Chapter <b>1047 </b>


    Once everything was settled, Albert finally let out a sigh of relief.


    Meanwhile, Grace didn’t hesitate for a moment.


    After returning home, she brought an entire convoy of bodyguards with her, even more than she had the


    first time she visited the Hayes residence.


    This time, she came with the firm resolve to take Julian away, no matter what.


    Too much time had already passed. Today, she had to make a decision.


    Rather than waste another minute, she’d rather put her energy into something that actually mattered.


    Julian had already crossed the line.


    Tessa looked at Grace and could clearly see the determination in her eyes.


    She didn’t say anything–she knew this time, the Hayes family wasn’t going to get away.


    Grace might be polite, but she wasn’t stupid.


    Was she really supposed to smile and y nice with the people who had hurt her daughter?


    Of course not. There was no chance she would show the Hayeses any kindness now.


    The butler was standing at the gate, and the moment he saw the Walton convoy approaching again,


    panic set in.


    He quickly shut the gate and ran back to inform Albert.


    “Sir, they’re back! What should we do?”


    Albert felt a jolt in his chest.


    He thought the storm had passed, but clearly, the ending hadn’t changed after all.


    The butler was so shaken he could barely think.


    He stammered, “Sir, I got a look–there are more of them this time.


    “There was only one car the first time. Now there are three.”


    By the end, his voice was trembling.


    It was obvious who the people in the other two vehicles were.


    This time, they were clearly here to tear the whole ce apart.


    If they couldn’t find Julian, there was no way they’d let this go.


    Albert knew that all too well.


    His thin lips pressed into a tight line as panic rose in his chest.


    This time, the Hayes family was truly finished.


    He shut his eyes for a moment, looked at the sealed gate, and finally gave up resisting.


    “Just open it. No need to invite more damage.”


    The butler didn’t understand what Albert meant.


    Were they really giving up just like that?


    Or had they already decided to do nothing at all?


    At this point, even the butler began to resent Julian.


    Why did he have to leave when everything was still under control?


    If they had just handed him over, this whole mess would’ve been over.


    After all, he was the one who caused it–what was there to argue about?


    Just as the butler was about to open the gate, a group of burly bodyguards mmed it open from the outside.


    His hand froze in mid–air.


    So that was what Albert meant.


    Turned out, he still had a lot to learn.


    He didn’t have Albert’s level of experience.


    Seeing it unfold, Albert wasn’t surprised in the slightest, if anything, he had expected exactly this.


    He knew Grace’s temper–fiery and unrelenting.


    There was no way she’d show up without making a statement.


    They had known each other long enough–he understood her well.


    As the gate burst open, the bodyguards quickly spread out, leaving a clear path in the middle for the main yers to enter.


    Grace<b>, </b>nked by Tessa, slowly walked through the center,


    The moment Albert saw Grace’s expression, he knew that she hade ready for a fight.


    Judging by her posture, there was no chance she would leave without a resolution today.
