Hearing this, Grace was completely at a loss.
She had to admit she had truly let wolves into her home.
“Fine. I’ll admit that you’ve finally scared me.”
Grace closed her eyes, a faint, almost imperceptible sigh escaping her lips.
“No matter what you intend to do, I’m warning you—do not touch the Walton family.
“Otherwise, I can’t guarantee what I might end up doing.”
By the final sentence, Grace’s tone turned cold and menacing.
She had to cut off their delusions completely.
She could not allow them to harbor even the slightest thought of laying a hand on Walton Corporation.
“What else do you think you can do?”
Sean looked at Grace’s last-ditch struggle and found it rather amusing.
“You should know my methods very well.”
At those words, Grace opened her eyes.
“What do you mean by that?”
Sean sat down on the sofa without the slightest fear, carrying himself as if he were the master of the Walton household.
“If I remember correctly, Tessa should have mentioned it to you as well.”
Sean spoke slowly, each word deliberate, his tone dark and chilling. “We actually have a trump card. You don’t honestly think we came here empty-handed, do you?”
“What trump card?”
Grace’s heart sank instinctively.
She had a growing sense that these two were far from simple.
And now, they were openly telling her they had a trump card.
That could only mean one thing—they were fully prepared.
The thought made unease creep into her chest.
Could it be that, in the end, Walton Corporation would really fall into their hands?
“You’d better take your time and think it through.”
