Chapter 216 Sly Digs

After ordering, Grace said she needed to go to the restroom. Since the restroom was inside the restaurant, Imogen didn’t think much of it and let her go on her own.

Inside the restroom cubicle, Grace helplessly opened her smartwatch and dialed Troy’s phone

number.

“Hello, Grace. Have you arrived at the restaurant?” Troy’s voice came through the receiver. “Yes,” Grace replied softly.

Troy sensed something and asked, “Grace, what’s wrong? Are you upset?”

“Uncle, Imogen said we’re going to have dinner with Erik today,” Grace said.

Troy’s expression changed slightly.

She was gentle with everyone except Troy.

Grace said in frustration, “Imogen said yesterday that she didn’t want to reply to him, but who knew she would lie to me? She even said she likes Erik! Uncle, what should I do? Imogen is going to run with another man!”

Troy’s face turned dark. “Grace, did she really say that?”

Troy was confused. Didn’t Imogen like Liam? How could she suddenly start liking Erik?

How long had she known Erik? How many times had they met?

He didn’t believe that she could change her heart so easily!

“It’s true. I didn’t lie to you.”

“Grace, don’t worry, I will figure something out. I won’t let Imogen be taken away.”

“I believe in you. You have to do your best, okay?”

Grace suddenly smiled with joy, hung up the phone, and returned to the private room, only to find that there was another man inside.

The man sat opposite Imogen, with a delicate appearance. He smiled and talked to Imogen, revealing two cute little canine teeth. It was Erik.

Grace pouted.

She thought, “How could this man compare to my uncle?

“He is not as handsome as my uncle, not as tall as my uncle, and looks like a skinny monkey. He also doesn’t have as much money as my uncle.
