Chapter 449 Having an Affair with Her Husband's Father Through the Door
"Ms. Lewis."
It was clear that Theo thought a bodyguard had no place in the conversation.
Xavier, seriously handling the food, continued without looking up, "As far as I know, your company's net profit last year wasn't low. If you didn't make money, it's entirely due to your leadership's decisions. Our terms are non-negotiable, not even by a dollar. If we keep talking, either you leave or add ten percent more. Your choice."
Xavier finished preparing the food and placed it on Grace's plate, signaling her to eat.
Grace remained silent.
Who exactly was the boss here, and who was negotiating the deal?
Grace reached out and pinched Xavier's arm quietly.
However, Xavier extended his other hand and held Grace's hand in his palm.
Just like that, the two of them ended up holding hands!
Grace had seen Xavier at work but rarely saw him negotiating business. Was this how the DG Group conducted its business? With Xavier's aggressive tone, wouldn't he get beaten up?
It could only be said that his business partners had really good tempers.
Just as Grace pinched Xavier's palm, trying to withdraw her hand, she heard Theo say, "Since Ms. Lewis is so straightforward, let's settle it this way. The price will be as originally agreed. Ms. Lewis, please don't raise the price again."
Grace didn't expect him to compromise so quickly. Xavier's threat really worked.
However, this negotiation style could only be executed by Xavier. His face and aura exuded confidence, which naturally gave him the power of speech.
Grace said, "Alright, looking forward to our cooperation."
"Looking forward to our cooperation."
The deal was sealed just like that. Grace looked down and found that Xavier had already placed a lot of food on her plate.
"I can't eat that much." Grace's appetite had not been good recently.
Some people have a big appetite when pregnant, but Grace had lost quite a bit of weight. She really couldn't eat much.
Xavier said, "It's okay; just eat what you can."
As Grace ate, Xavier handed her some water, "Drink some water, don't choke."
Theo watched and wondered if this was really a bodyguard and not Grace's boyfriend. How could he take care of her better than a boyfriend?
"Ms. Lewis, this bodyguard is pretty good. Where did you find him?" Theo was curious.
Grace smiled awkwardly, "Just found him randomly. He has a bit of a temper, Mr. Saunders, please don't mind."
The meal ended quickly, and after some pleasantries, the dinner was over.
They left the private room together, and the cars were parked at the entrance, ready to go.
Who knew that as soon as they got out of the elevator, they would run into Patrick?
Patrick's eyes almost popped out when he saw Xavier.
"Xavier!" Patrick exclaimed.
This shout surprised Theo behind them. Didn't Grace say he wasn't Xavier? How could he be?
"Get lost!" Xavier didn't want to see Patrick.
Patrick had drunk a bit, but the sight of Xavier almost sobered him up. He didn't dare stay in front of Xavier and quickly left.
Patrick lived in constant fear, knowing Xavier was in Skigeth. He worried that Grace might tell Xavier something, and Xavier would come after him.
If Xavier found out the truth about his mother Donna's death, it would be the end for him.
And now that Xavier was with Grace, he feared Grace might reveal everything on the spot, so it was better to leave quickly.
Xavier acted as if nothing had happened, leading Grace out while still holding her hand.
In the elevator, Theo was in a daze for a long time.
It wasn't until the elevator doors closed again, probably because someone upstairs pressed the button, that the elevator went up and opened its doors, letting someone in, that Theo snapped back to reality.
Xavier, it really was Xavier!
He had actually had dinner with Xavier, and Xavier was acting as Grace's bodyguard. How had the world turned into something beyond his imagination?
Ever since seeing Xavier, Patrick had been restless all night, even appearing distracted and scared during his evening engagements.
Patrick returned home very late, and only Kelly was still in the living room.
Seeing Patrick, Kelly approached, "Dad, you're back."
"Dad, have you been drinking? I made some hangover soup. I'll get it for you." Kelly went into the kitchen and quickly came out with the soup.
Patrick sat on the sofa, and Kelly started massaging him, pressing his shoulders and temples.
But as she massaged, Kelly's hands became restless.
"Dad, you must be tired too. How about we go to the room, and I'll give you a proper massage?"
Patrick was already feeling it. This slut Kelly really knew how to seduce men.
"Okay." Patrick didn't refuse.
After drinking the hangover soup, Patrick went upstairs. Tonight, Amy and Ryan were both home.
Ryan was in his room soothing his son, Ace Montgomery, and Amy was probably already asleep.
The mansion had many rooms, so Patrick went straight into an empty guest room, and Kelly followed him up.
As soon as Kelly entered, Patrick pinned her against the wall. He didn't treat Kelly as a person, just a tool to vent his desires.
Suddenly, there was a noise outside. It was Ryan.
Ryan was looking for Kelly because Ace was crying again, probably needing to be fed.
"Kelly, Kelly!" he called out, but he did not see Kelly anywhere. It was strange; where had Kelly gone?
In the guest room, Kelly covered her mouth, her eyes filled with fear. Patrick heard it too and deliberately became rougher.
Kelly almost screamed. She was cheating on her husband Ryan with his father.
It finally ended after half an hour. Kelly took a quick shower, and returned to her room.
Ryan, annoyed by Ace, saw Kelly and scolded, "Where did you go? I've been looking for you. Ace has been crying, don't you know!"
Kelly was still a bit flustered; it had been too thrilling, "I just went out for a walk. You go to sleep; I'll take care of Ace."
Ryan didn't suspect anything. He didn't care about Kelly and went straight to sleep.
Kelly looked at Ace. Because he had been born prematurely, even after all this time, he was still small, with red skin, and looked like a little monster.
No one in the Montgomery family liked Ace, and Amy didn't even want to look at him.
Ryan didn't like him either, but he felt Ace was his son, so he patiently took care of him.
Kelly looked at Ace and then touched her belly. She needed to get pregnant with a real Montgomery family child as soon as possible.
She had just gone for a check-up a few days ago, but there was no news yet.
She wasn't sure if Patrick, at his age, could still father a child, but she hoped it was possible.
She had only taken a quick shower, deliberately leaving Patrick's semen inside, hoping to get pregnant soon.
