Grace’s parents’ faces changed.
Grace’s father was going to lose his temper. Grace’s mother still comforted her, “Grace, in fact, we just want to give you a solid backing.”
“Solid backing?” Grace laughed. “Augus is over fifty. How old am I now? When I get old, he’s in the mud. Let alone he has a wife and children. His son is older than me.”
“So what? He has a lot of assets, and if you have his baby, we’re more and more likely to get Alex Group.”
Grace looked at her father’s red eyes and was inexplicably afraid.
“You just want Alex Group and don’t want me, do you?” Grace asked.
Her mother knew she was desperate and said, “Grace, don’t think that. Your father and I want to be nice to you. Now listen to me and your dad and stay with Augus. I think Augus likes you and may divorce his current wife. Anyway, his current wife is not his first wife, right?”
“Mom, do you really want someone older than you to be your son-in-law?”
Grace’s question stunned her mother, but she said, “it’s normal for a man to be older than his wife in this society. Grace, you really won’t lose. Trust your mother once.”
Grace looked at them and was desperate. They were her family, but they did that to her. She ended up desperate and not afraid. She said, “I agree, but I have a request.”
“What do you want?” Her father was very impatient.
“If I do get into the Alex Family and get something, they belong to me and have nothing to do with you.”
“You are ungrateful. I raised you for so many years. Now you’re going to marry to the rich, but you’re talking to me like this.” Her father was very angry.
But her mother was a peacemaker. She whispered to Grace’s father, “we have to appease her now. She is obedient. We have to promise her now. In the future, we can say that Sue Group has difficulties. Are you afraid your daughter won’t help you?”
Grace’s father thought it made sense, so he nodded.
In fact, Grace had fully heard her parents’ conversation. Did they think she would help? She could try it.
“Grace, aren’t you happy?” Grace doesn’t speak for a long time. Augus asks her.
Grace shakes her head. “No, I’m just thinking about what to do if they bully me later.” She pouts and Augus is obsessed with her.
August still holds Grace and says, “no one dares to bully my Grace.”
“Uncle Augus, it’s very kind of you.” Grace also holds Augus and places her head on his chest. She looks ferocious, but her body is gentle.
Augus now holds a beauty and thinks it’s worth it.
“President...”
