“Look at you, now you’re like a hysterical shrew, completely devoid of any ladylike virtue! Grace, you know, I have a wife, I can’t give you the status you want, now, how dare you accuse me!”

These were the words spoken by the man she deeply loved, utterly steeped in sarcasm.

Grace’s eyes turned red, her emotions surged, and a sense of hatred welled up within her.

Aware that he had been harsh, yet reluctant to discard Grace as a pawn, James softened his stance, holding Grace tightly and soothing her with gentle words.

“I know you defended me and stuck your neck out for me, but I feel sorry for you. You had a rare opportunity to sit in the HR Director’s position, and yet you were easily pulled down by Daniel. I think Daniel is despicable.

I also know that you’re reluctant to see me go to the Kingdom of Dale, and I don’t want to leave you either. I don’t want us to be apart, but this is temporary, I will surely come back.

You must hold on at Marshall Corporation and cooperate with me. When we jointly seize actual control, and I become the chairman and CEO of Marshall Corporation, I will definitely divorce my wife. The one I love is you, the marital alliance was simply a forced arrangement by the family.”

Grace ignored James.

James immediately took out a diamond necklace and put it on Grace himself.

“Grace, I really am in a difficult situation, I’m not only on guard against my wife but also Michael and his son. I’m having a hard time, if anything goes wrong, I’m dead. Do you want to see me dead? I want to be with you openly too, I want to tell the world, you are the woman I, James, love the most.”

Grace’s eyes were welled up with tears, looking at James with a mixture of trust and doubt.

Her heart ached too, of course she couldn’t bear to lose James.

Seeing Grace hesitate, that her heart was wavering, James continues his sugar-coated bombardment.

“Grace, I’m actually in a difficult situation myself, I don’t want you to stick your neck out, I’m trying to protect you. I worry someone else will hurt you because of me. You also need to be careful at Marshall Corporation, Michael and his son will definitely keep a close eye on you, or even make things difficult for you.”

“Grace, are you still angry, hating me? Then go to Michael and expose me. This way you can get promoted, even if I die at your hands, I would be content.”

Crying, Grace held James tight, “Stop talking about death, I don’t want you to die.”

Holding Grace tightly in his arms, James finally let out a sigh of relief, having managed to soothe her, “I promise you, I won’t die, I will marry you and make you Mrs. Marshall. To avoid suspicion from Michael and his son, we should not meet each other for a while. During the New Year, you can go abroad, I will definitely accompany you.”

Inside James’s arms, Grace nodded.

She loved this man, she still couldn’t leave him.

She forgave him again and continued to help him take over the Marshall Corporation.

The next morning, Daniel came, and Adam quickly walked into the CEO’s office.

“Daniel, I’ve sent the enhanced photos to Philip Lee. He recognized Zheng Enxi’s crescent birthmark as the same one he had seen years ago, although it has faded a lot. Grace Ziegler’s looks do resemble the little girl’s, but Philip Lee isn’t sure if Zheng Enxi is that little girl.”

Daniel knitted his brows slightly, his jet-black eyes flashing with a barely visible fluctuation, “Have you found out about her background?”

Adam nodded, “Her father’s name is Luke Ziegler, who indeed has been dead for many years. The section for her mother was left blank, probably intentionally. It seems like I need to go to Binzhou in person.”
