“Let them come up,” she said faintly.
Chloe paused. “Ms. Hart?”
“To my office.”
With that, Grace walked back to her desk and sat down.
Soon, the office door was shoved open violently.
Mr. Hart and Lucian stormed in.
Seeing Grace in her custom-tailored suit and the spacious, bright office behind her, Mr. Hart’s eyes instantly turned red with rage.
“Grace!”
He rushed to her desk and slammed his palm on it.
“Look at you now! Living in a mansion, running a company! Have you completely forgotten about your family?!”
Grace lifted her eyes, her gaze calm as she looked at him.
“If you have something to say, say it.”
Her cold attitude completely infuriated Mr. Hart.
He began his performance, bursting into crocodile tears.
“Grace! Are you just going to stand by and watch your grandfather’s life’s work go bankrupt?”
“Your grandfather founded the Hart Group! Now the company is in trouble! How can you, his granddaughter, refuse to help?”
“You’re so rich now! The loose change in your pocket would be enough to get the family through this crisis! How can you be so cold-blooded! So heartless!”
He wailed, as if Grace were some unforgivable criminal.
Lucian stood to the side with his arms crossed, adding his own sinister remarks.
“Grace, I suggest you think this through.”
“Don’t forget your last name is Hart! What good will it do you if the company collapses?”
“Do you really think the Clarke family will want a woman who abandons her own family? If word gets out, what will happen to your reputation?!”
One used emotional blackmail, the other a mix of threats and persuasion.
Grace looked at them and suddenly found it laughable.
When she was framed by Lilian, abandoned by Ethan, and pushed down the stairs by their own hands, why didn’t they remember she was a Hart then?
When she needed the warmth of family most, did they offer her even a single shred of it?
