The Millionaire And His Billionaire Ex-Wife

Chapter 272

He was wearing heavy handcuffs and shackles, taking every step very slowly.

There were blue and purple bruises on his forearm and neck exposed from his sleeves. His skin was rough, and he had an unshaven beard.

Aside from those azure blue charming eyes that were still unique, Grace almost couldn’t recognize him anymore.

Nick Knight looked at her through the glass and picked up the phone.

She followed his movements and put the phone to her car.

“Grace, long time no see. You seem surprised that you’re not able to recognize me so soon?”

Grace was expressionless, and her voice was particularly cold, “I didn’t come here to listen to you reminiscing about the old days. If you don’t say anything, I’ll leave.”

Nick raised his lips playfully and clicked his tongue, “You’re really ruthless, only focused on your little pet.”

Seeing that Grace was about to put down the phone, Nick quickly said, “Okay, I’ll get down to business!”

His eyes narrowed, and the corner of his mouth smiled wickedly and strangely. His voice was hoarse: “Grace, although I’m trapped here, I know better than anyone that your current fiance, Eder Storm Grant, is the one you used to be with in Frant city. Your ex–husband, your little pet, isn’t that right?”

Grace was stunned for a moment and sneered without changing her face. “who told you that? Even I didn’t know about it.”

“There’s no need to hide Grace, it’s just inconceivable that he has the nerve to get engaged to you with such a serious illness.

Grace instantly became serious and slammed on the table, “What do you know? What serious illness does he have?”

Nick smiled strangely, “I know everything about him, and apart from me, I don’t think many people know about these things.”

“In exchange for these secrets, what are your terms?” Grace quickly calmed down and her mind was clear.

Nick applauded, “Grace, still so smart and lovable. It really doesn’t take much effort to talk to you.”

The disgust in Grace’s eyes was not hidden at all, “I don’t want to listen to this nonsense, just say it!”

Nick smiled wickedly, his blue eyes were deep and still, and with the corner of his mouth close to the microphong, he said in

low voice.

“Get Chris to release me on bail, cancel the engagement with Eder, and marry me.”

Grace frowned.

“It’s no problem for me to ask my brother to release you on ball, that’s the only one I can do, don’t even think about the rest.”

Nick’s phoenix eyes lowered, a little luuri, “It seems that you really cares about him? Don’t worry, just need shelter. After my accident, the entire Knight family was held in Adam Knight’s hands. He wanted to give up my younger brother to gain power and fame. I need the Smith family’s protection in order to make a comeback.

Grace was unmoved, her face was ice cold, “You think that my engagement with Eder is that simple? I can’t make that decision.”

“Oh Grace, stop joking with me. You are the darling of the Smith family. Breaking off the

engagement is nothing more than losing a little money. As long as you really want to leave, I believe Chris will be willing to do it for you.”

Grace’s red lips pursed, and she did not speak.

Nick continued. “Besides, aren’t you curious about his secrets? I guarantee that you will want to hear it. Bail me out, break off your engagement, and marry me. These are my three conditions, they are indispensable.”

Grace lowered her head and was silent for a long time.

Her palms were clenched so tightly, that her blue blood vessels were clearly visible under her thin, fair skin.

“How’s it going? Have you thought about it?”

“Think about it?”

She raised her eyes and looked at Nick again, her starry eyes were firm, “I, Grace Smith, hate being restrained! It’s impossible for me to break off my engagement and marry you!”

In Frant city, Nick had hurt Eder. If Eder knew that she was breaking off the engagement, he would be very sad, right?

He had paid too much for her, she didn’t want to let him down, and she didn’t want him to misunderstand her. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.

The smile on Nick’s face disappeared.

He was stunned for a while, as if he did not expect Grace to refuse so decisively.

“It seems that you and I can’t agree, Goodbye!”

Grace put down the phone and left without looking back.

Nick’s eyes were full of shock, and his emotions gradually went crazy.

He stood up abruptly, knocking on the soundproof glass with both hands, making the metal handcuffs rattle.

“Grace! Come back! Don’t you want to know about his condition? He won’t live long! He will die. Is it worth it for you to be with a short–lived ghost! I’m the most suitable man to marry you!

The prison guards quickly dispatched and subdued the crazy prisoner.

Nick’s head was pinned to the ground, and he suddenly burst into laughter, “Grace! sooner or later you will come back to find me! You can only be mine in this life!”

In the visiting room, the man’s strange and frantic laughter echoed until the prison guard struck him with an electric baton in the waist. The strong current made him convulse all over and finally, he passed out completely.

The sound insulation of the glass was very good. Grace did not hear his roar and did not look back.

She sighed softly. Another way to find out about Eder’s physical condition was broken.

Perhaps, she could only try one last solution!

the afternoon, the Grant Group.

Today, there was a monthly board meeting. Eder had already held the meeting for half an hour in the conference room.

Eric was instructed to pick up an important document. Just as he was about to return to the conference room, he was stopped by a slender figure in the corridor.

When he saw that it was Grace, his heart thumped. “Miss Smith, what’s the matter? Eh… If you’re looking for Mr. Storm, you might have to wait longer. He is still in a meeting, so if you’ll excuse me.”

He lowered his head and bowed a few times in a row. He was going to bypass her from the right. Grace was wearing high heels, and her slender legs took a decisive step to the right, blocking him again.

“Eric, this is the last time I’ll come to you on this matter. If you still don’t want to reveal a word, I won’t interfere with your work again.”

“I really don’t know anything, just let me go!”

Eric lowered his head and turned to leave, interrupting his detour to the conference room.

Grace looked at his hunched back and said coldly, “I went to see Nick Knight today. He said he knew about Eder’s conditions and will only tell me under certain terms. He would tell me if I agreed to marry him.”

Eric’s footsteps stopped short, but he did not look back.

Seeing his reaction, she continued: “Eric, many misunderstandings between Eder and I were solved by you, you watched how he and I got to this point step by step. If you don’t tell me, I can only agree to Nick’s conditions, is that what you want?”

Eric struggled inwardly and held on to the information tightly. “Mr. Storm had ordered. This is a disciplinary matter of the organization, I don’t dare…”

“Don’t worry, I’ll help you. I won’t let him know that you said it.”

Grace stepped forward and said softly, “He’s ill, and it’s too hard for him to suffer in silence, so you’re helping him by telling me.”

He felt shaken. “…Come with me.”

Grace followed him into his office.

Eric locked the door with his backhand and asked her in a low voice, “Do you still remember the acid throwing incident you encountered at Lust Caution Bar half a year ago?”
