Grace let out a cold snort and sat down on the sofa with bold defiance. “My patience is limited. You’d better go get him out here


    now.


    “As for trespassing, you’re wee to call the police. I’ll dly deal with them.”


    Grace had never been afraid of confrontation, but she didn’t seek it either.


    But now that these people had pushed her to,the edge, how could she possibly stay quiet?


    She had only two precious daughters, and both had been hurt by their son.


    Did they really think they could just y dumb and walk away unscathed?


    Their son might be out of his mind, but they still had a father and a mother.


    And behind them, a family and a corporation.


    None of this was make–believe.


    They were all adults, and sooner orter, they’d have to pay for their actions.


    Sitting here doing nothing and refusing to acknowledge the truth wouldn’t lead anywhere good.


    Carol stood frozen, trembling where she was, unsure of what to do in the face of Grace’s dominance.


    She was nothing more than a pamperedlite who had never dealt with the business world.


    Let alone involved herself in anymercial dealings.


    She knew full well that if she tried to interfere, Albert would only grow suspicious.


    So, it was better to remain on the sidelines.


    That was exactly why Grace’s aura overwhelmed herspletely.


    They weren’t even operating on the same level.


    “I really don’t know anything… There’s no point pressuring me like this…”


    Carol used every ounce of strength she had just to get that full sentence out.


    “I’m just a woman who’s never touched business. Even if you question me to death, I won’t have any answers.”


    Grace finally understood–Carol was ready to throw in the towel.


    Either way, it wasn’t going to affect her.


    Driving her away would simplify everything.


    Grace crossed her arms and sneered, scanning her from head to toe. “Are you sure you still want to keep pretending?”


    Carol’s eyes flickered as she feigned ignorance.


    “I told you, I don’t know anything.”


    That was exactly the n in her mind.


    As long as they couldn’t find Albert, Grace and her people would probably leave. And truthfully, she didn’t know anything


    anyway.


    Besides, they were looking for Albert—what was the point of making things hard for her?


    At that moment, Albert was upstairs secretly observing everything


    He had also kept Julian close by, afraid he might suddenly run downstairs and mess things up.


    He and Carol shared the same thought.


    If they couldn’t find him, Grace and her entourage would likely leave.


    He waspletely cornered now, with no other option but to hide.


    Albert was surviving in the cracks.


    Already overwhelmed with anxiety, he turned his head and saw his son crouched on the floor like a fool, fiddling with something unknown.


    Frustration surged within him, and he kicked Julian without warning, growling in a low voice, “All you do is y with useless crap. Just like youpletely useless.”


    Julian didn’t respond after being kicked.


    His gaze darkened, long bangs falling over his eyes, perfectly concealing the vicious glint within them.


    Albert had always been like this–insisting he was never wrong, cing the me on everyone else.


    He didn’t necessarily fight others head–on, but he always made sure to shift all responsibility away from himself.
