Five Years Wasted Now They Beg Her Back novel Chapter 227

On the way back to Jarrow City, Damien played the part of the perfect son-in-law to the extreme.

He served tea, poured water, and gave shoulder massages.

He even peeled an entire head of garlic for the grandfather, who said he wanted to eat it with his in-flight meal.

Watching the man who was usually so aloof now reeking of garlic and wearing a look that begged for praise, Grace's heart completely melted.

If this wasn’t love, what was?

The jet soared through the clouds.

It carried them away from a past filled with suffering and toward an unknown future.

Grace gazed out the window, her heart brimming with hope.

With him, and with her grandparents by her side, she wasn't afraid of whatever storms lay ahead.

However, life has a way of hitting you when you're at your happiest.

The moment the plane touched down at Jarrow City International Airport, before they could even take in the city's glamour, they were met with an intimidating atmosphere.

A motorcade of no less than twenty vehicles was waiting for them, a fleet of black SUVs.

The sheer scale of it was startling.

But the person standing at the front wasn't the usual cheerful vice president.

It was the Clarke family's chief legal officer, Mr. Peterson.

His expression was grave, and he clutched a thick stack of documents in his hand.

The moment he saw Damien, he couldn't help but tremble slightly.

"Mr. Clarke! You're finally back!"

The smile vanished from Damien's face.

He let go of Grace's hand and gently straightened her collar.

"What is it?"

His voice was quiet but carried a bone-chilling coldness.

Mr. Peterson wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"There's been trouble."

"Your uncle's son, Julian, is back."

Damien narrowed his eyes.

Julian?

That useless cousin of his who was studying art in Valeria?

"What's he back for? A funeral? His old man isn't dead yet."

Damien scoffed, his tone dripping with disdain.

Mr. Peterson swallowed hard, his voice dropping even lower.
