Chapter 449: A Surprise
The next day, Colin called for his daughter in the office. He was clearly angry with her after Aaron had given him a hint that there was something Grace had done to cause his losses.
"Tell me honestly, what did you do?" Colin asked coldly as he glared at his daughter. "What did you tell or given to Aiden behind my back."
"Dad, what do you mean?" Grace asked, trying to stay calm, though shaken inside. ’Has Aiden told him something? But did he say he wouldn’t.’
Slam!
Colin angrily slammed his hand on the desk and stood up. "I checked the camera footage at home, and you clearly entered my study that night. Tell me—why did you enter the safe? And who even told you the password of it? Even your mother doesn’t know it."
Grace felt scared and took a step back in fear. "D-Dad, he blackmailed me. I had to listen to him."
"What did he blackmail you with?" Colin asked. "Couldn’t you just came to me and tell me instead of getting blackmailed?"
"He... he made me sleep with an escort and then threatened to release that video everywhere," she replied, her voice trembling. "It would have caused you to lose face in public, Dad, so I did what he asked me to."
"Do you know what your help has caused us?" he roared in anger.
"I thought Hartz is a big empire and something small wouldn’t affect it..."
"Idiot!" he roared at her. "Having an idiot daughter instead of a smart son—my life is truly useless."
