Dennis walks over and pulls Grace's ears, "You want me to beat you up?"
"Beat me to death if you dare," retorts Grace. She doesn't want to have to quietly do all those pointless stuff anymore anyway.
"You…" Dennis is so furious he can't say a word.
"I don't want to live anymore, I'm better off dead if I have to be with that old man every day!" Grace yells on the top of her lungs at Dennis.
Seeing his daughter so out of control, he decides to ignore her and says, "Do whatever you want."
Grace's mother squats down and comforts her, she then says, "Why do you choose to make your father angry? Go back to Augus's side now."
Nobody ever listens to her, she is losing hope, nobody around her is ever sincerely nice to her. What can she do?
Alex also hates her, he will never fall in love with her for as long as he lives. Why must she keep on living in this case? Tears roll off her cheeks as she ponders about herself.
Grace goes up to the balcony when nobody's looking. Alex will never love her and her parents just use her. With that thought in mind, she opens her arm and jumps.
This is probably where she belongs.
And now she's finally free.
Augus makes a few calls and goes back to the event, he then realizes that Grace is nowhere to be found and she is not picking up his calls, he is slightly worried.
Suddenly, he receives a notification about a money transfer. Richard has told somebody to make him an instant transfer.
Richard is so efficient when it comes to handling affairs, Augus feels a bit unhappy about it. But with this, his company's crisis can be solved momentarily.
He is about to leave when all of a sudden Alex blocks his way, Alex says coldly, "Where did you hide Miya?"
"Sorry, I don't understand what you are saying," Augus puts on an innocent act.
"Let me ask you this one more time, where did you hide her?" Alex's eyes flash killing intent, he might really strangle the man before him to death if he isn't his biological father.
Augus continues putting on an act, he says indifferently, "Stop spouting nonsense, you are not going to get the answers you want even if you kill me."
"Tell me your conditions," Alex can only bargain his way out, he is willing to sacrifice everything to save Miya.
"I was going to discuss it with you before this, but now it is too late," Augus sounds arrogant.
Alex clenches his first, he tries to suppress his anger, "Tell me, what do you mean?"
"I mean what I said, now that your sister is successful, I have no need to rely on you anymore, just concentrate on managing that failing company of yours," Augus puts on airs and leaves cockily after saying that to Alex.
Alex is halted by some bodyguards as he is about to go up and stop Augus. Randy notices the situation and tries to bring some people over.
Richard then walks over and he blocks everybody's way, he is obviously trying to ensure that Augus is able to leave the venue.
