Chapter 528 Everything is Arranged
"Scott, I need to go out for a bit," Grace insisted.
"Where to?"
"The Lewis Mansion. Taylor said she has some of my mother's things, and if I don't go, she'll just throw them away."
Grace explained everything to Scott, who said, "I'll go with you."
Grace nodded, "Okay."
Having Scott with her made Grace feel a bit more at ease.
Scott drove, but unexpectedly, he received a call from Angela halfway there.
"Hello?" Scott answered.
A stranger's voice came from the other end, "Hello, are you Angela's friend? This is the hospital. Your friend had an accident and is now unconscious. Can you come over?"
The voice was loud enough for Grace to hear.
"Angela had an accident?" Grace got nervous. "Let's go to the hospital right away!"
Compared to Angela, Elizabeth's belongings seemed less important.
"But Elizabeth's things..." Scott hesitated a bit.
"Let's check on Angela first!" Grace was obviously more worried about Angela.
Scott turned the car around and headed straight to the hospital. Angela was undergoing tests, and while her condition seemed stable, they still had to wait for the results, and she remained unconscious.
At that moment, Taylor called again.
"Grace, why aren't you here yet? Do you really not want these things?"
Taylor was urging her, and although Angela seemed fine, they still needed to handle the hospital admission and wait for the test results.
Grace said, "Scott, you stay here with Angela. Get a few people to go with me."
"I'm still worried. How about I just bring Taylor here?" Scott frowned.
"She's not that easy to catch. Just send more people with me. I'll be fine. I can also call Xavier. I'm sure he has people protecting me. I'll stay at the door and won't go in. If anything seems off, I'll run."
Scott didn't seem to agree, but Grace said, "It's just my suspicion that Taylor has some scheme. What if I'm overthinking it?"
"Alright, I'll arrange for some people," Scott said, making calls to gather people.
He couldn't let anything happen to Grace. She was a precious treasure to the Coleman family.
Grace got into the car and called Xavier on the way. If something happened, Xavier needed to know.
But Xavier's phone was off, and so was Mason's.
They were probably busy. It was night here, but daytime abroad where Xavier was, so there was a time difference.
Grace thought, with all the people Scott had arranged, she should be fine.
Besides, she could always call the police as a backup plan.
Grace wondered if she was overthinking it. What if Taylor really had no ill intentions?
But one should always be cautious. Taylor was never a good person, and who knew what she was planning this time.
The car Scott arranged quickly brought Grace to the entrance of the Lewis Mansion.
Grace had been here countless times.
She called Taylor from the entrance, "Taylor, I'm here. Where are my mother's things?"
"What, you expect me to bring them out to you?"
"I'm already here. Name your price."
If it was about money, Grace couldn't figure out what else Taylor wanted.
"Of course, it's about money. Why don't you come in so we can talk?"
"We can talk here," Grace said, not intending to go inside.
Taylor came out and, seeing Grace's face, was still amazed.
She had always prided herself on Brittany being the most beautiful, inheriting her looks. Both Madison and Brittany were beauties, Madison being delicate and Brittany being elegant.
Before seeing Grace, she couldn't imagine someone could be this beautiful. She had only seen Grace from afar before, but now, up close, even in the dim light, Grace seemed to glow. Her face was more defined, more beautiful than any TV star.
No wonder Daniel was so obsessed with Grace, and no wonder Grace could captivate Xavier.
Taylor thought if she were a man, she might have feelings for Grace too.
Grace was hiding her true self well, just like Evelyn. Neither were good people!
"We can talk here. Why did you bring so many people?" Taylor's gaze was venomous.
She had underestimated Grace, thinking it would be easy to deceive her.
"Nothing. Where are the things?" Grace didn't want to waste time with Taylor.
"I said they're inside. Fifty million dollars, and they're yours."
"Fine, I agree. Bring them out, and I'll transfer the money immediately." Fifty million dollars was a small price to avoid more trouble with Taylor.
"I said, come in and get them yourself."
Grace sensed that Taylor was trying to lure her inside. If it was just about money, why not bring the items out?
Taylor must have another motive. Grace said, "Then I don't want them. Let's go!"
At that moment, many people appeared around them. Taylor laughed, "You think you can leave?"
This opportunity was something she and Daniel had waited for a long time.
Daniel's men were also hidden around. He anticipated Grace might bring people, so they were prepared.
To ensure this day, they had eliminated all risks, even drugging Angela to lure Scott away.
"What do you want!" Grace saw Scott's men fighting with the newcomers, but Taylor had prepared strong sedatives.
With Jared's help in the shadows, Xavier's men were also held back.
At that moment, Daniel emerged from inside.
"What do you think I want? Grace, I've missed you so much. Even after all these days, I can't forget you. Your face is just so beautiful," Daniel laughed wickedly, his face twisted.
Daniel had arranged many people today. He was determined to get Grace.
Seeing the situation, Grace started calling Scott.
Daniel walked up to Grace, snatched her phone, and threw it into the bushes.
"Even if you scream, no one will come to save you!" Daniel sneered.
Grace felt nauseous seeing Daniel's expression. She kicked him in the stomach and started running.
