After following Yancey around relentlessly for five years, Grace told him it was just an act and that everything was a lie. How could he let it go just like that?

He loathed her, but the stirring in the depths of his heart couldn''t deceive even himself; he loved her too.

He loved her the most.

Jodie kept chattering beside him, but Yancey, who was rubbing his wrists, wasn''t paying attention.

Yancey was thinking that if Grace was left with nothing one day her career ruined, her friends and brother gone, and that so-called mysterious boyfriend gone as well-shouldn''t shee running to him?

Only by destroying everything she had would she stay by his side.

When Jodie arrived at Henderson Residence, she was prepared.

Jordan sat on the couch in the living room while the butler stood beside him. The air around them was heavy.

"Jodie, do you know why I''ve summoned you today?"

Jodie''s eyes brightened, and she immediately fell to her knees.

"Grandpa, it''s all Grace''s fault. She seduced Uncle Ethan! I''ve been seeing her in Palm Bay a lot. Not only does she give him flowers and little gifts, but she always has this sickeningly arrogant air around her. Also, have you heard? Daphne is dead. It happened during Grace''s kidnapping. I think it was Uncle Ethan who did it. It seems that Uncle Ethan likes Grace but not enough to marry her."

Jordan kept quiet. He had not been aware of the newstely and had no clue that Ethan had a hand in Daphne''s matter. Taking a deep breath, he turned toward the butler beside him.

"See who the Lambert family is looking to cooperate withtely."

He was setting a trap, preferably one that would prevent Grace from ever recovering.

Jodie''s eyes lit up, the corners of her lips rising. "Grandpa, I''ve warned Grace to stay away from Uncle Ethan many times, but she just ignores me. If I were to fight her, would you back me up?"

That way, even if Ethan were to hold her ountable, he would show mercy due to Jordan''s intervention. Plus, Ethan still needed her.

Jordan got up, leaning on his cane. He might look calm, but the storm in his eyes was brewing. "Do whatever you need to."fn00d4 This update is avable on find?novel/fn00d4

Jodie''s eyes lit up, an evil smile forming on her face. "Thank you, Grandpa."

On Christmas Eve, Grace received a message from Liam.

"Grace, I need to talk to you about your real identity. Can youe to the hospital?"

Grace looked at the message repeatedly and made sure it was Liam who sent the message. She gave him a call, wanting to ask him what he was bbering about. What real identity?

But Liam didn''t pick up. He was at home, ordering the chef to make him something delicious. There had been no mention of Grace, and he had mojdea whether or not Grace wasing over to have dimer together.  s

Andrea had used his phone to send the message. She was now busy running around beside him, her expression ecstatic. "Liam, I forgot my pregnancy report at the hospital. I''m going to go grab it now so that can see whether I''m having a boy on a girl."

Liam, who was looking outside at the snow, stayed quiet.

An hourter, Andrea arrived at the hospital. She wanted to call Joanne to ask what the n was. She wanted to see for herself how miserable Grace would turn out, but Joanne called her first.

"Andrea, bad news. Grace has taken

Liam, and nobody knows where

they''ve gone. Grace has always been ruthless, have reason to believe Grace Caused the fire that led to Quentin''s death. Her ultimate goal is to gain the Lamberts'' assets. Quickly call her and ask what she ns to

ask whatish

do with Liam. Perhaps, for the sake of the child in you, she might show you some mercy."  s
