Chapter 821

Of course, she knew Arnold was only doing this for her own good. But she really had no other choice—she had to go see for herself.

Upon hearing Grace’s words, Arnold kept tidying up as he said without even lifting his head, “Madam, since we can’t stop you, then this old man will go with you!” He didn’t hesitate at all. His face was full of determination.

Grace was deeply moved, her weathered eyes welling with tears. She had thought that in her current state, the household staff would surely look at her differently. She didn’t expect Arnold to treat her just as he always had.

Grace patted his shoulder and said solemnly, “Alright. If you’re willing to come with me, then let’s go together. Arnold, I’ll always remember this kindness of yours.” Grace was someone who valued relationships, and everything that had happened recently had shown her people’s true colors. That made her treasure everything around her even more—whether people or things.

Seeing that she agreed, Arnold didn’t wait for her to say anything more. He turned and went straight back to his room to pack. He was stubborn like that. Once he made up his mind, he wouldn’t change it. That much was certain. And with Grace’s current condition, he couldn’t feel at ease letting her go alone. He sighed softly and began packing his things. In that moment, the silver at his temples looked a little more pronounced, as if the weight of it all had quietly aged him.

Grace sat on the bed, now calm. The confusion was gone from her face, replaced by determination and plans for what lay ahead. She had no idea what was going on with her daughter now, but she was determined to go and see for herself.

As for the company, someone had to start looking into the people involved and take charge. Otherwise, with those cunning old foxes, she feared that by the time she got back, there wouldn’t even be bones left of the company. If she had to find someone, it had to be someone she knew well and could trust. She didn’t feel safe leaving it to anyone else.

While Grace was deep in thought, Arnold walked in slowly. His expression looked much calmer now, no longer flustered like before. “Madam, I’ve packed everything. I’ve also contacted the airport. We can leave anytime.”

Grace couldn’t help but admire Arnold’s efficiency. But suddenly, something came to mind. She slapped her forehead, a look of frustration flashing across her face.

Arnold couldn’t help asking, “Madam, what’s wrong?” He was puzzled. Everything was already settled—was she about to change her mind again? Arnold was starting to feel a bit resentful toward Grace. He had prepared everything, and now she wasn’t going? At that moment, he really felt she was being a bit unreasonable. After all, everything was ready. He wasn’t used to last-minute changes like this. And it wasn’t like he had anyone he could talk to about it. In the end, everything had to revolve around Grace’s decisions. He had to wait and see what she was thinking.

But Grace looked slightly embarrassed. “I think I forgot something…”

Arnold looked at her in confusion, not understanding what she meant.

“Madam, we’ve prepared everything. Even if we don’t know the exact location yet, once we go over, there’ll be someone there to receive us.”
