NovelEnglishChapter 1239:
As soon as Ethan stepped inside, his eyes immediately landed on the bloodstained knife and the note lying on
the table. He picked up the paper and frowned. The message was scrawled in dark red ink, the letters bold and
uneven. Under the dim lighting, it looked almost as if it had been written in blood.
It was handwritten, but that didn’t mean much. Tracing the person who had written this would be next to
impossible.
“Ethan, what should | do? Will they kill me?” Gracie clutched his hand, panic trembling in her voice. “You're the
only one | can count on now. They followedhere. What if they break in? What do | do then?”
Ethan gave her a steady look, trying to calm her down. “Don’t worry. There is a security guard here. They won't
be able to chere. Get srest. I'll have someone look into this first thing tomorrow.”
Gracie nodded through her tears. “Alright. But please stay. I'm scared they'll conce you leave.”

Ethan glanced at Elsa. Their relationship had been tense lately, but he couldn't take any chances with her safety.
He gave a small nod and said nothing more. Unwilling to spend more twith Gracie, Elsa stood and pointed
toward the stairs. “Go upstairs and sleep.”
Gracie hesitated but eventually did as told.
After Gracie had left, Elsa turned to Ethan. “She has massive debt, and you never told me? How could someone
like that even think of marrying you? That is outrageous!”
Ethan smirked sarcastically. “Would you have stopped pushing her towardif you'd known?”
Elsa's face flushed with anger. “Of course. From now on, | won't get involved in anything concerning you or your
brother. It only leads to trouble. Your brother doesn’t even listen toanymore. He can marry whoever he
wants, I'm done.”

“Just focus on yourself. It’s better that way. Stop meddling in our lives,” Ethan said.
Elsa folded her arms. “How much does Gracie actually owe?”
Ethan shook his head. “On paper, it's 14.8 billion. But there's probably more. Undisclosed debts, hidden
liabilities... We haven't even calculated the full amount yet. The Wilson Group made plenty of enemies in
Norview. Why else would Steven refuse to return to Norview?”
Elsa exhaled sharply and sank into the couch. “You really never know people. | treated her like family and
welcomed her into our home. And yet, she kept all of this from me. She’s not trustworthy. Ethan, marrying
someone like her would only bring you endless trouble. | mean it. | won't interfere in your life anymore.” She felt
relieved to have discovered this early. Otherwise, things would have been much worse.
A piercing scream shattered the quiet, reverberating from the upper floor. It was Gracie, her voice laced with
terror.
Elsa's brow furrowed as she exchanged a glance with Ethan, irritation creeping into her tone. “What happened to
her now?” she muttered.
She had once pegged Gracie as the poised heiress of the Wilson Group, a figure of grace and affluence. Even
after Gracie’s family’s financial ruin, Elsa assumed Gracie’s father had left her a tidy sum. Never had she
imagined that the situation would turn out like this—Gracie had a huge debt to pay now.
Ethan, equally frustrated, sighed heavily. “I'll go see what is wrong.”
As he stepped into the upstairs bedroom, Gracie’s shrieks still echoed, loud enough to rouse even the neighbors.
