Chapter 96 He Values Her More Now

Smiling, Grace said, “Yep, that’s me.”

“How can they badmouth you? Let me go down and talk to them!” Robin was clearly the most hot–headed among the three.

“I’ll go with you!”

“Me too!”

“There’s no need. The truth will come out on its own.” Amused by their protectiveness, Grace smiled. “I’m fine as long as the people I care about don’t see me that way.”

After that, she asked the children various questions, such as what they needed for their enrolment and so on.

She assured them that she had already transferred living expenses to their bank accounts, so they should take good care of themselves.

She also reminded them not to reveal her identity as Calico and then arranged for security to send them out through the underground parking.

Once the three kids were safely sent away, she received a call from Timothy.

He had been on business trips frequently lately, all arranged by Grace. Since he had felt guilty, he had willingly followed her orders.

On the phone, he first cursed the media for their unethical slander, then consoled Grace. Finally, he expressed his desire to return home.

Smiling, Grace cleared her throat and agreed.

She asked him to go back to Darai after finishing his work in Mardovia to attend her grandfather’s birthday celebration in a few days.

Happily, Timothy hung up the phone.

Just then, Aaron walked in to her office.

Seeing his sister smile, he was relieved. “There’s a bit of an issue with the board of directors. I wanted to stay with you for two more days, but I have to leave today.

“I’ll go back with Victor, so Caleb can keep you company.”

Grace pursed her l*ps and rested her chin on the desk. “Caleb is too rowdy.”

“Then, you won’t get bored with him around.”

“Alright. Good luck, you two.”

Grace suspected that the drop in the share prices required Aaron’s attention, so she didn’t dare keep him back.

Meanwhile, Luke was worried that Grace might not be in the mood to go out for lunch. So, he had a Michelin chef come with ingredients to cook at Amirate at noon.

Seeing that she had a good appetite, he felt relieved.

Before Aaron left, he had instructed Luke to pay attention to Grace’s mood and make her happy.

During the video conference with Barnes Group, that afternoon, Albert confirmed with Grace that the joint venture project wasn’t significantly affected.

After discussing the upcoming arrangements, she decided to call it a day.

Security was tight, with guards forming a human barrier to block access. There were also guards at all entrances and exits, preventing a repeat of that m

Luke had parked a red Porsche in the center, with four security company vehicles in front and behind, escorting him.

Grace elegnatly entered the car and left.

This left the reporters behind them looking bewildered.

“What is happening? Mr. Lewis is supposed to hate her and kick her out of Amirate, and then we take some pity photos and mock her, right?”

“Why does it feel like he values her more now?”

“She’s really crafty.”

“So are we staying or leaving?”

“We haven’t seen Calico yet!”

“Let’s wait for those three kids, then.” This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

Lewis Manor was close to some private mountains, which were now fully guarded by security personnel. Not even a fly could get in.

As soon as Grace entered the house, Caleb took her sl*ppers and helped her put them on.

It was hard to imagine that the superstar idolized by fans would bend down to help his sister wear her sl*ppers.

From his expression, Grace could guess that Aaron had warned him on the phone. “You’re being overly thoughtful today, Caleb.”

It’s all because of Aaron. He reminded me so many times on the phone just now. How could I

After they had dinner, Grace lay on the couch and stared into thin air.

“Caleb, I’m so bored!”

“We can’t go out now, so let’s do something else.”

Grace sat up with a glint in her eyes. “Let’s play a game!”

“That’s a good idea!”

The two of them headed to the house’s gaming room.

Inside, there were top–of–the–line gaming computers. Grace and Caleb started playing a tower defense game.

The

game was called “Legends of Triumph” and had nearly 800 million registered users. worldwide.

After playing only two rounds, they were thoroughly defeated by the opposing team.

Grace, feeling defeated, slumped in her gaming chair. “Caleb, we’re terrible. We need some help.”

“Okay, I’ll arrange for some assistance right away.”
