Chapter 416

Author: Millie Bridge
Luckily, Grace always prepared for the worst. Otherwise… Just thinking about how she had almost died that day made her involuntarily shudder.

There was no need for Grace to go to the hospital. So, when Agatha and her heard Irvin had returned to Hardwell Manor, they rushed back too.

Magnus had already been informed of what had happened before either party had arrived at Hardwell Manor. So, when he heard Irvin had returned home, he immediately left his office and headed home too.

He intended to have a talk with Irvin. However, upon arriving at Hardwell Manor, Irvin had locked himself in his room. And no matter how many times Magnus knocked, he neither responded nor opened the door.

Not wanting to damage the fragile relationship he had with his only living son, Magnus didn't dare force his way in. He could only allow Irvin to shut himself away in his room.

The first thing Grace did when she got home was to find Magnus. Irvin had gone completely mad and had tried to kill her. While he

    At the moment, Magnus wasn't sure if Irvin's overnight maturity was a good thing or a bad thing.Deciding to test the waters, he cautiously said, "What's done is done, Irvin. There's no point dwelling on it. You and Grace are going to spend the rest of your lives together as husband and wife. This is just the start of your happiness.""I understand, Magnus," Irvin replied coolly.In the past, Magnus had always been able to tell what Irvin was thinking. Yet now, no matter how hard Magnus studied him, he couldn't decipher his true thoughts at all.Hence, he didn't know if Irvin had genuinely given up on his relationship with me. He couldn't tell if Irvin had decided to move on and be Grace's husband or if something else was going on.However, knowing that Irvin hadn't eaten for over a day, Magnus didn't press further. He simply told Irvin to come to the study after he finished eating. Then, he turned and left.Irvin's cold gaze grew icier as he watched Magnus go. It hadn't taken hi

    Irvin had locked himself in his room for over a day. He hadn't eaten or drunk anything the entire time. Naturally, the Hardwells were concerned about him. When they heard the maid's scream, they immediately dashed to Irvin's room.Upon seeing his overnight transformation, Magnus, Agatha, and Grace were dumbfounded. They remained frozen to their spots for a very long time. Neither of them could believe their eyes. It was inconceivable that someone could age so drastically in a single night.This was…How did…What sort of unbearable experience could possibly cause all of someone's hair to turn completely white overnight?Using Agatha as an example, her eldest son, Timothy, had been everything to her. She would've rather died than allow anything to happen to him. So, when she had heard the news of Timothy's sudden death, she had genuinely lost the will to live.She had been in so much pain that she had nearly gone mad and had been driven to despair. Yet, even when experiencing such

    Grace wasn't the slightest bit worried as she watched Irvin make multiple phone calls.She had arrived just as I left the lounge, so she knew Irvin had been with me. Hence, she had already made the necessary preparations.Not only had she tampered with the building's security footage, but she had even dealt with Emma and the bodyguards I had sent to the lounge to move Irvin. Grace and the masked man had taken care of all of them. If the military hadn't taken me away, I too would've vanished from Claudeville.At this thought, she couldn't help dwelling a little longer on the masked man. She had no idea why he was helping her so much.Right now, they might be on the same side, but he was helping her too much. Additionally, he also knew far too much about her and Irvin. Most importantly, for some strange reason, the masked man felt familiar to her.When Irvin couldn't locate me, he persistently checked the security footage. However, it had already been doctored by Grace's people, s

    "You'd better tell me the truth if you want to live, Grace!" Irvin threatened.Last night, he had hung on until he had escaped to the lounge. Once he had, he had lost all consciousness and had no memory of what happened after. However, Irvin trusted his instincts.Amidst the haze, he clearly remembered catching my scent. He was sure I had been the person in his arms. There was no way he had slept with Grace. It was impossible!Grace could feel Irvin's intense murderous intent. She had a strong desire to live and wanted to stay alive. And the more she wanted to, the more she had to bite down and stick to her story.Her tears welled up instantly. She had always been able to summon them at will..Then, she said in her most pitiful tone, "I don't know what you want me to say, Tim. You had too much to drink last night, so I just wanted to help you home. Yet, you kept thinking I was trying to do something to you. So, you pushed me away and ran."I saw you head to the top floor, and out

    Grace squashed down her panic and turned to face Irvin. With a bashful smile, she said, "Tim, you're awake."Irvin only felt murderous rage when he saw the smile. Grabbing the blanket beside him, he flung it at her. His entire body was trembling with fury.He had been too trusting of Julianne in the past. Because of it, he had believed his entire relationship with me had been a sham from the moment we met—one I had orchestrated.As a result, he had hated me to the point of neglect. He had tormented and emotionally abused me. On top of that, he had even stood by and allowed others to ridicule me.Irvin admitted he had been such a brainless idiot then. Even so, he had never cheated on me. Yes, he had been kind to Julianne and hadn't drawn boundaries with her. However, that was only because they had grown up together.Julianne's ties with him were closer than his own female cousin. Whenever Diana had been too busy during their childhood, he would take care of her. He had been the o

    The soldiers informed me someone had injured his legs. Then, they explained I needed to come with them to their barracks hospital to provide treatment.I sighed in relief and told them I needed to go upstairs to pack a few essentials. After they agreed, I went upstairs with Cordelia.The soldiers hadn't mentioned who had been injured. However, the fact that such a large convoy had been dispatched to pick me up meant that the person must be important.With the soldiers waiting for me, Cordelia and I didn't have time to talk. So, we simply packed some daily necessities and hurried back downstairs.I was placed in the middle jeep of the convoy. Once inside, I noticed someone was already sitting in the back seat. When I realized who it was, I froze.The person sitting in the back seat clearly looked uneasy. And when he saw me, he froze too."Emi?" Henry called.He had been dragged out of bed early in the morning and brought into the car. Even now, he was still dazed. When he saw me,

    The masked man didn't answer Grace's question. Instead, he said, "Have your people immediately look into who owns this building. There must be another exit on the top floor."People couldn't vanish into thin air, especially under the effects of the drug Grace had given Irvin. So, if there wasn't any trace of Irvin on the top floor, it could only mean he had escaped through some hidden passage.And even if he had, given the severity of the drug's effects, he wouldn't have the strength to go far. This meant he had to be hiding somewhere in the building.If Grace wanted to find him quickly but discreetly, the best way for her to do so was to find out who owned the building. From there, she would be able to know if there was a hidden passage.She frowned and was about to speak, but the masked man beat her to it."You only get one shot, so you'd better focus on finding him," he said tauntingly.With that, the masked man turned and left. He might have lost his prey, but he had plenty o

    I already couldn't fight him before, and now, it was impossible. Still, I flailed my arms desperately, trying to find something to stop him with.I had rolled around in the sheets with Irvin more times than I could count. And yes, sleeping with him was a thousand times better than being assaulted by someone from a criminal organization. But that didn't mean I wanted this to happen. I didn't want the resolve I had built up with great difficulty to be shaken again.After much struggle, I grabbed hold of a book and smacked it hard against Irvin's head. I hoped it would make him come to his senses. Unexpectedly, instead of snapping back to reality, he grew even more excited.Crushed by the weight of his body, I had no strength left to fight. So, all I could do was lie limply as he devoured me like a raging storm.I didn't understand how it had come to this. It had taken everything in me to decide to let him go. So, how could this be happening? I couldn't even cry anymore.Sometimes,
