Grace was annoyed by her words. “If that’s all you want to say, I’m hanging up.”
“Wait!”
Daisy said to her in a sincere tone. “It’s fine if you can’t catch the man, but the contract is about to expire. Hurry up and think of a way to get more money out of him!” “Mom! What are you talking about?”
“Am I wrong? Are you just going to take that 600 thousand dollars and leave?”
Grace did not want to talk to her anymore and hung up the phone.
Daisy called out twice. She lowered her head and looked at the phone that had turned black. She cursed, “Useless, ungrateful wretch!”
For the rest of the time, Grace was on tenterhooks every day. Every time Ava ordered her to do something, Grace was the
most enthusiastic
Because what Ava asked Grace was tasks to be done at home. No matter how hard and tiring it was, it was done in the villa. At least there was no danger.
This was the first time Ava saw Grace so obedient to act on her orders. Ava felt satisfied.
Ava had gotten a lot of rose seeds from somewhere and wanted Grace to plant flowers.
Without another word, Grace picked up the shovel and went to the courtyard to plant flowers.
Seeing that she was so obedient, Ava walked over and patted her shoulder. “You’ve been doing well recently! When the flowers are planted, you can go and rest for a while.” Grace lowered her head slightly and said, “Thank you, Miss Adkins, but I’m not tired. If you have anything for me to do, you can tell me. You can tell me if you want to eat anything.” Ava raised her eyebrows and tilted her head. “I don’t have anything I want to eat now. Let’s talk about it tonight.”
Oh.”
“Im going to take an afternoon nap!”
Grace lowered her head and planted the flowers. She deliberately slowed down her movements.
After planting the seeds, she went to find scissors and trimmed all the bushes in the courtyard,
The autumn weather was no longer as hot, but in the afternoon, the air was still very stuffy.
Grace’s back became wet un
under the sun.
Louise stood on the balcony with a coffee cup in her hand as she looked at Grace. Louise narrowed her eyes. Although Grace did not show any abnormalities, she had a feeling that Grace already knew something.

Louise put down her coffee cup and walked over.
“Grace, stop trimming. Let Melvin do the work.”
Grace’s b*dy stiffened when she heard Louise’s voice. She turned to look at Louise. “Miss Adkins, I’m not tired, I’ve trimmed the bushes before.”
Louise snatched the scissors from her hand. “Look, there are so many calluses on your palm. It doesn’t look like a girl’s hand!”
Grace silently pulled her finger away.
“Tell you what. Why don’t you go to the dry cleaners and pick up some clothes for me?”
Grace pursed her lips and looked at Louise for a while. Then, she said calmly, “Miss Adkins, actually, I’ll be leaving here in less than a week. You can let the other maids do your errands so that you can familiarize yourself with them in advance.”
Grace said this because she hoped that Louise would understand that she was about to leave this place and would not
become a threat to her and Brian.
Louise’s eyes revealed a sad expression. Seeing her change so quickly, Grace simply admired her acting skills.
“Grace, is your contract about to expire? I can’t bear to part with you. I just realized that I’ve been here for three months and haven’t gone out with you.”
Grace’s heart sank. “Louise wants to go out alone with me? Grace thought.
