Chapter 226
“Will do,” Ethan replied. He had always been respectful to Jordan.
He then maneuvered his wheelchair behind Levi.
Levi had already been walking on eggshells, and the moment he heard the wheels rolling behind him, he jolted like a startled bird and hurried several steps forward in a panic.
Even when he reached his car, his heart was still racing.
It wasn’t like he hadn’t tried hiring people to assassinate Ethan over the years. However, Ethan had always reacted with chilling calm, never being injured, and never pursuing the matter of who was behind the attempts on his life.
Levi gripped the steering wheel tightly. He wanted nothing more than to get the hell out of there and confront Grace in person. Just what the hell was going on?
He floored the gas pedal, and as he neared his neighborhood, a car suddenly swerved in front of him and blocked his path.
Already in a state of paranoia, Levi slammed on the brakes, causing him to hit his head against the steering wheel. He almost passed out from the impact.
He took a deep breath and was just about to open the door to check what was happening when he saw Grace walking toward him.
While clutching his forehead, he sneered coldly.
“Well, well, well. To think you’d actually dare to show up here?” he thought.
He opened his mouth, ready to curse her and once again threaten her with her family. But before he could get a word out, Grace pulled a baseball bat from behind her and smashed it straight into his skull.
This was in his own neighborhood, in broad daylight. Was she insane? Wasn’t she afraid of the consequences?
Grace dragged Levi out of his car and shoved him into her own car.
Then, she called Tim.
“Mr. Bennett, how do you usually deal with people who try to murder Mr. Henderson?”
Tim paused for several seconds on the other end, then calmly said, “Come to Palm Bay.”
Grace was a little surprised. After driving over to Palm Bay, she handed over all the drugs Levi had given her.
Tim poured her a cup of tea. She took a sip and then watched as someone came to drag Levi away.
Tim followed shortly after-probably to interrogate him.
Left alone in the lounge, Grace grew

Palm
The place was huge, with several buildings nearby, all unoccupied. She had no idea what they were for.
She walked up to one uniquely designed building and heard faint sounds inside, so she pushed open the door.
Inside, Ethan sat calmly in his wheelchair, casually fiddling with his fingers.
At his feet was Levi, crying and begging for mercy.
Gone was any trace of his previous arrogance. Now, he looked like a pitiful mutt.
“Uncle Ethan, it wasn’t me! It was Grace! She did everything. I only nudged her a little! Who could’ve guessed she’d actually go through with it? A woman like her cant be trusted!
“Who knows who sent her? Uncle Ethan, you have to look into it!”
Clearly terrified, Levi was bawling with snot and tears running down his face.
Grace caught the metallic scent of
blood in the air. Her gaze dropped and she noticed Levi’s legs hanging limply.
It had only been ten minutes since he had been dragged in, and both his legs
were already broken.
So, Ethan could be this ruthless.
