Chapter 776
“Austin!” Grace exclaimed.
With a height of 15 feet, Austin was falling too quickly. Grace couldn’t catch her at all.
Just as Austin’s body was less than an inch away, it suddenly stopped.
Grace was so frightened that her face turned pale. She hurriedly rushed over.
Brian also heard Grace’s exclamation. He quickly hung up the phone and walked over.
Joy was so frightened that her face turned pale. She cried on the spot. Grace’s heart broke as she pulled Austin into her arms. “It’s okay. Don’t cry, Austin, it’s okay…”
Brian frowned. He squatted down and said softly, “Grace, she’s just a little frightened.”
Grace still had lingering fears when she thought of the scene just now. When she heard Brian say that, she glared at him angrily. “What do you mean just? What if there’s a problem with the rope?”
Jaclyn stood at the side, blaming herself so much that she didn’t know what to do. Seeing that Grace and Brian had quarreled because of it, she anxiously blamed herself. “Grace, don’t quarrel. Mr. Brian asked me to watch Joy just now. It was my negligence that caused Joy to fall.”
“Jaclyn, it’s not your fault. You don’t have to blame yourself.” With that, Grace looked at Brian coldly. “Dismantle all these things.”
“Gracey…” Brian felt helpless.
As she unbuckled Austin’s seatbelt, Grace said, “Are you going to let the child get hurt before you can stop?”
Just as Grace was about to carry the child back to her room, Austin suddenly grabbed her clothes. “Mommy, don’t dismantle it.”
Grace was stunned. “Austin, but you just fell.”
Austin shook her small head slightly. “I’m not hurt.”
Grace hesitated for a moment. “Then, let Dad make the seatbelt stronger. Okay?”
Austin nodded.
Grace glanced at Brian. “I’ll bring her back to take a shower first.”
“Okay.”
*****
Grace realized that Austin seemed to have gradually fallen in love with sports, so she planned to get off work early the next day and take Austin out for a run.
At four o’clock in the afternoon, Grace finished everything in advance and walked out of the office with her car keys.
She took the elevator to the garage on basement one.
As soon as he walked out of the elevator, two figures suddenly rushed out from behind. Grace’s expression froze and she quickly turned around. “Who is it?”
The two men wore black masks and caps, revealing only their eyes. They looked at the bag in her hand. “Hand over the money obediently, and we won’t make things difficult for you.”
Grace looked at them, but there was no fear in her eyes.
She suddenly laughed. “Robbery? That depends on whether you have the ability.”
With that, she walked straight to her car.
The two men looked at each other and quickly rushed up.
Although Grace was looking ahead, she was constantly paying attention to the actions behind her. When she noticed from the corner of her eye that a man’s hand was about to touch her shoulder, Grace suddenly paused and quickly raised her leg to sweep.
The man fell to the ground.
The other man didn’t expect this woman to have so many tricks up her sleeve and immediately became nervous.
Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced behind him. He seemed to grit his teeth and swung his fist at Grace.
The dress Grace was wearing today
made it inconvenient for her. She dodged and the man missed. He lay on the car and Grace took the opportunity to pull the man’s arm.
“Ouch!” he let out a cry.
In the dark, Alicia narrowed her eyes and secretly clenched her fists.
She didn’t expect Grace to be so strong when she looked weak. Even two men were not her match.
