Chapter 313 Wolf In Sheep’s Clothing

Max was unaware of this matter, so he asked in confusion, “Explain what?”

Grace smiled calmly and replied, “Now that things have come to this point, there’s no need for you to play dumb.”

Max’s face immediately darkened, and he turned to Shane. “What happened? What did you do to offend Ms. Lewis? Tell me the truth.”

Shane’s expression turned dark, and he leaned in to whisper

something.

Upon hearing it, Max slammed the table, exclaiming, “You reckless

idiot!”

Startled, Shane quickly tried to appease him. “Max, don’t be mad. It was a moment of impulse.”

Max tried to calm himself down and stay level-headed before Grace.

Shane had been with him for many years. He was Max’s right-hand man. It seemed unlikely that he would dispose of Shane just for

Grace.

So he smiled apologetically and said, “Ms. Lewis, perhaps there’s a misunderstanding here?”

Grace had a rough idea of what was happening and responded, “Max, I almost lost my life, and you’re telling me that it’s a

misunderstanding?”

Max knew Grace’s identity. Although he had some influence in the city, he didn’t dare openly confront Grace.

Thus, he played the mediator and poured a glass of wine and offered

IL LU

IVI. ՆԱՆԵ, Ժuynig,

Lewis, my the

WCIC

Take this as a token of my apology. Let’s forget the past and put a

full stop to this.”

Grace snorted coldly, extended her hand, and knocked the glass over. The glass fell to the ground, shattering into pieces.

Shane shouted in agitation, “Grace, don’t be ungrateful. Max has already apologized to you humbly. What more do you want?”

Grace looked at Shane and said, “What do I want? It’s simple. I want your life!”

Her words were filled with threat. Everyone present couldn’t help but shiver. They hadn’t expected her to command such power with her

words.

After a few seconds, Shane laughed, openly displaying his disdain for

Grace.

“You want my life? That depends on whether you have what it takes.”

Grace lowered her eyes and fiddled with her fingers. She seemed relaxed, but her words sounded eerie.

“I wouldn’t have come today if I didn’t.”

Seeing Grace’s determination, Max quickly intervened. “Ms. Lewis, calm down. It’s not good for your b*dy!”

Despite Max trying to smooth things out, Grace had to take Shane away today. This man had nearly taken her life and had to be held accountable.

“Max, make your decision. Will you hand him over or not?”

Max remained silent, but Shane became impatient. “Max, we can’t let a woman lead us by the nose. Who does she think she is? Just say the word, and I’ll take care of her.”

Max made a gesture, silencing Shane instantly.

He stood up, returned to his seat, and looked at the chessboard before him. He then said, “Ms. Lewis, how about a game?”

“Max, why play chess at a time like this? This woman is arrogant. Let’s just teach her a lesson.”

“Shut up.” Max was angry.

Since Grace had walked in, he had been acting like a wolf in sheep’s

clothing. This was the first time he had lost his temper.

Shane dared not say anything and stood silently on the side.
