The Millionaire And His Billionaire Ex-Wife

Chapter 244
Everyone who came was on the previous invitation list. Beth cleared her throat sharply and shouted, “Welcome President
Benjamin Anderson from Anderson Enterprises, President Olivia Reed from Reed Productions, Ms. Sophia Bennett from Bennett
Studios, Mr. Matthew Taylor from Taylor Media... to the Angle Group!”
Businessmen are all about prioritizing their interests. Although it was Mr. Smithar who had influenced those big shots who had
previously made excuses not to come, they were now rushing to the scene at the fastest speed.
The invited guests all arrived in the last ten minutes, and Laura quickly helped Grace welcome them.
Lianne’s face turned green with anger. There were too many people who arrived, and their entrance was packed with no empty
space.
She sat in a chair, submerged in the crowd, forcibly pushed to a corner. If it weren’t for the
bodyguard supporting her, she would have almost fallen.
Everyone was busy showing courtesy in front of Grace, no one cared about her at all.
Laura gave her a cold look, “There are too many guests here, Grace and I may not be able to take care of you. Isn’t it hard to be
slapped in the face? If you can’t keep up the pretense, it’s better you leave immediately.”
“You!” Being insulted so bluntly, Lianne’s face twisted with anger.
She was unwilling to leave it at that and continued to sarcastically say in a low voice, “Grace, even if you have Eder protecting
you, so what? I heard he is cruel to women, has a weird personality, and is incredibly ugly. Taking care of him at the Ji family
during this time must be unbearable, right?”
Grace was taken aback, but she just chuckled and didn’t bother explaining
Compared to arguing with Lianne, it was more important to greet the arriving guests.
Laura, on the other hand, looked at Lianne indifferently and sarcastically said with a gentle expression, “Did you misjudge? Eder
might disappoint you. Not only is he handsome, responsible, and considerate, but he is also gentle and caring towards Grace.
Are you annoyed?”

Lianne was stunned. How could this be so different from the rumors about Eder?

She didn’t know whether what Laura said was true or false, so she could only resort to another method of mockery and
deliberately raised her voice, “Maybe, but he intentionally skipped the Dust–Washing Banquet last time, and he didn’t show up
for the ribbon–cutting ceremony this time. I think he simply doesn’t care about you. This investment in Angle is probably just a
gesture from Mr. Grant, right?
Many people at the scene heard her words and began whispering and discussing in low voices.
Eder’s and Mr. Grant’s intentions were two different concepts.
Although Mr. Grant had been a prominent figure in the business world for a long time and was respected by everyone, that was
all in the past.
Because Mr. Grant had already retired and was no longer in charge, it was Eder, the newly appointed person in power in Grant
family, who had the final say.
If he didn’t approve of the engagement with Grace, the investment in Angle might just be a superficial statement, and it was
uncertain whether the funds would actually be transferred.

Chapter 244
Grace remained silent, because she really didn’t intend to accept Eder’s investment or use the Grant family’s influence.
However, with the ribbon–cutting ceremony approaching, she intended to discuss the investment privately with Eder afterward
She didn’t refute, and some people at the scene already believed Lianne’s words and started to
waver.
Mr. Taylor from Taylor Media took the lead in apologizing to Grace, “I’m sorry, Director Salen. Something urgent has come up in
my company. I wish you a successful ribbon–cutting ceremony and good luck. We, Taylor Media, will take our leave.”
Someone took the lead, and soon others followed suit.

“Sorry, Director Salen. I also have something going on..........”
“Director Salen, please don’t be angry. There is indeed something urgent at my company..
Grace didn’t show any expression but nodded in agreement one by one,
Lianne watched with a smug expression, her hands behind her back.
However, just as the sixth company was about to step forward to apologize to Grace, the roaring sound of a unique silver
supercar from Sylber echoed from the fountain pool.
All eyes instantly focused on the only black limited–edition Sylber supercar in the entire Freedonia, rumored to cost 80 million, a
car that money alone couldn’t buy, requiring power and influence.
As everyone exclaimed at the appearance of the car, the car door opened slowly. A man’s long legs stepped out of the car.
“Mr. Storm?”
“Really, it’s him! He actually came to such a small occasion in person. He’s truly spoiling Director Salen, his fiancee!”
“Oh my god, I’m so envious and jealous!”
There were many female companions brought by the CEOs. Ever since Eder got out of the car, their eyes were fixated on him,
consumed by jealousy.
The few companies that had just announced they would leave were still present in the building When they saw Eder’s personal
arrival, they regretted their decision. They all looked at Lianne angrily.
And Lianne was also immersed in shock, unable to say a word,
Amidst the cheers, Eder walked straight toward Grace without glancing aside.
Grace stared blankly at the man approaching her, feeling not only surprised but also a bit annoyed.
She clearly told him not to come out and to recuperate in the villa. “Hmm, this man just never
listens!

Eder met all the gazes and walked to Grace. The noisy discussion stopped consciously, creating a quiet environment. He gently
picked up Grace’s left hand, kissed the back of her haul, and said in a low, magnetic voice, “I’m sorry, I’m late.”
Grace pouted and raised an eyebrow at him. “Yes, so when we go back, I’ll definitely punish you!”
Eder smiled, “You want two days and two nights? It’s all up to you.”
The screams of the elegant ladies present filled the scene. Everyone was force–fed with public displays of affection. Moreover,
the two of them were openly teasing each other in front of so many people. Did they really mean what they said? Could they
handle this unpaid content?
Grace did not expect him to be so bold, openly speaking and teasing her in front of such a large audience. She maintained a
simile and looked at him, but in her heart, she was grinding her teeth in frustration.
Eder had timed his arrival perfectly. As soon as he arrived, the ribbon–cutting ceremony
commenced. Because of his appearance, he and Grace held the red ribbon together in the ceremony. and each person cut it
with a knife.
The atmosphere at the scene became even more lively.
Lianne had been slapped in the face twice that day. Especially the second time, which she deliberately said out loud. Now she
wished she could find a hole to hide in.
Taking advantage of the lack of attention, she left dejectedly.
The ribbon–cutting ceremony ended successfully, and all the guests visited the Angle Building together.
Grace was tired from socializing, and since Eder had volunteered to come and invest in Angle, she decided to leave the
socializing responsibility to him and lazily sat in a quiet corner with Laura:
Laura looked at Eder, who was helplessly socializing in the crowd. “How can he say that he is still your investor? You can just
hide and watch him work hard.”
Grace’s gaze was also on Eder. “He’s not well–behaved, so let him suffer a little longer.”
“Not well–behaved?” Laura covered her mouth and laughed. “He seems pretty well–behaved to me.”

“He’s just pretending.”
Grace didn’t say much; she simply poured herself a glass of champagne and took a sip. Not only did he like to pretend and act,
but he also lied a lot and enjoyed telling lies! However, she didn’t feel comfortable telling Laura about these specific things.
Laura, on the other hand, didn’t shy away. “Well, you still managed to chat up the right person. When your own man doesn’t
listen, you have to teach him! I have quite a bit of experience in that department as your sister–in–law.”
