“You…”

They were really going to sell him off? Greg felt extremely frustrated. But indeed, it had nothing to do

with Hailey and Joyce. He understood their refusal to drink the medicine with him.

But…

Selecting three bottles a day, what if he had the misfortune of choosing three bottles of M-drugs?

Would he be willing to sacrifice his life?

And if he ended up with both M-drugs and laxatives, wouldn’t he he tortured to death from both ends?

No way! If he was going down, he would bring someone down with him!

He gritted his teeth angrily and looked at Edgar. “You little brat, you helped scheme against your own

second uncle! Have you forgotten that your mother also played a part in this? If I’m going to be

tormented by these things, she shouldn’t get away with it either!”

Edgar’s expression remained cold and indifferent. “She made a mistake, so of course, she should be,

punished. I won’t show favoritism. Besides, I’ve already taken the punishment on her behalf.” That

medicine had almost sent him to the gates of death. He would never forget that heart-wrenching

feeling. By saying this, he first emphasized that he was just in punishing his own family, and then he

took the blame for his mother, closing off any loopholes Greg could exploit. Greg was unwilling, but he

glanced at the four bodyguards that Grace had brought with her. None of them were easy to deal with.

Even if they counted heads, he didn’t have enough people on his side. There was no choice. Greg

softened his tone. “Former daughter-in-law, oh, I mean Miss Grace, can you give me a discount? Look

at this old bone of mine, how can it withstand such torment?” Grace smiled, her eyes crescent-shaped.

“Since the Second young master Fallen has spoken, of course, it’s possible.”

Greg hadn’t even had time to feel happy when he heard her continue. “But you’ll have to exchange it

with your Fallen family shares. 1% of the Fallen family shares can save you from drinking two bottles.”

In other words, if he handed over all lus shares, he wouldn’t have to drink a single bottle,

Hailey and Joyce thought it was a good solution.

“Husband, with the current state of the Fallen family stocks, they’re practically worthless. Why not

exchange them for this medicine? At least you’ll feel better,” Hailey suggested.

Greg refused her. “A woman’s way of thinking!”

This little Grace clearly came for his shares!

Those shares were the source of livelihood for his entire family and the last thing Grandfather left for

him. He couldn’t easily hand them over to an outsider.

“How are you considering it?” Grace pursed her lips.

“It’s impossible, absolutely not the shares. Not in this lifetime, not in the next!”

He looked at the black and gold gift box opened on the table, took a deep breath, and picked three

bottles as if facing death. He opened them and swallowed them without even paying attention to the

taste. After drinking, he immediately squatted on the ground and began retching.

Halley and Joyce hurriedly came over to support him. Itis face had turned pale. “Quick! Call a doctor. If

I have an attack soon, it might be too late!”

The Hillim

Chapter 134

Several bodyguards, seeing him, an experienced old fox, acting so cowardly, burst into laughter. At that

time. Edgar already knew it was M-drug, so when he drank it, he didn’t even blink. Though they shared

the same surname, the inherent arrogance was incomparable.

Grace said, “Trom now on, Fifteen and Seventeen will come and watch you drink three bottles every

day. Only when all the bottles are finished will it count.”

After she finished speaking, she left the Fallen residence without looking back.

Edgar immediately followed her footsteps.

After dealing with Greg’s matter, it was almost time to go to work.

This time, Grace didn’t plan to let Edgar go home directly but took him to the construction site of the

Fallen Corporation.

In the car. Grace explained. “Fallen Corporation had a project at the Maine construction site before.

Due to Yvonne’s mismanagement and Jade’s cutting corners, there was a construction accident that

even affected the newly built adjacent building. Jade has been dragging his feet and refusing to make

the payment, causing the construction team to become dissatisfied and create a commotion at the

company. If you were in that situation, what would you do?”

Edgar thought for a moment and gave a concise response, “Make the payment and appease the

workers.”

Grace thought he might come up with some extraordinary solution, but now it seemed she had hoped

for too much. The car quickly arrived at the Maine construction site.

Edgar looked up at the building outside the window and earnestly met Grace’s gaze. “If you’re willing to

trust me once, I can take over this project. I can handle it.”

Grace pondered for a moment but didn’t give her consent.

“It’s useless. Belinda did the same thing at the beginning, but the workers never trusted the company

afterward and didn’t put in their best effort. However, if we replace all the workers, it might chill the

hearts of the entire Maine project staff, Grace explained.

The car quickly arrived at the Maine construction site.

Edgar looked up at the building outside the window and met Grace’s gaze with a sincere expression. “If

you’re willing to trust me once, I can take over this project entirely. I can handle it.”

Grace pondered for a moment but didn’t give her answer. Just then, Beth called again. There was

something that needed her attention at Angle.

During this period, she had been running between Angle and the Fallen Corporation, feeling a bit

mentally exhausted.

Especially since the Tallen Cor poration was currently going through a low period, it would take a long

time for them to return to their former glory and retrieve the 8.8 billion, along with the interest, from

Jade

While she was lost in thought, Edgar suddenly stood up and knelt on one knee beneath the car seat.

His intense gaze locked onto her with his black eyes.

“Grace, please believe me. The control of the Fallen Family was entrusted to me by my grandfather a

long time ago. It is the foundation of the entire Fallen Family. I have been in power in the Fallen Family

for a long time, and I still have a great deal of prestige among the employees. I won’t harm the Fallen

Family, nor will I take advantage of the situation to seize your power.

Grace lifted his chin with her slender fingertips, and her tone cold as she said, “Based on the things you

did recently, why should I trust you?”

Edgar was momentarily speechless. No one would believe him, especially after he had injured her as a

test of her identity.

“I admit that at first, agreeing to sign the agreement had an element of testing you. But as I got to know

you, I realized that I genuinely like you. I have only liked you from beginning to end! So, I sincerely

want to stay by your side, Grace, 1…”

Grace placed her index finger on her own red lips, making a gesture for silence, not wanting to hear

any more of his cheesy words.

Edgar wisely kept his mouth shut.

Grace asked, “If I let you handle the Maine Project, what do you need from me?”

“Authority.”

As soon as these words were spoken, Grace laughed, “You say you have no ulterior motives, Edgar,

you’re really good at acting. It’s a pity you’re not signed with Angle as an artist with such acting

skills.”

She gave him a cold glance and prepared to get out of the car.

Edgar quickly grabbed her wrist and sank to his other knee, keeping his back straight as he knelt in

front of her, explaining. I desire authority not to take back the Fallen Family, but to make those people

believe in me. If you’re not at ease, you can assign Fifteen and Seventeen to monitor me. I won’t play

any tricks.”

In his black eyes, there was an unprecedented sincerity, even accompanied by a hint of imperceptible

vulnerability.

Grace glanced at her phone, seeing that Beth was continuously sending her messages.

She pondered for a moment and said, “Alright, I’ll trust you this once. You have one month to handle

the entire Yunxi Project, from appeasing the construction workers to completing the construction. If you

can’t accomplish it or dare to play any tricks…”

Edgar nodded, “If I can’t complete it, you can have my life.”

Was he staking his life on this?

“That’s what you said. But there’s one more thing. You can’t neglect the household chores of the villa

just because you’re busy with work. The villa must remain spotless until I return every day, and dinner

must be served hot. Can you handle that?”

There were only twenty four hours in a day, and with time for eating and sleeping, there was only about

half of the time left.

It was not an easy task for him to simultaneously handle both sides of the work within the limited. time.

But Edgar hardly considered it, his black eyes fixed on her, a doting smile on his face. “Alright, as a

man, I can’t say I can’t!”
