffed, “Do you know who I am? Hanna Willow, the wealthy daughter at the base, is protecting me! If you dare to treat me like this, believe me, with just one phone call, I can make you immediately get out of Angle!” “Do you want to try? Your phone call can’t get me fired from Angle, but my phone call can get you. immediately disqualified from the competition.” Anna fell silent. She had worked so hard to make it to this stage, and with her ranking, she had a chance to debut. She couldn’t afford to be disqualified at this critical moment. Fearful of losing everything, she didn’t dare gamble with Grace. Seeing her wavering. Grace began to ask, “Where is Abigail?TM “I… I locked her in the small, secluded restroom on the east side.” When they found Abigail, she was drenched and curled up on the floor, trembling. Her voice had become h oar se from shouting for help. Grace was furious, but first she had the staff take Abigail to the base’s medical room for treatment, and then she made Anna apologize to her. When Abigail slowly regained consciousness, the first thing she saw was the sight of Anna gnashing her teeth and kneeling beside her bed. “I’m sorry! I shouldn’t have played tricks on you!” Hearing Anna’s restless tone, Abigail turned her face away, ignoring her completely. Grace glanced at Anna on the floor, smiled insincerely, and said, “It seems your apology isn’t sincere enough. She doesn’t forgive you.” Anna panicked and immediately teared up. Her eyes turned red as she pleaded, “Abigail, I truly realize my mistake. I just wanted to play a prank on you; I didn’t mean to actually hurt you. It wasn’t intentional. Please forgive me. I’ve made it through the preliminary rounds; I don’t want to be disqualified!”

Upon hearing her last words, Abigail’s eyes dimmed, and she sighed, “Forget it, I forgive you. Now leave.” Anna was overjoyed and looked at Grace, who had a cold and proud expression. “You heard her; she said she wouldn’t hold it against me anymore!” Grace nodded and turned to instruct the person in charge to process her disqualification. Anna was bewildered. “Why? You promised that if I apologized to her, you would let me off!” “She forgave you, but you caused her to lose her voice. We don’t know if it will affect next week’s competition. That’s why I won’t forgive you!” Grace said firmly. “Why? Anna protested. “Just because not all apologies deserve forgiveness! And because I have the final say here!”© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
