She thrust the file against Albert’s chest with zero regard for courtesy.
“If you don’t believe me, then take a look for yourself.”
Albert had already been curious about what was in that folder.
Hearing Grace say that, he didn’t even bother minding her tone.
He grabbed the documents and started reading carefully, only to discover it all stemmed from that incident at First Light Hospital.
And now, on this recent trip abroad, his son had actually tried to inject Aurora with some unknown drug?
Worse still, he’d been arrested overseas?
Grace had already known about that last part.
But she hadn’t imagined he’d actually been locked up abroad–let alone for this.
If this ever got out, how was he supposed to face her afterward?
The very thought gave Albert a splitting headache.
As she watched him take the folder, Grace’s eyes never left his face
In the end, she noticed he didn’t look all that shocked about his son being in prison.
That could only mean one thing–this old bastard knew all along.
Her eyes darkened with fury.
But she forced herself to stay composed.
After all, this wasn’t the time or place to lose control.
She used to run an entire corporation.
If she couldn’t even rein in her temper here, that would be a joke.
Still keeping her voice level, Grace asked, “So, Mr. Albert–how do you propose we deal with this?
“It’s all written clearly right here—your son did this. What more do you think there is to defend?”
Grace’s words were like needles, stabbing Albert one after another.
At that moment, he felt truly humiliated.
He didn’t even know how to keep standing there.
His son really was a complete failure.
He hadn’t even been abroad that long and had already caused this much trouble.
What a joke.
“…” Albert licked his dry lips and spoke with unease, “Madam Grace, maybe there’s still something that hasn’t been clified?”
“It’s written out clearly. What exactly do you think is unclear?”
Grace sat there with one leg crossed over the other, red–soled heels gleaming, the image of unshakable dominance.
Her presence didn’t lose out to any man.

And in front of Albert, she clearly had the upper hand, especially since she had no intention of being polite today—her aura hit
harder than ever.
The curve of her lips widened, but there was no warmth in her eyes
“You’d better give me a proper explanation for this. Otherwise, we re done.”
Grace added coldly, “My eldest daughter’s vocal cords are ruined. My younger daughter’s been in a hospital bed for over a month. We had to move her from Ravenshore to Millford.
“Forget the manpower and resources involved–what about the pain they’ve suffered? The damage they’ve endured? You tell me, how are you going to make that right?”
Just hearing it made Albert’s knees go weak.
All he could feel now was regret.
Why hadn’t he forced Julian to come back when he still could?
If he had, none of this would be falling on him now.
And honestly, some of it… he truly didn’t know.
Albert stood there, at a loss for how to defend himself.
In the end, he opened his mouth and muttered weakly, “Madam Grace, I… I honestly didn’t know about any of this.”
