The Millionaire And His Billionaire Ex-Wife

Chapter 216
“What era is it now? Everyone already has the freedom to decide their own marriage. How could you set me up without asking
for my opinion!”
Grace quickly stood up, furious.
Ethan was speechless. He weakly reached out to pull her arm, but she avoided him.
He withdrew his hand and stroked his heard instead.
“My dear, I’ve already made the reservation. Why don’t you wait until you see Eder himself? He’s really not bad. He’s five years
older than you. You know I’m picky about people myself, but I got to like him, so I’m sure you’ll like him too.”
“Five years older is too old! I don’t like it!”
Grace wasn’t having it.
She had no intention of ever re-entering a relationship in the meantime, let alone getting engaged and married. She couldn’t
even think about it!
“Yes. He’s only twenty-eight years old. Is that really old? Isn’t your ex-husband five years older than you too?”
Grace choked, “This is different! This matter is not negotiable. You have to cancel this immediately!”
Ethan’s voice became even more h oa rse. “I can’t go back on my words. I already made the appointment yesterday. And Mr.
Grant and I agreed to announce your engagement at a banquet in three days.”
Grace took a deep breath and controlled her anger.
“I don’t care what kind of banquet you want to hold. You can’t revoke this marriage, can you? Then I’ll do it myself!”
She slammed the door angrily and left.
Ethan looked at her angry back and shook his head helplessly.
She was becoming more and more like her mother who had the same exact temperament. She had to have a man who could
tame her!
Grace went straight out of the garden.
The bodyguards were waiting at the door so she avoided them for now,
She was really angry and needed a few minutes to cool off. Eventually, she cleared her mind and was reminded that her father
was sick and his legs were not good. As his daughter, it was her duty to accompany him since she was now there.
So after a few more minutes of fresh air, she called a few bodyguards to go back to the hotel and pack her luggage. She planned
to move to the villa temporarily.
She stood at the door and thought about how to deal with the engagement.
After thinking about it for a long time, she noticed Uncle Lloyd standing beside her.

Grace called him over, “Uncle Lloyd, do you know where the Grant family’s house is?”
“Of course, Miss. May ask who you are looking for?”
Grace multered with a dark tone, “Eder Grant.”
Uncle Lloyd noticed her mood and he did not delay any more. He quickly wrote her the address.

Grace looked for it according to the addressL
The Grant family’s old housekeeper, Uncle Alfred, knew about Grace and Eder’s engagement, so he was very happy to welcome
her in
It was the first time that Grace had ever visited the Grant family.
The Grant family’s land was just as large, but unlike the Smith family, which was located on a mountain, it was more like they had
bought a plain. All the villas and houses were uniformly decorated in a retro style.
They even had bamboo forests, waterside pavilions, creeks, and rockeries.
The Grant family had always had the impression of that scholar-like sophistication, so coupled with their traditional architecture, it
seemed like they were one of the families who were still very connected with their old ancestors traditions and ideologies.
Grace felt as if he had walked into the mansion of an ancient rich man.
She followed Uncle Alfred around and finally came to Eder’s private villa.
Uncle Alfred only led her there and left.
Grace sat on the sofa in the living room and waited. It took a long time for a bodyguard to rush down and say.
“I’m sorry, Ms. Smith. I’m afraid Mr. Grant can’t come to see you.”
She frowned slightly
Ever since she entered, no ser vant had come to at least offer her water. This bodyguard could only
mean for her to leave.
It seemed that Eder was just as unhappy as her about this marriage.
Good thing that was exactly what she wanted.
“I see. But it doesn’t matter. I have plenty of time today. I can wait.”
“Ah, but...”
The bodyguard looked embarrassed. “I’m afraid he’ll be busy all day. Why don’t you... come back another day?”
Grace was a little unhappy. “Since I came here personally, I believe I have no reason to go back without seeing anyone at all.”
She suddenly stood up and went upstairs, avoiding the bodyguard.
“Miss Smith, are you aware of what you’re doing?”
“Since Mr. Grant has already arranged the marriage last night, then I must talk to my fiance. Do you have any opinions? Grace

asked with cold eyes.
“I- No”
She asked in a deep voice, “Which floor and which room is he in?”
“On the second floor, go to the innermost study room on the right.”
Grace was able to locate it easily when she went up because there were bodyguards at the entrance of the study.
She approached and was stopped yet again.
“Miss Smith, Mr. Grant is currently busy, and you can’t casually enter the study.”
Chapter 216
She was about to speak when the door opened from the inside. It was a man.
He had a large stature and was a little harulsome, but he had a mare mellow aura.
Sure enough, she noticed that he wore a uniform that was the same as the other two bodyguards. He wasn’t Eder.
It was only when he moved aside respectfully that she was able to get a clear view of the whole study.
There was a layer of amber head curtains in the middle of the room. Behind it was a desk, followed by a neat and crderly
bookshelf. The entire room was all books and dark tones.
A man sat on the office chair. The back of the chair was facing her, and she could only vaguely see the back of his head, but she
could still feel the cold aura he emanated.
Grace wanted to go in but was blocked by the bodyguards.
She let them block her and didn’t force an entry. After all, she was only there to talk about breaking the marriage contract, and
she wasn’t on her property to have the right to break in.
The man in the study coughed and cleared his throat before saying in a h oa rse voice, “Miss Smith came over today. What’s the
matter?”
This voice was as unpleasant as swallowing coal.
While on the road, Grace had already checked information about him.
He was tyrannical, cold, and cruel. It was rumored that he had a special hobby of abusing women. and that he had a disfigured
face.
She didn’t care whether the rumors that Eder liked to hit women were true or not. If it happened to her, she didn’t know who was
going to beat who.
However, just listening to his voice, she already had a vague idea of what he might look like.
It wasn’t that she was discriminating. She just really had no interest in this marriage.
Not to mention, it was with a man she didn’t know and had zero relations with.
She rationalized her thoughts and asked another bodyguard to bring her a chair. She sat at the door of the study and talked with
Eder.

“It’s not really a big deal. I just want to know if Mr. Grant already knows a lot about me.
Eder did not say anything.
He was holding the coffee mug in one hand with well-defined knuckles and making the crisp sound of a spoon stirring.
Grace looked at the back of his head and said sternly, “I believe that with your power, you must have already investigated me
and found out that I was once a married woman.”
“So what?” Eder took a sip of his coffee.
Grace was slightly puzzled.
‘Does that mean you don’t mind?’
Could it be that this man really had strange taste and liked married women?
She felt both sp ooked and disgusted that she began to talk nonsense in a serious voice:
“Mr. Grant, if you were able to investigate something, there is one matter my father must have kept from
you. When I was a child, we visited a fortune teller. According to him, I was born to be unlucky If you heard about my ex-
husband, then I must tell you that I was the cause of his death.”
“Pff.cough cough...
Eder, who was drinking coffee, began choking, and his coffee spilled onto the brown carpet.
The bodyguard in the room quickly handed him a tissue.
Seeing such a strange reaction, Grace felt compelled to continue:
“You are the pillar of the Grant family, so I really don’t want to harm you. Our marriage is not suitable. Why don’t we talk this over
with the elders in our family and have it terminated?”
