Louis''s words seemed casual, but they carried significant weight.
He subtly suggested that Anissa should tone it down and not ruin the children''s happiness. At the same time, he hinted that she hadn''t managed to win Quentin''s heart.
Of course, her less-than-ster family background meant she would never have any real standing in the Martin Family.
Anissa''s expression darkened.
Louis didn''t pay her any attention and soon left the Martin Mansion.
That evening, Grant took Chloe back to his small vi in Sovereign City.
Chloe must have been exhausted and she had been asleep in Grant''s arms since they got off the boat.
Grant carried her inside,id her on the bed, tucked her in, and watched his little girl sleep soundly.
At that moment, Grant felt at peace.
Once Chloe was asleep, Grant took his phone and went downstairs.
Today, he had intercepted the ship that was supposed to take Chloe and Rena away, preventing a disaster.
This matter couldn''t be brushed aside. As a powerful figure in Sovereign City, Grant had the responsibility and duty to ensure his woman''s safety.
Grant called Liam.
"Liam, have you found out who targeted Chloe?"
In recent years, Liam had handled all of Grant''s less-than-legal affairs.
Liam replied, "Not yet, but my people are already on it. We should have some information soon."
"Okay. Who do you think it could be? Someone Chloe angered or one of my enemies?" Grant was cautious.
Over the years, he had made some enemies in business. Those people couldn''t get to him so that they might target Chloe instead.
Liam thought for a moment and said, "It shouldn''t be someone Chloe angered. She''s just a student. How could she offend anyone who involved in human trafficking?"
"I think we need to look at your side. I''ll go through all the clients you''ve dealt with since you took office." Liam''s workload was significant.
But to ensure Chloe''s safety, he had to do it.
"Good. Be thorough. Better to wrong an innocent person than let the culprit go. Got it?" Grant instructed Liam.
"Yes, Grant. Consider it done."
Grant hung up the phone.
He went back upstairs and sat beside Chloe again. He carefullyy down and wrapped his arm around her waist.
Chloe turned over and draped her leg over Grant.
She mumbled in her sleep, "Grantie, kiss me..."
Hearing Chloe''s sleep talk, Grant couldn''t help butugh. Looking at Chloe clinging to him like an octopus, he obediently lowered his face and gave her a light peck on the lips.
Meanwhile, at home, Odette''s door was pushed open. When she saw the woman wrapped up tightly, Odette''s face turned pale with fear.
She quickly stood up and approached the woman.
"What are you doing here?"
As soon as Odette spoke, the woman pped her hard.
"Dammit! I gave you a job, and this is how you do it? You can''t even trick someone properly?" The woman hit and scolded Odette.

Odette felt incredibly wronged.
She defended herself, "I did trick her. I got her out. It was your people who were too
slow and didn''t ship her away. How is that my fault?"
Odette''s exnation only angered the woman more.
She raised her hand and pped Odette again.
"How dare you talk back? If I say you''re ipetent, then you''re ipetent."
"Let me tell you. If you talk to me like that again, I''ll send you your brother''s leg."
The woman threatened Odette with her brother''s situation again. Odette was terrified.
She covered her face and cried, "I''ve done so much for you already. Tell me. What do I have to do for you to let me and my brother go?"
Hearing this, the woman gave a cold smile.
She said to Odette, "If you want me to let you and your brother go, you''ll do as I say."
"In the next couple of days, get that ugly girl Chloe out for me..."
"If you do this right, I''ll let your brother go."
Odette shook her head frantically.
"No, I can''t. Chloe just had an incident. Grant will definitely increase her security detail."
"If I try to trick her now, it won''t work. Not only will I fail, but if Grant suspects me, I might lose my life."

Odette and Grant were schoolmates, and she knew exactly what kind of man Grant
was.
She had heard from her ssmates that those who opposed Grant in business were almost all taken down by him.
What was shepared to Grant? How could she possibly go against him?
"I don''t care. I''ve given you the opportunity. It''s up to you to choose."
"If you don''t want to see your brother die, you''ll get this done for me."
"I don''t have time to wait."
With that, the woman gave Odette a fierce re and turned to leave.
One of her men, perhaps seeing that Odette wasn''t very cooperative, pulled out a knife
and stabbed it into Odette''s table after the woman left.
The knife stuck firmly into the table.
Odette was scared out of her wits...
Around ten o''clock at night, Michael, who was bandaging Rena''s wounds in his small
vi, received a call from Anissa.
Anissa asked, "Mic, where are you?"
Michael replied, "I''m at my vi, Mom. What''s up?"
"I''m nearby and thought I''d drop by to see you." Anissa wanted to mend her rtionship with her children, and Michael, being the most gentle one, was her starting point.
Hearing that Anissa wasing, Michael got anxious.
Rena was with him now. If Anissa came, she would find out about them. Given that Anissa didn''t approve of Chloe, who came from a good family, she would definitely disapprove of Rena, whose family background was much worse. If Anissa scolded Rena like she did Chloe, Rena wouldn''t even have the courage to fight back.
He couldn''t let Anissa see Rena...
