Besides, Kyla and Martin Weiss know each other. Kyla also told Mrs. Corbyn that she’s with Martin Weiss and told her not to worry…!

The police might not handle the case at all.

‘In that case, the fastest way to find someone in Emerald City…’ Jason’s face flashed through Grace’s mind.

‘If Jason is willing to help, I could find out where Kyla and Nelson are right now.

‘However… Jason…

Grace bit her lip. ‘Forget it. Kyla and Nelson matter most right now!

After all, Martin Weiss was someone Kyla desperately wanted to get away from. Kyla had been careful to protect Nelson from Martin Weiss. This was about as bad as it got!

‘God knows what kind of conflict they might have and whether Kyla will overreact.

Grace subconsciously tried to get Jason’s phone number from her contacts, but the next moment, her hands stopped.

‘I’ve deleted Jason’s phone number.

‘I’ve deleted both phone numbers!

‘His phone number is… A series of digits appeared in her mind.

‘It turns out… I’ve memorized his phone number!’ Grace gave a wry smile and dialed the number.

In the large conference room, a senior executive of Reed Group was giving a presentation.

Jason sat in the president’s seat, leaning back on the chair while staring coldly at the senior executive who was presenting the series of data on the screen.

The senior executive only felt a cold sweat covering his back. Although the president did not say anything, everyone knew that the president was not in a good mood these days.

No, you could even call it bad!

Several senior executives had suffered because of this.

The president did not swear, but the low air pressure from him was enough to make people tremble. One vice president was even fired yesterday!

The senior executive tried his best to finish the last sentence of his presentation before looking at Jason carefully, fearing that his presentation was not up to standard.

The atmosphere in the conference room had become tense.

Just then, a phone rang suddenly. Everyone in the conference room looked at the two phones lying in front of Jason.

Senior executives of Reed Group knew that Master Reed had two phones. One was a high-end limited edition phone that cost more than 100,000 dollars while the other was a cheap phone you could find everywhere in the city.

Master Reed was usually protective of the cheap phone even though it seemed to never ring.

Now, it was the cheap phone ringing.

All they saw was a sudden change in

Master Reed’s expression as he picked up the phone and answered it in front of everyone. Moments later, they heard Master Reed saying, “Are you begging me… Fine, send me their photos and their last known location. I’ll have someone look into it.”

Everyone was immediately surprised.

‘Beg? Has Master Reed ever cared if someone begged him or not? Master

Reed has a heart of stone. He won’t even care even if someone hurt their head kneeling in front of him.

‘Now, he’s taking the initiative to ask them if they were begging him.

‘Who the hell is on the other line?’

Only Terrence knew that the call was from Grace.

It was because only Grace knew the phone number of that phone and only

Grace’s number was stored on the phone.

‘However… Terrence also wondered what

Grace had begged Master Reed for.

Even though the call was over, Grace was still staring at the phone in her hand.

‘I begged Jason… just now! Yes, I had to!’

It would be worth it if all she had to do was beg to find out Kyla and Nelson’s whereabouts.

After all, Kyla was the only one who was willing to give her a job despite her criminal record when she was struggling to find one.

“Grace, I heard that it was Curtis Row who sent so many yellow roses to you last time. Is it true?” Andrea Schwartz approached Grace with feigned kindness and said, “I heard that Curtis

Row’s a playboy, so don’t be fooled.”

Grace glanced at her. She did not believe that Andrea Schwartz was concerned about her. Andrea Schwartz probably wanted to find out whether she and Curtis Row were together.

“It’s none of your business,” said Grace.

Andrea Schwartz frowned embarra**edly, grunted, and returned to her seat.

Andrea Schwartz frowned embarra**edly, grunted, and returned to her seat.

Kyla would also be forced to stay in the suite.

Plenty of speculations ran through

Grace’s mind.

“I’m afraid not. Master Reed only gave orders to find out where they are. If you want them out of there, I’m afraid you’ll have to talk to Master Reed,” Terrence replied respectfully.

Grace pursed her lips and asked with a sigh, “Where is he?”

“If you want to see Master Reed, you can come downstairs later. I’ll take you to

Master Reed,” said Terrence.

Grace was shocked and did not expect that Terrence was already downstairs. ‘Did Jason… already expect this?

‘Did he already expect her to beg him to get them out after learning where Kyla and Nelson are, so he asked Terrence to wait downstairs beforehand?’

Grace suddenly felt as though a net had caught her. She could not break free from it nor escape!

“Alright, got it,” said Grace before putting away her phone.

When she returned to her desk, it was the end of the day. Her colleagues began to leave the office. Grace packed her things quickly and left the firm. As it was time to get off work, she did not have to ask for leave.

When she was downstairs, she saw a grey car parked opposite the building. A second later, Terrence stepped out of it.

Grace approached him and Terrence helped her to open the door to the back seat. “Miss Cummins, please.”

Grace got into the car and Terrence drove off slowly.

Not far away, several figures came out of the building. After seeing that scene, someone exclaimed, “Gosh, Grace got into that car! It’s a Maybach. It isn’t cheap!”

Andrea Schwartz looked at the car with jealousy in her eyes… ‘Why does Grace get to ride a Maybach?’ “Hmph, she’s just a mistress. The young models and influencers that Curtis Row usually dates are beautiful. Grace is just a breath of fresh air.”

Andrea Schwartz thought the luxury car was Curtis Row’s!

“However, it doesn’t seem to be Curtis

Row who opened the car door for

Grace,” someone said.

“It’s probably a driver. It’s normal for rich people to have their chauffeur pick people up. Do you expect them to pick people up themselves? Her condescendence to be a mistress is a disgrace to the conduct of our firm,” said

Andrea Schwartz as she curled her lips.

“She’s not necessarily a mistress. Maybe they’re just dating like normal folks,”

someone said, defending Grace.

“Hmph. That’s just a way to put it nicely. Frankly speaking, she’s only in it for the money. Well, she was Sean’s girlfriend before she went to prison after all. Her life has taken a nosedive since she got into prison, so of course, she’s holding on to all the money she can get,” said

Andrea Schwartz.

One day, she was going to kick Grace out of the firm. She wanted Grace to know how she felt when she was thrown out of her old firm!

Grace watched as the car moved forward, but it was heading toward the west of the city.

It was neither the direction of Reed Residence nor the headquarters of Reed Group.

When the car stopped, Grace saw a restaurant.

It was a time-honored restaurant in Emerald City with a history of over a hundred years. However, although it was a time-honored restaurant, it was not accessible to common folks.

It usually only welcomed guests from rich and powerful families, and their dishes were of imperial cuisine level. It was said that only five people in the whole country could cook a dish of the highest rank.

Terrence had brought her here.

The restaurant was far more secluded than Grace expected. Even as she followed Terrence in, she did not see a single customer and only spotted the restaurant staff.

“Why is there no one here?” Grace could not resist asking.

Terrence smiled and said, “Master Reed booked the entire restaurant today.”
