My Ex-husband Begs Me Back

Chapter 1408 Discarded

Chapter 1408 Discarded

Grace knocked on Brody's study door. Brody was already angry with Grace for agreeing to let the coroner get involved and not stopping Camille from joining forces with Ayan to control the Armstrong family. With Ayan's people guarding the house these past few days, Brody had nowhere to vent his frustrations. So, when he saw Grace, he looked at her with anger.Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

"What are you doing here? Do you still remember that this is your home? Do you think you can rely on Camille just because your wings are strong now? Let me tell you, this is just the beginning. Camille might just be using you. Don't forget, your relationship is not good. She's only cozying up to you because of Armstrong Corp."

Brody's words were filled with anger and displeasure, his face betraying a cold expression. He leaned against his desk, his eyes and face full of disgust and displeasure, as if Grace had desecrated his family's grave.

But Grace was not intimidated by his every move. Instead, she pushed the door completely open, and calmly spoke, "Dad, something's happened. Auntie came with me today to sort out Mom's things. | just received a call. Auntie said Vere has been kidnapped and the ransom is five million. Dad, | don't have that kind of money. Can you lend it to Auntie?"

Before Grace could finish her sentence, Brody was already standing up from his chair.

He looked at Grace with concern in his eyes and asked, "What did you say? Vere was kidnapped? What nonsense are you talking about?"

Brody was worried, excited, and uneasy.

But Grace did not respond to his question. Instead, Regina took over. She followed Grace into the study and looked at Brody, speaking softly, "It's true. | just received a call. Look, they even sent me a message. | called Vere's phone, and | heard his ringtone coming from the kidnapper's phone. | called home, and Auntie said Vere went out to buy something. It must be Vere. Hurry and get the money to rescue Vere."

As parents, after their son had been kidnapped, they were naturally extremely worried and anxious.

Even in a situation where they weren't supposed to show concern for each other, they couldn't help but reveal their anxiety and urgency.

Regina even reached out and grabbed Brody's arm, fearing he wouldn't agree, her eyes full of panic and confusion.

Grace's eyes turned colder, not wanting to witness the couple's unruly behavior. She cleared her throat and spoke again, "Dad, you know Auntie's situation. When Mom was around, Mom always helped her. Now that Mom is gone, but Auntie still has a connection with our family. Auntie even calls you brother-in-law. You should help her, right?"

Regina nodded in agreement, "Yes, yes. Grace is right. Please help me, brother-in-law, please?” Brody was visibly troubled, "| want to help, but | can't come up with that much money right now." Regina's worry deepened, and her eyes showed dissatisfaction as she looked at Brody, somewhat accusingly.

Grace, seizing the opportunity, suggested, "Why don't you sell a portion of Armstrong Corp's shares? You wanted to dilute Horace's power, right? Well, then you should sell some shares to someone to constrain Horace. If they become a nuisance, Horace won't be able to handle it and might eventually sell his shares back to us."

This was what Horace had taught her on their way back last night. She knew that Ayan had given Horace an idea, so what she was saying now was just the appetizer to that idea. If Brody wavered, then the idea would be halfway to success.

Regina instantly agreed with Grace, nodding her head, "Grace is right. Sell a portion of the company's shares. Just a portion. Nothing else matters now. Vere is the most important. You must save Vere."

Brody remained silent, his face dark, his eyes only glancing at Grace and Regina with displeasure. Brody remained silent for a long time, leaving Regina desperate.

Grace, trying to further push Brody, said, "Dad, what are you hesitating about? Vere is just a child, well-behaved and a good student. Mom loved him. Even if you don't do it for anything else, do it for Mom's sake. If | had the money, | would help Auntie without hesitation.”

Regina went along with Grace's words, "Yes, yes. Listen to Grace. Please help me, brother-in-law." Brody's face showed his distress, "| want to help, but | can't come up with that much money right now.” Regina's worry turned to frustration, and she grabbed Brody's arm tighter, her eyes reflecting her panic and desperation.

This back and forth conversation made Grace suppress a laugh. If they weren't in this situation, they might have torn each other apart, wouldn't they?

Their relationship didn't seem as friendly as imagined!

Grace hid her smile and looked at Regina, pretending not to understand and asked, "Auntie, wpatgre go") ing toaio? Vel something's off. Is there a misunderstanding between you and dad? Auntie, don't be upset. | will talk to dad and convince him. You can trust me!" Please read the original content at NovelDrama.Org.

Regina's face stiffened. She couldn't hide her embarrassment, especially since Grace's every word felt like a slap to her face. She bit her lip, feeling awkward and unsure of how to respond.

Grace couldn't help but find it a bit amusing. Due to Regina's silence, Grace continued, "Dad, meee hesitatin fgrwennisust a child. ‘Devalhaved and bright. Mom loved him. Even if it's because of Mom, you should help Auntie and Vere. If | had the money, | would help Auntie without hesitation." Please read the original content at NovelDrama.Org.

Regina, trying to put pressure on Brody, added, "Are you really unwilling to sell some shares to save Vere? a aa Maybe it s just. prank end ArSetumn tha mandy you untouched. Just a small sacrifice from you can ensure Vere's safety without any accidents. Is that too much to ask for? If you don't agree, | can't guarantee | won't do something, or say something?"

Grace understood Regina's intentions clearly. So, how could Brody not see through it?

Their conversation made Grace find it somewhat amusing. If they weren't here, these two might have completely torn each other apart!

So, their relationship didn't seem as friendly as it appeared!

Grace contained her laughter and looked calmly at Regina, playing dumb and asked, "Auntie, what are you planning to do? | feel something's weird. Is there a misunderstanding between you and dad? Auntie, don't be upset. | will speak to dad and convince him. You can relax!"
