Chapter 333 Stephanie Brings People to Take Photos of Grace to Threaten Her
The following day, Xavier got busy early in the morning. Grace told Xavier that he didn't need to drop her off; she would take a taxi to her destination later.
Xavier handed her a set of car keys, saying she could take any of his cars parked in the garage downstairs.
When Grace left, she went downstairs and picked a car.
Yesterday, after acquainting Lily with the surroundings, Grace was going to meet some partners to discuss business collaborations today .
To establish a big brand, sales were crucial. Besides online and offline channels, partnerships with other companies were also beneficial.
As soon as Grace arrived at the parking lot of the company she was visiting, she noticed two cars parking alongside hers.
Grace got out of her car, and the people from the other two cars did the same.
Leading the group was Stephanie; Several burly men followed her. Just by looking at them, Grace could guess what Stephanie was up to. After all, Stephanie had used this trick on Jessica before.
Jessica, who was the top socialite in Skigeth, had been so harassed by Stephanie that she didn't dare to leave her house. Stephanie also took videos and photos, ready to threaten Jessica at any time.
"Stephanie, what do you want?" Grace asked, looking at her.
Stephanie said, "Grace, you're in my hands now. You dared to slap me twice yesterday; today, I’m getting even!"
With that, Stephanie waved her hand, signaling the men behind her to move forward.
"Wait," Grace called out, "I only slapped you once yesterday; the other slap was self-inflicted."
Stephanie said, "I don’t care. Today, I’m going to show you what I’m capable of!"
Stephanie signaled to her men, who then started to surround Grace.
Grace could see that the car was equipped with cameras, lights, and other equipment.
Today, Stephanie was determined to get photos of Grace. If Grace dared to stay with Xavier, Stephanie would spread the photos everywhere, not caring if the whole world saw Grace naked.
She also wanted to see what kind of body Grace had that could seduce Xavier.
This was Stephanie’s way of showing some mercy; she didn’t directly arrange for a few men to assault Grace. This was her final act of kindness. If Grace complied, she would be fine. If Grace didn’t comply, she would have to face the consequences!
Outside the parking lot, some people were following Grace. They were watching the scene, ready to act if Stephanie made a move. They were all assigned to protect Grace; they must ensure her safety at all costs. If Stephanie tried anything, they would intervene immediately.
As they were about to step forward, the leader raised his hand, signaling them to stop. "Wait. Not sure yet, let’s observe a bit."
The situation seemed to be changing.
Grace looked at Stephanie. "Stephanie, come here. I have something to say to you alone."
Stephanie thought Grace was scared. "Now you’re scared? If you leave Oakworth, I might spare you."
Despite saying this, Stephanie walked over to Grace, intending to hear what she wanted to say.
However, Grace suddenly pulled out a small knife, grabbed Stephanie’s shoulder with one hand, and held the knife to her neck.
"Don’t move. The knife is very sharp. If you get a cut on your neck, don’t blame me," Grace said coldly.
After the incident with James from the Montgomery Group, who tried to kill her, Grace decided to carry some self-defense tools with her. Xavier had repeatedly warned her to be cautious of Stephanie, so Grace was prepared. Carrying a small knife for self-defense was proving useful now.
The bodyguards were stunned. Was Xavier’s girlfriend really this tough? Did she even need their protection?
Stephanie didn’t dare to move, fearing the knife would cut her neck.
Grace said, "Stephanie, we’re all adults here. If you try anything, I’ll return the favor tenfold. If you don’t believe me, you can try. Let’s see if people prefer to see my photos or the photos of you; being the Park Family heir and all."
Grace continued, "I don’t care, because I have nothing to lose. But you’re different. Are you sure you want to mess with me?"
Stephanie was indeed a bit scared.
Grace realized that this tactic worked well against both Madison and Stephanie.
Stephanie said, "Grace, don’t push it too far!"
Grace said, "Stephanie, you have your tricks, and I have mine. We’re not helpless people. I don’t mind if you like Xavier; if you can win him over, that’s your skill. But if you try to harm me, I’ll do the same to you. You can try if you don’t believe me."
Stephanie said, "Grace, aren’t you afraid I’ll tell Xavier about all this?"
Grace replied, "Go ahead. You can even record it on your phone. I’ll say it again or make a video. Of course, you should also tell him you brought a group to teach me a lesson. Do you think he’ll side with me or you?"
Stephanie said, "Grace, let me go, or they’ll really be rough with you!"
This tactic had always been useful, but why wasn’t it working on Grace? It was all Grace’s fault; she was so cunning and making her so angry.
Grace said, "I’ll let you go if they leave first."
Stephanie had no choice but to tell her men to leave.
After they left, Grace still didn’t let go of Stephanie.
Stephanie asked, "I’ve already told them to leave. What more do you want?"
Grace said, "I remember you went to Skigeth and took photos of a girl, right? Give me the negatives."
Stephanie said, "Why should I give them to you? Don’t push it, Grace!"
Grace said, "Give them to me!"
Stephanie said, "Fine, it's just a photo, here you go."
As long as that woman didn't seduce Xavier, it didn't matter whether the photos were kept or not. If she made any more moves in the future, she could simply take new ones.
Stephanie didn’t carry the photos with her, but they were on her computer. Stephanie called her men over and deleted the photos in front of Grace.
Grace even recorded a video of the deletion with one hand. This video might come in handy in the future, perhaps to make Jessica owe her a favor.
After deleting the photos, Grace didn’t immediately remove the knife from Stephanie’s neck. She led Stephanie out to a crowded area before letting her go.
The bodyguards protecting Grace realized she wasn’t the weak woman they had imagined. They even reported the incident to Xavier, who wasn’t surprised.
Grace wasn’t someone who would let herself be taken advantage of. Many people feared Stephanie’s status, but Grace never did.
Xavier instructed them to continue following Grace, as Stephanie wouldn’t be scared off so easily.
