The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife (Joanna)

Chapter 990 On the hospital bed, Grace gripped the hem of Darcy's shirt. She refused to let go. Darcy had no choice but to stay by her side all the time! Darcy said, “Ms. Grace, rest well...” Grace felt a sour sensation in her nose. She looked at Darcy pitifully and said, “Darcy, please don’t call me Ms. Grace. Just call me Grace.” Darcy was at a loss for words. His eyes turned serious. His mind instantly went blank.

“Darcy, don’t leave,” Grace said. “Can you stay by my side? “I'm scared. Don’t leave me.” “Don’t worry!” Darcy said. “I'll always be with you. You can rest peacefully. With me around, | won't let anyone harm you again.” “Okay,” Grace said. She was touched. She nodded weakly and closed her eyes in relief.

With Darcy by her side, she felt an unprecedented sense of security.

Meanwhile, Cassius still did not know that Grace had already been rescued.

Now, his emotions were in turmoil. He was restless. Even more so, he could not even guess what Jaydon would do next.

He could only place all his hopes on Grace. He hoped that he could use her to threaten Jaydon and make him compromise.

He waited for another ten minutes.

Cassius could not stay calm and composed any longer. He took the initiative to call Jaydon again.

Beep. Beep. Beep.

“Hello!” Jaydon picked up the call. His voice was exceptionally calm, and he felt extremely confident.

Cassius paused for a few seconds, trying his best to be in control of the situation. “How is it?” he said. “Have you thought it through?” “I've thought it through,” Jaydon said.

Cassius was at a loss for words. He felt a sudden tightness in his chest. He was extremely anxious.

175 10.211 Jaydon said calmly, “I'll do as you say. | agree to your terms.” Upon hearing that, Cassius finally heaved a sigh of relief. He said, “Haha. That's more like it! A wise man knows how to take action strategically in dealing with difficult circumstances.” “Now you can hold a press conference and announce that I'll assume the position of chairman of Millego Group,” Jaydon said.

“In addition, prepare a promissory note of 6 billion dollars and get a lawyer to notarize it.” Cassius was excited. He was afraid that Jaydon would go back on his word, so he immediately agreed. “Great,” he said. “I'll immediately get someone to inform all the media reporters.” “Wait!” Jaydon said, suddenly interrupting him.

“Why?” Cassius said. “Are you going back on your word?” Jaydon said, “Il want you to hold the press conference at the square in front of Grimm Group's office.

“Also, inform all the senior executives of Grimm Group to be present.” Cassius was at a loss for words. His eyes turned serious. He felt a chill down his spine.

Jaydon added, “I'm worried that you won't keep your word, so | want the senior executives of the company to witness it.” Cassius hesitated for a few seconds before nodding in agreement.

“Alright,” he said. “Deal.

“Where are you now? | can send someone to pick you up.” “I'll be there when the reporters and the senior executives are all present,” Jaydon said.

Upon hanging up, Cassius quickly called Mike again.

“Hello, Mr. Grimm,” Mike said.

Cassius’s throat tensed up as he said, “Mr. Lopaz, hold a press conference immediately. Also, inform all senior executives of Grimm Group that they are to attend the press conference.

“The location is at the small square in front of Grimm Group’s office.” “Alright,” Mike said.

After Cassius finished talking, he suddenly thought of something. “Also, keep an eye on Grace, the wretched girl,” he said. “Don’t let her escape.

10:21 “Don’t do anything to her anymore. Listen to my orders.” “Got it,” Mike replied respectfully.

Now that the matter had not been settled, Grace was still his only bargaining chip.

After hanging up, Mike called Johnny again and told him not to teach Grace a lesson.

Beep. Beep. Beep.

The phone rang for a long time, but no one picked up.

Johnny and Skinhead were tied up tightly. The two of them were brought to a small dark room by Bruce’s bodyguards.

“Carson, there's a call from Mr. Lopaz,” Cherron said as he took Johnny's phone and handed it to Carson.

Carson's face tensed up. He placed the phone in front of Johnny and said, “Answer the call as usual. If you dare to leak out about the things that have happened, I'll immediately beat the shit out of you.” When Johnny heard that, he immediately nodded cooperatively. “Got it,” he said.

Then, Carson pressed the answer button and placed the phone beside Johnny's ear.

Johnny steadied his breath and said as usual, “Hello.” Mike's displeased voice came from the other end of the line. “Johnny, why did it take you so long to answer the phone?” he asked.

“Oh, | just went out... to pee,” Johnny said. “I didn’t bring my phone.” Johnny tried his best to maintain his composure, not daring to let Mike hear that something was amiss.

“What's the situation with that girl now?” Mike said. “Just let her suffer a little and scare her. Don't cripple her.” 1 “Okay,” Johnny said. “Don’t worry. We only made her go hungry for a few meals. We didn’t torture her much.” Mike was satisfied upon hearing that. “Great,” he said. “Continue to wait for further instructions.” “Will do,” Johnny said.

After hanging up, Johnny said nervously, “I've done everything according to your instructions. Can you let us go?” 10:21 “We can't let you go now,” Carson said.

“Please, could you give us some water to drink?” Johnny said.

Carson and the others ignored him.

An hour later, at the entrance of Grimm Group, a makeshift podium had been set up at the small square. On the podium, there was a table and a microphone that was mounted on a stand. A red carpet was also laid on the ground.

After the reporters from various media outlets received the news, they rushed to the scene. Many reporters from far away also rushed over one after another.

Below the podium, the senior executives of Grimm Group also appeared one after another.

Seeing so many reporters at the scene, the senior executives felt nervous.

“What's going on? Why is there such a big commotion?” “I don’t know. | heard that Mr. Grimm has an important announcement to make. | don’t know what it is.” “I know, right? Why are there so many reporters here?” “Looks like the announcement is very important...” “Mr. Grimm is here!” The senior executives stood in a respectful manner.

With an elegant smile on his face, Cassius strode onto the podium under the protection of his bodyguards.

“Click. Click.” Flashlights kept flashing.

Not only were the reporters curious, but even the senior executives of Grimm Group were especially curious.

A reporter at the scene could not help but ask, “Mr. Grimm, what good news are you announcing today? “I heard that Grimm Group will have a major change this year. Will you consider changing the business model of Grimm Group?” “Everyone, please calm down,” Cassius said. He still looked elegant and dignified despite being vigilant.

People like Cassius had long learned how to manage their expressions. Whenever they faced the camera, they always looked as if they were wearing masks.

10:21 Cassius said, “I gather everyone here today to make a very important announcement.

“Starting today, my younger brother, Jaydon, will be the chairman of Millego Group.

“As for the future development of the company, it will all be decided by him alone.” When the reporters and senior executives heard this, they were stunned. “Ah! Why, though?” “Could it be that Mr. Grimm suddenly has a change of attitude?” One had to know that some time ago, there were intense conflicts within Grimm Group due to unfair distribution of inheritance.

There were intense legal battles and mutual accusations between the parties involved.

The biggest disputes were between Cassius and Jaydon, Both sides wanted to annihilate each other.
