Chapter 1015
They were headed to the Hayes residence, and it was certain they’d be facing a war of words with those two.
Albert and Carol were no easy opponents.
Seeing the bodyguards Grace had brought along, Tessa finally understood her intention.
As expected, age brought wisdom.
When they arrived at the Hayes residence, Grace watched as Tessa got out of the car.
The bodyguards quickly positioned themselves around the mother and daughter, their presence imposing and aggressive, clearly not here for a friendly visit.
Tessa was pleased. Only with such force could she successfully call off the engagement.
And she didn’t have to worry about the Hayes family going back on their word.
Their purpose today was loud and clear.
If anything more was said, it would be a complete falling out.
Tessa held onto Grace’s arm as they walked ahead together.
The line of bodyguards followed behind in unison, marching straight into the house.
The Hayes family’s butler was frightened at the sight.
He went straight to the study to find Albert.
These past few days hadn’t been easy for Albert either.
The company had been pressuring him nonstop, especially now that everyone knew the Walton Corporation was pulling out of the partnership.
Many of their projects were tied to Walton, and Albert knew all too well that once the partnership ended, Hayes Corporation would quickly run dry.
There would be no future left.
The shareholders knew it too, and that was why they kept pressuring him.
On top of that, Julian had ended up in such a state–Albert was completely overwhelmed.
He didn’t even dare show up at the office because the moment he stepped in, those old vultures would swarm him with endless questions.
They kept urging him to finalize the marriage with the Walton family and kept asking why there were delays.
But truthfully, Albert had no solution at all.
So how was he supposed to explain himself to the shareholders?
He could only lock himself away in his room, shutting everyone out while trying to figure out a solution.
Carol hadn’t dared disturb him these past few days.
They had even started sleeping in separate rooms.
She’d been thinking that since
hadn’t shown up, perhaps the matter had blown over and there wouldn’t be any follow–up.
But after hearing what the butler said today, Carol’s nerves were back on edge.

As soon as she came downstairs, she saw Grace arriving with her imposing entourage.
Carol stammered, “Wh–what do you think you’re doing?”
She pointed at Grace, fear showing plainly on her face as she tried to steady her nerves. “This is trespassing on private property.”
just looking at those bodyguards–tall, broad–shouldered, all wearing dark sunglasses–sent a shiver down her spine.
