The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming

Chapter 564 Grace's Death

There was a light in Grace's eyes again, and her expression looked much better than it had been in a while. This was the happiest she had looked since the Langley family's downfall and the collapse of Langley Group.

Kenton held his phone out of her sight, frantically sending messages to urge Victor.

Victor replied that he was almost there, telling him not to rush.

Finally, 20 minutes later, Victor entered the hospital room Kenton had designated, bringing a young woman with him.

"Grace, look. Megan's here!" Kenton quickly leaned down and whispered in her ear. Tears fell from Grace's eyes as she struggled to sit up, and Kenton rushed to support her.

"Grace, Megan's here. Come, Megan. This is your birth mother."

The woman stepped forward and looked Grace over from head to toe, then she said, "I'm not your daughter. I'm not Megan. This man here gave me 500 bucks to act. Your real daughter is already dead."

She finished and turned to Victor, holding out her hand. "Mister, pay up."

Victor froze. "That's not what I told you to do! Why aren't you following the script?"

"I'm honest, so I don't lie. I just speak the truth. Now, hurry up and pay me," the woman said impatiently, rolling her eyes. "Having me act as a dead person is bad luck. No, thanks."

Victor was practically choking on his own breath. His jaw dropped, eyes wide in disbelief.

Kenton looked at Victor like he could kill him on the spot. "Victor, I asked you to handle it. Is this how you do things?"

"Uncle Kenton, I swear I didn't know she'd back out last minute. I already went over everything with her beforehand," Victor tried to explain.

But before he could finish, Grace collapsed back onto the bed. The light in her eyes vanished once more. She clutched Kenton's hand tightly, trembling as she stammered, "Ken, tell me. Is what she said true? Don't lie... Don't lie to me."
