Chapter 78 Torture by the Old Scar
When Beatrice heard this, all she could feel was hopelessness. She gritted her teeth angrily.
"They are Christian's grandparents, the founders of the Patterson Group! You are screwed..."
Never had she ever thought that the old lady dressed like a nurse was actually Christian's grandma.
She was insane at the time!
The woman on the other side of the phone went silent for a while, and then her tone became sharp.
"We are both screwed. You only gave me a photo, and you didn't tell me who it was. If you don't give me money, I'll turn myself in, and you won't get away with it either!"
Beatrice felt a little panicked when she heard this and said quickly, "Don't, don't turn yourself in, Mom. You've got to help me!"
"Hmph, what are you afraid of? Those two old things know your secret. It's better if they are dead. Once they are gone, no one will know what happened three years ago. Give me the money, and I'll leave right away. No one will suspect you!"
Beatrice's heart was beating violently as if she was falling into the abyss of desperation.
She choked and compromised.
"Fine, try your best to get away with it!"
She couldn't lose everything she had just obtained.
The third day, Anastasia learned in the company that Grace was in a coma and that Chad was likely to become a vegetable.
She couldn't suppress her grief and went to the hospital several times. Every time she got there, and she would run into Christian.
Because of what had happened to Grace and Chad, she was not as cynical as before, but she was not enthusiastic either.
A few times, Beatrice saw Christian walk her out of the hospital.
But this time, Beatrice showed up at the hospital as soon as she arrived.
She stood there weakly, looking at Anastasia innocently.
"Ms. Graves, shall we talk?"
