He asked the bodyguard beside him, “Is that the daughter of the Smith family who is engaged to Eder?” The bodyguard studied the person he was pertaining to. “It seems like it, sir.” “Slie’s beautiful but she doesn’t seem to be in a good mood. Find out what she came here for “Yes, sir.” The bodyguard left silently. Ten minutes later, he returned and reported, “She seems to have come to call off the engagement today, but Mr. Grant did not agree.” “Call off their engagement?” Xian thoughtfully analyzed, “Eder asked for this marriage himself, meaning that he might be interested in her.” The bodyguard: “But I heard that Mr. Storm didn’t even accompany her during their supposed banquet.

The sound was so loud that everyone noticed, including her. She put down her work and stood up, intending to check what that was, However, the door to the office was suddenly pushed open.

She peeked outside the door and saw Tolve and Aro limping with bitter expressions. eyes “How dare you beat up my people right in my own property?! Grace exclaimed, glaring angrily. Eric bowed his head and apologized sincerely, “Tim sorry, Ms. Grace. It was just that I sent a few people to look for you but they were all blocked. I had to come in person and use brute force to break in, but please don’t worry, the blood on my body is not theirs. They were only slightly injured.” She had hustructed her people to keep Eder’s own people out, but seeing as Eric seemed desperate, she guessed that something must be up. Grace asked in a lower voice, “What’s wrong? What happened?”

Eric’s eyes reddened instantly. He choked out, “Something happened to Boss! He’s being sent to the hospital, but he won’t enter the emergency room.
