Grace chuckled and shook her head. She had a few bites of breakfast and headed to work at the

company. Just as she sat down at her desk, Fifteen knocked on the door and reported the investigation

results.

“Miss, Mr. Fallen wasn’t lying. Young Master Grammer was indeed abducted from the Douglas Hotel

and dumped on a cargo ship at Frant City Port. However, it’s difficult to determine his current

whereabouts.”

He paused for a moment before continuing, “Although the surveillance footage at the Douglas Hotel

during that time was tampered with, I accidentally discovered a familiar face that was missed during the

deletion.”

He handed Grace a photo captured from the surveillance.

“Although this person was wearing a mask, do you think the eyes and eyebrows resemble Eric, Miss?

Grace took the photo and examined it carefully. Due to Eric acting as Edgar’s assistant in name, they

had worked together occasionally in the past half month, so she had some impressions of him.

If it really was Eric, then it could be ruled out that Nancy was kidnapped by him. It wasn’t Edgar’s

doing.

A sense of relief washed over her, and Grace put down the photo and gave further instructions:

“Continue investigating Nancy’s whereabouts until she is found, and also look into any recent activities

from the Smith family.”

“Yes, Miss.”

Grace nodded, signaling for him to continue his work.

Watching Fifteen’s departing figure, she fell into deep thought. If Fifteen, in collaboration with the Dark

Bell organization, couldn’t find any leads, then it was highly likely that someone from the Smith family

was behind the sophisticated operation that targeted her.

But what did that person want by using Nancy? For some reason, Grace felt a sense of unease

regarding Nancy’s disappearance.

She even had a feeling that something big was about to happen. As she anxiously pondered over it,

she kept herself busy. While checking the latest schedules and filming progress of all the artists, she

unexpectedly discovered that Tom’s filming progress had inexplicably halted since yesterday afternoon,

and he hadn’t shown up on set this morning.

Grace immediately called Tim’s agent.

“President, it’s a misunderstanding. Second Young Master was filming just fine yesterday, but

something happened between him and Carlos Brent, the young master from the neighboring

production. They got into a fight, and Carlos ended up in the hospital. Many passersby who were

visiting the Frant City film studio witnessed the incident. The production teams from both sides are

currently discussing a resolution.”

The more Grace listened, the tighter her brows furrowed. “Why wasn’t this reported yesterday? And

where is Tom?”

“I’m sorry, President. I thought that since Second Young Master had encountered similar incidents in

the past, we could settle it directly with the production team. But Carlos was seriously injured this time,

and Second Young Master was taken back to the Walker family’s hotel from the set by the Walker

family’s people early this morning. We haven’t been able to contact him since…”

Grace fell silent for a moment. Knowing the old man’s temper, Tom, the troublemaker, was undoubtedly

going to face the family’s disciplinary actions once he returned.

“Okay, I understand,” she said, massaging her temples. She made up her mind to personally visit the

Walker family. She didn’t want the old man to be too harsh and delay the filming of the little

troublemaker.

She drove all the way to the Walker family’s villa. After explaining her identity to the guards at the gate,

they inmediately let her in. Following the butler’s lead, Grace made her way inside without any

obstacles.

Even before reaching the ancestral hall, Grace could hear the loud sounds of punishment mixed with

Tom’s pained moans. The mere sound made her heart pound with unease.

Unconsciously, she quickened her pace.

Inside the ancestral hall, Tom was kneeling on the ground, gritting his teeth and enduring the pain, his

face filled with defiance.

The old man was furious, although he felt some compassion. How could this troublemaker, who

couldn’t

go three days without causing trouble, not learn his lesson?

Chapter 14.

Waving his hand, the sound of punishment ceased. “I’m asking you, do you know you’re in the Wrong?”

Tom took a couple of breaths to calm himself, but his rebellious eyes remained unyielding. “I’m not

wrong. He deserves a beating, and next time I see him, I’ll beat him again, the same as every time I

see him!”

Grace had just arrived at the entrance of the ancestral hall when she heard Tom’s words loud and

clear. “Foolish boy, even if you genuinely feel you’re in the right, don’t you know to submit first?”

As expected, the sound of punishment immediately resumed inside, even harsher than before. “Keep

beating him! Beat him until he admits his mistake!”

The butler quickly went inside and whispered the news of Grace’s arrival to the old patriarch.

“It’s been a long time, Grandfather. You haven’t aged a bit; you’re still so youthful,” Grace said with a

charming smile as she walked in at the right moment. She took the intertwined cane made of two

strands of rattan from the hands of the punishing ser vant. “Grandfather, this thing must hurt a lot when

it’s used for punishment. Tom is still young; please don’t hurt him too badly.”

Seeing her enter, the old man’s face softened, and he smiled widely. “Oh, my little Grace, you’ve grown

up so much. Come and sit here; let Grandfather have a good look at you.”

Grace obediently walked over and sat beside him.

“Don’t feel sorry for this boy. I’ve been beating him since he was little, but he’s tough and can take it!

It’s my little Grace, the treasure of the Walker and Smith families, who needs to be cherished!”

Hearing this, Tom sucked in a sharp breath and discreetly straightened his back to massage the injury

behind him.

Silently, he cursed in his heart. His own grandfather didn’t care for his own grandson but favored

someone else’s granddaughter! Was there something wrong with his mind?
