Yasmine wasn't threatening. Indeed, when Summit Prosperity Group broke the contract a month ago, Finnian
fainted from anger and was rushed to the hospital for two whole days of emergency care. Of course, Grady has
been in prison, so he couldn't possibly know this news.
Upon hearing this, Grady immediately stood up, visibly shaken, with eyes turning red, "What happened to my
dad?"
"Grady, don't get worked up. The issue with Summit Prosperity Group was too overwhelming for Mr. Lutz, he
collapsed," Yasmine reminded him.
"Was Summit Prosperity Group's move orchestrated by the White family? Grady asked softly.
Yasmine nodded. This was no secret, Nearly everyone with power and influence in Souerity was aware.
"Do you have any proof?" Grady was still skeptical.
Yasmine looked indifferent as she said, "Grady, anyone could easily find out that your father's still in the hospital.
Why would | lie about something like that?" As she moved toward the door, she paused to leave one last
thought. "Grady, you
so even if it's not for need to think carefully. Irene is not as simple as you think. Everyone knows she has a thing
for Xavier, herself, do it for your father and the Grady family"
She walked out of the visitor's room with large strides, leaving Grady with a grim expression as the police led
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇthim away again. Back in his cell, Grady couldn't stop thinking about what Yasmine had said. Was his father really
in the hospital? If it wasn't for the hospitalization, his father should be here to see him, right? And if his father
was truly fine, his mother would have cto see him as well. So why hadn't she?
Grady pondered for a long tbefore coming up with an idea. Two days later, something small happened in the
prison prisoner attempted suicide by running into a wall but was quickly taken to the hospital without any
serious injuries. That prisoner was Grady. At the hospital, he woke up groggily to see Greta looking at him with
worry in her eyes. "Grady, what foolish thing have you "done" she asked, her eyes red with concern.
Grady gave a bitter smile and said, "If | hadn't done this, would you have cto see me? Mom, tell me, what's
going on with the company? Where's Dad?" If nothing happened to Finnian, he would have definitely cwith
Greta,
Greta averted her eyes and said dismissively, "Your dad's busy with work at the company."
"Mom! Are you still keeping secrets fromat this point? | already know everything." Grady said in a low voice.
Tears rolled down Greta's face. "Grady, even if you want to see me, you shouldn't take risks with your health!
Even though you know the truth now, your dad is still recovering in the hospital, and you've landed yourself here
too. How am | supposed to handle all this?" "Mom, what's really going on with Dad? And what's happening with
the company?" Grady asked.
Grady was still serving his sentence, so Greta couldn't stay long. She quickly wiped her tears and said, "Ever
since you went to prison, the Russell and Sanchez Groups haven't made any moves, and the company seemed to
be getting back on track. Your dad worked hard to establish a connection with Summit Prosperity Group,
tirelessly working day and night just for this deal. It was supposed to be our family's big break, but the day
before the contract signing, Summit Prosperity called saying their chairman changed his mind. The next day, we
saw that Summit had signed with the White Group instead."
Grady took a deep breath. "Why didn't you tellabout something this major?"
Gréta said worriedly, "You're still in prison and have enough troubles of your own. But who told you about this?"
Telling you would only cause more worry,

Grady shook his head, is Dad okay now?"
"He's out of danger, but it was a close call," Greta paused before continuing. Tve been wanting to talk to you
about this. We get that you like her and don't want to get married, but you should think about us too. Your father
and | are getting old and can't help you much anymore. If the company goes under, youridad... Even if not for
me, think about your father. The White Group did this, she's not worth it."
Just as they were about to continue talking, a police officer cin to escort Greta out; visiting hours were over.
As she stepped out the door, Grady shouted, "Mom! | want to see someone."
In May, the weather was neither hot nor cold. Yasmine walked through the prison gates in casual attire, and in
the visiting room. Grady was already seated on the other side of the table.
Yasmine walked over, her face expressionless as she looked at Grady, "Have you got it figured out?"
Grady took a deep breath, "My mom's already toldeverything, and it's pretty much the sas what you
said." He paused, then continued, "I can tell you the truth, but you have to help the Lutz family."
"Help with what?" Yasmine raised an eyebrow.

"Help the Grady Group through this tough time. | know saying this might make you feel annoyed, but sitting here
in jail, this is my only plea. 1 know you can make it happen, Grady said.
Yasmine didn't answer; she just let out a small chuckle.
"What's so funny?" Grady asked, puzzled.
"Because you really are ridiculous, Grady. Do you honestly think | would help you just because of sso-called
truth? You haven't thought this through over the past few days. Don't forget, you're one of the people who
wronged me. Not kicking you while you're down is already enough kindness from me. Telling the truth only
benefits you. Remember, you're in jail now, and Irene could strike the Grady Group at any moment. This tit's
the Summit Prosperity Group. You don't have many chances to make a comeback. But | can promise you that if
Irene is brought to justice, the Sanchez Group will step back in your tof need with the partners you require,
Yasmine said.
For the Sanchez Group, this was just a small matter, but for the Grady Group, it was a turning point. Grady
pondered for a moment before finally saying. "Actually, it was Irene who cto seethat day. Ms. Sanchez,
you are indeed smart. | can't believe you figured all of this out just from a high school graduation photo. But yes,
it's true; I'm in love with Irene.
Grady continued, "I fell for her the moment | saw her on the first day of high school. She was truly beautiful and
outstanding. But she was too exceptional; even her schoolmates were people like Yonas. However, nothing could
stopfrom liking her
Grady's expression drifted further away. "That day, she foundand askedfor a favor. | had confessed to
her long ago, and she probably knew about my feelings, which was why she asked for my help. She toldshe
didn't like Yonas, even though Yonas liked her. Mr. Nathan Russell and Mr. White both wanted them to be
together. But if something could happen to shock Yonas, maybe he'd marry her right away, and Mr. White
wouldn't hold on to her so tightly. Then we could be together."
