The Double ( or More ?) Life of The Fake Heiress

Chapter 1616

Grady's associate, standing nearby, shot Summer a bemused glance when she made her audacious claim. Taking down the Davis family? Now that was a knee- slapper if he'd ever heard one.

Grady casually drummed his fingers on his knee, a hint of amusement playing on his lips as he asked his associate, "Alex, how long has it been since someone last had the nerve to threaten me?"

"It's been ages, honestly. Can't quite recall," Alex said, clearing his throat. "But I do remember the last one who tried-they're just a memory now."

Grady raised an eyebrow, giving Alex a rare nod of approval. "Not bad, you've sharpened your tongue."

Alex grinned sheepishly, "All thanks to you, Grady. Polite words for polite company, right?"

Talk of violence was just so... uncouth.

Summer, oblivious to their banter, cut in with a chilled tone, "There's still a chance to smooth things over. I can act like none of this ever happened and keep my mentor out of it. But if I involve him, it'll be too late for you."

"Oh, is that so?" Grady remained lounging on the sofa, nodding towards the phone on the coffee table. "Why don't you give her mentor a ring?"

Alex nodded, scooping up the phone in no time. He powered it on, scrolled to the last number dialed, and hit redial.
