Five Years Wasted Now They Beg Her Back novel Chapter 469

Exactly like Lilian all those years ago.

“About the partnership,” Grace said, closing the file, “I’ll need to think about it.”

“I hope to hear good news from you soon, Mrs. Clarke.” Serena flashed a smile and turned to leave.

At the door, she paused, looking back at Grace with a meaningful expression.

“By the way, Mrs. Clarke, I hear your husband is Damien? How enviable. But… life among the rich is a treacherous sea. You’d best be careful not to drown.”

With that, she swept out of the room.

“Pah!”

Ivy spat figuratively at her retreating back. “What a piece of work! She’s so fake she gives me a headache. Grace, that woman is definitely bad news! Did you see the look in her eyes? It’s like she wanted to eat you alive!”

Grace stared at the file, lost in thought.

“I know.”

After Serena left, Ivy didn’t stay long, rescheduling her visit to the Clarke villa for another day. It was clear that this Serena woman meant trouble, and she knew Grace would want to go home and discuss it with Damien.

That evening, at the Clarke family’s villa.

After putting Gianna to sleep, Grace took a shower.

When she came out of the bathroom, she saw Damien sitting on the edge of the bed, holding a letter.

“It’s from Cassian.”

Grace froze for a moment.

She knew Cassian wasn’t doing well.

But her assistant had told her that Cassian never cashed the check.

She had assumed he still blamed her.

Blamed her for the fall of the Hart family.

Grace walked over and took the letter.

“I had someone look into it,” Damien said, naturally kneeling on the bed to massage her shoulders. “A woman did go to the bookstore today. It seems she tried to bribe Cassian, but he refused.”

Grace held the letter and glanced back at Damien.

Damien gave her a reassuring nod.

Grace turned back, a quiet melancholy settled over her as she stared at the familiar handwriting.

She hadn’t expected Cassian to refuse Serena Shum.
