Chapter 366 Holding Darien Hostage

Grace’s voice was devoid of warmth, making Darlen involuntarily shiver. “M-Ms. Lewis, let’s talk things out. It’s a bit inappropriate to resort to using knives.”

However, Grace showed no mercy. She cut through his clothes with the small knife and held it against his bare skin.

“Talk about what? Those people who were treated like this by you before, did they have room for negotiation?”

“Release Darien, and we can spare your life,” someone shouted at Grace.

But she sneered and said to Darien, “Tell them to step back, or my hand might slip.”

Knowing that Grace wasn’t joking, Darien sternly said to his men, “What are you still standing there for? All of you, step back!”

The group of men looked at each other. Though they were unwilling, they dared not act recklessly. In the end, they could only step back.

Grace was now very close to Darien, close enough to see the pores on his skin. She squinted her eyes, suddenly understanding something.

“The last time we met, you used a disguise. This is your true face. Am I right?”
