Chapter 194

Malvina was the apple of the Gruber family’s eye, the most cherished daughter of her generation.

The secretary hesitated. “Sir, if anything happens to Malvina, I’m afraid it won’t be easy to explain to Arthur.”

‘Arthur dotes on her, sure, but it’s just because he hopes she’ll fetch a high price, bringing in a lucrative alliance for the Gruber family. Didn’t we find a new girl? Let Yvonne take her place.”

Yvonne was nothing like Malvina. It was clear as day that Yvonne was a few sandwiches short of a picnic, all ambition and no brains – the easiest kind to manipulate.

“Go tell Yvonne that if she takes care of Malvina, she’ll be the Gruber family’s new darling!” The secretary got the message loud and clear. Yates was setting Yvonne up to take the fall.

Yates had been harboring a grudge ever since Malvina had driven his mother out of the Gruber family, blaming her even for his mother’s car accident.

Whether or not Yvonne could handle Malvina, there was no loss for Yates.

“Right away, I’ll go find Ms. Yvonne.”

Malvina stepped out of the Gruber mansion, stretching languidly as her willowy waist swayed softly. Suddenly, a hand clamped over her waist, and before she could react, covered her mouth and nose, dragging her into a car parked by the curb!

“Mmph…” Malvina’s eyes bulged in terror.

“Ms. Gruber, you’d best cooperate with me, or I’m not sure whether you’ll return to the Gruber family on your feet or in a body bag.”

The voice was cold

with a thin layer of chill that seemed to caress her delicate skin with the sharp edge of a blade.

Malvina’s mind raced, and then she burst into tears. “I don’t want to die. I’ll do whatever you want! Do I need to strip? I will! Just let me live!”

Ulrich’s hand tightened around Malvina’s neck, his grip silencing her sobs. “No need for that drama. I’m taking you somewhere, and you just need to do a little recon for me.”

“Fine, just don’t kill me, and I’ll do whatever you say!”

Ulrich looked at Malvina, willing to do anything to survive, and felt a twinge of headache.

This Gruber princess really was something else.
