In the Lap of Luxury

Chapter 344 A Miracle

Grace couldn't wait and ran toward Harold. "Grandpa, I'm back."

Harold looked at Grace, who was holding his arm, and said with a hint of displeasure, "It was so dangerous tonight, and you went to join in the fun?

"Do you know that those human traffickers are after money and don't care about their lives? What if something had happened to you?"

Grace quickly reassured Harold. "Grandpa, I'm fine. I'm sorry for making you worry."

Harold snorted. "There will be no next time. I'll strengthen your security details in the future. We can't afford such accidents again."

Grace nodded repeatedly. "I got it, Grandpa."

As they spoke, Harold looked at Aaron, who wasn't far away. "Tell me. What happened to those human traffickers?"

Aaron replied, "The police caught a few accomplices, but the mastermind, Darien Perez, escaped. There's no news for now."

Harold was furious. "How can they be so careless? They let the mastermind escape just like that. After inflicting such a big blow on them this time, it's hard to guarantee that they won't retaliate."

He stopped there, not intending to continue. He and Aaron exchanged a glance in understanding.

Aaron immediately said, "Don't worry, Grandpa. Our underground intelligence organization is also tracking him. Once we discover his whereabouts, we'll immediately capture him and hand him over to the police."

Harold's expression improved upon hearing this. He patted Grace's hand. "Gracie, be careful during this time. Don't give anyone a chance to hurt you."

Grace nodded. "I know, Grandpa."

Harold then changed the topic and asked, "Was it that young man from the Donegan family who brought you back just now?"

Grace reacted quickly. With just one sentence, she already guessed what he was going to say next.

She quickly preempted. "Grandpa, Timothy and I are just friends. Friends."

Harold obviously didn't believe it.

Speaking from experience, he knew that there was no pure friendship between a man and a woman. NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.

However, he didn't expose her, as matters of the heart couldn't be forced, and interference from a third party wouldn't be welcome.

"Fine, you handle your own affairs."

Grace looked like she was receptive to learning. "I will, Grandpa. Don't worry about me. It's getting late. Let me help you upstairs to rest."

"You're always so thoughtful. It would be great if you could stay by my side all the time."

Grace playfully smiled. "Grandpa, rest assured. Once I fulfill my one-year promise, I'll return to Frenda and be with you every day."

"Then you must keep your word."

"Don't worry, Grandpa. When have I ever reneged on my promises?"

Watching the harmonious scene between the grandfather and granddaughter, Aaron smiled.

At that moment, a notification alert sounded on his phone.

He took the phone, glanced at the screen, and then turned to the housekeeper. "I have something to attend to. You don't need to leave the lights on for me tonight."

"Yes, Mr. Aaron."

Upstairs, Grace had just walked Harold back to his bedroom when they heard the sound of a car engine outside.

Harold snorted unhappily. "This brat, Aaron, is so busy with his love life now and doesn't stay home. He hides everything. Why can't he bring my granddaughter-in-law back for me to see?"

Grace seemed to have stumbled upon some big news. "Grandpa, what did you say? Is Aaron in love? When did this happen? Is this a miracle?"
