Chapter 12
In the garden…
Crossing her arms, Grace stood by the fountain to breathe in the fresh air.
If she didn’t come out for some fresh air, the disgusting smell in the banquet hall would have probably made her pass out. Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
“Grace!”
A sharp voice suddenly sounded behind her.
She turned her head and saw that it was Mia who was walking toward her arrogantly.
Grace looked away coldly and said in an icy tone, “What’s wrong? Didn’t I hurt you enough just now? Do you want me to help you recall it?”
Hearing her words, Mia was so angry that she wished she could ruin Grace’s face. But thinking of her plan, she clenched her fists and held back her anger.
She took out a bank card from her LV bag and handed it to Grace.
“There’s 50 thousand dollars on this. As long as you promise not to show up in front of Edgar again and leave Frant City now and never return, the money
will be yours.”
Frowning, Grace looked at the bank card in her hand strangely.
She thought, “It’s just 50 thousand dollars, a petty amount that can’t even get my attention, and she wants to bribe me to leave Frant City with it?”
Given Grace’s expression, Mia thought that she was tempted and became even prouder. “You grew up in an orphanage. I’m afraid you’ve never seen so much money before. But for me, it’s just one week’s pocket money. I think you need it more than I do.”

“What do you think? Are you tempted?”
Looking excited, Mia kept chanting in her heart, “Take the money! Take it!”
She was determined to win. When Grace was in the Fallen family, Yvonne deducted all of
her pocket money. In the past few years, Grace couldn’t even afford decent branded clothes
when she stayed with the Fallen family.
Therefore, Mia was sure that Grace, who was so poor, would not refuse it.
As long as Grace accepted her money, she would allege that it had been stolen before the banquet came to an end. She would pretend to catch Grace red-handed and call the police to arrest her.
Once Grace was arrested, she would bribe the people in the detention center to beat her to

Thinking of this, Mia almost couldn’t hide the excitement in her eyes.

Mia said, “Take it. I didn’t do that on purpose earlier. I apologize to you, but this time I mean it. Since you are so short of money, just take it.”
Tilting her head, Grace looked Mia up and down. Seeing all her changing expressions, she shook her head mockingly.
Then she turned on her cell phone and sent a text message to Alex, the special assistant to Patric.
Her text read: [Inside the car we took to get here, you’ll find my black gold card in my bag. Help me cash out 167 thousand dollars from the bank. I’m in the garden. Hurry up.]
Almost two seconds later, a reply came from the other side.
Alex replied: [Got it! I’ll be there in two minutes.]
After getting the positive reply, Grace sat casually on the stone platform of the fountain.
Seeing that Grace was ignoring her, Mia was a little angry. She then asked, “Hey, are you listening to me or not?”
Rubbing her shoulders lazily, Grace said, “Wait a minute.”
“Wait?”
Mia was confused as she asked, “What are you waiting for? I know you’re with Patric now, but he’s just having fun with you. Do you really think a young and handsome rich man like him will marry you?”
While she was still trying to persuade Grace, Alex arrived with a black box in his hand. He bent down and respectfully handed it to Grace.
“Here is what you wanted.”
Looking at the strange man who suddenly appeared, Mia was confused.
As for Grace, she had gotten up and taken the box from Alex. When she looked at Mia
again, her eyes were shining with coldness, and she smiled unscrupulously.
“You’ve talked so much just now. Now, it’s my turn, isn’t it?”
