Chapter 956

Grace was stunned and said, "I'm afraid | can't do that."

“You mean to say that you value money over a life?" Xavier asked in a low voice. "The Sunny Group is much more importantthan Alice's life?”

“Of course Alice's life is much more important than the Sunny Group. I'm not saying that | value money over my sister's life. I'msaying that we will not cheat you. My father left the Sunny Group for us. It does not belong to Marry alone."

"Grace, as far as | know, you are not Anderson's daughter. I'm pretty sure your father is Timothy, right?" Xavier mocked in a tonefull of irony. "What belongs to the Smith family belongs to the Smith family's children. It does not seem to include you, right?"

Grace's heart skipped a beat. The other party seemed to know about this, which meant that he was someone powerful.This showed that he was well prepared, and he had deliberately targeted her and Alice.It was just that Grace did not know who in the world would want to help Marry. For a moment, it was hard to guess.

Since he mentioned it, she felt that it was useless to hide it. She said, "Yes, | may not be Anderson's biological daughter, but hewas the one who raised me. If you say that | have nothing to do with the Sunny Group, where's your proof? After all, Andersondid not have a will.”

"So what?"

"You don't have to be so incisive." Grace said, "I don't want any of the Smith family property. To be honest, I've never thoughtabout going after it."

"Really? But you don't seem not to want any of it. It seems like you value the money more than your sister's life."

“Alice is Anderson's biological daughter. So, she has the right to receive a share of our father's property." After thinking for awhile, Grace said, "Now the Sunny Group is under Marry's leadership, but there does not seem to be any progress. Instead, itseems like it's on the verge of collapsing."

"So what?" Xavier said rudely.

"Therefore, | feel that Marry is not fit to be the president of Sunny Group. Alice is pursuing her master's degree right now. If shetakes over the Sunny Group, | can guarantee you that Marry would be receiving much more dividends than right now." "Youmean that Marry is not as capable as the silly little girl?"novelbin

"Obviously," Grace said in a deep voice. "If Marry was capable, she wouldn't be in the detention center.""If it weren't because of Heinz, you would be the one in the detention centre, not Marry." Xavier scoffed.

Grace was stunned for a while and did her best to compose herself. "| guess that's how luck works. Things change. Marry hasalways been lucky in the past, but | guess her luck has changed."

"Don't forget. | still have Alice with me." Xavier reminded her in a deep voice.

She pursed her lips and said, "What I'm suggesting is that Marry should just be a shareholder. Frankly, she does not need to bepart of the management and this would be good for everyone. What do you think?"

“Well, I've finally managed to be on the receiving end of both your sister's and your eloquence. Both of you sound very high andmighty. Obviously, this arrangement benefits the two of you, yet you still sound pompous. It's as if the world owes you

somethin ‘Sir, although | don't know who you are and why you're defending Marry, but since you're doing this, | want to makeit clear. I'll be frank with you and | can promise you that | will not be part of the Sunny Group's management team."

“However, do you think Marry is fit to be in the Sunny Group's management, in her current state?"

"What about the employees of Sunny Group?"

"You seem to be concerned about Marry only, but you've completely neglected the employees of Sunny Group.""What about their future?"

"Shouldn't the management have a little sense of responsibility? Shouldn't we think about the future of those employees and howit would impact their lives? Is this the right decision that we are making?"

"If you insist, then I can only hope that my sister will come home safely."

"The Sunny Group is not important to me. If Anderson's painstaking efforts go to waste and finally fail, then it would not have anyeffect on me. As you said, Anderson is not my biological father. He is Marry's and Alice's father."

"In that case, Marry will be responsible for the Smith family's downfall. Since you care so much about Marry, then you shouldconsider this." "Marry is the head of the family. So, she should be responsible for it, shouldn't she? The question is, can sheafford to do so?"

Then, Xavier scoffed and said, "You are really something. With your eloquence, | don't even know what else to say.”

Grace said, "Then, release my sister. | don't care who you are and | will not pursue this matter. | just hope that Alice can comehome safely."

"So, regarding Marry, it's settled then?" Xavier asked.“What are you referring to?""That you will let Marry go once she's released from the detention center?"

"Yes." Grace promised. "You can be rest assured that we will not pursue her, provided that you can handle everything. | just wantAlice to be safe."

"What about the Sunny Group's shares?""| don't call the shots on that," Grace said.

"Fine. You're right, the Sunny Group is on the verge of collapsing. So, well hand it over to your sister to manage. On the otherhand, we'll keep our hands off and just reap the dividends."

“Alright then." Grace said in a deep voice, "That's settled then. When are you going to release Alice?" "Tonight. I'll send her toyou before dawn." "I'll believe you, for now." Grace was not sure whether he could be trusted.

"Grace, you have already promised that you will not pursue this. So, | hope that you can keep your word."

“If you are afraid that Heinz and Jensen will go after her, then you have nothing to worry about. | will explain and persuade themnot to pursue this matter. However, you have to promise me that Alice is safe and sound. Otherwise, even if we were worldsapart, | can assure you that they will not let you go." Grace said harshly, "I will not too."

"Deal! Then, wait for my call," Xavier said before he hung up.

Then, Grace held her phone and hesitated for a while. She was no longer sleepy.

Ten minutes later, her phone rang again.

She saw that it was from the same unknown number. So, she answered the call.

"| dropped your sister off by the road of your villa. Send someone to pick her up."

"Alright!"

Next, Grace rushed out of the door with the phone in her hand, and shouted, "Butler! Butler!"

Then, the butler was awakened by the noise and ran over quickly.

As soon as he saw Grace running around barefoot, he immediately asked with concern, "Madam, what's wrong?"

"Yes!" The butler was also stunnedand nodded immediately, Tikafrangef twa podjatalds to go there rightaway.’ Please read the originalcontent at NovelDrama.Org.

The butler quickly arranged for someone to check the main gate.

Meanwhile, Grace waited at home.

Next, the butler said to her, "Madam, why don't you go and put some shoes on?"

After some thought, she quickly went back to the room and put her shoes on.

After a while, Alice was brought into the house by the bodyguards.

At that time, she was unconscious.

When the butler saw Alice, he immediately arranged for a doctor to come over and take a look at her.

After that, Grace called Heinz andsaid, "Heinz, you and aiscome over Fight now lee iS back inou? Suse! Both of you should comeover together, as | have somethingimportant to tell you." Please read theoriginal content at NovelDrama.Org.
