Regina's face immediately darkened after hearing Grace's words. She frowned and looked at Grace, saying, "Please don't call the police. If you do, those people will definitely harm Vere. Grace, you must promise me that you will rescue Vere from their hands. Money can be earned again, but you only have one brother. You two are siblings, and you must take care of him!"
Regina had no reservations when it came to Vere. After all, he was her own child, so she naturally felt deeply concerned. She didn't even consider whether her words would breed more resentment in Grace's heart.
However, Grace didn't try to interrupt or stop her. She thought, let her say whatever she wants. Whether she would actually follow through with it was Grace's business.
After Regina finished speaking, Grace calmly responded, "Auntie, I also want to do as you say, but as I mentioned before, I don't have any money. I need to seek help from Camille and Ayan. However, you know Camille's personality. Our parents weren't kind to her in the first place, and with this situation now, she definitely needs a solution. She doesn't want this incident to affect the Simpson Group, herself, Ayan, or the Simpson family. So, Auntie, you're the only one who can save Vere."
Grace also reminded Regina that several hours had already passed since Vere was abducted. If they continued like this, no one knew what unforeseen accidents could occur. She urged Regina to carefully consider and make a clear decision.
After their lengthy conversation, the silent female police officer sitting on the side spoke up and reminded, "Miss Armstrong, time is almost up. We need to document everything on our end. Do you have anything else you would like to say?"
This was a reminder to Regina that Grace was preparing to leave, leaving Regina alone.
Grace glanced lightly at Regina. She wouldn't press Regina further but simply said, "Auntie, I'll leave now. If there's anything, I'll find a way to let you know as soon as possible."
After saying that, Grace got up and began to leave. Her actions clearly indicated her intention to depart.
Regina, witnessing this, felt her heart in disarray. She stiffened her face, turning pale to an extreme. Seeing Grace about to reach the door, Regina quickly stood up and grabbed Grace's arm, saying, "I have something to say."
Grace wasn't surprised at all. She looked at Regina calmly, as if she had long anticipated Regina's reaction.
Regina remained silent for a moment before speaking slowly, as if she had made up her mind, saying the words that Grace wanted to hear.
Grace stared at her expressionlessly, and fearing that Grace wouldn't believe her, Regina hurriedly said, "Grace, everything I've said is true. I swear on my life, if a single word is false, I won't have a good death."
"It's meaningless to say that. I can tell whether it's true or false," Grace responded, no longer calling her auntie. She gave Regina a cold glance and said, "I still need to meet my father, so I'll leave first."
