The Millionaire And His Billionaire Ex-Wife

Chapter 261
Eder had a serious expression and remained silent.
Eric, being quite audacious, continued, “Boss, I’m just saying, but you really should exercise some restraint. Excessive
indulgence is harmful to your health!”
Someone’s face quickly darkened, becoming extreme
grim.
Eric noticed the change in his boss’s countenance, feeling as if the recently increased salary in his wallet was waving goodbye to
him.
He hurriedly changed his tone, stuttering, “M-my... I mean, if Master Chris finds out, it would be difficult to explain Miss Grace’s
presence in the Grant Family. It could lead to a lot of trouble. Moreover, considering your current physical condition, if you suffer
another serious injury, even the g ods won’t be able to save you.”
The truth is hard to swallow.
Though the words were unpleasant to hear, they were indeed the truth.
Eder wasn’t a tyrannical boss..
He nodded in agreement, accepting Eric’s advice.
On his computer, the National Security Bureau sent an urgent email regarding the border situation. of Freedonia.
Eder opened it, and in an instant, his handsome face turned serious and stern. “There’s another organization causing trouble at
the border. Pack your things, we leave tomorrow night.”
“Yes, Boss.”
When Grace woke up, it was already close to p oon
Eder knew she would be tired, so he intentionally didn’t disturb her before leaving, allowing her to
rest more.
She supported her waist carefully and trembled as she got out of bed. Both her slender legs were shaking.
The events of this morning made her realize deeply that she should never challenge a man’s authority in that aspect. Otherwise,
the consequences would be disastrous!
On her phone, her subordinate from the Black Bell organization had already compiled Ava Mitchell’ information into a file and
sent it to her.
Grace opened it and examined it carefully.
Ava, nineteen years old. Her father passed away early, and she was raised solely by her mother. She debuted in the
entertainment industry at the age of fourteen and had outstanding professional skills. She had won numerous international
awards for Best Actress at a young age and was rumoured to have a financial backer. Her resources were excellent.

However, the identity of her backer was unknown, as well as her parents and surname.
Grace’s face turned cold as she looked at the “unknown” information. It was all useless information without any substance.
She immediately made a call. “Investigate further! Dig deeper! I want the most detailed information! When did her father pass
away? Why did he die? All of this must be found out, along with her
Chapter 261
surname. If she’s hiding it, there must be a big secret!”
“Don’t worry, Boss, I’ll go right away!”
Grace hung up the phone and stared at the information on Ava, her eyes growing darker.
The Black Bell organization had been under her control for so many years, and they had never failed to gather complete
information. If even they couldn’t find anything.
There must be influential figures from several major families supporting Ava behind the scenes. Who could be her financial
backer?
This woman was hiding really deep but she would also not rest until she had gone deeper.
But since she was still a mystery, Grace could only continue to wait for updates from the Black Bell organization
She refocused her thoughts and finished washing up before applying her makeup.
Abigail had a magazine shoot at Bana today. It was her first time truly focusing on her career since the Tristan Barrow’s cheating
incident, and Grace intended to go and have a look
As soon as she stepped out of the villa, before even getting into the car, she saw Grandfather Grant along with Uncle Alfred
approaching her.
“Hello, Grandfather Grant.”
Grandfather Grant nodded with a smile, leaning on his cane as he walked up to Grace “Grace, my dear, are you getting used to
staying with Ed? Is everything going well?”
“It’s been great. Eder has been treating me well. You can rest assured, Grandfather Grant.”
“That’s good.”
Grandfather Grant smiled with satisfaction, and his gaze shifted from her face to down to her belly. “Your relationship with each
other seems to be progressing well but why isn’t your belly showing any signs? Don’t take any medication, my dear. It’s harmful.
Rest assured, if you become pregnant, our Grant family will welcome you with open arms.”
Hearing the elder bring up such a private topic, Grace blushed and gave an awkward smile. “I understand, Grandfather Grant.”
Pregnant?
She didn’t dare.
If Chris found out, he would probably break her legs before the child was even born!
Grandfather Grant then gave her a few more solemn instructions, mostly regarding marriage-related matters and Grace politely

agreed.
After Grandfather Grant left with the old butler, her gaze shifted to her belly.
Although she was afraid of getting pregnant and being beaten to death by her Big Brother before the child was born, she was
actually quite curious about having a baby.
It was strange. She had been with Eder so many times, and they hadn’t even used any birth control methods.
Why was her belly still not showing any signs?
Was there something wrong with her body, or was it his body?
But after the lesson she learned this morning, she didn’t dare ask Eder directly, fearing he would once again think she was
disrespecting his male dignity and take advantage of the situation.
12:34
The
Perhaps her good fortune of having children ha
arrived yet.
She sighed and didn’t delay any longer, immediately heading to the shooting location at Bana.
Just as she arrived at Rana, her attention was drawn to a hunched figure in a corner near
ear the
entrance.
Due to the fact that the figure was wearing a mask and a hat, her entire face was concealed, but her short greyish-white hair
could be seen, indicating that she was an elderly woman.
However, as Grace walked closer, she unexpectedly caught a glimpse of the woman’s exposed hand, which had tight and tender
skin indicating that she was not what she appeared to be.
She was about to approach for a closer look when the elderly woman’ quickly slipped into the building while the staff at the
entrance were distracted.
22nd floor of the Bana Building.
Abigail was currently in the midst of a shoot.
The cover shoot for this magazine had already been completed, but Bana’s Director Sha Was impressed by her performance
and extended the shoot to include several inner-page spreads for certain columns in the magazine.
All the attention of the staff was focused on the shool.
No one noticed the ‘elderly woman’ who sneaked in with a bucket of dirty water from the restroom.
That malicious gleam in her eyes, like that of a venomous snake, remained fixed on Abigail from the moment she entered.
Just as everyone went to get the fruit tea prepared by the manager, not one person noticed as the ‘elderly woman’ swiftly threw
the bucket of dirty water towards Abigail who couldn’t dodge in time and was immediately drenched, her high end designer dress

provided by Bana now covered in mud.
The dirty water splattered on her face, and the dirt obstructed her vision. She rubbed her eyes a few times, but it stung too much
to open them making her lose her vision
While everyone was busy getting their fruit tea, they were completely unaware. The ‘elderly woman” threw away the bucket,
revealing a concealed knife that she had prepared in advance, and viciously stabbed it toward Abigail.
“B itch, die!” She yelled attracting the attention of the staff and they turned towards the direction of
the shout.
Many staff members screamed when they saw the knife in her hand, but no one could react in time to stop her.
“Be careful!”
They all held their breath while some turned away unable to bear the upcoming sight but strangely, there was no blood splatter in
that instant.
Just as the knife was about to stab Aliigail’s abdomen, it stopped.
A pair of hands had suddenly grasped the ‘elderly woman’s’ wrist.
