The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming

Chapter 169 What An Arrogant And Shameless Servant Although Grace was reluctant to leave, Elijah's remarks left her with no choice but to get in the car.

From the moment she arrived at the Holden residence until the moment she left, just half a day had passed. Yet, Grace never had the chance to speak to Natalie alone.

Grace felt angry but couldn't show it. She regretted following Charlotte to Dithoria, but she had no other option. She had spent so many years laying her plans, and the final stage had to happen here.

Seated in the car, Grace watched the scenery of Dithoria passing by in reverse. Gazing upon its prosperity, she realized Amberton was too small after all.

Tyler sat beside her. Every so often, he asked, "Do you feel alright? Are you uncomfortable?" Grace waved a hand, telling Tyler to keep quiet.

Tyler obediently went silent, but Elijah spoke up. "Mrs. Langley Senior, were you faking your mental illness before?" Grace was taken aback. She found Elijah quite annoying. He had no sense of boundaries or respect.

Now that she was no longer pretending to have the mind of a six-year-old, her manners stopped her from openly cursing him.

From the rearview mirror, Elijah saw how dark her face had turned. Inside, he was gleeful.

He thought, "Silly old hag, you've been exposed and feel humiliated, yet you have to act all dignified and tolerant. You're probably cursingwith every nin the book." "Mrs. Langley Senior, your complexion is terrible. Are you not feeling well, or is your mind still not healed? If you're sick, you should get treatment. If you die, you won't even get your retirement money's worth," Elijah said bluntly.

Tyler's face went cold. "If you can't speak politely, then keep quiet. Nobody asked you to talk." Elijah refused to take that. He hadn't planned to scold Tyler, but if Tyler wanted to act tough, Elijah would show no mercy.

"Mr. Tyler, right? I haven't mentioned you yet. Aren't you Selena's fiancé? Do you know your fiancée is out there shamelessly flirting with other men? "Mr. Tyler, you can't even control your fiancée, yet you're here looking after Mrs. Langley Senior. Are you planning to win over both Selena and Mrs. Langley Senior?" "Shut your mouth," Grace said coldly. "You're just Marcus' subordinate. To put it bluntly, you're nothing but a servant. A servant should know their place. Where did you learn such rude manners? It'll ruin the Holden family's reputation if this gets out." "Mrs. Langley Senior, you're angry now?" Elijah sneered and pressed the gas pedal. Then, he got out, pulled open the back door, and yanked Tyler and Grace out of the car.

"People give you an inch, and you'll take a mile. How I do my job has nothing to do with my boss. What gives you the right to accuseof ruining the Holden family's reputation? "Mrs. Langley Senior, what about all those times you forced Ms. Walker to donate blood to your daughter-in- law? Why not talk about how that brought shto the Langley family? Don't tellyour family was too poor to afford blood and had to take it from a little girl? "Don't say you didn't know Ms. Walker wasn't your real granddaughter. After all, your entire Langley family looks so ugly. Ms. Walker doesn't even resemble any of you. Didn't you people ever suspect a thing? "Don't givethat nonsense about genetic mutations. If there's any mutation, it's Selena's sour face, not Ms. Walker's stunning beauty. But you can feed that genetic mutation story to fools like the Millers." Elijah talked on without pausing for breath, never giving Grace or Tyler a chance to interrupt.

"Threaten me? Go ahead and try. I'll make sure everyone knows the Langley family treated a child like a walking blood bank.

"Tyler, weren't you supposed to be Ms. Walker's ex-fiancé? Why didn't you stand up for her back then when Selena wasn't around? Are you even a man? Did you ever really love her? How could you just stand by and let them draw her blood without doing something about it?" Elijah jabbed a finger at Tyler's face. "Good thing Ms. Walker isn't actually part of the Langley family. Otherwise, you'd have ruined her life. You're a jerk. Absolute trash." "You... you..." Grace clutched her chest. She had lived all these years and never been scolded like this.

"What?" Elijah snapped, glaring at Grace. "I scolded Tyler. What does that have to do with you? Don't even think about faking your illness again.

"Letwarn you, if you dare pull that stunt, I'll jump off the top of Langley Group's building. I'll haunt you as a ghost forever. Then I'll go after your son. And after he's gone, I'll go after your granddaughter." "You... you... you..." Grace trembled.

"I'm scolding that jerk Tyler. Why are you so worked up? Do you really have an affair with him?" Elijah spat out.

"Enough," Tyler roared, veins pulsing on his forehead. He swung a fist at Elijah.

Elijah caught Tyler's fist effortlessly and gave him a light push, making Tyler stumble backward.

"You're so weak. In less than three seconds, you'd be on the ground," Elijah said, looking at him with disdain. "How dare you humiliate me!" Tyler snapped, his face darkening with anger.

He tried to charge at Elijah again, but Grace quickly pulled him back.

"That's enough. You can't beat him. Don't humiliate yourself," Grace said coldly. "Let's go." "Mrs. Langley Senior." Tyler felt furious. Why should they take this abuse from a random employee of the Holdens and then get thrown out of the car? "Is this how the Holden family treats its guests?" Grace glowered at Elijah. "It seems Marcus isn't so impressive after all."

"My boss doesn't need your opinion, old crone," Elijah shot back. "Maybe Selena got her shameless streak from other from you. The whole Langley family is rotten.

"And you, Tyler, maybe being a cuckold is just your destiny. Dithoria isn't your place. Maybe you belong on sfar-off grassland or deserted island instead."

Elijah climbed back into the car and locked the doors. He floored the gas pedal, turning in a neat arc and speeding away. He left Grace and Tyler choking on exhaust fumes as he drove off. "What an arrogant and shameless man," Grace spat, pressing her hand to her chest. She would settle this score one day.
