Chapter 440: Chapter 440 Boss, the Lady Has Been Kidnapped Chapter 440: Chapter 440 Boss, the Lady Has Been Kidnapped Grace Gray stood there for a few seconds, seemingly conflicted.
Quietly, she pulled her wallet from her bag and started to take out all the cards, as if making a tough decision, and placed them on the table.
“Auntie, I haven’t touched the money you gave . I was planning to save it and eventually return it to you, but since you ntioned it today, I will return it now. I’m very sorry Aunt Williams, for causing trouble, I’m leaving.”
“This…” Alitzel Williams picked up the cards from the table, at a loss for words, “Don’t go, you haven’t touched any of this money?”
Grace Gray bit her lower lip, her eyes brimming with tears as she nodded, “I know you’ve been kind enough to , Aunt Williams, and I dare not ask for more. I’m returning all these to you.”
Alitzel Williams fell silent, the guilt evident in her eyes. She held Grace’s hand tighter, “Silly girl, why be so foolish? If you don’t use the money I gave you, how will you get by? Don’t leave, no matter what I say today, I won’t let you go.”
Hope Williams remained silent for a mont, Alitzel’s gaze on her filled with reproach.
“Dad, I’ve already decided, what you say now doesn’t matter.”
The old man’s temples throbbed noticeably.
Hope Williams slightly raised her eyebrows, “Since Mom has decided, our words are futile, but mom, I have already found new tutors for Luke and Willow. Miss Gray doesn’t need to co anymore.”
“Why? Yesterday’s incident has nothing to do with …” Grace Gray asked anxiously, quickly looking at Alitzel Williams for help.
“If I am the lady of the house, I don’t need to explain myself for dismissing a tutor.”
Before, she had kept Grace Gray around for the sake of Alitzel Williams, but now, how could she feel comfortable leaving her own children around this calculating person?
Hope Williams was resolute, effectively silencing any response from Alitzel Williams.
Alitzel Williams had no choice but to keep quiet.
Hope Williams then turned to the old man, “Grandfather, since Luke and Willow are still at ho, I will leave first.”
“Okay.” The old man nodded.
After speaking, Hope Williams quickly left.
Grace Gray looked down, tears falling heavily, “Aunt Williams, does Mrs. Lewis have sothing against ? Is that why she keeps making things difficult for , not agreeing to let tutor Luke and Willow?”
“Don’t think too highly of yourself; Hope Williams doesn’t have the ti to hassle you. She simply looks down on you.” The old man scoffed coldly, motioning for soone to wheel him away.
Alitzel Williams comfortingly soothed the teary Grace Gray, “Don’t cry; the old man still has so misunderstandings about you. It will be better after so ti, don’t be sad.”
“Thank you, Aunt Williams, you’re the only one in the whole world who treats best.”
Alitzel Williams patted Grace’s hand, “If I’ve accepted you as my foster daughter, why are you still calling Aunt?”
Grace pressed her lips together and timidly called out, “Mom.”
“Sigh, Grace, mom will protect you from now on.” Alitzel Williams looked at Grace affectionately, “I’ve prepared a room for you upstairs, go see if you like it. If not, I’ll have it redone to your liking.”
Moved, Grace nodded her head, Alitzel instructed soone to take Grace upstairs. The old man was visibly upset, and Alitzel headed back to see him.
The room Alitzel arranged for her was on the third floor; the servant led Grace up.
Grace looked around continuously, “Where is my room?”
“It’s on the far left; we’re almost there.”
Grace turned in a circle, her gaze falling on the intricately carved double doors in the center, and she pushed them open directly, the servant hurriedly intervened, “Miss Gray.”
Grace paused, “What’s wrong?”
“This is the master and mistress’s room. They don’t like others entering. Even for cleaning, only specific servants are allowed in,” the servant imdiately stopped her.
Grace snorted and rolled her eyes at the servant, “What does it matter if I just take a look? They’re not here now, and I’m now a Miss Lewis too, is there any room I can’t enter? You’re just a servant, you’re not in a position to command .”
The servant paused, then lowered his head, silently
Just latched onto the Lewis family and already playing the lady of the house, Grace decided to go inside.
“Miss Gray…”
“Grace Gray!” A stern voice called out, and soone yanked her out.
Wyatt Lewis’s face was stern, his gaze icy as it fell on Grace, “Who do you think you are? How dare you barge into my brother and sister-in-law’s room? This is the Lewis family; know your place.”
Grace blinked, tears imdiately falling, “I’m sorry, I didn’t know, she didn’t tell this room was for President Lewis and his wife, I was just curious, I’m sorry.”
The servant’s mouth twitched, as this woman clearly lied without batting an eye.
Wyatt Lewis glared at her, “Don’t think that just because my mom took you in as a foster child you can do whatever you want. Sooner or later, I will have you thrown out.”
Grace lowered her head, sobbing quietly.
Wyatt Lewis closed the door, his scornful snort echoing as he turned and left.
Once Wyatt Lewis was gone, Grace imdiately stopped sobbing, turning her head and glaring fiercely at the servant, “You did that on purpose, didn’t you? Why didn’t you stop just now?”
“I already told you.” The servant couldn’t believe she had the audacity to say such things.
While she was cursing in her stomach, her face was suddenly slapped.
The maid let out a startled cry, “You…”
“You, a lowly maid, dare to talk back to ? Don’t you know your place?”
The maid had never suffered such humiliation; although they were maids in the Lewis Family, everyone there treated them kindly, and they had never been hit before, but this woman…
Seeing the maid staring at herself, Grace Gray scolded, “What are you looking at? Hurry and show to the room, or I’ll tell my mom to fire you!”
Although the maid felt wronged and unwilling, she knew Alitzel Williams doted on Grace Gray, and having witnessed Grace’s acting skills, she doubted anyone would believe her complaints and worried she might be dismissed from her hard-earned job. She couldn’t afford to lose it.
The maid clenched her teeth, swallowed her pride, and gestured for Grace to follow her with a wave of her hand.
Grace Gray followed the maid to the room.
“Miss Gray, this is the room madam has prepared for you.”
Grace Gray glanced at the maid, lifted her chin arrogantly, “Got it, you can leave now.”
As the maid was about to leave, Grace Gray stopped her, “You know what to say about your face.”
The maid touched her face, bit her lip unwillingly, and replied, “Yes.”
“Alright, you can go now.” Grace Gray waved her hand.
After the maid left, only Grace Gray remained in the room, who rushed to the dressing table and was thrilled at the sight of the jewelry Alitzel Williams had prepared for her.
It’s just that those credit cards Alitzel Williams hadn’t returned yet, and she was still feeling the pinch.
That was her own money, Alitzel Williams’s money had long since been used up; she earned that money with her own skills. Luckily, she had this money to help her avoid a calamity.
Hope Williams was much smarter and tougher to deal with than Alitzel Williams, but fortunately, she had successfully infiltrated the Lewis Family.
At that mont, her phone rang, and Grace Gray imdiately picked it up to reply.
The other person asked, “How are things going?”
“Do not worry, as you instructed, I have now successfully entered the Lewis Family.”
“Good, don’t forget what you were entrusted to do.”
“Rest assured, I’ll do exactly as you said, and the money…”
“I’ll deposit the money into your card, and I’ll give you more once the job is done.”
Grace Gray almost scread with excitent and hastily typed her reply, “Do not worry, I’ll do my job well.”
“Grace…” Alitzel Williams entered the room.
Grace Gray, startled, put down her phone quickly.
Alitzel Williams caught the panic on Grace’s face, and seeing her rigid expression, asked in confusion, “What’s wrong, Grace? Why are you so nervous?”
Grace snapped back to her senses, smiled naturally, and replied, “It’s nothing, just chatting with a friend. I might still be getting used to this place, and your sudden entry startled .”
Hearing her say this, Alitzel Williams did not think much of it, approached her tenderly and said, “I’ll arrange for soone to take you around the old mansion later, to get accustod.”
Grace Gray nodded gratefully, “Thanks, Mom.”
After leaving the old mansion, the sky had dimd, and Hope Williams decided to head straight ho.
Today, she had to admit that Grace Gray was more difficult to deal with than she had imagined; Alitzel Williams trusted her too much.
Fortunately, she would not appear in front of Luke and Willow again; she would think about the next steps later.
Just as Hope Williams had been driving for five minutes, a car quickly cut in front of her.
The car was still so distance away, giving her ti to react; Hope Williams quickly applied the brakes.
She instinctively lunged forward because of the montum but was saved by the seatbelt. As she looked up, two n had already appeared by her car, one of them pulled open her door and unbuckled her seatbelt, “Miss, no offense.”
Hope Williams had no ti to scream as they were too fast; she could only quickly grab her phone and hold it tightly in her palm.
“Who are you?”
The two n forcefully dragged her into their car. Hope Williams quickly glanced at her phone and inadvertently dialed a number with the hand she hid behind her.
She didn’t know who she had dialed, just hoped the person would answer.
Hope Williams forced herself to stay calm.
“The old master wants to et you, please co with us.”
She roughly knew who the “old master” they ntioned was.
She laughed bitterly – a request? It was clearly an abduction.
Wyatt Stone’s car followed behind Hope Williams. Seeing her being pulled into the car, Wyatt Stone pressed the gas pedal hard and followed, putting on a Bluetooth headset to call Waylon Lewis.
“Boss, the madam has been kidnapped.”
