Chapter 2 A New Environment

Grace stood up and looked around in silence. She must be in the An family villa. As she scanned the room, she noticed that there was nothing special about it.

She slowly turned around and looked at the man on the bed.

Her mouth gave a slight twitch when she asked in a somewhat stiff tone, "What are you doing here?"

Ethan found Grace strange yet funny. She was the one who climbed into his bed in the middle of the night. He didn't even sleep well because she kept on tossing and turning the whole night. Now that she woke up, the first thing she did was hit him. She even asked him what he was doing in his own room.

When Ethan didn't answer, Grace didn't mind him anymore. She didn't even notice that he was also in a daze. She slowly walked down and stretched. Her strength had been gradually restored.

She clenched her fists for a while, then loosened them up. After making sure that she could already walk steadily, she opened the door and walked out, totally ignoring Ethan behind her. Grace only wanted to do one thing. She would go back to the Yan family and ask for an explanation.

But on the next second, she was stunned.

Along the hallway, people were standing on both sides, extending to somewhere she couldn't even see. Before she could figure out what was going on, everyone greeted her in unison, "Good morning, Mrs. An."

Grace turned around and looked behind her in confusion. But there was no one else there aside from her. Were these people talking to her? She looked around again, but she couldn't really see anyone. Who was the "Mrs. An" they were addressing?

In the end, Grace decided to just ignore them. She was about to walk forward when an old man blocked her way. She stared at him warily.

The old man pushed his glasses against the bridge of his nose and said politely, "Mrs. An, I'm the butler. You can call me Daniel."

Grace just gave him a perfunctory smile and turned around to walk away. However, Daniel Liang stretched out his hand to stop her.

With a hint of warning in her eyes, Grace looked at him and said coldly, "I'll only say it once. Get out of my way."

Daniel Liang was stunned by her reaction. But then, he reached out his hand again and said, "I am the butler. You can... Ahhh!"

Much to everyone's surprise, Daniel Liang's scream resounded through the hallway at once.

Before he could finish his words, he heard a crisp sound that came from his arm.

When he turned to look at it, Grace was still holding his dislocated arm. It seemed that she twisted his arm before he could even know it.

Daniel Liang shivered. He was in so much pain that he didn't know what to say. He had seen a lot of women in the An family, but it was his first time to meet such a barbaric one. Was she really from the Yan family? But she seemed like a shrew.

Grace sneered and let go of his hand indifferently. She then turned around and left as if nothing had happened. But after taking only a few steps forward, the phone in her pocket vibrated.

She stopped, took it out, and looked at the screen. Upon seeing the caller's name, a trace of joy flashed through her eyes, and she quickly answered it. But before she could even tell him what was going on, the caller scolded her.

His voice sounded so furious. He roared, "Grace, where are you right now? How could you do such a shameless thing behind my back? And you still have the nerve to answer my call? How brazen you are!"

Grace was stunned. She couldn't understand what Willy Ye was talking about.

How could he scold her like this without even asking what was going on with her? Anger suddenly rose up in her heart.

She moved the phone to her other ear and said with a gloomy face, "Are you kidding me? What did I do to you?"

Seeing that Grace was not willing to admit the truth, Willy Ye nodded mockingly and said, "Okay. I was wrong about you. You cheated on me and hooked up with Ethan An. I didn't know that money mattered to you that much. Did you even know that he was sexually impotent? You disregarded your own reputation for the sake of money. From now on, we're over!"

"What? I hooked up with Ethan An? You bastard! What are you..."

Before Grace could finish her words, Willy had already hung up.

She was stunned for a moment. Her head was spinning around.

She had no idea what was happening. This morning seemed to be so terrible.

This time, Daniel finally found a chance to speak. Enduring the pain, he walked toward Grace and said with a grin, "Mrs. An, please be aware that since yesterday, you have become Mr. Ethan An's rightful wife. Your marriage has been published to various newspapers and news agencies this morning."

Grace was dumbstruck. Daniel's words were like lightning that hit her heart.

How could things happen so fast without her knowledge?

Still in disbelief, Grace reached out her hand and rubbed her right ear. With raised eyebrows, she then looked at Daniel and said, "Wait. What did you just say?"

Daniel could now feel a lot of pressure, but he pretended to be calm and repeated what he had just said.

The atmosphere in the hall turned cold. The look on Grace's face became even worse. 'An incompetent man?' It only dawned on her now that the man in the room just now was Ethan An.

A murderous look flashed through her eyes. She pushed Daniel away and was about to go out. But a group of security guards appeared at the door. Their steps were surprisingly consistent as if they were soldiers.

They also moved in unison.

Staring at the group of men in front of her, Grace hesitated for a moment. She then looked around through the corners of her eyes. There were only fifty of them. If she was careful enough, it wouldn't be that difficult to escape.

Daniel just stood aside and watched quietly. Their new hostess seemed to be much more interesting than those women before.

He subconsciously rubbed his injured arm, and his lips curved up into a smile.

He had a feeling that the villa would be in chaos for quite a while.

Grace was now like a frightened kitten. She observed the people around her vigilantly. After a while, she rushed over to the side, where there were fewer people. She was like a wild mare that escaped from its rein.

The maids screamed simultaneously, and the security guards followed her right away. They tried to catch her, but Grace ran nimbly to avoid them.

In an instant, the villa was in turmoil. Indeed, Daniel was right.
