NovelOnlineChapter 140 Chapter 140 Grace ran into Jodie when she returned to the top floor. Jodie hadn't known she worked at Henderson Group until now. Her eyes widened in shock, and her voice cracked as she screamed, "Grace!" She quickly strode over, raising her hand as though to slap her, but for sreason, she hesitated and lowered it with a sharp look. Her voice seethed with fury. "How dare you show up here? I get it now. You're here to harass my brother again! How shameless can you be? My brother is getting married!" Her voice was so loud that nearly everyone in the surrounding workstations could hear. Grace furrowed her brows. She was ready to respond when Tim suddenly walked over. Tim was all polite in front of Jodie. "Ms. Henderson, please go in. The CEO is free to see you now." A flash of joy crossed Jodie's face at his words. She barely spared Grace another glance before running toward the CEO's office and slamming the door behind her.

She sat at her workstation and neatly arranged the files before getting up to go to the CEO's office. She knocked on the door upon arriving. "Cin." Ethan sat at his desk with a collection of delicate desserts beside him, likely brought by Jodie. Meanwhile, Jodie was chattering away about recent events.
"Uncle Ethan, I just slapped that person right across the face when they tried to frme. They were completely stunned. I remember you saying not to hold back when I hit someone, and you'd handle everything afterward!" Ethan paused momentarily, still holding a pen in his hand, before responding flatly, "Mm, that's very impressive." Jodie was eager to continue but suddenly noticed Grace was also in the room. Her eyes flashed with quick disdain.
"What are you doing here again?" Grace didn't engage with her. She placed the files next to Ethan and gently tapped them. "Mr. Henderson, would you mind confirming this? The other party is looking for-"" Jodie interrupted her before she could finish. "Grace, can't you see I'm talking to my uncle? Can't you deal with your business later?" Grace's expression remained calm, and just as she was about to retort, she saw Ethan push the files aside. "Clook forlater," he said ina flat tone.
---- She froze briefly, processing his words. She retrieved the files after several seconds while maintaining a respectful attitude. "Alright." While opening the office door, she could hear Jodie's excited voice. "Uncle Ethan, then she said she would call the police to havearrested. Do you know what happened after that? I called Tim, and she apologized." This scene could appear warm were it not for the hidden affection in Jodie's eyes.

Grace couldn't shake the strange feeling that lingered in her chest after she returned to her workstation. She went to the break room to get swater. As she was filling her cup, she overheard a conversation. "Don't you think Ms. Henderson and the CEO are a bit too close?" "She heard someone was secretly in love with the CEO the last tshe cby and slapped the person right away. She then called them a peasant pining over the prince." "Also, the CEO really dotes on her.
I heard she even has a personal bodyguard at her university." "They're from the Henderson family, so it isn't strange, right? It's just the CEO being indulgent with his younger cousin." "You're wrong. I overheard gossip at a nightclub, and it cfrom Ms. Henderson herself. Apparently, she was adopted by the Henderson family and has no blood relation to them." Grace took a sip of water and calmly knocked on the door.
