Henry and the three security guards, on hearing that Grace was about to fire them, quickly lay down on the floor and started begging.

"Please, Ma, don't do this to me, please. I promise it will never repeat itself." Henry begged.

"That's your own. Use this experience you have here and correct your next job in whatever company you find yourself. Now get out of here before I do something more terrible than just firing you." Grace shouted.

Henry and the security quickly stood up on their feet and scrambled out of the office. Grace was afraid that Gerald might not want to help her grandfather again due to the treatment he received from Henry, so she turned to him to apologize.

"I'm sorry for the way you were treated by the security guards and by Henry. It was never my intention. Please, forgive me." Grace begged.

He was pleased with the way Grace handled the situation and now he watched Fiona, waiting for her reaction.Fiona’s lips hung open as she tried to process Grace's words. She would have never expected Grace's reaction as she wanted her revelation of Gerald's past to cause an uproar. Now, instead of driving a wedge between them, Grace seemed to want Gerald even more and the way she clung to him just infuriated her even more.“B..but Miss Grace, you need to listen to me!” Fiona stuttered as she pointed a trembling finger towards Gerald. “He's not who you think he is!”“I know exactly who he is,” Grace cut her off coldly. “And I trust him more than anyone. So unless you have something worthwhile to say, I suggest you leave now.” Gerald flashed a smug smirk at Fiona which infuriated her even more.

You know the influence my grandfather holds so this isn't an empty threat.”Fiona's eyes widened in horror and Ivan started to feel very uncomfortable. They knew how powerful Grace’s family was and how far their reach extended. They never expected that their plan would backfire on them in this sort of way.
