Chapter 211

Theodore proactively poured a glass of red wine, intending to toast with Grace.Although his previous dealings in medicinal herbs with Priscilla had ended disastrously, he had won the lawsuit and the matter was now in the past.Feeling old enough to be a mentor rather than a foe to Priscilla, he decided not to dwell on past grievances. Bumping into Priscilla in Stanva City and seeing her secretary's toast made him think a toast could be a good way to move on.His magnanimity was evident.However, Grace was not as forgiving, especially when facing Vivianne.When she saw Vivianne's father approach her with a toast, her expression soured. "Oh, I wouldn't dare accept a toast from Mr. Danbury, I'm afraid of being framed by Mr. Danbury once again."Theodore's face darkened at the accusation. Before he could respond, Vivianne erupted. "What nonsense are you spouting, Grace? Your underhanded business dealings are why you lost the lawsuit! Now you have the nerve to make accusations?"G

Grace pretended to be innocent. "I didn't do anything! I'm just a little tipsy and lost my balance, that's all. I wouldn't dream of bumping into such a distinguished gentleman like Mr. Danbury. Surely, you wouldn't hold such a minor incident against me? That would be rather petty, wouldn't you agree?"Vivianne bristled. "Don't play coy, Grace! Everyone saw it! That's a deliberate bump and then a flimsy excuse about being drunk. You're just itching for a fight!"Ignoring Vivianne's outburst, Grace turned to the room. A sly smile played on her lips. "Gentlemen, be honest. Did it appear intentional?"Naturally, the tide turned in Grace's favor."Ms. Anderson did have quite a few drinks, and those high heels can be tricky. It was a simple loss of balance, I'm sure.""A grown man getting flustered over a bump? That's a bit childish, wouldn't you say?""Indeed, we wouldn't want to share a meal with someone so easily ruffled."Vivianne was about to confront the crowd when Theodore gent

After returning to Priscilla‘s side, Grace felt very pleased with herself and gave Priscilla a smug smile. "See, Vivianne's dirty little tricks mean nothing in front of Mr. Sirius, right? Even Theodore wouldn't dare utter a word in front of me."Priscilla was also feeling quite thrilled, even though her cousin's actions seemed a bit over the top. But for dealing with people like the Danbury family who had slandered her, such tactics were necessary.Across the table, Mr. Sirius observed the flustered Danbury family with a helpless shake of his head. Normally, he might have intervened. After all, Vivianne was Frederick's woman. But here, the choice was clear—Priscilla over the Danburys, especially since Vivianne was just a mistress.A flicker of envy crossed Mr. Sirius's mind. Frederick seemed to have a knack for attracting stunning women, something even he, as the acting head of the powerful Monroe family, couldn't compete with.Shrugging off the feeling, he reaffirmed his commitm

Grace's suggestion left Priscilla speechless. Publicly confessing to a man she'd met twice? What a joke!"Grace, don't talk nonsense."Seeing Priscilla's flustered reaction, Grace sighed. "Oh, my silly Prissy, you have to be bold! Opportunities like this don't just fall into your lap. If you're too shy, then let me help you."With that, Grace walked straight toward Sirius, leaving Priscilla anxiously stomping her foot in place, wanting to stop her but it was too late. She feared Grace might do something over the top, especially since she had already overstepped boundaries earlier and was now drunk.Reaching Sirius, Grace asked, "Mr. Sirius, forgive me if this is a bit forward, but... are you single?"The room went silent as everyone turned their attention to the pair. A ripple of nervous energy crackled through the crowd, suddenly curious about Sirius's answer.Sirius's expression darkened as he looked at Grace disapprovingly. To ask such a personal question in such a public

However, Sirius remembered his grandpa's desperate need for Frederick's treatment and the importance of keeping Priscilla happy.He forced himself to swallow his anger once again. "I don't have a girlfriend."At worst, he could always smooth things over to the women he was currently involved with, and it shouldn't be too complicated.Grace was secretly thrilled as this was precisely the answer she'd hoped for.Sirius was single and clearly had feelings for Priscilla."Mr. Sirius is so talented. It's a shame he doesn't have a girlfriend," a guest sighed, prompting murmurs of agreement. "If I meet anyone suitable, I'll introduce them!"Sensing her plan nearing success, Grace took another drink and asked, "Do you like anyone in particular?"Sirius gritted his teeth. He was barely containing his irritation; one wrong word might make him snap at Grace.However, Grace was unaware of the tension brewing in Sirius, as she was both tipsy and caught up in her excitement."Haha, I happ

Chapter 216

Sirius had been supporting Priscilla all along, his actions driven purely by his duty to Frederick.He'd assumed Grace was perceptive enough to understand this, but her cluelessness was infuriating!She attributed everything to Sirius having a crush on her. It was a misunderstanding that could have disastrous consequences if Frederick found out.Frederick might abandon his grandpa's life-extension treatment entirely, or worse, take a sinister turn and resort to poison.Panic surged through Sirius, shattering his usual composure."Ms. Anderson, please choose your words with care! As I've explained before, my support for Priscilla is due to a prior task entrusted to me, not personal feelings. This kind of careless speculation is incredibly dangerous."Seeing Sirius visibly flustered, Grace seized the opportunity to tease him. "Look, everyone! Mr. Sirius is blushing and scrambling for excuses. Who else could possibly command Mr. Sirius to work tirelessly for three years? Does anyone

Vivianne's words sent a chill through Grace. The possibility of Frederick revealing Priscilla's past marriage had worried her, but she'd forgotten Vivianne knew the secret as well."Vivianne, stop lying! What divorce?" Grace's voice trembled with anger as she snapped.Vivianne smirked at Grace's panic. She sneered, "Lies? Everything's publicly recorded these days. Any CEO here could easily look up a person's marital status. Do a quick search, Ms. Sirius. See if Priscilla's divorce isn't right there for everyone to find."Grace was rendered speechless as she knew Vivianne was right. This was the era of information, where secrets were hard to keep.Sirius's mind whirled. He couldn't believe his ears. "Ms. Miller, are you divorced?" he asked Priscilla, his voice laced with disbelief.The formality returned; Priscilla was "Ms. Miller" once again, no longer "Prissie".Grace still tried to intervene. "Ms. Sirius, please hear me out."Sirius had long held a grudge against Grace. No

Grace's dreams of success were crumbling before her eyes."Gentlemen, please don't go! Let's continue our discussions about the Jenaire City hotel project."The men shook their heads in dismay.Cooperate with her? They wanted nothing more than to distance themselves."Ladies, Mr. Sirius is furious. Please step back. We don't want to be caught in the crossfire."One by one, the men departed while Priscilla watched in despair.How had it come to this?Just moments ago, she was poised to become Jenaire City's leading businesswoman. Now, it was all ruined! And the reason? Her divorce!The thought made her seethe. If only she hadn't married Frederick, this golden opportunity wouldn't have slipped through her fingers. Vivianne watched the drama unfold and couldn't resist a gleeful laugh."Well, isn't this entertaining!"Seeing the woman who had orchestrated her downfall, Priscilla broke down. "Why must you always work against me?" Vivianne was taken aback.Vivianne was rende

Sirius had completely lost his usual composure in his office.The office resembled a warzone, with overturned tables and sofas, and shattered remnants of once-breakable objects scattered across the floor.Noticing the commotion, Wayne entered the office and was utterly dumbfounded by the chaotic scene. This was unlike any display of anger he had ever witnessed from Sirius."Mr. Sirius, what happened?"Sirius raged as he violently flung an ashtray to the ground. The expensive crystal ashtray shattered into countless fragments."Priscilla has divorced Mr. York!"Wayne's eyes widened in shock. "What? Priscilla divorced Mr. York? Then doesn't that mean all your previous efforts were for nothing?"Sirius's anger intensified at this revelation. Three years of meticulous planning, even risking his own life by ingesting poison to test Frederick's medical skills, had nearly resulted in his demise.Yet, all he had to show for it was Priscilla's divorce from Frederick, rendering his effor

"I'm not like that foolish Priscilla, oblivious to how everything she has is thanks to Frederick's support. I understand Frederick saved the life of the Monroe family head. That's why you all treat him like royalty."Sirius gave a subtle nod. It turned out Vivianne knew the whole story. Clearly, she was much closer to Frederick than his ex-wife, Priscilla.Sirius made up his mind to befriend Vivianne!Without hesitation, he told her Frederick's room number. Vivianne stormed out of the office, the room number clutched in her mind.Watching Vivianne leave, Sirius addressed Wayne, "We need to cultivate a strong relationship with the Danbury family. We have to discuss potential collaborations with Theodore soon. Find ways to support the Danburys and make sure they feel indebted to the Monroes."Wayne nodded swiftly. "Right away, Mr. Sirius. And what shall we do about Priscilla?"Sirius's eyes hardened. He'd nearly forgotten that wretched woman. His usual polite facade was for Frederi
