Jayce let out a coldugh as he touched his eye. The image of the beer bottle piercing into his eye kept reying in his mind like a nightmare. After that incident, he became afraid of meeting people and spent his days hiding in the shadows.


    Now with Quentin dead and the Lambert family in chaos, he finally had his chance. He would make Grace suffer by blinding her, crippling her, and abusing her in bed.


    Just the thought alone excited him, and a raspyugh slipped from his throat. Yet hisugh was especially eerie.


    Alice had fallen silent and curled up in a corner, so terrified that she had wet herself.


    The more miserable she was, the more she hated Grace. If it hadn''t been for Grace, her life would have been smooth.


    Two dayster, Edric came out of the police station. His personal matters had now be public, and rtives of both parties were taking turns to pester him, which gave him a headache.


    He was still thinking about getting Nelson to sign the share transfer agreement, but Nelson''s phone was unreachable. Little did he know that Nelson had been brought to Liam''s vi and locked up in a room with his phone confiscated. There was nothing Nelson could do.


    Nelson was sweating profusely from anxiety, and he kept begging Sebastian, "Mr. Fenwick, I''ve been with thepany for years. I agreed to sell the shares to Edric because I was left with no choice. I was threatened by a mysterious man, and I might lose my life if I didn''t sell them. It''s not that I don''t believe in Liam and Grace."


    Nelson was restless, fearing that the mysterious man would find this ce and end his life at any moment. As someone with a lot of experience, Sebastian didn''t believe Nelson at all.


    Nelson could only sigh helplessly in the room.


    Meanwhile, Grace and Liam were already sitting in the office. Edric stormed into the office and mmed his hand hard on the desk. "Grace, what have you done to Nelson?"


    Grace, who was sitting on the couch nearby, found it amusing. "Mr. Trenholm, what are you talking about? I don''t get you."


    Edric''s eyes shed with a menacing glint before he fixed his gaze on Liam and revealed a mysterious smile. "You''ve locked up Nelson, haven''t you? That''s illegal."


    Grace leaned back and uttered calmly, "You can report it to the police."


    Edric had juste out of the police station and had no desire to go back there


    now.


    His expression darkened, but he suddenly broke into a sarcastic smile. "Be frank, Grace. Do you already have something in mind?"


    Grace wore a smile and straightened up. "I enjoy talking to smart people. Mr. Trenholm, don''t you want Lambert Group? Let''s make a bet. We can give you thepany, but my dad invested two years of hard work into a project and bought a plot ofnd for 800 million dors back then. Now, I n to auction it off. Let''s see who manages to sell it."


    Edric was in utter disbelief. Grace nned to auction it off?


    Grace must have lost her mind. Everyone knew that the Yule family was going to develop the area around thatnd. Building a hospital or a shopping mall there would basically guarantee easy money.


    He took a deep breath, his eyes brimming with excitement. Grace really knew nothing about business.


    He asked, "Grace, how much do you n to sell it for?"


    She pursed her lips and smiled. "Not much. Two billion dors should be fine, right?"


    Considering the estimated value of the surrounding area, this market value was quite reasonable.


    Edric sneered, "How do you want to bet with me? What if I manage to sell this plot ofnd?"


    "Then I''ll have Liam transfer 7% of the shares to you and you''ll be in charge of thepany in the future," replied Grace.


    Edric frowned at the mention of 7% of the shares. Had Nelson already sold his shares to Liam? But share transactions had to be done through public tforms, and he had yet to find any record of such a deal.


    Grace seemed to read his mind. "The shares are currently held in trust by the relevant institution. Nelson and I have made a deal. Whoever manages to sell thend first gets to sign the agreement."


    Edric sneered inwardly. These two siblings were still too young and naive. Thatnd had been sitting for years and had already increased in value several times over. Plus, with the influence of the Yule family, it was worth even more-yet Grace was only selling it for two billion dors.


    Edric immediately left and contacted Excellent Group.


    Jayce had been staying at home for the past few years, and he would only pick a secluded ce when he went out for social gatherings. His eye condition had made him very paranoid and insecure.


    When he heard Edric''s words, his good eye shifted slightly.


    Edric kept persuading Jayce, saying, "Trust me, Mr. Bet. That plot ofnd is definitely profitable. If it''s not, I''ll sell all my shares topensate you."


    Jayce hated Grace so much that he was grinding his teeth and breathing heavily. If anyone had been near him, they would have been shocked as his entire bedroom was filled with photos of Grace.


    Every single one had been taken in secret, making him seem like a perverted stalker. He slowly extended a hand and drove a dagger into Grace''s face in the photo. He had waited a very long time for this day.


    Edric added again, "Besides, we''ve got another safeguard. Grace will definitely suffer a crushing defeat this time."


    With a scornfulugh, Jayce pulled the dagger out along with the photo. "Let''s buy


    it."


    Edric''s eyes brimmed with excitement. He had spent nearly a decade yearning to take control of thepany and never expected that his wish would be fulfilled so quickly after Quentin''s death.


    ...


    In less than three days, Grace sold off thend for exactly two billion dors.


    Liam never questioned any of her decisions throughout the whole process. However, he still asked dejectedly when he saw the smug look on Edric''s face, "Grace, am I moving out of the office today?"


    Edric was standing right next to them with acent smile. "Of course, you''re moving out. This ce is mine from now on. You two should stay as far away as possible. Liam, you''re more suited to staying at home and living off others. You''re not cut out for the business world."
