Mommy Alert! The CEO Daddy Won't Stop Courting-Chapter 524: For You, I Killed Victoria...

Grace Quarters spoke despondently, "Will he feel distressed?"

"Of course he will, Malcom loves you so much, seeing you this way would break his heart!" Ivy Wood assured confidently.

Finishing her statement, Ivy Wood remembered something and continued to ask Grace Quarters, "Grace, could it be that you’ve been sick these days, never stepped out, and haven’t heard any news from outside?"

Grace Quarters looked at Ivy Wood, not understanding the intent behind her question.

"Isn’t it just Malcom’s engagement outside? What other news could there be?"

She didn’t want to know any news, deciding to leave once her health improved.

Ivy Wood sat down by Grace Quarters’ bedside, looked at her, and asked in return, "Then you must not know that Malcom didn’t actually get engaged, right?"

Grace Quarters was shocked.

What did she say?

Malcom didn’t get engaged?

How is that possible?

That night, Malcom clearly said he had found happiness... and told her to leave!

"I knew you didn’t know."

Ivy Wood looked at Grace Quarters and slowly began, "During Malcom’s engagement, an incident happened. That girl, without considering the consequences, ran away from the engagement banquet... not only did it make Malcom lose face, but the Morris Group’s stock plummeted, and Uncle Morris ended up hospitalized."

After speaking, Ivy Wood looked at Grace Quarters and asked, "Grace, tell me, how can a girl like that be worthy of Malcom?"

Grace Quarters did not answer.

She was too stunned by Ivy Wood’s words to come to her senses.

She never expected that Malcom didn’t get engaged, and the girl was actually the one who ran away from the engagement!

Such a grand engagement banquet, with so many social elites invited, and a girl ran away from the feast, causing the Morris Group’s stock to fall and Uncle Morris to be hospitalized. What about Malcom then?

Grace Quarters suddenly sat up.

She looked at Ivy Wood and asked with concern, "How is Malcom? Did he..."

She couldn’t continue her sentence.

To Malcom, she was just the past, what right did she have to ask!

Grace Quarters’ eyes involuntarily became desolate again.

Ivy Wood noticed this and asked confusedly, "Grace, what are you afraid of?"

After asking, without waiting for Grace Quarters’ response, she continued, "Grace, that girl is not suitable for Malcom. You should return to Malcom’s side now."

Grace Quarters: "..."

She wanted to return, dreaming of it.

But Malcom said she was just the past, he said he loved that girl, that they were just family.

Could she really go back?

Seeing Grace Quarters not speaking, Ivy Wood continued, "Grace, Malcom is only with that girl to repay a favor. The engagement is now off. It’s the perfect time for you to reconcile with Malcom."

Grace Quarters looked at Ivy Wood, her eyes bewildered.

Ivy Wood reassured her, "Grace, trust me!"

Then she said earnestly, "Grace, six years ago I wronged you and Malcom. It was because of me that you and Malcom were separated for six years, causing you both so much pain."

Ivy Wood’s face was full of regret and pain as she looked at Grace Quarters and continued, "During these six years, watching you and Malcom in so much distress, my suffering was no less than yours. Every day I was in remorse, I was wrong. Because of an impossible delusion, I lost my best friend, made Malcom despise me..."

Ivy Wood grabbed Grace Quarters’ hand in an emotional rush, "Grace, return to Malcom, be with him, so that in my heart..."

Grace Quarters fiercely shook off Ivy Wood’s hand and looked at her coldly to question, "Ivy Wood, who do you think you are? Do you think everything and everyone can be manipulated by you?"

After speaking, she began to cough heavily.

Ivy Wood wanted to pat Grace Quarters’ back.

Grace Quarters refused.

She lifted her head, glaring at Ivy Wood with hatred, "Six years ago you tore me and Malcom apart, what makes you think after six years I could go back to how things were?"

After a series of questions, Grace Quarters couldn’t stop her coughing, "Cough cough..."

Ivy Wood grabbed Grace Quarters’ hand again, "Grace, six years ago it was indeed my fault, but I’ve been atoning for it ever since!"

"Atonement? Ha!" Grace Quarters sneered coldly, "Having me fight a blameless girl for Malcom is your way of atonement? Or is it just... cough cough... a way to reap the benefits?"

"Grace, how could you think of me like that?" Ivy Wood appeared hurt, "I even committed murder to bring you and Malcom back together."

Grace Quarters was shocked.

She looked at Ivy Wood in disbelief, "What did you say? Murder?"

Ivy Wood nodded, "Yes, murder."

She then looked at Grace Quarters and spoke with malice, "That girl brought it upon herself, she enraged her mother into being hospitalized by fleeing the engagement... I entered the sterile room post-surgery and injected air into her mother’s IV bottle. Her mother already suffered a cerebral hemorrhage, and the air caused a clot... resulting in brain hypoxia and death."

Ivy Wood saw Grace Quarters rendered speechless by shock, "Grace, I did all of this to atone, for you and Malcom’s sake, so you could return to his side."

Finishing, she continued, "Now that girl’s mother is dead, and between her and Malcom..."

Slap!

Before Ivy Wood could finish her sentence, a loud slap landed on her face.

She stared at Grace Quarters in disbelief, "Grace, you actually hit me?"

"Hit you?" Grace Quarters looked at Ivy Wood with rage, "Ivy Wood, how can you be so vicious, so inhumane?"

"Vicious? Inhumane?" Ivy Wood repeated, confusedly looking at Grace Quarters, "Grace, how could you say that to me? I did all this for you, to bring you back to Malcom!"

"Don’t say it’s for me, you’re just a lunatic! Cough cough..." After several coughs, Grace Quarters spoke in anger, "I’m going to tell Malcom, I’m going to reveal everything you’ve done to him."

Hearing Grace Quarters’ words, Ivy Wood wasn’t afraid at all.

She dared to tell Grace Quarters about this because she concluded that Grace Quarters wouldn’t speak out.

She looked at Grace Quarters, suddenly changed her face, and spoke with a cold voice, "Go ahead and tell, then I’ll say you orchestrated it all. That to get back to Malcom, you begged me to do this for you, you are the mastermind behind it!"

Grace Quarters stared blankly at Ivy Wood at this moment, wondering how she could have such a malicious friend.

Ha ha! Six years ago she harmed her, and then threatened her.

Six years later she intended to use her and slander her.

This is the smart friend she played with since childhood.

Very well.

She looked at Ivy Wood’s ugly face and suddenly became clear-headed.

"You are shameless!"
