"This time, no matter what, someone has to be sacrificed, and what's wrong with sacrificing Grace Summer alone? I already tried my best to reduce our losses as much as I could. That’s right, doing so is unfair to Grace. But there is nothing much that is fair i n this world. As the only wife to the director of the Ford Group, I have to be ruthless!"
Rose was a gifted orator, she sounded sad and pitiful, and yet loyal and righteous. Old Master Shaw had nothing to say in rebuke. In the end, the old man left Sean and Rose’s house with his tail tucked between his feet. But, how was he going to explain himself to Grace when he got home?
That night, Old Master Shaw wandered along the streets of Star Island until the wee hours of the morning. The next morning, he trudged home with heavy footsteps. The moment he stepped into the living room, he saw Grace sitting on the sofa with her pregnant belly. It was obvious that Grace did not have a wink of sleep throughout the night.
Seeing the old man return home scratching his head i n defeat, Grace smiled sadly. "Uncle, you...you failed, right?"
The old man's tone sounded tired and weary. "My dear girl...you...stay here with me for the time being. We'll... we'll take our time and think of a plan, we will..."
Grace nodded obediently. Because of the old man's protection, for the moment, Rose would not come and cause trouble to Grace.
Not only that, during that time, another major event occurred. Sean Ford officially fell out with the Payne family. The two had a major disagreement in the management of the island. As a result, within a month, Sean retracted all of his property and investment from the island, and transferred them all t o South City.
