The Millionaire And His Billionaire Ex-Wife

Chapter 35

“How dare you!” Lucy first noticed that she was sitting in the main seat of the conference room, and then she realized what she meant. Her lips trembled as she asked, “What… what do you mean?” Grace smiled arrogantly. She merely cast a sidelong glance at Lucy and did not answer. Lucy was flustered by her laughter, and she was even more frightened by her aura. “Mad! You are mad!” As she spoke, she took two steps back. As soon as she turned around and was about to leave, four men in police uniforms suddenly came in and politely knocked on the door. “Excuse me, who is Lucy?” Hearing that they were looking for her, Lucy was stunned. “What can I do for you?” Seeing her answer, the policemen immediately walked toward her with serious faces. She was so scared that her face turned pale. “Are… are you kidding me? I didn’t break any laws!” “We will judge whether you are innocent or not. Please come with us.” “No! I’m not going!” Victor and Louis were in jail, and what she had done could not be hidden at all. She had hoped that Henry could protect her, but he couldn’t even protect himself. But she couldn’t go to jail. Once she did, she would lose everything. As if she had thought of something, she trotted over to Grace, squatted at her feet, and almost threw away all her dignity. She held Grace’s hand and begged. “You called the cops, didn’t you? Grace… Ms. Salen, I give up. I’m sorry for my jealousy and ill intentions. Can you release me?” Grace gently tilted Lucy’s chin, meeting her gaze, and smiled. “Your apology reeks of fear and insincerity. You know it, I know it.” “No, I’m serious. I was mistaken, Ms. Salen. I was truly in the wrong.” “Lucy, acting childish and scheming for a promotion by cozying up to Henry might just get you fired. But

you’ve astonished me. I underestimated you. To match your performance from last night, prison seems appropriate,” Lucy wept, her head bowed, her heart seething with hatred. She thought, “This bitc h is too arrogant!” “She went too far! “When I get through this, I will kill her!”

Masking her malice, she wore a regretful look. Her lips parted, recalling Grace’s words. “Am I fired?” Grace, being a mere director, didn’t have the authority to dismiss someone so casually, did she? 13:28 The Millionaire and His Billionaife Ex-wife 11.0% Chapter 35 Could it be that with the help of Patric, the whole company would be hers? Grace bent down slightly and whispered to Lucy with a fake smile, “You’ve never been informed that the ground beneath you belongs to me, Grace Smith.” When she spoke of the name, she spoke word by word, and her eyes sparkled with starlight. Seated upon the main seat of the conference room, resembling a throne, her petite figure exuded an undeniable air of authority. There was no hint of incongruity as she commanded the space, emanating a noble and chilling aura. Slap! Lucy sat on the ground, her spirit defeated. She said that this was her company…. She said her surname was… Smith… Lucy covered her mouth, her eyes wide open in shock. Even as the police approached to escort her away, she remained lost in her anguish and despair, unable to fully grasp the reality of her situation.

After dealing with the two employees, Grace finally enjoyed two days of tranquility, At noon, Grace was busy at her desk. Alex knocked on the door and came in with no expression on her face. “Ms, Salen, Mr. Smith has something urgent to talk to you about. Please go there when you’re done,” Patric had something urgent to discuss with her. From Alex’s look, it didn’t seem to be good news. After packing up for two minutes, Grace rushed to the top floor of the office. When the door opened, Patric was sitting in an office chair with his back to her. He raised his head slightly as if he was looking at a mural on the wall. “Patric?” Because there were only the two of them in the office, Grace didn’t hide her identity, Patric suddenly turned around. “Surprise!” He opened the lunchbox in his hands, releasing the enticing aroma of the food inside, “Susan was complaining about how I always make you eat in the canteen for lunch. She said it’s unfair treatment. So she prepared your favorite braised beef. Isn’t that a nice surprise?” Grace was amused by his sudden childish behavior. “Is this the urgent thing?” Patric put down the lunch box, got up, and walked to her with a doting smile on his face. “My little princess needs to eat. That’s the most important thing.” Grace remained silent, but the sparkle in her eyes revealed her true emotions. Patric guided her to the sofa and sat down. The table was already set with various dishes and a bowl of soup. Patric brought the plate of braised beef over to her. The Millionaire and Mi itionafe Ex wife Chapter 35 Grace took a whiff of the aroma and confirmed that Susan’s cooking was indeed superior to the cafeteria food she had been having at lunch. “It’s delicious, but if I come to your office for lunch all the time, people will suspect our relationship.” Patric chuckled involuntarily. “Ever since you showed up, Susan’s been deaf to my words. Head back

and deliver the message to her face-to-face tonight.” Grace nodded, lowered her head, and continued eating. She was really hungry. The food cooked by Susan made her unable to resist at all. Seeing that she was eating like a silly squirrel, Patric couldn’t help but pinch the tip of her nose. Grace smiled and continued to eat. The two chatted and ate at the same time. The atmosphere in the office was lively. Alex suddenly knocked on the door and came in. He whispered at the door, ” Mr. Smith, Ms. Grammer is here.” Grace looked up at Patric subconsciously, only to see that Patric looked sullen in an instant. Alex also had a strange expression on his face. “She’s already waiting outside. Do you want to see her?” Patric replied without hesitation, “I’m busy.” Alex could only leave resentfully. As the door closed, the large office became soft again. Patric picked up a full and juicy beef and put it in Grace’s bowl. “Eat more. You’re too thin.” Grace agreed absent-mindedly and asked tentatively, “Patric, you seem to have a problem with your fiancee?” Patric said in disgust, “Fiancee? She doesn’t deserve it. She’s just a shameless girl.” Judging from his expression, there seemed to be a big deal about their engagement. But he didn’t seem to be willing to mention it, so Grace didn’t ask any more questions. Shameless? She was a little curious. What kind of woman could make Patric hate her so much? “What bad idea are you thinking about? Eat.” Patric interrupted her when he saw the wicked smile in her eyes. Grace nodded obediently. Ten minutes later, Grace finished her meal and came out of the president’s office. She saw Sarah, who

was pestering Alex. Sarah’s plead gradually turned into a threat. Grace looked away and walked toward the elevator. “Stop right there!” 13 29 The Millionaire and His Billionaire Ex-wife 11.2% A sharp voice came from behind. Sarah grabbed Grace by the wrist. She twisted in front of her and took a look. “It’s you. Why did you come out of Patric’s office?” Grace raised her eyebrows and smiled casually. “Mr. Smith invited me to lunch. I can’t refuse, so…” Before she could finish her words, Sarah was so angry that he wanted to burn her on the spot.This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
