Chapter 181
Nick was taken aback, his expression serious. “Tve been occupied with secret investigations during the day, so I didn’t inquire about last night’s incident. I genuinely don’t know, but
He paused for a moment and looked apologetically at Grace as he explained, “I’m sorry, Grace. Because I was angry with you last night, I didn’t stop B
from taking you away, leading to your suffering at the police bureau all night. But please believe me when I say that I haven’t changed. I’ll always be there for you. Nick!
With excitement in his voice, he reached out and held Grace’s delicate hand.
“Of course, I believe you.”
Grace replied with a smile. She calmly withdrew her hand and elegantly tucked her hair behind her ear. “By the way, my money has been in Evans’s possession for too long, and I won’t be content until I get it back. Nick, please assist me with that.”
Nick felt obliged to say, “Certainly, I’ll help you with anything you want to do.”
Grace smiled, her eyes filled with warmth.
The two of them chatted for a while, and it wasn’t until 8 o’clock in the evening that they finished their meal.
Grace declined Nick’s offer to escort her and instead drove back to Cloud View Villa with Twelve and Nineteen.
As she stepped into the backseat of the car, the smile on her face instantly froze.
The atmosphere inside the car was oppressively heavy, sending chills down her spine.
Twelve and Nineteen noticed her bad mood and wisely remained silent.
When they arrived at Cloud View Villa, Grace was surprised to see that the living room light was on. She entered the house and found Patric sitting on the sofa, wearing a peculiar expression.
“Patric, what’s the matter?” Grace asked, blinking her eyes in confusion.
Patric pointed to the phone in his hand and said, “It’s Chris. He called you and you didn’t pick up. So he called me just then.”

Grace held her breath for a moment, her heart racing
She had always been fearless, even daring to confront her father, but her eldest brother, Chris, was the one person she feared the most.
Seeing the displeased expression on her Patric’s face, she knew something was wrong.
As if on instinct, Grace’s legs weakened.
“Grace Smith!” her Chris’s stern voice suddenly resounded from the phone, “kneel down!”.
Grace was instantly dumbfounded.
It turned out that the phone call had been connected the entire time, and it was on speakerphone!
He called her by her full name from the start, indicating his anger.
Feeling unable to hide, Grace tremulously took the phone and sald, “Hrother, I’m sorry, please don’t be angry”
“What did you do wrong?” Chris’s voice came from the other end, cold and emotionless.
Patric held his breath, afraid to say a word.

Grace pondered for a while. Honestly, she didn’t even know. “I did everything wrong. I made mistakes all over.”
“Grace!” he said through gritted teeth.
Grace dropped to her knees upon hearing his voice, desperation evident in her tone. “Brother, I truly understand my mistake. I’m kneeling down, alright?”
There was a two-second silence on the other end of the phone. Chris restrained his anger and said, “””This is not your first offense, right? Let’s forget about the previous incidents. But this time, you went too far, publicly humiliating someone in front of numerous staff at the bar. What if that person became desperate and harmed you? What if you got hurt again?”
Grace mumbled, feeling a bit defiant. However, when she glanced at Patric, Patric, who was signaling her not to provoke further anger, she softened her tone. “I understand. I won’t dare to do it again.”
She couldn’t believe it! Her brother was being so harsh!
Chris sighed, feeling somewhat helpless. He paused for a moment before changing his tone to a slightly warmer one. “Since you’ve already kneeled, then kneel for an hour. Patric will supervise. Do you have any objections?”
“Huh?” Grace wanted to protest. She had plenty of objections!
But she quickly realized it was futile. “Chris, my knees will swell if I kneel on the marble floor for too long””
“It seems you haven’t learned your lesson yet. Then it will be two hours,” Chris replied firmly.
“Chris!” Grace pleaded, feeling aggrieved. “Alright, just two hours. I’ll kneel. Can’t you forgive me after the punishment?”
She couldn’t believe how harsh her brother was being! Were all powerful men so strict? She finally hung up the call, her eyes misty and full of grievances. “Patric”
Patric gave her an assuring look. “It’s alright, girl. I’m here for you
She couldn’t believe it! Patric was also relentless!
