Chapter 203
Moreover, it was a serious offense to fool the huge Henderson Group.
Grace certainly knew about that, but there was no other way. She lowered her eyelashes and said, “Mr. Henderson is kind and has good manners.
“He won’t turn against our family just because we go back on our word. He’ll only disregard us at most.”
Otherwise, he would have already taken revenge on her for the incident with his legs back then.
Quentin said, “Grace, you already did him wrong back then. His legs-“
Grace quickly cut him off. “I know, but it’s the worst to be weighed down by such matters in the business world. Dad, you’re too soft-hearted, which is why you still keep those corrupt executives.”
Her words were harsh, and she immediately regretted saying them.
But Quentin fell silent, then chuckled lightly. “That’s why your grandfather said that I would never achieve anything big. If I don’t get through it this time, he’ll lecture me again when I meet him in the underworld later.”
“Dad, don’t say that. You’ll be fine.”
Quentin’s eyes instantly reddened, and he motioned for Grace to sit beside him. “Grace, now you are exactly how your grandfather hoped you would be.
“Over the years, I have indeed held a grudge against you because of his death. But I’m also a human, and I can’t completely forgive you. Now seeing you so clear-headed, I’m very pleased.”
His gaze unintentionally shifted to her neck. It had been quite wild at the hotel last night. Although she had covered it up as much as possible today, it still showed.
He let out a sigh of relief. “Do you have a boyfriend now? He must be a really good person. Well, at least you won’t keep holding on to Yancey.
“He’s not the right match for you. He is immature; he won’t become a good husband even if he marries Alice.”
Indeed, the older generation’s judgment of people was still very accurate-Yancey really wasn’t suitable to be a husband.
Quentin was very happy, and his eyes brightened a little. “Bring him to see me when you have time. Your marriage is also one of the things I care about the most.”
Grace felt a bit awkward, remembering she hadn’t even seen what Ed looked like, so she quickly changed the subject.
“There will be a chance, but we’ve only started seeing each other. We don’t really know each other yet. It’s still too early.”
Quentin’s mood lifted even more, and he was much more relaxed. “Alright, alright, as long as he’s reliable. I’m not asking you to marry into a distinguished family. Let’s just live our lives peacefully.”
Grace’s eyes grew a little teary; she had indeed neglected Quentin’s feelings lately. She had forgotten that family was complicated-it could bring pain, but it could also bring peace and happiness.
Quentin patted the back of her hand. “After this, you should properly apologize to him. I was worried that a hopeless romantic like you would fall for him once you joined Henderson Group.
“I couldn’t even sleep for days. People will only laugh at you if you pursue Yancey, but you might lose your life if you pursue Ethan.”
Grace was a bit puzzled, wondering if Ethan was really that terrifying. “He’s actually a kind person,” she explained.
“Grace, you can’t even imagine the fight within the Henderson family. Ethan’s older brothers have several sons, and Ethan was groomed from a young age to be an heir. Assassinations are common to him.
“Most importantly, he is as cold as a machine. It’s hard to imagine how much a woman would suffer after being with him. She’d probably only see him a few times throughout the year.”
That was true. Even when Ethan encountered beautiful women at the negotiating table, he never spared them a glance. He was just like a machine without the concept of gender.
Back then, Eleanor was truly amazing to be able to make him fall for her.
