Asher , you''ve finallye to see me ! " At the sight of Asher , Grace seemed to lose all control , shrieking loudly and desperately trying to lunge toward him . Her voice was severely hoarse , making her cries sound unnervingly disturbing .


    But her hands and feet were bound , with the ropes fixed to the iron door beside her . Grace was tethered like a dog , utterly stripped of dignity . Asher frowned , the atmosphere around him dropping to arctic levels . " Who gave you permission to address me like that ? " When Grace heard Asher speak this way , she froze momentarily , then suddenly smiled bitterly . " Why can''t I call you that ? Would you prefer I call you brother ? " Grace''s expression twisted into something unhinged .


    She smiled . " I can call you brother if you''d like . I''ve always adored my brother more than anyone . " Asher''s brow furrowed deeply . " Do you even realize what you''re saying ? " " Of course I bloody do ! " Grace shrieked hoarsely . " I''m in love with you ! I LOVE YOU , Asher ckwood ! Can''t you see how desperately I love you ?! " " You''re probably wondering why I did those things ? " Grace''s emotions swung wildly between sobbing and maniacalughter .


    " Hahahahaha , it was all for you , don''t you see ?! Asher , after all these years , how could you not have noticed my feelings ?! " In the sealed basement , under the dim yellow light , the madness and obsession in Grace''s eyes were clearly visible . In this moment , the sordid thoughts she had hidden for over a decade were fully exposed . After she finished speaking , the basement fell into a deathly silence .

" Each word was delivered with such crushing contempt it was as if he were addressing something he''d found on the sole of his shoe . In an instant , all color drained from Grace''s face . She bit her lower lip hard , tears sliding down her face . " Brother , Asher … how can you be so cruel … " Grace sobbed usingly .


    Asher stood motionless , looking at Grace as one might regard an insect , his eyes revealing nothing but impatience . " Grace Bet , from this moment on , you have no connection whatsoever to the ckwood family . " Grace''s gaze turned vacant , her eyes lifeless as she murmured , " I''ve long stopped wanting to be your sister . " Asher nodded slightly . " Then now , it''s time for you to answer for what you''ve done . " " Lucas . " Asher''s tone was emotionless . " Take her outside .


    " " Right away , sir . " Grace asked , " Where are you taking me ? " Asher did not deign to respond . He turned away with cold indifference and walked out unhurriedly . Outside was arge open space . A helicopter was parked on the grounds . Lucas ordered his men to carry Grace out and throw her onto the ground .

It wasn''t that he felt sorry for Grace . She was cold - blooded , responsible for several deaths .

But if Grace died at Asher''s hands today , it would be difficult to exin to his grandfather and grandmother . Asher''s face remained expressionless . He showed no sign of wanting to stop . Lucas couldn''t be sure what Asher was thinking . He knew how important Thalia Winters was to Asher . He had no doubt that Would torture and kill Grace to avenge Thalia .

The following day , Asher returned to the ckwood family home . Catherine ckwood was drinking tea in the living room . Seeing Asher , she asked with curiosity , " Asher , what brings you home ? " Asher sat down on the sofa , casually crossing his long legs , and asked Catherine , " Father hasn''t arrived yet ? " Catherine looked at Asher .


    " Is there something you need to discuss with your father ? " " Yes , " Asher said calmly . " I just rang him . He should be here any minute . " Catherine asked , " What''s it regarding ? " Asher''s expression remained neutral , his tone even and unruffled . " About removing Grace Bet from the ckwood family . Permanently . " " Grace has been caught ? " Catherine''s eyes suddenly widened . " When did this happen ?

" " Yes , Grandfather can''t return and said I have full authority to handle the matter . Grandmother has also been notified . " Catherine sighed . " Your grandmother has only just left the hospital .


    I''m concerned that informing her might … " After a pause , Catherine continued with a furrowed brow , " Your grandmother has always doted on Grace .
