Dennis walks over and pulls Grace's ears, "You want me to beat you up?"
"Beat me to death if you dare," retorts Grace. She doesn't want to have to quietly do all those pointless
stuff anymore anyway.
"You…" Dennis is so furious he can't say a word.
"I don't want to live anymore, I'm better off dead if I have to be with that old man every day!" Grace
yells on the top of her lungs at Dennis.
Seeing his daughter so out of control, he decides to ignore her and says, "Do whatever you want."
Grace's mother squats down and comforts her, she then says, "Why do you choose to make your
father angry? Go back to Augus's side now."
Nobody ever listens to her, she is losing hope, nobody around her is ever sincerely nice to her. What
can she do?
Alex also hates her, he will never fall in love with her for as long as he lives. Why must she keep on
living in this case? Tears roll off her cheeks as she ponders about herself.
Grace goes up to the balcony when nobody's looking. Alex will never love her and her parents just use
her. With that thought in mind, she opens her arm and jumps.
This is probably where she belongs.
And now she's finally free.
Augus makes a few calls and goes back to the event, he then realizes that Grace is nowhere to be
found and she is not picking up his calls, he is slightly worried.
Suddenly, he receives a notification about a money transfer. Richard has told somebody to make him
an instant transfer.
Richard is so efficient when it comes to handling affairs, Augus feels a bit unhappy about it. But with
this, his company's crisis can be solved momentarily.
He is about to leave when all of a sudden Alex blocks his way, Alex says coldly, "Where did you hide
Miya?"
"Sorry, I don't understand what you are saying," Augus puts on an innocent act.
"Let me ask you this one more time, where did you hide her?" Alex's eyes flash killing intent, he might
really strangle the man before him to death if he isn't his biological father.
Augus continues putting on an act, he says indifferently, "Stop spouting nonsense, you are not going to
get the answers you want even if you kill me."
"Tell me your conditions," Alex can only bargain his way out, he is willing to sacrifice everything to save
Miya.
"I was going to discuss it with you before this, but now it is too late," Augus sounds arrogant.
Alex clenches his first, he tries to suppress his anger, "Tell me, what do you mean?"
"I mean what I said, now that your sister is successful, I have no need to rely on you anymore, just
concentrate on managing that failing company of yours," Augus puts on airs and leaves cockily after
saying that to Alex.
Alex is halted by some bodyguards as he is about to go up and stop Augus. Randy notices the situation
and tries to bring some people over.
Richard then walks over and he blocks everybody's way, he is obviously trying to ensure that Augus is
able to leave the venue.
Augus uses the opportunity to leave, he even manages to squeeze in a "thank you" to Richard before
he walks away.
These two are definitely in cahoots.
"I own this place and this is my engagement party, I hope that you can behave more politely," Richard
sounds courtly, but his tone of voice is also threatening. Though, Alex doesn't give a damn about him.
He walks up and plans to interrogate him harshly, but Randy stops him and whispers to his ears, "Mr.
President, he owns this place, let's not act rashly, they have more people than we do here."
But Alex doesn't seem to care, Randy has to use his trump card.
"I found Mrs. President in an abandoned wooden hut, we should hurry over."
Alex comes back to his senses and finally backs down, he leaves the venue frustratedly.
He can't wait to see her again, he rushes to Miya as quickly as he can, he doesn't want her to suffer
any pain or injury anymore.
But after a journey to the wooden hut, all he sees is a pile of rubbles and ashes.
Alex walks over agitatedly, the burnt smell is so strong and there are still sparks at the scene, the hut is
burned down very recently.
Fortunately, there is no sign of a human body.
But then, where can she be?
Alex is going crazy, Randy is also worried and afraid that the president will just snap any moment.
"Continue investigating, find out what happened here," Alex knows that he has to calm down and
handle this matter, otherwise things will go more haywire than it already is. He also has to comfort and
explain the situation to the children at home.
"Understood," Randy anxiously walks away.
It takes constant vigilance to stave off evil.
Alex stares at the burnt wood, he looks to the front resentfully, he is extremely distressed.
Miya, where are you?
At the engagement party, Aileen stands at the side feeling depressed. The guests are taking their
leave, she feels like the party has nothing to do with her.
She goes to the washroom to wash her face, when she gets out she is suddenly pulled to the side. She
then realizes that it is Aaron, her feelings complicated and indescribable, but to her surprise, she is kind
of happy about it.
"Why are you here?" Aileen can't believe her eyes, she sounds a bit excited.
Aaron is wearing a suit, he still looks as flippant as usual, he is wearing a baseball cap as if he's afraid
that someone might recognize him.
"There's something that I've been wanting to tell you," Aaron initially tries to walk through the front
entrance, but the security guards recognize him and forbid him from coming in. In the end, he has to go
through the backdoor to look for Aileen.
He doesn't want to believe that the two are getting engaged until he sees it with his own eyes.
