Chapter 1881

Hearing this, Grace was completely at a loss.She had to admit she had truly let wolves into her home.“Fine. I’ll admit that you’ve finally scared me.”Grace closed her eyes, a faint, almost imperceptible sigh escaping her lips.“No matter what you intend to do, I’m warning you—do not touch the Walton family.“Otherwise, I can’t guarantee what I might end up doing.”By the final sentence, Grace’s tone turned cold and menacing.She had to cut off their delusions completely.She could not allow them to harbor even the slightest thought of laying a hand on Walton Corporation.“What else do you think you can do?”Sean looked at Grace’s last-ditch struggle and found it rather amusing.“You should know my methods very well.”At those words, Grace opened her eyes.“What do you mean by that?”Sean sat down on the sofa without the slightest fear, carrying himself as if he were the master of the Walton household.“If I remember correctly, Tessa should have mentioned it to you as well.”Sean spo

As Grace continued to think in silence, Sean spoke leisurely, “Take your time thinking it over. I’ll take Tessa and leave first.”“Where do you think you’re taking her?”At those words, Grace instantly went on guard.After all, at this point, Tessa was still considered a sinner of the Walton family.So many eyes were watching her. Even if she did not want to hand Tessa over, she could not possibly let her go freely.Everyone knew how closely connected she was to Tessa.If she let Tessa walk away just like that, how was she supposed to answer to the shareholders?“She’s my daughter. Where I take her has nothing to do with you.”“So now you admit she’s your daughter.”Hearing this, Grace found it somewhat laughable. “Then when I brought her here back then, why didn’t you say she was your daughter?”“But when you brought her here, you also said you would treat her as your own daughter.“I really wonder how your memory got so bad. You’re just like you were when you were young.”Sean laughe

Seeing her fighting spirit rekindle, Sean felt genuinely pleased.“Tessa, this is how it should be.”Sean kept pressing his point.“Since you’re my daughter, you need to understand who you are and you must never be weak.”He coaxed her.“Think about it. If the truth comes out, do you really think she’ll still treat you the way she does now?”Tessa said nothing because she knew the answer.Grace would never treat her the same.She had her own biological daughter, and the shareholders were far from foolish.They would never allow Grace to favor an outsider.Once Tessa understood that, she finally woke up.She knew that if she did not fight for herself, she would never earn Grace’s recognition.Between her and Aurora, the gap was worlds apart.And now, blood ties made that divide even deeper.It was an unbridgeable chasm.No matter what, it would never change easily.It was precisely because she understood all of this that Tessa agreed to work with Sean.“Enough. Talking about it now won’

Tessa took a deep breath and continued walking forward.At this point, she and Grace had completely torn things apart.If they ever met again, they would likely stand as enemies.Just thinking about it made her chest ache.She knew better than anyone that Grace had been by her side since childhood.There had been no one else around her—Grace gave her the greatest care and protection she had ever known.If she truly hardened her heart against Grace, she could not bring herself to do it.Turning it over again and again in her mind, Tessa inevitably softened.But from behind, Sean reminded her in a cold, sinister tone, “Don’t say I didn’t warn you beforehand. If you let sentimentality get in the way, the ones who lose in the end will be us.”“I understand what you mean.”Tessa lowered her gaze and replied obediently.She knew very well that Sean was selfish to his core.Because she understood this, she did not dare to act rashly.Nor did she dare to go against him.Even though she had not

Arnold stayed by Grace’s side the entire time.“Madam Grace, how are you feeling now?”Fear crept into Arnold’s heart.Seeing Grace’s ashen expression, his own chest tightened.“What’s wrong? Why aren’t you saying anything?”He kept trying to reach her.But no matter what he said, Grace only wept silently.Watching her like this left him torn.He felt that someone like this should notify Aurora.After all, Aurora was her biological daughter.It did not make sense that her mother had reached this state while her own daughter knew nothing.“Madam, if you keep going like this, I’ll have to inform Miss Aurora.”“Don’t tell her.”At the mention of Aurora’s name, Grace finally reacted.“This is our matter. Don’t disturb her.”As she spoke, her tears would not stop falling.“Madam Grace, why put yourself through this?”Arnold could not help but sigh.He never imagined things would change so quickly.Not long ago, their relationship had been so close.What was more, Grace had been holding a wi

After all, he was only a servant.The more he said, the more likely he was to be at fault.He should focus on doing his job properly.Arnold looked at Grace with concern and said, “I think you should take better care of your health right now.”“If you go to see Miss Aurora like this and she ends up worrying about you, what then?”“I think you’re right.”But the very next second, Grace patted her own face and forced a smile.“It’s fine. I feel my spirits have already recovered. I’m perfectly fine.”“Madam Grace, are you deceiving yourself?”Seeing her like this, Arnold did not know what else to say.He felt that Grace had become somewhat unhinged.“I said I’m fine, so I’m fine.”Grace brought out the authority she once held.After all, she had managed Walton Corporation for many years.That commanding presence still lingered around her.A few simple words were enough to leave Arnold speechless.Because Grace had asserted the authority she was accustomed to.“Fine. I can’t argue with you
