Chapter 642

Murray instructed his driver, "Turn around, head to Crystal Court Mall."

"Right away, Mr. Sherwood."

The dinner, orchestrated to be a relaxed affair by Grace, was fairly enjoyable.

The only hiccup was when Murray ordered a bottle of red wine.

By the time the wine was finished, he was visibly intoxicated, his eyes blurry with drunkenness.

Seeing this, Grace had no choice but to help him into the car.

The driver was a bit surprised, "Mr. Sherwood is...?"

Grace replied, "He's drunk. Could you please take him home?"

Suddenly, the driver asked, "Grace, would you like to come along?"

Grace paused for a moment.

"Don't get me wrong. At this hour, Sadie would have already left, so there won't be anyone at the mansion. But with Mr. Sherwood in this state, he'll need someone to look after him. If you don't mind..." Grace responded, "Of course, I don't mind. Let's go then."
