"Together, we went to the Armstrong family. Grace seemed completely unaware of what was going on, as Horace had asked me before he left in the morning to take you to the Armstrong family to see. Everyone at the Armstrong family now, except us, is out to devour everything at the Armstrong family. If it were just Grace alone, she would probably end up being devoured by them in the end."
Grace is simple and has no cunning or scheming. She is no match for these wolves and tigers. Not being a match would mean becoming a prey in front of others.
Since Brody was able to pull off such a thing with Page's cousin, he had obviously anticipated all the consequences.
Especially since Regina's plane was leaving Hance City in the afternoon, does that mean it was also Brody's decision to let go?
Camille and Ayan drove to the Armstrong family. Before they arrived, Regina received a call from an unknown number.
In the call, a harsh voice of a man said to her, "Your child is in my hands. If you want your child to be safe, give me five million dollars immediately, or I can't guarantee what I might do."
Upon hearing this, Regina immediately lost control of her emotions and exclaimed, "Who are you? What are you going to do?"
Regina didn't believe it, but she also couldn't afford not to believe it.
Clutching Grace beside her, she covered the phone receiver and said to Grace, "Quickly call Vere."
Grace was stunned but immediately did as she was told.
But when the call went through, there was no answer, and Grace shook her head helplessly.
Regina froze, her face completely pale and bloodless. She heard the ringtone from Vere's phone, a melody she had deliberately modified because it was her piano piece.
Trembling, she asked, "Who are you? What do you want? Please don't harm my child, I beg you."
Regina's pleading voice made Grace's expression very indifferent, showing no signs of concern in her eyes.
She watched Regina cry and beg the other party not to harm Vere, secretly envious that Vere was someone she cared about. Were all the others just pawns to her?
Grace narrowed her eyes, and the coldness in them was obvious. It's not that she had no heart; she just placed her heart in those she cared about. The others were just tools for her to use.
Regina pleaded with the other party for a long time, but their attitude remained firm: five million or nothing.
The call was cut off abruptly, leaving Regina anxiously standing there.
She looked at Grace, her eyes red from crying, and asked, "Grace, can you help Auntie with something?"
Grace looked at Regina indifferently and asked, "Auntie, what's going on?"
