The Millionaire And His Billionaire Ex-Wife by Athena Chapter 218
Chapter 218
After hanging up, she ordered the decoration of the building and returned to her father’s mansion.
But first, she parked the car on the mountainside and gave Patric the spare key to the villa.
She went in to get some things, and then leisurely went to the ancestral hall.
immediately
As soon as they arrived a few meters from the entrance of the ancestral hall, they i heard the sound of crying. It sounded like Logan’s daughter-in-law, Monica.
“Ethan! You’ve seen how Logan’s face got damaged because of Grace. You can’t remain blased towards her for this matter!”
Their son, Lincoln, was also filled with righteous indignation: “Uncle, what she did was going too far. No matter what, my dad is still her elder and relative. Whatever displeasure you feel for him, it still wasn’t right to ruin him like this!”
Amidst the clamor of accusations from his brother’s family, he remained silent in his wheelchair, wrinkled hands lightly twisting a rosary.
Uncle Lloyd sighed from the side as if he was about to say something, but he never did speak.
Ethan noticed it and asked, “What can you say about this?”
“Ah, I wouldn’t dare, sir.”
“It’s alright. I’m here and I’m giving you permission. Don’t worry.’
Uncle Lloyd thought for a while: “Sir, I don’t think words should be the immediate basis to decide for this matter. Since Sir Logan’s side accuses Ms. Grace, then it should be right for them to produce evidence.”
Lianne, who was sitting on the side, was unconvinced. “Honey, you know Grace’s personality. She is used to being arrogant. It’s not surprising that she would do such a thing. What other evidence is needed?”
Ethan still remained silent, making it impossible for anyone to guess what he was thinking.
Logan suddenly stood up from his chair and walked towards the futon in front of the altar. “I swear with my life that it is true that Grace hurt me with sulfuric acid. If I lied, then let thunder strike me.”
Just as he finished speaking, there was a loud bang outside.
He was so frightened that he knelt on the futon and shrank into a ball, his legs shaking
Monica and Lincoln were pale with shock.
The atmosphere in the room became especially solemn because of the rumbling outside.
In this strange atmosphere, Grace’s crisp laughter came from outside the door, instantly attracting everyone’s attention.
She slammed the door open and strode in confidently. With an orange-flavored lollipop in her mouth, she sneered: “It seems like Uncle Logan’s oath is not true. Even G od doesn’t believe it.”
Anger was brewing in Logan’s heart that he felt like he was going to have a heart attack. “Grace! You made that sound of thunder, didn’t you?!”
Grace laughed even harder.
It was actually Twelve who had made that sound using the drums connected to a loudspeaker. Who knew they’d be so startled like this?
“Uncle is obviously hiding something, or why else would he be paranoid about being struck by lightning?”
“You brat!”
Logan suddenly turned around to face her.
Grace pretended to be surprised and said, “Uncle, what happened to your face? There seem to be a few words written here. Lazy person hm, well, these words really match you.”
Being humiliated further, Logan’s whole family couldn’t even describe the rage they felt.
Logan stood up abruptly and glared down at her..
“At least I dared to make an oath! What about you? Do you dare! Do you dare to say that you didn’t hurt my face with sulfuric acid?”
Grace disdainful asked, “Why should I? That’s what you want to do and it’s up to you. Why force me to do the same?”
“You can’t even dare yourself to promise that you didn’t do it!’ Lincoln interjected viciously.
“That tactic of yours doesn’t prove anything.”
Ethan still didn’t say anything even as he gave his daughter a gentle glance.
Everyone couldn’t read his mind, so they couldn’t dare say anything too out of the line.
But Grace dared to say. “Uncle, you’re accusing me but you don’t have proof. You have to show us the evidence. How can you let your family and Lianne bully me like this?”
Logan did not say anything. Lianne was annoyed and cried to Ethan, “Honey, look at her! She calls me by my name and doesn’t respect me. And she thinks I’m bullying her?!”
Ithan felt a throb in his head from all the quarrels. “Lianne, don’t add to the fight.”
Llanne pouted and stood behind him.
Only then did Ethan look at his brother, “Logan, my daughter is right. We need to have evidence
first.”
Logan: “She knocked me out and kidnapped me, Ethan. She took me to an unknown basement and performed atrocities on me. After that, she definitely cleaned every piece of evidence. Where am 1 supposed to get one?”
He pleaded with tears in his eyes. “Ethan, you know I’ve always loved my little niece, Besides, I’m soft-tempered and have never harbored thoughts toward the family’s assets. If she really hadn’t done what she did, how could I casually accuse her?”
“Of course, you can,”
It wasn’t Ethan who answered. He remained silent. Instead, it was Grace.
“Uncle had wanted to kill me a long time ago. When I was still in Frant City, he asked Lincoln to threaten Nick and poison me. Uncle couldn’t have forgotten this, right?”
Logan snorted coldly.
“Well, if you forgot, I have the evidence.” She opened her bag with a smile, took out a document, and passed it to Ethan.
Logan’s eyes trembled, but he did not say anything.
Lincoln couldn’t hold his snort. “Your evidence is only Nicle’s confession. Even if we can count it as one, it’s still not enough!”
The Millon
Grace took out the lollipop from her mouth and raised her eyebrows, “Oh, I didn’t expect that you already know about the evidence in my hands.”
As soon as she said this, apart from the few people who were gemtinely clueless, the others gradually realized that something was wrong.
Lincoln was stunned for a moment, but he quickly regained his composure. “I work in the State Affairs Bureau. Six months ago, Nick was imprisoned for stealing laboratory drugs. Of course, I know something about this.”
Grace let out a meaningful “Oh,” and smiled even more brilliantly.
“My dear cousin, you might be disappointed because this evidence contains more than just Nick’s.
confession.”
Just as she finished speaking, Ethan had already read through the entire evidence and had put two and two together. Without warning, he threw the teacup from the table at Logan’s feet.
The porcelain broke into pieces in a loud and sharp crash.
Lianne and Monica screamed at the same time.
Ethan’s hands were shaking with anger. “Logan! Lincoln!”
“Ethan?”
“See for yourself Ethan threw the document at Logan’s feet.
Lincoln stepped forward and helped Logan to pick it up.
The two of them looked at the evidence document together. Soon, their faces paled and they looked at Grace in shock.
She only looked back nonchalantly.
In the past six months, her eldest brother had already helped her to sort out the evidence and had Patric hide it in his villa.
Logan had never anticipated that she would collect all the evidence so quickly, so he was complacent and dared to speak out.
This was also the reason why she planned to come back to S City.
She looked at her father and asked innocently, “Dad, according to our family’s teachings, how should Uncle and Lincoln be punished for their cruelty towards their very own relatives just for the sake of wealth?’
Ethan looked gloomy and raised his voice, “Expel them from the family’s jurisdiction and send them to prison for strict handling!”
