Chapter 301
Eleven nodded in agreement.
Grace shifted her attention away and glanced again at the phone number Nick had noted. She
instructed Eleven, “Reach out to Dark Bell and thoroughly examine this number.”
“Yes, Miss.”
Meanwhile, at Old Master Grant’s villa…
“Grandfather, did you summon me?”
Eder entered the hall and respectfully bowed to Old Master Grant, who was seated on the sofa across.
from the coffee table. Old Master Grant looked up.
When his gaze landed on Eder, who was dressed in a wool coat, he initially felt unfamiliarity. He didn’t
immediately recognize him as his grandson.
“Now that someone is taking care of you, you have indeed transformed. Look at your clothing: it’s much
more stylish.” Old Master Grant curiously inspected him from head to toe and smiled with
contentment.
He remained silent, composed, and steadfast.
“Please sit down.”
Old Master Grant, his wrinkled hand caressing the handle of his walking cane, hesitated for a moment
before saying. “In fact, the reason I summoned you here today is that someone wishes to meet you and
personally offer an apology. I had no choice but to serve as an intermediary.”
Eder had just settled onto the mahogany sofa when he heard these words, causing a slight frown on
his forehead.
Old Master Grant cleared his throat. “Enter.”
Taking the lead, Euro walked into the hall. Adrain followed closely behind him, bowing his head. The
injuries he sustained a few days ago have mostly healed now.
Eder didn’t lift his eyes, his expression indifferent, his deep black pupils seemingly bottomless. He
poured himself a cup of tea, conducting himself elegantly and noblely in every movement. With calm
composure, he blew on the antique porcelain tea cup.

ingratiatingly turned his attention to Eder, saying. “Eder, have you been well these past few days?”
Eder ignored him, not even greeting him.
Old Master Grant lightly tapped his cane as a reminder. “Ed, is this the proper attitude to have in front
of your elders? Reply immediately and respectfully.”
“Should I treat disrespectful elders with respect? Should I give consideration to elders who have raised
such beastly offspring? I have always made the distinction.”
“Eder!” Adrain stood beside Euro and became incensed when Eder insulted his father.
“It’s fine.” Euro smiled amiably, seemingly unbothered. He lowered his posture and spoke softly to
Eder, “Nephew, regarding the incident last time, my son, Adrain, behaved improperly. I beat him
severely afterwards, and today I brought him here to apologize to you in person. If you still feel
unhappy, whip him to your heart’s content! I have absolutely no objections!”
As he finished speaking, he signaled to Adrain. Suppressing his feelings of humiliation, Adrain
circumvented the coffee table and walked to the front of Eder’s sofa, bending down in a standard.
ninety-degree bow.
“Eder, I apologize for what happened that day. My rationality was consumed by drugs, and it was in a
state of confusion that I called Grace’s name. I had no intention of defiling your fiancee. Moreover, I
deeply respect the relationship between you and Grace.”
His words ended with a faint smile from Eder. Eder set down his teacup and gave him a cold, disdainful
glance.
“Are you intentionally doing this? Both you and I know it very well. There’s no need to perform this
pretentious apology act for my sake. It’s a waste of time.”
He stood up and looked at his grandfather. “Grandfather, if there’s nothing else, I’ll go back. I have a
video conference with the company later.”
Old Master Grant noticed his resolute attitude. While everyone else pleaded with him, this kid showed
no respect.
Although annoyed, Old Master Grant remained composed. “Alright, proceed ahead. After all, you are in
charge of the Grant family now. You have your own judgment scales.”
With the approval he received, Eder turned his head and walked away.
Adrain was unwilling and called out to him, “Eder, how can you be so unforgiving? I admit to my
mistake in this matter, but it hasn’t caused any harm to you or the Grant family. It hasn’t tarnished
Grace’s reputation either. Can’t you let go of the Grammer family? Can’t we reconcile?”
“I have to forgive you just because you apologize? Who made that rule?”
He sneered, leaving these words hanging ominously as he strode out of the door in long strides.
Euro was infuriated by Eder’s unyielding attitude but could only instruct Adrain, “You should talk to the
Eder separately. Have a proper conversation, and don’t be too confrontational. I’ll chat with Master
Grant about some family matters.”
“Alright.”
Adrain nodded as he chased after him. It was drizzling outside, but Adrain didn’t bother with an
umbrella as he ran towards Eder..
“Eder!”
Eder didn’t look back, seemingly ignoring him as he walked.
Unable to find another way, Adrain changed his tone. “If you’re so concerned about me calling her
name, why don’t you care that she’s been married before? She’s not a first-timer in that aspect!”
Eder abruptly stopped in his tracks.
Seeing his reaction, Adrain caught up with him. “Regardless of whether the Eder truly likes her, it’s not
wise to terminate all cooperation with the Grammer family because of her. Although the Grammer
family has faced a major crisis, our foundation remains strong, and it’s only a matter of time before we
overcome these difficulties. Why won’t the Eder extend a helping hand to the Grammer family? Isn’t
mutual benefit a viable option?”
Eder narrowed his dark eyes, his face gloomy, and exuded a dangerous aura.
Instead of answering immediately, he called out, “Eric.”
Eric understood and handed him the umbrella. Then he stepped forward and delivered a powerful
punch to Adrain’s face.
Adrain couldn’t withstand Eric’s strength. He was punched and fell to the ground. His mouth was
swollen, and two of his molars had loosened.

He spat out some blood onto the ground, somewhat perplexed. “Eder?”
Eder held the umbrella in one hand and lazily stuffed the other hand into the pocket of his woolen coat.
From a superior position, he glanced down at the person on the ground.
“Adrain, it’s wise if you stay far away from me whenever you see me. Otherwise, every time I see you,
I’ll hit you.”
“Why? Just because I said a few unpleasant words about Grace?”
Eder frowned, his dark eyes filled with savage cruelty. Understanding his intention, Eric ruthlessly
kicked Adrain in the stomach.
Adrain howled in pain, clutching his abdomen and curling up into a ball. Eder relished in his suffering,
and the violent emotions in his eyes subsided to some extent.
“Extend a helping hand to the Grammer family? Mutual benefits? Hmph, the Grammer family probably
won’t have the qualifications in the future. The likes of the Grammer family, on par with the Grant family
as one of the Four Great Families, are a disgrace. Do you still dare to hope for a day when your family
can stand up again?”
Adrain was furious. “Eder, go ahead and be arrogant. Those who climb high will fall hard! I’ll wait for the
day when you meet a miserable end!”
Eder didn’t argue back. Instead, he reached out his hand to Eric for money. Eric took out his alligator-
skin wallet and counted the bills when Eder grabbed it from him.
He quickly glanced at it, finding only a few thousand yuan. However, it was more than enough for the
Grammer family, which is currently destitute.
He took out the bills and threw them all at Adrain. The pink-colored bills sc attered on the ground were
quickly dampened by rain and mud.
“This is for medical expenses. If Young Master Adrain finds it insufficient, you can appeal to the Grant
family and have the finance department provide a medical bill. Don’t say I’m unreasonable for hitting
you.”
With a sarcastic remark, Eder turned coldly, retracted his gaze, and walked away.
Eric quietly leaned close to his ear and chuckled, “Boss, the way you just sc attered money, you’re
becoming more and more like Miss Grace. Could this be what they call a married couple’s
resemblance?”
