Chapter 1397: Pressure
She instinctively wanted to refuse, but before she could speak, Grace's voice interrupted her: "Auntie, | only have you now. | really want to see you. Dad is ignoring this matter, and | really don't know if he still has my mom in his heart, and Camille, her reaction is also very cold. You know our relationship is already distant, so now with this happening, | have nothing to say to her either."
Grace portrayed herself as a pitiful girl, with no one to rely on, ignored by her dad after losing her mom, and with a sister who is indifferent. She naturally has no one else to talk to except for her aunt, who she has always had a good relationship with.
So Regina hesitated for a moment, wanting to refuse but not saying anything. Instead, after a few seconds, she spoke up: "Where are you right now?"
"I'm staying at a hotel. | don't want to go back home, it's too chaotic there. Uncle and the others are all there, you know what kind of people they are, they are completely untrustworthy. When mom was around, the relationship was not close. Now they want to get close, it's just for the Armstrong family's benefits.”
Grace used all her acting skills. From her words alone, one couldn't tell that she was tightly clenching her hands, with sweaty palms from nervousness.
But she continued to pretend to be calm. She didn't want Regina to sense any abnormality, and she didn't want to cause any trouble to anyone. Camille had already done more than she should, and she didn't want to be useless. Even though Camille and everyone else wouldn't blame her, she couldn't shake off the guilt in her heart.
With Grace's sincere plea, Regina finally relented and said: "Why don't you take a taxi over to my place?" “Okay, I'll go right now," Grace immediately responded.
But Grace didn't know Regina's current address under normal circumstances. So after Camille quickly typed out a speech on her phone and handed it to Grace, she immediately asked: "Auntie, it might be a bit far for me to go to where you are. It might be late when | arrive. Would you mind meeting me at the corner of the alley?"
Grace was referring to where Regina used to live a long time ago. Her memories were stuck in that place, and she hadn't been to Regina's new villa in the city for years.
In response to Grace's question, Regina's doubts were completely dispelled. She felt relieved, and her whole tone of voice lightened. She said: "I don't live over there anymore. Didn't your mom tell you? | moved out years ago. The place | live now isn't too far from the Armstrong family."
Regina revealed her address without any reservation. It was a small villa in a prime location in Hance City, which was not cheap at all.
It was clear that Brody had spent a lot of money on her. Otherwise, how could she have bought this villa?
Controlling her emotions, Grace asked with feigned surprise: "Auntie, did you buy a new house? Why didn't you invite me to visit? Did you hit the jackpot without telling us?"
Grace asked bluntly, but without any ulterior motive. Regina knew Grace well enough to know that she was straightforward and sincere, which is why she called her.
Regina just smiled and said: "Your mom introduced me to a boyfriend. This was his proposal gift to me. You know, for so many years, | raised Vere alone. | never thought about finding someone, but your mom thought this guy was perfect for me. Come over first, and when there's a chance, I'll introduce you both."
Grace agreed, and then ended the call.
She held her phone tightly, her expression consistently unpleasant, her voice cold as she said: "She now thinks there's no evidence against her, so she wants to blame everything on mom. She's the craftiest person I've ever met. | really doubt if she even has a heart. How could she do something like this?"
Grace was visibly upset, her eyes filled with coldness and breakdown.
Concerned, Horace asked: "Are you sure you can handle this? If you don't want to face her, we can wait and go later. Are you okay with that?"
"No, | want to go," Grace had already called for a ride. She said: "To make it look real, I'll take a cab. My phone may not be able to stay connected the whole time, so Mr. Simpson, is there a way for you to hear everything when I go over there?"
Ayan nodded: "I'll have a discreet monitoring device prepared for you."
It was like an earring that one could wear on their ear. It was small but high-definition, and could sync audio. This way, it could protect Grace and record everything that happened on site.Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
Ayan assured her: "We have people watching the area where she's staying. If anything happens, they'll protect you immediately. So don't worry, just go with the flow, no pressure.”
"Thank you," Grace nodded.
Horace then offered: "I'll accompany you."
Grace smiled gently: "No need. If you come with me, what will you say to her afterwards?" Horace, with a serious expression, still couldn't help but worry.
But Grace was unwavering. She said: "She probably won't confront re yet, since her RgoRiG ard Still round. Anpuitaninye go awry, | have the right to take back everything she's used. After all, it belongs to my mom too, right?" Please read the original content at .
