Five Years Wasted Now They Beg Her Back novel Chapter 137

“The Hart family brought this on themselves, Grace. You don't need to worry about it.”

Damien's tone was flat, as if he were discussing something perfectly ordinary.

Grace was silent for a moment.

“When the time comes, I suppose Cassian and the others will come begging me.”

“Yes,” Damien replied. “They’ll soon realize that threats and bribes are useless.”

“And then?”

Damien turned to glance at her, a cold smirk playing on his lips.

“Then, they’ll start playing the sympathy card.”

“After all, you’re their only lifeline.”

Grace’s lips curled into a humorless smile, her eyes icy.

Sympathy?

There was nothing like that left between them.

Just as Damien predicted.

After the initial panic of bankruptcy, the Hart family tried every possible method to contact Grace.

Mr. Hart swallowed his pride and called her dozens of times a day, but every call was blocked.

Cassian and Dorian tried to reach her through academic contacts, only to find that everyone in Grace’s circle completely ignored their requests.

Lucian even impulsively rushed to the Graceline Technologies building, trying to force his way in, but was politely “escorted” to the other side of the street by two security guards who were both six-foot-three.

Every path was blocked.

Meanwhile, Ethan wasn’t having an easy time either.

The Ward Group’s stock price had taken a major hit due to the scandal with the Hart family.

More importantly, Damien had begun to target him from all sides in the business world.

One by one, lucrative projects were snatched away. One by one, partners of many years turned on him.

Ethan was overwhelmed and utterly exhausted.

In the dead of night, the face that appeared in his mind was no longer Lilian’s pitiful expression.

It was Grace in her white lab coat, focused on her work.
