Starting with A Divorce by Gloria Warren

Chapter 408 A Strong Support

The Easton Group building looked even more magnificent than before. It had been renovated again

half a year ago, and its cover had expanded by nearly two times.

Apart from the main hall on the first floor, all the other parts of the building had been changed to all

kinds of storefronts, and there was a continuous stream of customers coming and going.

Irene withdrew her gaze from the building and checked the recent profit rankings of the companies.

As expected, the development of the Easton Group was so booming that it was approaching the Wade

Group. But what made her curious was what role Manuel played behind it.

Irene smiled coldly. She rolled up the window and made a gesture. The car slowly drove away.

Maud did his job well and asked, "Ms. Wade, where are we going next?"

Irene opened her lips and said, "The Gage Group."

This time, the Bentley only stopped outside the building. Irene stared at the top floor of the building

through a few rows of plants, as if she could see something through the reflective glass.

"Alright, Maud. Let's go back." She already knew what to do next.

The people who welcomed her home were some servants.

A trace of disappointment flashed across Irene's face, but she still smiled and nodded at them.

Clara looked worriedly at Irene, who looked thinner than before, and said with distress, "Ms. Wade,

welcome home. I have cooked your favorite food. You should eat more later."

Irene walked over to hold her hand and said, "Thank you, Clara."

Clara shook her head and said, "By the way, Ms. Wade, Mr. Wade is watering the flowers in the

backyard. He didn’t come out to see you, but actually, he worries about you all the time."

"I know. Grandfather loves me the most.” After that, Irene walked deeper into the house.

Brady did not seem to have any change. He still looked spirited. He did not look back when he heard

the footsteps behind him but said lightly, "You are back."

Irene stopped. After a long while, she managed to squeeze out a word from her throat. "Yeah."

Brady paused, turned around to look at her, and suddenly frowned. "Go back to your room and get

yourself cleaned up. Move. It annoys me to see you here."

Irene bit her lower lip, lowered her head, and turned to go upstairs.

Her room was cleaned by servants every day, and she could also smell a faint fragrance of gardenia.

After taking a shower, Irene sat in front of the dressing table and looked at her beautiful face in the

mirror. She smiled silently, but the look in her eyes was rather cold and fierce.

Brady did not say anything else, but he seemed to have told her everything.

Irene knew very well that Brady had already been disappointed in her for what she had done.

After staying in jail for this period of time, Irene figured it out.

Now that she had ended up like this, she could not blame anyone else. If she wanted to blame

someone, she could only blame herself for being weak.

Thinking of this, Irene picked up the lipstick and slowly twisted it out. Then, she wrote down a word in

the mirror with the lipstick. "Revenge"!

She decided.

No matter what price she had to pay, not only was she going to win back Manuel's heart, but she was

also going to make Ainsley suffer worse than death.

Only doing this would be enough for her to vent her hatred.

Now, that person would definitely be willing to give her a hand.

Irene dialed a multinational number.

The other party on the phone spoke fluent Portuguese.

After exchanging a few words, they decided on the date and place to meet.

Irene immediately booked a plane ticket. She could hardly wait.

Portugal was a country that had spring all year round.

"Hey, Irene, long time no see!" A tall, dark-skinned man gave Irene a big hug.

Irene managed to reach out and patted him on his back. "Long time no see, Daniel."

Daniel Hume let go of her and took a closer look at her. "You are still so beautiful."

Irene smiled. "Don't be so formal to me. I have serious business talking with you. Daniel, I need your

help. Let's have a talk, but not here."

Daniel Hume shrugged and said, "Sure, no problem."

He waved his hand, and it was not until then that Irene noticed that there were more than a dozen men

with malicious looks staring at them from not far away.

Thinking of Daniel's identity, Irene became more eager to coax him into her plan.

"Tell me, what is it? It's really rare for you to ask me for help.' Daniel looked fierce, but he liked to joke.

Irene knew him very well. She rolled her eyes and suddenly tore up.

Seeing a beauty shedding tears would naturally raise a man's desire to protect her.

Daniel panicked and drew out a few tissue papers and handed them to her. "Why are you crying? Who

bullied you? Tell me, I will avenge you."

Irene wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and whispered a story she made up.

She made Ainsley and Manuel a pair of betrayers. In her story, Ainsley betrayed her, and Manuel

cheated on her. What was more, Ainsley also framed her in jail after she got what she wanted.

Daniel had been in the underworld for many years, and he hated deception and betrayal the most in his

life.

When he heard this, he slammed the table angrily. "This is too much!"

Irene hurriedly continued, "Daniel, I have no other options now. I have nothing left, and my grandpa is

very disappointed in me."

Daniel frowned and hesitated. "Irene, this matter is not a big deal, but..."

Irene interrupted him and said seriously, "Daniel, I promise you as the heir of the Wade Group. If you

are willing to help me this time, I will give you five percent of the shares of the Wade Group. I will also

help you open up the market in my country."

This condition was just like feeding a hungry wolf a large piece of fresh meat.

Daniel was afraid that she would go back on her word. He smiled and clapped his hands, asking his

men to bring over a pen and paper.

After Irene put her handprint on the paper, Daniel patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, Irene. I will

take my men to your country tomorrow. Do whatever you want to do. I will cover it for you."

"After she was released from prison, she went to Portugal," Matteo said seriously.

Ainsley was a little confused. "Portugal? Why did she get over there?"

"It's not hard to guess. Irene has done so many wrong things. We have a lot of evidence to prove her

crime. It's impossible that Brady doesn't know.

Maybe he is going to give up on Irene. Irene knew, so she went to Portugal to find support," Matteo

said with a smile.

In the Wade family.

After leaving the detention room, Irene spent two days making a round trip to Portugal. When she

returned home, Clara hurriedly came to greet her.

"Ms. Wade, you finally came back. Mr. Wade is waiting for you in the study."

Irene nodded and quickly entered the study.

"Grandpa, I am back." Her voice was neither humble nor overbearing. She didn't look hesitant and

restless as she used to be. Now she has become more composed.

She had thought it through during the few days she had been in the detention room. She thought that

she was a dotted granddaughter.

But these few days were enough for her to understand that everything she thought of would leave her if

Brady wanted.

Brady was writing something, and he just wrote down a word, "endure", on the paper when Irene came

in.
