In the Lap of Luxury

Grace fell into thought. She finally understood the whole matter.

Lydia had actually let Kayla off lightly by asking her to pay 30 million dollars. Grace hadn't expected this incident to cause more problems.

"Troy is Kayla's uncle. According to what he said, he took action to help Kayla fight against injustice."

Grace snorted coldly. "Does this have anything to do with Kayla?"

Xander didn't say anything. Instead, he handed his phone to her. She clicked on it and saw a video.

In the video, Kayla was crying. She explained tearfully, "Ms. Lewis, this matter has nothing to do with me! I didn't know about it at all.

"I just complained to my uncle a little. I didn't expect him to do that. You must believe me! I would never dare tell him to do that!"

She couldn't listen anymore and turned the phone off. "She's so good at shifting the responsibility to Troy."

Even if Kayla hadn't instigated this matter, it still had something to do with her!

"It would be better if this matter had nothing to do with her. Or she'll be jailed for instructing others to kidnap Lydia."

Grace's expression darkened. She looked at Xander. "Let's go in. I want to know what he has to say."

After she finished speaking, she took the lead and walked over.

Troy was excited when he heard someone coming. "You're here to let me go, right? It's illegal to lock me up! I can sue you! As long as you let me go, I can forget about it as if nothing had happened." Grace smiled sarcastically and walked closer to him. "As if nothing has happened? It would be too easy for you."

Her voice was as cold as snow, and he couldn't help but shudder. "Who are you? What do you want to do?"

She walked up to him and looked at him gloomily. "Do you recognize me?"

After he saw her face clearly, his tense nerves instantly relaxed.

Then, he smiled contemptuously. He clearly wasn't taking her seriously.

"Ms. Lewis? Did the Lewis family cover the crime in Pamore? How dare you lock me up? Aren't you afraid of the police coming to arrest you?

"Even if the police can't catch you, I know a big shot in the underworld. Have you heard of Max Stiller? He is ruthless and is famous in the underworld! If you hurt me, he'll avenge me!"

Max Stiller?

She raised her eyebrows. "Do you know Max?"

Troy mistakenly assumed Grace was scared when she heard Max's name and looked triumphant. He was good friends with Max.

"Max and I have a life-long friendship. We're better than real brothers. If something happens to me, you'll face the consequences!

"You have always been a businesswoman. You'd better not mess with the underworld. If you offend the wrong people, you won't be able to survive in Pamore!"

There was a hint of threat in his words. In his view, Grace was just an ordinary, wealthy lady. Apart from having some money, she didn't have any abilities.
