Five Years Wasted Now They Beg Her Back novel Chapter 313

The line went dead.

Grace was trembling all over.

*What do I do?*

*Call the police?*

*Yes, the police.*

With a shaking hand, she dialed a familiar number—Elliot.

Elliot had recently been transferred to Jarrow City’s Criminal Investigation Division and was one of her few friends.

“Hey, Grace?” Elliot’s voice was tinged with surprise. “I saw the news, you absolutely killed it in Cardenia…”

“Elliot, help me.”

Grace’s voice was broken. “Julian kidnapped my grandmother… Please, save her…”

Elliot’s tone instantly turned serious. “Don’t panic. Tell me everything, slowly.”

Ten minutes later, Grace hung up with Elliot.

But she didn’t feel the slightest bit of relief.

She knew that if Julian dared to make a move, he must have been fully prepared.

A standard police deployment would take time, and during that time, her grandmother could…

She couldn’t bear to think about it.

In this world, at this critical moment, there was only one person who could suppress Julian with the utmost speed, one person who could even make him hesitate.

Damien.

The man she had just told to never contact her again.

Grace found the number saved only as a period.

The phone rang twice before it was picked up.

“Grace?”

Damien’s voice was uncertain.

“Damien…”

“I’ve already had Felix start tracking his location. I’ll also coordinate with Elliot’s team. I’m at the airport now, about to fly back to Jarrow City.”

“You’re… you’re at the airport?”

“Yes.” Damien paused. “I was about to leave when you called. Grace, listen to me. Stay in Verstein. Don’t go anywhere. I’ll handle things here. You… trust me, just this once. Please?”

“I…”

“Listen to me!” Damien interrupted her, his tone sterner than ever before. “Julian is a cornered animal right now. If you come back, you’ll only complicate things. Leave it to me. As long as I’m still breathing, I won’t let anything happen to your grandmother.”

“And,” his voice softened, laced with a hint of pleading, “don’t agree to any of Julian’s conditions, and don’t try to act on your own.”

After hanging up, Grace collapsed into a chair, limp.

*Should I trust him?*

But… she couldn’t just sit back and wait.

That was her grandmother. She couldn’t hide in another country and pin all her hopes on someone else.

Grace wiped her tears, her expression hardening with resolve.
