"Are you threatening me?" Grace looked at them indifferently without avoiding eye contact. She said clearly, "I can't help you with your problems."
"You are such a b*tch," Tobias scolded angrily as soon as he heard that Grace did not want to help them. "You are just a girl who got pregnant before getting married. Shame on you."
Grace froze and squinted her eyes as she said coldly, "Why do you care so much, old man? I respected you because you are an elder, but all you've only done is humiliate me. By not saying anything, it does not mean that I deserve to be treated this way."
"You, you, how dare you scold me?" Tobias pointed at Grace. He raised his hand and wanted to hit Grace.
Grace stepped back and walked to the door. Then, she glared at them, "You asked for this. Even if I am ashamed of being pregnant before marriage, what does it have to do with you?"
"I've never gone knocking on your door but you came to me on your own to throw shame on me. Don't you know that you are the ones being shameless?"
"Perhaps, both of you are the direct cause of whatever that happens to Simon."
"As elders, you are being too disrespectful and rude. You don't even know what's truly going on and you've lost your morality, yet you still want to insult
others?"
"Please leave as soon as possible. You might not be able to handle my harsh words if you stay any longer."
Grace did not want to say anything else thus she turned around and left.
There was no need for her to care about such ignorant people.
As for her past with Simon, she had nothing to do with him ever since he used her many years ago.
Whenever Grace recalled her newborn son being taken away from her for many years, her heart would hurt like it was shattered into pieces.
She could not be any more tolerant than this.
Tobias chased after Grace due to anger. He was not satisfied with her attitude as she had insulted him.
Before Grace could return to her workplace, Tobias grabbed her wrist and dragged her back.
She furrowed her brows as she tried to yank her wrist away from him.
Tobias was too strong, thus she couldn't escape from his strong grip.
Her wrist hurt but Tobias held on to it tightly.
Tobias did not care even though many people in the office were watching. He said, "Grace, you are so heartless. You did terrible things to my son and I want everyone to know about it! I'm going to expose you!"
Grace felt as if she was about to suffocate to death by Simon's father.
Even if he wanted to expose her, she was not afraid of it.
She had never thought about harming anyone else. She would always act in self-defense only.
She always felt that if she did not fight back, she would be a weakling under other's control.
Everyone in the office was shocked by Tobias' words. They looked at him in shock.
Everyone knew Grace's personality clearly. Grace and Hermione even became good friends. Because of Grace, Heinz funded Entertainment Daily. The environment improved drastically compared to before.
Everyone was very grateful to Grace. They stood up and gathered around Tobias as soon as they heard his words.
"Sir, speak if you want to, but your grip is hurting her," Chuck stepped forward and grabbed Tobias' hand.
"Let go of me." Tobias shouted, "I am grabbing her to prevent her from escaping!"
Tobias was angry at Grace's attitude because she was being disrespectful. He tightened his grip in anger in an attempt to hurt Grace.
Chuck saw Tobias tighten his grip and Grace's slender arm was clenched tightly by him.
