Grace tossed the card and turned sharply on her heel. She wasn't about to waste another second there.
Fear drained the color from Liam's face. He rushed forward, grasped her hand, and dropped to his knees. "Grace,
please don't be angry! Hitif you must, but please, don't be angry. I'm begging you!"
Irritation welled up within Grace, and she attempted to dislodge her hand, but Liam maintained a firm grip. He
kept her hand pressed against his own cheek.
Overcby panic, tears now began to cascade down his face, his eyes fixed upon her with a look of hopeful
supplication.
"Let go, Liam." She struggled harder. "This trick doesn't work every time. | don't have the patience for this
anymore."
Yet he held on to her hand with all his strength, kneeling stubbornly on the floor without any intention of rising.
Off to the side, Andrea, unable to bear the scene, began to rebuke her. "Grace, what's the meaning of this? No
matter what, Liam's your own brother. Have you forgotten your father's last words to you? Now you want to
abandon him? If Quentin could see this from his grave, he would never forgive you!"
Liam bit his lip and shot her a threatening glare. "Shut up."
Andrea snorted coldly and turned away. "I'm speaking for your sake. | wouldn't want the father of my child
constantly groveling before others."
Grace no longer spared them a glance. She was too tired to be angry, too numb to care at this point-she was
exhausted.
At last, she turned to the kneeling Liam. "Let go. | need to leave; there are still many urgent matters at the
company."
Tears and snot smeared across his face as he sobbed. "Grace, please don't abandon me. | know | made a

Before he could finish, Grace cut him off with a chilling firmness. "Then have her get rid of it."
The room fell abruptly silent. Liam stopped crying, and he said nothing more.
Andrea, by contrast, exploded with rage. "Grace! You're a woman yourself, yet you would force another woman
to have an abortion? There's not a shred of humanity in you! Liam's your brother, and this child's your kin! How
can you be so cruel? Lettell you something | will never abort this child! | will give birth to it, no matter what!"
Grace suddenly lowered her gaze and patted Liam gently on the shoulder. "You're not even 20 yet," she said
quietly.
Liam's gaze dropped, his voice worn raw. "But Dad taughtthat a man honors his promises-especially to
women. Andrea was my first and she was there fowhen | was barely holding myself. | can't turn away from
that, Grace. | just can't..."
It seemed like, in the end, even his heart had softened.
Upon hearing these words, a spark ignited in Andrea's eyes. Joanne was right- Liam was still a naive young man
who could be easily manipulated.
She immediately dropped to her knees as well, her eyes red-rimmed with tears.
"Grace, please don't make things
harder for him. Whatever it is, he's still your family. Isn't it enough that I'm the one to blame? | love him, and I'm
withing to bear his child Could you not simply let us be I'll stay by his side, always."
Grace looked at their pitiful act and suddenly laughed. So in the end, she had becthe villain.
She fixed Andrea with a mocking stare. "What's this? You've given up on Ethan?"
Andrea's face reddened
momentarily, but she quickly
regained her composure and spoke with conviction. "Mr. Henderson and
| are worlds apart. In the course of
my relationship with Liam, fell in love with him, and I'm determined to bring this child into the world."
Grace drew in a deep breath, her thoughts drifting to the late Quentin. Slowly, she crouched down, eyes locking
firmly onto Liam's.
"Liam, you need to think carefully. I'm
keeping you here for your own good.

Liam opened his mouth but found no words to answer.
Fearing he might waver, Andrea scrambled forward on her knees, seizing his hand with desperate strength.
