CHAPTER 32: CHAPTER 32: STANDING MY GROUND

"Grace was also pregnant at that time, but her child was born healthy, that’s Marcus. The night I got divorced, it was raining, I met Marcus on the road, that child was so warm, he came to hug me voluntarily."

Eleanor Hollis said this, with a slight curve at the corners of her mouth.

Hugo Quinn said nothing; he was a member of the Quinton Family, and this woman bore resentment towards them. At this moment, he could only remain silent.

"I was in the Quinton Family, and Nathaniel neglected me for five years. During this time, I saw him dating Grace countless times. Mr. Quinn, as her husband, did you really not notice at all?"

Eleanor slowly spoke this phrase; in fact, this was her real purpose.

If Hugo hadn’t sent someone to watch over her grandmother, something might have already happened to her.

Grace, for her own selfish desires, was willing to reach towards her grandmother. She was heartless, so she couldn’t blame Eleanor for being unfeeling.

Since there was going to be a fight, she would accompany it to the end!

Hugo’s grip on the steering wheel tightened, his eyes darkening.

"Nathaniel always had a white moonlight in his heart, and that was Grace. Grace married you, but at the same time made a promise to Nathaniel, asking him to wait for her. I really don’t understand why a married woman would say such things to my husband. Nathaniel was infatuated with her, and so he was very cold to me. After five years, even though I tried countless times, I couldn’t even earn the qualification to bear him a child. Mr. Quinn, do you think I should hate Grace?"

Eleanor did not expect Grace to ever reveal these things, nor did she know that when she was dating Nathaniel, she was caught in the act by someone.

All these years, Grace hadn’t really paid attention to Eleanor; she had always been a nobody to her.

But who knew, that nobody would stab her so ruthlessly.

Hugo’s presence grew colder, as if he would freeze the entire car cabin.

Eleanor was breaking into a sweat on her forehead, she almost forgot, this was a man who built a business empire from a young age, his aura was truly unbeatable.

"I will investigate this thoroughly."

He hadn’t paid much attention to Grace over the years and never thought she was doing such good deeds behind his back.

The car finally stopped in front of the villa, Eleanor felt a bit tired, her face pale as she walked forward.

Hugo stood there, looking at her with a complicated gaze, and finally took out his phone to make a call.

"Investigate Grace and Nathaniel."

After leaving that sentence, he followed into the villa.

The next day, a pile of investigation materials was placed on his desk.

Lan Yancy was somewhat trembling, who would have thought the CEO’s wife actually had an affair with Nathaniel, it was blind-eyed, ignoring a good CEO to go after another man.

Lan Yancy was Hugo’s personal assistant, when he was not around, all the company’s affairs were handled by this person.

"Boss, do you want me to call the CEO’s wife?"

He asked cautiously, no man would want to be cuckolded, not to mention a man at the top of the pyramid.

"No need."

Hugo tossed those photos casually into the drawer, she was just a woman who didn’t matter, whoever she liked had nothing to do with him.

Lan Yancy couldn’t figure out what this person was thinking, logically the evidence was all there, shouldn’t he directly call the person to get to the bottom of it?

"Lan Yancy, release these photos to the media."

Hugo opened his laptop, speaking indifferently.

Lan Yancy’s face twitched, if the photos were released to the media, soon the entire Serenford would know about the CEO being cuckolded.

"CEO, doing so will damage your reputation, Miss Lynch is after all the CEO’s wife."

"She won’t be for much longer."

Hugo’s face showed no ripple, as if he were merely dealing with an insignificant person.

Lan Yancy clicked his tongue, looking like he was about to take big action, quickly silencing, proceeding as told.

At this moment, Grace was in her room applying a face mask, hearing her phone ringing, she frowned slightly, picking it up to see it was Stella Lynch.

What does this person want now?

"Grace, that little bitch is really strong, your uncle and I aren’t her opponents at all, she doesn’t want to give us the money, and your husband’s people are guarding the old one, what should we do?"

"Did you say Hugo sent people to protect Grandma?"

Grace’s eyes slowly narrowed, according to her knowledge, Hugo wasn’t someone who meddled in such affairs.

"Absolutely true, when your uncle and I went to cause trouble, we were almost tied up and sent to the police station, Grace, that little bitch appeared in the hospital with your husband in the middle of the night, it’s really suspicious, you better keep an eye on your husband, don’t let someone steal your man."

Steal her man? Just Eleanor?

Grace smirked sarcastically, that person could never match her since childhood!

"I know."

She said, about to hang up, but Stella Lynch wouldn’t have it, if money couldn’t be pried from Eleanor, they would have to get it from here.

"Grace, look how pitiful your uncle and I are, coming to Serenford and getting nothing, now that you’re the CEO’s wife, I heard your husband’s company is quite large, can you let Jane get a job there, Jane is very obedient, and your uncle’s son too, you’re the CEO’s wife, adding two people isn’t difficult, right?"

Hugo’s company is a multinational enterprise, the top of the Fortune 500, these two haven’t even graduated middle school, they don’t even qualify to be janitors!

"Aunt, don’t you still recognize your status? Since I married into the Quinton Family, I’m no longer Grace in your mouth, I mix with high society, different from lower-class people, so don’t come to me for connections, understood?"

Grace’s words were piercing, leaving Stella Lynch speechless, by the time she reacted, the call was already hung up.

Stella Lynch was shaking with anger, having come to Serenford only to be slapped by Eleanor and now insulted by Grace.

"Stella, forget it, I think we should head back, we got fifteen thousand each, that’s enough to spend for a long time."

Liam Lynch wasn’t pleased either, but what else could be done now?

"Those two little bitches better not let me get any dirt on them, or I’ll ruin them!"

Stella Lynch fumed, heading back to the countryside with Liam that very day.

After Grace hung up the phone, she tossed the phone onto the bed, gazing at herself in the mirror, deep in thought.

Hugo appearing at the hospital with Eleanor in the middle of the night was indeed unusual, could it be that man was interested in Eleanor?

In Serenford, there were countless women who tried to seduce him, including many beautiful socialites.

But none of those women succeeded, could Eleanor, a woman divorced for five years, really catch his eye?

Grace’s hand slowly clenched, eyes filled with anger, no matter what Eleanor was up to, she wouldn’t let her succeed!
