Chapter 239 Mr Winters Has Nothing Besides Wealth!

Mirror…

Grace touched her cheeks to trace the gruesome scar that severely affected her self-

esteem. This was the harsh reality that had truly shattered her inner world.

Stephanie was indifferent to Grace’s feelings and approached her, saying. I’m about to get

engaged to Elias, and we’ll be married by the end of the year. Your presence here is

affecting my mood. I might mess with him when I’m not in a good mood. Can you bear

that if you truly love him?”

“You! Elias doesn’t like you. He won’t be interested in someone like you. What do you have

to be so proud of? I used to be much prettier than you. I— Grace tried to find an excuse for

herself.

“Enough! Why are you bringing up history? You’re not as beautiful as me or close to being

pretty, and you still think you can hold Elias’ heart? What do you have to hold onto? Just

leave and stop wasting time here!” Stephanie’s sharp and hurtful were striking at Grace’s

fragile heart.

“Enough! Shut up! Just shut up!” Grace covered her ears as tears streamed down her face.

She was about to give up since her intense insecurity was overwhelming. She knew she

was unworthy of Elias in her current state, but it was unbearable to accept this harsh

truth. The promise of happiness within her reach had slipped away and left her in an

empty voice.

“Are you leaving or not?” questioned Stephanie.

“This isn’t your home; your words don’t matter! I want Elias to kick me out personally!”

Grace would be able to give up entirely only if the man himself chased her away.

“Ridiculous! I’m about to become the woman of the house, so how is it not my home?”

Stephanie turned to Yacob, standing outside the door, and said, “Yacob! Get her out of

here! She’s so annoying.”

He did not respond to Stephanie and went straight to Grace. “Miss Murphy, please come

with me. Mr. Winters has arranged a new place for you to start a new life. There’s no need

to be trapped in the past.”

“How can I start a new life in my current state?” she screamed in desperation.

He replied. “That’s not something we should be concerned about. Everybody has to take

responsibility for their actions in this world. Besides, Mr. Winters has to move on even if

you don’t want to start a new life. You two are never destined to be together, so please

don’t try to force it.”

Never destined together? Those words weighed heavily on Grace’s heart.

He gently grasped her frail wrist and pulled her away when seeing her unresponsiveness.

After Grace was sent away, Stephanie breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Yacob when

he was driving. Im done with my business. When will Elias fulfill his end of the deal?” she

asked.

“Mr. Winters is currently taking Aiden home. He will join us soon for a meeting. Don’t worry

about it. He’ll arrange a meeting for you and your boyfriend,” he replied.

She nodded as she finally found some peace of mind. Suddenly, a sense of boredom crept

in and rekindled her curiosity. “Yacob, may I ask you something?” she inquired.

He glanced at Stephanie through the rearview mirror while driving and responded, “Miss

Allegra, feel free to ask. I’ll provide answers based on my knowledge and apologize if I

cannot answer them.”

This bodyguard is quite cautious,

She proceeded after clearing her throat. “Who does Mr. Winters truly prefer-his ex-wife or

that starred actress?”

“Miss Allegra, isn’t it obvious? He assigned you to drive away Grace, yet he prevented you

from bothering Miss Bailey. Isn’t that a clear indication?” Yacob pointed out as he believed

the signs were quite apparent even to a fool.

“Oh… Well, he did have a child with his ex-wife, but at the same time, Grace seems quite

devoted. I must say that Mr. Winters seems to attract women effortlessly, and I just can’t

fathom what these women tee in him or find appealing,” she scornfully remarked.

Yacob took offense to her words. Isn’t it normal for Mr. Winters to be popular with women?

Why wouldn’t they be drawn to him? On the other hand, I fail to grasp what Miss Murphy

finds so appealing about Crispin, whom she has set her eyes on. I can’t discern any

redeeming qualities in that man either!

“Miss Allegra, if you consider Mr. Winters’ family background, appearance, and knowledge,

why wouldn’t women like him? As for Crispin, whom you’ve taken an interest in, what

makes him special?” He defended his master implicitly.

Stephanie was momentarily taken aback but quickly retorted, “I won’t allow you to speak

ill of Crisp. He’s gentle, kind, and far superior to Mr. Winters in every way. Mr. Winters has

nothing besides wealth!”

He felt a surge of indignation. How could she claim that Elias had nothing besides money?

“What does Crisp have, then?” he asked in a challenge.

That fired her up. “Crisp graduated from a prestigious university in Cludan and is currently

pursuing a PhD-

Yacob interrupted her, “Mr. Winters holds a master’s degree from MIT!”

Stephanie pondered momentarily and pressed on after observing his prideful expression.

“Crisp secured scholarships through his outstanding academic achievements and is

tirelessly dedicated to his studies!”

He retorted, “Mr. Winters entered university at sixteen and skipped several grades. Do you

know why? It’s because he’s intelligent and has a remarkably high IQ!”

She was speechless.

Taking note of her silence, he boasted once more, “Moreover, Mr. Winters has been voted

the most handsome individual among the second-generation wealthy elite. His looks rival

those of male celebrities. in the entertainment industry. He could easily be a top-tier star if

it weren’t for his family’s wealth.”
