Chapter 292
“Don’t call me Patric, it’s disgusting! Sarah, if you dare to lay a finger on Abigail, I won’t spare you!”
Patric shook off Sarah’s hand and hurried downstairs.
Sarah watched his retreating figure, her features contorted with anger. In a fit of rage, she violently
smashed a large blue and white porcelain vase in the hallway. She knew all too well that if Abigail
managed to escape tonight, Adrian’s reputation would be irreversibly tarnished. The Grammar family
would also face numerous challenges. But at that moment, none of it mattered to her anymore. Even if
she couldn’t ruin Grace, she was determined to destroy Abigail
Meanwhile, in Adrian’s room, Tao He was dealing with the media, while Euro rushed downstairs to
manage the situation in the garden. The extravagant banquet hadn’t even reached the point of
introducing the towering cake before many of the guests, unable to withstand the shocking scenes
displayed on the big screen, decided to leave.
Unfazed by the guests’ departure, Sarah ran downstairs through an alternate route, driven by her
madness to personally carry out her plan against Abigail.
In the meantime, Abigail had just finished her performance and was sipping on some juice. backstage
with her fellow group members at Butterfly Girls. But within a few minutes, she began to feel an intense
heat coursing through her body. Struggling to endure the discomfort, she leaned against the wall as
she made her way through the corridor, only to be forcefully abducted by a rough-looking, unkempt
man. He swiftly dragged her into the basement, slamming the door shut behind them.
Sarah arrived at the basement accompanied by five bodyguards, cameras at the ready, hoping to
capture Abigail’s predicament. However, upon opening the door, she was disappointed by the sight that
greeted her. Abigail was huddled in a corner, her eyes bloodshot, clutching a blood-stained steel rod.

Though trembling, she displayed a resilient spirit. Despite her once-delicate costume now in tatters,
there was no trace of embarrassment in her unwavering gaze-only an unyielding determination.
Realizing that the plan hadn’t gone as expected, Sarah seethed with anger. She couldn’t help but
wonder if she had fallen victim to a string of unfortunate events. The man whose nose Abigail had
bruised approached Sarah, his limp evident from her beating. He nervously addressed her, “Miss, this
woman is incredibly strong and resilient. I couldn’t defeat her!”
“Useless!” Sarah slapped him and turned her attention to Abigail, who remained defiant in the corner.
“Get her! Each one of you will be rewarded with a million dollars!”
Upon hearing her command, the bodyguards charged at Abigail, who pleaded desperately, “Stay away!
Don’t come any closer!”
Abigail swung her club frantically, but overwhelmed by the strength of several bodyguards, her weapon
was swiftly seized. Filled with panic and despair, she contemplated biting her tongue as a last resort.
Just as the bodyguards closed in on her, Patric intervened, launching a series of powerful strikes that
left the bodyguards sprawled on the ground, howling in pain. Sarah, who had leaned against the door,
was bewildered, unable to comprehend how all the bodyguards had been effortlessly defeated. Patric
crouched down, swiftly removing his suit jacket and using it to cover Abigail’s torn clothes. With his
large hand, he gently patted her face, urging her to open her mouth and preventing her from biting her
tongue.
“Abigail, it’s me! I’m sorry I’m late!” Patric’s deep voice resonated with familiarity, finally bringing a
sense of relief to Abigail. Overwhelmed with emotions, she collapsed into his arms, tears streaming
down her face.

Patric tenderly soothed her, patting her back to calm her racing heart. But inside him, a storm of rage
brewed. His eyes grew colder, and a chilling aura emanated from him.
Sarah, witnessing their closeness, lost all sense of reason. She rushed forward, attempting to pull
Patric away, her expression contorted in a grotesque manner.
“Why are you doing this to me? Why? I’ve loved you since we were children. I finally had the chance to
become engaged to you, but you’ve rejected me time and time again. You treat other women better
than me, Patric! Why would you treat me like this?! Her words grew more frenzied as she hammered at
Patric’s arm in a fit of anger.
Patric remained motionless, his eyes growing even more sinister. Unable to bear it any longer, he
struck her back with a resounding slap.
The force behind the slap was immense. Sarah’s face turned red, and blood trickled from the corner of
her mouth. Dazed and stunned, she covered her face, remaining silent for a long moment. ‘You hit me?
You actually hit me?”
In Patric’s pupils, a storm raged. He looked at Sarah with disgust, as if he had ingested a swarm of
flies. “I’ve never laid a hand on a woman, but you are worse than a beast!”
With those chilling words, he scooped up Abigail, who had fallen into a state of unconsciousness, into
his arms and swiftly exited the basement.
Sarah reached out, attempting to grab the hem of his trousers, but her actions were in vain. She
screamed in a frenzy, her mind unable to process the devastation of her meticulously planned scheme.
Everything she had worked for over the past two weeks had crumbled before her eyes, pushing her to
the brink of collapse.

Patric emerged from the Grammar family mansion, carrying Abigail to the waiting car. He instructed the
driver to look after her before turning back towards the Grammar family residence.
The situation in the garden had somewhat stabilized. Euro, wearing a grim expression, stood before
the remaining guests, offering apologies and attempting to restore order. Yet, Patric’s words. reignited
the chaos.
Stepping onto the stage, Patric picked up the microphone and addressed the guests gathered below. “I,
Patric, hereby publicly announce the termination of my engagement with Sarah. Furthermore, all
companies under my name will sever ties with the Grammar family indefinitely.”
“From this point forward, the Grammar family is on their own!”
Having vented his anger with those final words, Patric tossed the microphone aside and stormed away
in anger.
The sound of the microphone crashing to the ground reverberated through the air, followed by a shrill
feedback noise. The atmosphere once again grew tense.
The guests, who had been momentarily pacified by Euro, erupted in commotion once more. Outside
the gates of the Grammar family residence, Eder stepped forward, holding Grace in her arms. As they
prepared to enter the car, Patric’s solemn declaration reached their ears.
Grace raised her thumb in admiration. “Wow, Patric is so fierce! Just as I expected from my brother!”
Eder smiled and carefully settled Grace into the back seat. Grace graciously made room for her,
allowing her to join. As the car door closed, the cacophony of noise from the Grammar family mansion
faded away.
Like Eric, acting as the driver, started the engine, pressed on the accelerator, and drove them. towards
Golden Castle Residences. Grace couldn’t help but feel curious about the recent events. She turned
her head and asked, “Eder, when you were at Adrian’s room, why were you so.certain
that the person inside wasn’t me?”
