Chapter 159
“Yes, it’s me. Didn’t expect it, did you? I really didn’t want to resort to such extreme measures, but now I have no other choice. If someone has to go to hell, it must be you. Even if you die, it has to be before me,” Grace said darkly.
Grace knew she couldn’t leave Ardbert City unscathed, so if she had to gamble, she might as well drag someone down with her.
As for the scar–faced man, she had met him by chance.
After Harry went to prison, Grace escaped a crisis and quickly climbed back into the old man’s favor, living a glamorous life once more.
Grace had gone to the prison to taunt Harry, relishing the sight of him spitting blood in anger.
Grace said, “Harry, did you really think I loved you? From the moment you joined the Willow family, I had my eye on you. I only wanted to take what Ella had. I didn’t expect you to be so easy to handle. Seeing you betray Ella for me, do you know how pleased I was”
“I also had a bet on you. Although you’re a bastard of the Rhys family, at least they acknowledged you, so you’d get a share of the family fortune, right? Being with you would be better than living under someone else’s roof. But you were so lucky that you directly inherited the Rhys family. I thought my good days had come, but what did you do? You tried to kick me aside and be with Ella
“Do you know how much I hated you at that moment? I wanted to kill you. After that, my Feelings for you were all pretense. Those other men. though they mistreated me, at least they were better than you in bed.”
“Every time with you made me sick. I had to perform so hard in bed. Do you how suck you are in bed?
“I knew the child wasn’t yours. I altered the report to make it look like the child was yours. There was a significant risk, but I did it because I wanted to see you raise someone else’s child
Harry, I’ve used the same methods to please you, but with someone else now. Look how powerful 1 am. You’ve been cheated on by me all along. If I were you, I’d just die.”
Harry stood on the other side of the glass, his face turning pale with rage. He couldn’t catch his breath and then suddenly spat our blood, collapsing on the ground
If he didn’t die now, he’d be left half–dead.
Grace left the prison triumphantly and coincidentally ran into a man just released from prison, penniless and unable to even buy a meal. Grace observed him for several days and noticed that he struggled to find a job due to his criminal record and appearance, being looked down on by others
At this time, Grace generously offered him a place to stay and a stable job
From then on, the man was grateful to her and would do anything for her when needed.
Ella had Jaden’s men around her, making it difficult for Grace to capture Ella
She thought
of Devin at the nursing home, where it would be easier to get him. So Crace had Devin abducted.
She knew Ella would come regardless of the danger.
Seeing Ella now panicking made her happy
After all these years, Grace finally felt some relief.
Grace asked, “Ella, do you want to save your grandfather?”
Ella said, “Yes. What will it take for you to let him go I’ve been fighting with you all these years. Whatever you want, come at me. Grandpa has been good to you. Don’t harm him.”
ah
Grace said. “Good to me! He adopted me and gave me a lame, laut I was essentially a servant. I’m just a toy for you, needing to keep you happy, and being cautious in this house. I’ve lived in constant fear”
Ella said, “That’s what you think. No one forced you to be this way. You and I could have been like sisters. But you’re narrow–minded, always feeling like everyone in the world is against you. Haven’t we been exceptionally kind to you? We have no obligation to support you and pay for education. You enjoy the benefits of the Willow family, yet you still complain. Is this how you belave?
your
Grace’s face turned red with anger.

She couldn’t understand why Ella, despite being a noble lady, could be so harsh.
“If you say another word. I’ll kill him?” Grace shouted
Furious, Grace grabbed the knife from the scar–faced man and aimed it at Devin’s chest
was in her mouth.
Ella’s heart was in
She quickly intervened and said, “Wait, Grace. I’m here now. If you want to take revenge, do it on me directly. You know Grandpas bealth as not good. If something happens to him it’s on you. But if you let Grandpa go and use me as a hostage, you can torture me howevery
be rash. The person you truly hate is me, so come after me.”
Ella stepped forward.
She intentionally provoked Grace, increasing her chances of success in negotiating for a new hostage.
Grace thought for a moment and found the reasoning sound. “Have her bound”
– So, don’t
Ella said, “Wait, send Grandpa away first. I came alone, powerless, and easy to control. But if Grandpa doesn’t leave safely, I won’t surrenderexdly. 1 took a taxi here, and it’s still outside. Let Grandpa get in the car, or else we’ll be left with no options.”
Grace considered and decided to release Devin
The moment Devin got into the taxi, Ella was captured.
The scar–faced man used a grapple to choke her, and she struggled to breathe, the sensation of suffocation overwhelming her.
“Have her kneel” Grace shouted.
The scar–faced man kicked Ella behind her knees, forcing her to kneel on the ground.
Grace laughed with satisfaction, pointing at her. “Ella, look at you now,”
Ella said. “Let me guess why you’re so desperate. Did you get caught cheating on your lover? You couldn’t escape, so you had no choice but to deal with me!”
“How did you know? Could it be.” Grace looked at her in shock.
Ella said. “Of course, it’s me. Next time, try to make sure things are more certain before you act. You’re showing your true colors with your desperation. How foolish can you bet And do you really believe Gary would marry you! Everyone knows you slept with an old man. To outsiders. you’re just a social butterfly who anyone can have. Gary is just deceiving you. Once you help him gain the inheritance, he will definitely kick you aside. So you should thank me. Otherwise, your fate would be even worse. But you won’t get another chance.
Ella laughed at Grace,
Her radiant face, charming red lips, and every expression made Ella seem like a disastrous beauty.
Despite her current predicament, her beauty still shone.
Grace, enraged, slapped her hard.
Ella tasted blood in her mouth but didn’t care.
She had never planned to leave this place alive.
Whether she lived or died, she didn’t care anymore, as long as she could save Devin.
Devin could no longer blame her for his son’s death.
Now, Ella was returning her life to him
As for the child, Ella felt immense guilt. She was really looking forward to the baby. They were connected by a strong umbilical cord, and she provided blood, oxygen, and nutrients to him.
This is
intimate bloodline connection was something Devin couldn’t provide.
But now, it w
now, it was all coming to an end
Ella closed her eyes, resignedly waiting for Grace to kill her,

“You brought people with you!” Grace looked panicked
Ella glanced back.
