Chapter 24
Grace didn’t expect that even after Amanda’s intervention, Howard would remain so steadfast.
There was no choice, she could only return to the Brown Family and wait for Howard to calm down before figuring out a way to return to the Logan Family.
Learning that Sally had returned to Bomsville, her heart hadn’t been at ease, and her urgency to enter the Logan Family grew.
“Grace, you’re finally back! How did it go?”
May eagerly approached Grace from the door, her expression still showing some concern.
Grace shook her head and whispered, “Amanda believed me and forgave me, but Howard refuses to let me see Rina.”
“If Amanda believes you, then that’s a good thing. Howard will come around slowly,” May consoled in a gentle voice.
Grace nodded, still feeling somewhat down.
“However, where is your father? Make sure not to mention it because of the company’s matters. He’s currently in the study, quite angry. Go and see him, comfort him a bit, so he won’t say that we don’t care about the company or him.”
“Alright!” Grace nodded and headed for the study room.
Inside the study room.

Jackson sat on a mahogany chair, his face gloomy. And an aura of suppressed anger surrounded him, making the atmosphere in the study oppressive.
“Dad!”
Jackson glanced at her but didn’t pay her any attention.
Grace approached and placed the cup of coffee she was holding on the table. “Dad, are you still angry because of J Group’s matter?”
“A newly established small company dares to step on me,” Jackson fumed.
In Bomsville, his pharmaceutical company was dominant, and it was the first time someone dared to challenge him like this. How could he not be angry?
“Dad, we’ve already filed a lawsuit and issued a warning to them, right?”
If it were any other small company, they would have been scared out of their wits.
“Hmph!” Jackson snorted coldly. “They’ve hired Join. They don’t even consider us important and have obtained a list of our medications.”
“Join? That famous lawyer?” Grace’s eyebrows furrowed.
Jackson responded irritably, “Who else but her?”
Join had returned to the country not long ago and signed with the Justice Law Firm, right?
Just a couple of days ago, ZK International had acquired the

Justice Law Firm.
Grace’s expression turned grim as she thought about Howard’s warning just now.
Could it be Howard’s intention?

Jackson looked at Grace, noticing her unpleasant expression, and asked in confusion, “Do you know this Join?”
“I don’t know her,” Grace blurted out nervously, realizing her reaction was too extreme. She quickly composed herself and explained, “Join was quite famous overseas, and I’ve heard some rumors about her. I didn’t expect her to return to the country.”
Join was Howard’s person. Grace definitely couldn’t let her
father know.
If her father found out that it was because of something she did to harm Rina and provoke Howard, this would be Howard’s retaliation against the Brown Family. Her father would definitely not forgive her.
Without the identity of the Brown Family’s young miss, even if she was Rina’s mother, Amanda might not stand on her side
anymore.
Then her hope of returning to the Logan Family would be even more hopeless.
Jackson didn’t pay her any attention and glanced at her with dissatisfaction, “How are things between you and Mr. Logan? When does Mr. Logan plan to marry you? Rina has grown so much already. Are you waiting to have a wedding together with Rina?”

Having reached for the high branch of the Logan Family, he had been waiting for over a decade, but he didn’t expect it to still be a distant dream.
“Dad, it’s coming soon. Howard said Rina’s condition has just improved and it’s not suitable for a big celebration. He said we’ll have the wedding as soon as Rina’s condition stabilizes completely,” Grace said with a smile, although she felt uneasy.
Although Jackson still had some dissatisfaction, he didn’t say much more. “Hurry up,” he said.
“Yes, Dad, don’t worry. I will,” Grace assured him.
Justice Law Firm.
Grace strode in, determined to find out whether it was Howard’s order or if Join took this private job.
“Excuse me, who are you looking for?” Kim approached and politely asked, blocking Grace’s path.
Grace smiled warmly and spoke softly, “I’m here to see your top lawyer, Join.”
Justice Law Firm now belonged to ZK International, and she would soon become the lady of ZK International.
Leaving a good impression on these people would also be helpful for her entry into the Logan Family.
“Join, this young lady is looking for you,” Kim called out when she saw Sally entering from outside the door.
Sally was still somewhat puzzled. Who would come to see her so early in the morning?

Grace turned around in surprise. She wanted to see who this Join really was, someone who dared to go against the Brown Family.
“Sally?” Grace called out in surprise.
Sally was also astonished. She didn’t expect Grace to show up
so soon. It seemed to be related to the lawsuit.
But this was exactly what she wanted.
Grace looked at her in disbelief. “Sally, are you Join?”
How could Sally be the famous lawyer Join?
She studied civil engineering in her previous profession and had nothing to do with the field of law.
She never thought that Sally would be Join.
So, she had already met Howard?
Did Howard acquire Justice Law Firm because of Sally?
Thinking about all this, Grace’s face turned cold, and her eyes became chilling, as if laced with poison.
“Grace, long time no see,” Sally greeted her with a smile.
In the face of Grace, she harbored endless hatred. Looking at her would remind her of the tragic scene six years ago when Jenny died, and the child died prematurely.
Grace clenched her fists and rushed forward. “Sally, you dare to come back?”
“Why wouldn’t I dare?” Sally smiled at her, but her smile didn’t

reach her eyes, it was cold and chilling.
“You killed Jenny, you killed my newborn child. If I don’t come back, how can I settle this score with you and your daughter?”
If it weren’t for wanting to make them suffer even more, she would tear her mouth apart right now..
“Just you? Haha.” Grace let out a cold laugh. She glanced at the familiar figure outside the door, her smile becoming even colder.
“Oh!”
Grace fell heavily to the ground, creating a commotion that caught the attention of everyone in the law firm.
They all leaned over, looking at the scene, completely unaware of what had happened.
Sally looked at Grace sitting on the ground and smiled with a mocking expression. Suddenly, she felt a chilling gaze coming from behind her.
Grace started sobbing, “Sally, I know you like Howard. I never intended to compete with you for Howard. It was you who didn’t want Howard and wanted to leave back then. If it makes you feel better to treat me like this, then I’ll accept it. But I hope you won’t hurt Howard anymore, okay?”
