She stole my wedding and home! I'm done! novel

Chapter 20 Breaking Point "Grace, what are you doing? You want to hit an old woman now?" Evelyn snapped. Laney let out a fake cough, making a show of trying to calm things down since people were watching. "Grace, don't be upset. We only came to check on your brother. We didn't him to throw us out." expect Grace's eyes never left Margaret. Step by step, she closed in. "I asked you, what were you just saying?" Margaret had never seen her like this. In her memory, Grace had always been soft-spoken, never daring to defy her or Ethan. "Watch your tongue.

If you disrespect me, Ethan will be furious with you," Margaret threatened. Grace's face was unreadable. "And if he is? What's that to me?" Her expression was terrifying. Even Evelyn's voice faltered. "Grace, you..." "Ahhh!" Grace's hand fisted in Evelyn's hair, her bloodshot eyes burning with fury. She had given this family everything, and they still never stopped. Now Evelyn was pressed against the ninth-floor window, the autumn wind roaring in through the open gap. Margaret's knees buckled. "Grace! You wouldn't dare!" "Why wouldn't I?" Grace's smile was sharp and frightening.

"I've got nothing left to lose. Your son took every cent, you stole the house I paid for, years of work, all gone. Tell me, what exactly should I be afraid of?" She said it loud, on purpose. There were phones recording in the hall. And Margaret feared death. If Grace acted like she'd drag them all down together, Margaret would crack. "Who the hell are you people?" 1/3 +10 Free Coins A group of men appeared suddenly, wordless, grabbing Margaret by the collar and yanking Laney by the hair. "This isn't a playground. Hospitals aren't for troublemakers," one of them said flatly.

Margaret and Laney were hauled out, no one stepping forward to save them. Evelyn sobbed, terrified. "I was wrong! Grace, I know I was wrong! Please let me go, I won't do it again!" Grace caught the look in the men's eyes. They weren't hospital security. Sure enough, when she glanced their way, the man who'd spoken came over and dragged Evelyn off too, tossing her out with the others. The three of them ended up dumped on the street, pale and shaking. Laney had never been so humiliated.

Shielding her face in case anyone snapped pictures, she hissed at Margaret, "She must've found herself a powerful backer! If she dares to turn on you like this, she'll do the same to Ethan. Ma'am, you need to think of a plan." Inside the hospital room, another figure appeared. Daniel. Before Grace could say anything, he spoke. "The hospital's a West family investment. If you need anything, go directly to the director." "Miss Miller! Forgive us for not realizing you and your brother were here. I'm Philip Collins, the director. Please don't take offense.

We'll make sure you're well taken care of," the man gushed, desperate to show respect. So, the men earlier, they were his. Grace forced a weary smile. "Thank you, Mr. West. I'm planning to report to the tomorrow." company Daniel gave her a look, silent for a few seconds. Then, "Are you free tomorrow night?" Grace blinked, caught off guard. Ryan answered for her from the bed, blunt and eager. "She's free! She's got nothing else going on!" To him, this man already seemed ten times stronger than Ethan. Grace couldn't take back the answer now. She nodded. "I'm free, Mr. West.

Whatever you need 2/3 C me to prepare for work, just let me know." She kept her posture low, respectful. People in power liked being treated with deference. That was why so many business leaders preferred to work with her over Ethan. Ethan was too arrogant, too proud of his small successes, too condescending to older executives. He never won their favor. Not that he cared, luck had always carried him. "No instructions," Daniel said. "Just dinner." Then he left. As soon as the door shut, Ryan turned to his sister.

"So you really did jump ship to Titan Group?" Grace sank into a chair and nodded. Even she couldn't deny she felt a little lost. Changing companies was never easy. "That's the best news I've heard all year!" Ryan was grinning. "Promise me you won't ever go back. You've done more than enough for the Carters. The only debt here is mine, not yours. I owe Richard Carter my life, not the rest of his family." Every holiday, he'd still gone to visit Richard, never once forgetting. If the Carters hadn't turned out like this, they never would've cut ties.
