The Millionaire And His Billionaire Ex-Wife
Chapter 238
Upon hearing her eldest brotherâs furious roar, Graceâs face turned pale with fright.
Oh no! Itâs over! I should have controlled myself!
Now things are going to get out of hand!
Eder remained silent, standing tall and proud, his deep eyes showing no hint of fear. There was even
a touch of arrogance, as if saying, âI wonât repent, and Iâll do it again next time.â
In Chrisâs eyes, his demeanor was nothing but a provocation.
Chrisâs anger soared, and he was about to pull the trigger.
âNo, no, no! Brother, youâve got it all wrong! It was me, me⦠I slept with him!â
â
Graceâs trembling lips struggled to speak, her embarrassment causing her toes to curl.
Compared to Ederâs life, her reputation mattered more, of course!
âIf you donât believe me, you can look at his neck. It was me⦠I couldnât control myselfâ¦â
As she spoke, her voice grew quieter, and she covered her face in shame. Her entire face, from cheeks to neck, was burning red.
The air suddenly became quiet, and the atmosphere became eerie.
Grace tightly covered her face, wishing she could dig a hole and hide in it.
Now she had no face to see anyone! Her scandalous affair in the hospital was not only known by the people of the same generation, but also her older brother and even her sister-in-law!
Ah, ah, ah! She couldnât face anyone!
Her heart was in turmoil, and suddenly her right ear was firmly twisted by a pair of large hands.
The grip was so tight that it seemed to add another shade of red to her already flushed ear.
âOuch! It hurts! Brother, weâre in public!â Both Eder and Eric are still watching.â Can you give me some faceâ¦â
Chrisâs anger was about to explode. âWell done, Grace! You have really brought honor to our family.
Should I praise you for that?â
âNo need for praise. Iâm very humble!â Just please go easy on the beating.
âHmph, still cheeky?â
Chrisâs gaze became dangerous, and he let go of her ear. Instead, he grabbed the back of her neck as if holding a little chick.
âLetâs go home! Now you can mourn for your legs for the last three minutes!TM
Grace covered her face, feeling like crying but having no tears.
Chris was really angry. Would she be beaten to death when they got home?
Chris was full of coldness as he turned and walked towards the car. However, someone grabbed his wrist from behind.
Eder narrowed his black eyes, his gaze cold. âChris, Grace is an adult. She has the right to choose what she wants to do. Besides, she is my fiancee. Whatever she does, there is nothing inappropriate about it.â
âI donât need outsiders to meddle in how I discipline my sister!â
Chapter 233
Chris stared at him mockingly. âIâve heard that the discipline in the Grant family is strict, but I never expected it to produce such a descendant who doesnât know how to behave. Donât think I donât know that you tempted and deceived her! After I break her legs, itâll be your turn!â
The two men locked eyes, sparks flying, and the tension thickened.
Chris tried to walk away, but Eder held his wrist tightly, refusing to budge.
Chrisâs anger surged, and he let go of Grace, quickly striking Eder with a palm.
He put all his strength into it, and Eder didnât retaliate. The palm landed squarely on his chest.
Eder let out a muf fled groan, stumbling several steps back. His face turned pale, and his chest was in excruciating pain. Chrisâs blow also aggravated his gunshot wound.
A metallic and sweet taste surged up, and he tried to swallow it back but couldnât hold it in. Crimson blood trickled down from his lips.
âEder!â Grace immediately rushed forward to support him, seeing him coughing up blood. She realized how hard her eldest brother had hit him and her eyes turned red with worry.
âChris! He was shot yesterday and was seriously injured. He just had surgery. How could you hit him!â
Chris looked at his own hand, then at Eder, who was in extreme pain, his face extremely weak. Clearly, he wasnât pretending. He felt a little guilty. âI thought he would fight backâ¦â
He knew Eder was skilled and could hold his own against him in a fight. But he didnât expect that Eder wouldnât dodge this time.
After recovering from the pain, Eder protected Grace in his arms, taking a deep breath. âChris, I am Graceâs flance. I have endured the punishment on her behalf. Is this blow enough? If not, I can offer you my legs.â
âNo! Ederâ¦â Graceâs eyes were filled with warmth as tears streamed down her face. She looked up at him with aching eyes.
He smiled bitterly and wiped away the tears from her face with trembling fingertips.
It really hurt. He could barely hold on.
âGrace, hold meâ¦â
Grace reached out and embraced him. He arched his back and weakly shrunk into her embrace, resting his head on her slender shoulder and quietly adjusting his breathing.
Chris stared at the affectionate couple, his expression still deep and solemn.
But when he saw his younger sister crying, he couldnât speak for a moment.
Laura let out a soft sigh and stepped forward, saying, âAlright, itâs already this day and age. Since theyâre engaged, does it really matter whether they have slept together or not? Itâs rare for Eder to suffer for her, so donât meddle in between them.â
He turned his head and glanced at his own wife, Why wasnât she speaking up for him?
So, he had become the only villain here?
He looked again at his younger sister and Eder.
One was crying miserably, the other was even more severely injured.
How did it feel like a bitter drama of him separating a loving couple?
And he was the antagonistâ¦.

Chris sighed heavily. âLet it go this time. Since heâs injured, both of you behave and listen to me during this time, understand?â
âI understand,â Grace pouted with a face full of grievances.
Chris softened his tone. âTake him back to check if his wound has reopened, but heâs not allowed to stay overnight at Jiâs house. He must go home, got it?â
Grace felt happy, her tears were not shed in vain. âThank you, Chris.â
âMm.â Chris withdrew his gaze and turned to leave.
Laura quickly ran to Graceâs side and whispered, âYour big brother may be tough on the outside, but heâs softest towards you. Donât be mad at him, okay?â
âLetâs go!â Chrisâs dissatisfied voice came from ahead.
âIâm coming!â
Laura comforted Grace by patting her shoulder and then turned to look at Eder approvingly. She turned around and ran back to Chrisâs side.
Once their cars were completely out of sight, Grace immediately checked Ederâs condition.
âDoes it hurt a lot? Can you still walk? Otherwise, should I ask Eric to carry you to the car?â
Eric vigorously nodded, his heart already in a mess!
Dr. Mark just said he couldnât get injured again, but as soon as they left the lab, their boss got beaten up again.
He quickly stepped forward, ready to shoulder the burden.
Eder ignored him, lifted his pale and handsome face, and cun ningly looked at Grace. âActually, when your brother made his move just now, I quietly stepped back half an inch. I wasnât seriously injured, I pretended. Donât worry.â
âReally? Donât lie to me.â
âIâd be a dog if I lied to you.â
Grace chuckled, âThen you should be called Dr. dog in the future! Or Grant Dog!â
