In the Lap of Luxury novel (Grace and Benjamin) novel Chapter 414

Richard's skin was loose, and his hair had turned white. He seemed to have aged several years since Grace had last seen him.

He was so focused on his work that he didn't notice Grace behind him.

It was only when Grace stood in front of him that he said courteously, "Do you need your car washed, miss?"

Upon not getting an answer, Richard looked up. When he saw who was in front of him, his kind expression immediately changed. He looked furious.

"It's you!"

The bucket in his hand fell to the ground, sending water splashing out onto the floor.

Gace smiled, but it didn't reach her eyes. "Mr. Quine Senior, it's been a while."

Richard clenched his teeth furiously at the sight of Grace.

He glared at Grace and said very unpleasantly, "What are you doing here?"

"Mr. Quine Senior, shall we talk for a while?"

Richard huffed coldly and said nastily, "I don't have anything to say to you. If you're here to ridicule me, then look at me all you want. Just don't interrupt my work."

He was no longer the arrogant person he had once been. It was as if the past few months had softened his rough edges.

But Grace knew that it was all superficial. She could clearly feel the defiance in Richard's eyes.

He didn't look like he had accepted his current situation at all.

"Mr. Quine Senior, it won't take long. If you don't want to, then I can speak to your boss."

When Richard heard that, he said bitterly, "What do you want, Grace? It's your fault that I'm reduced to this. Aren't you satisfied? Will you only be happy when you've completely gotten rid of me?

"Tell me, where did you send Yvonne? She's the only one on this earth who can carry on the Quine family's bloodline. You're trying to erase my family's bloodline!"
