Just then , Timothy walked in. When he saw Agatha clinging to the doctor and calling him by his name, disgust flashed through his eyes .
Although that flash disappeared quickly, Grace still caught it. It made her want to laugh even more.
That was just how the world was. Those who couldn’t get what they wanted would always make the most noise. Meanwhile, the favored always acted arrogantly because they felt they had nothing to fear.
Sensing Grace’s amusement, Timothy gave her a cold, sweeping glance. She immediately stifled her laughter.
Seeing that she knew how to behave, Timothy withdrew his gaze and turned to the doctor. “What’s wrong with my mother? Will she get better?” he asked.
He might still have some use for Agatha in the future. So, he wouldn’t allow her to remain in this state.
“This is simply a case of emotional overstimulation. Mrs. Hardwell is behaving like this because her brain couldn’t handle the intensity of her joy. With time, she might recover,” the doctor answered.
The word “might” made Timothy’s expression instantly darken. ” don’t want a possibility. I want a guarantee!”
The sudden chilly and murderous energy he was radiating caused the doctor to involuntarily shiver. It also made the doctor feel that the Timothy before him wasn’t the same as before.
After issuing a threatening ultimatum to the doctor, Timothy shot Grace a look and then walked out. Grace swiftly followed after him.
Once they were in their room, Timothy grabbed Grace’s jaw viciously. “Tell me. How could you be so stupid?”
He was convinced she had leaked the secret that he was still alive. And if it weren’t for her stupidity, Timothy believed he could’ve continued having his fun for another year or two–living that free and unfettered life that he still hadn’t had enough of
Grace knew Timothy still needed her. Even if he believed she had exposed him, he wouldn’t do anything to her right now. So, she wasn’t the least bit afraid.
She even coolly retorted, “Don’t overestimate me, and don’t underestimate Irvin and William. There’s no such thing as a flawless plan in this world.
“Besides, under those circumstances, there are so few people who are able to take Emilia Quill away without a trace. All they had to do was think a little harder to figure out who the culprit was.
“So, don’t blame me for leaking your secret. You should blame yourself for being too greedy. Your criminal organization already has so many income avenues. Why did you have to go after Emilia? If you hadn’t insisted on kidnapping her, your plan would still be going accordingly now.”
Timothy couldn’t help but laugh at her words. Clicking his tongue, he said, “You’re getting bolder by the day, Grace. Is it because you think I won’t lay a finger on you because you’re carrying my children?”
As he spoke, he slowly placed his other large hand on Grace’s still–flat belly. Then, he abruptly pressed down on it hard for a brief second.
The force was so strong that Grace nearly screamed from the pain. She looked at Timothy in terror as her body trembled uncontrollably. She felt that if he had pressed just a little harder, he would’ve put her pregnancy at risk.
Timothy truly was a monster.
Grace regretted her words. She really shouldn’t have antagonized him.
She shouldn’t have tried to make him believe she was an idiot. She shouldn’t have tried to get Timothy to drop his guard around her so that she would have a chance to take action against him.

“I don’t care what you’re scheming, Grace, but you better shut it down now. Don’t even dream about the impossible, and just obey me. Do what I say or else… You know just how cruel I can be, he threatened.
Grace stared at him but didn’t say a word. She just trembled uncontrollably.
