BookToReadChapter 198 Chapter 198 At the hospital, Quentin had been moved out of emergency care. He had collapsed from too much anger and shock. Grace noticed the hair at his temples had turned gray. Seeing that video must have devastated him. She stood silently by his bed, suddenly feeling regretful. Quentin stared vacantly at the white ceiling before finally asking, "Has Alice chome?" Awhole night had passed, and no one had gone to pick her up.
Carmen still really loved and respected her husband, despite everything. Her eyes were swollen from crying. "You suddenly passed out. How could I think about anything else? Besides, the kidnapping was fake anyway. She'll cback on her own. "How are you feeling now? Are you okay?" Quentin looked terrible, as if he might not make it through his next breath. He closed his eyes and took several slow breaths. He then opened them again to look at Grace.

But he slowly lowered it again as if he had no strength anymore. The sight made Grace's eyes burn with emotion, her chest tight with pain. ---- After a long pause, she said, "Don't worry about the company. I'll get that project back.
Lambert Group will survive this crisis." During the night, while Quentin was unconscious, she had researched the situation and discovered just how crucial this project was. It wasn't just Lambert Group's chance for a comeback- it was their survival. The company had been operating at a loss for years, with Quentin shouldering the burden alone and keeping it from everyone.
Meanwhile, Carmen and Alice had been spending lavishly, and even Grace, too, All the pressure had fallen on Quentin as the family's pillar. But this time, it was too much for him to bear. Quentin remained silent. His throat hurt, and he didn't know what to say. The heavy atmosphere was broken when the door suddenly opened, and then Liam walked in. He had already heard about everything from the maids. When he saw Quentin's current state, his heart ached.
Quentin looked like he had aged 20 years overnight. Liam opened his mouth to say "Dad", but tears immediately ran down his face. Embarrassed, he quickly moved behind Grace, quietly wiping his eyes. When he saw his useless son, Quentin felt a tightness in his chest. At least Liam had good values and never tried to hurt anyone. He might be foolish, but he was not a dangerous person. ---- Just as he slowly closed his eyes, he felt someone take his hand.
Grace's voice cto his ear, "Dad, I wasn't lying just now. I will get that project back." Quentin had little hope. Henderson Group was too powerful - once they stepped in, there would be no turning back. Grace added one more thing, "Rest and recover. If Alice comes back, don't let her near your medicine. She's capable of anything." Carmen heard this and wanted to defend Alice out of habit.
But remembering the projection she'd seen last night, the words stuck in her throat, and she couldn't say anything. She had never really known her daughter. As Grace was leaving, she ran into Alice arriving with police officers. Alice was a complete mess. Her clothes were torn to shreds, her eyes were swollen, and her hair was wild and tangled. She pointed right at Grace. Sir, that's her.

I suspect she planned this whole thing!" Her eyes were filled with hatred, as if she wanted to drag Grace to hell with her. Upon seeing Alice's condition Grace realized Brent must have assaulted her in must revenge. Alice was clearly not in her right mind. She lunged toward Grace like a madwoman. "It's all because of you! If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be living such a miserable life! Just die!" The police quickly restrained her but still placed handcuffs on ---- Grace's wrists.
Grace found this almost laughable.
"May I ask what crI've committed?" "Given the victim's accusations against you, we need you to cwith us. She suffered a serious assault last night."
