How Did Her Spirit Root Emerge

"I'm so sorry, sis!" Leon Wan exclaimed. "I just couldn't stand seeing you and Kenneth being picked on!"

Grace Wan shook her head and knelt before Minister Zhuo. "Prime Minister, this is all my fault! If I'd raised Kenneth better, none of this would have happened!"

Minister Zhuo frowned at her, but remained silent.

"Prime Minister, I know your heart is the same for all your children! But Kenneth doesn't see it that way." Grace Wan wiped her tears, her face full of sorrow. "He always thinks you've kept Jason Zhuo by your side since he was little, while he's just a child of secondary status, so he feels insecure. That's why he did such a foolish thing!"

She glanced at Leon Wan as she spoke. "His uncle only did this because he was worried about Kenneth! If you want to blame someone, Prime Minister, blame me—I'm the one who failed to teach my son! Please, punish me and Madam instead!"

This time, Minister Zhuo really went a bit overboard.

Kenneth Lawrence really did almost get beaten to death—no exaggeration there.

Honestly, it's no wonder Leon Wan's heart ached for his nephew.

Dowager Lady Evelyn let out a long sigh and looked at Minister Zhuo. "Minghan, Kenneth's already hanging by a thread. Let him rest and recover, okay? Don't push him any further."

Hearing Grace Wan's words, Minister Zhuo's heart softened for his son and he nodded.

So Dowager Lady Evelyn Zhu said to Leon Wan, "Captain Wan, today's matter could be big or small! For the sake of Lady Blue Moon and Kenneth, we won't turn you over to the authorities."

Leon Wan breathed a sigh of relief. "Thank you, Madam! Thank you, Prime Minister!"

"But as the saying goes, even a dog deserves respect for its owner! You tied up the Prime Minister's guards and tortured them for information—this is a grave disrespect to the Zhu Family. And your hostility towards our Miss Lawrence is just as serious."

Leon Wan looked uneasily at Dowager Lady Evelyn Zhu.

"From now on, the Wan Family will no longer be involved in the Zhu Family's business dealings," said Dowager Lady Evelyn Zhu.

Many of the Wan Family's relatives have been working in the Zhu Family's businesses.

All of Leon Wan's business ventures depended on the Zhu Family.

Dowager Lady Evelyn Zhu's words basically cut off their family's financial lifeline!

Leon Wan panicked and cried out, "Madam! This—"

"Brother!" Grace Wan interrupted him. "Madam not turning you over to the authorities is already the greatest mercy! What more do you want?"

Leon Wan shot a knife-like glare at Grace.

In the past, even if he had kidnapped Tenner, or even Grace, Dowager Lady Evelyn wouldn't have made such a fuss.

By the way, how did her spirit root even grow?

"Brother! Hurry up and thank Madam!" Grace Wan kept giving him meaningful looks.

In the end, he had no choice but to reluctantly thank Dowager Lady Evelyn and promise to withdraw from all Zhu Family business.

Dowager Lady Evelyn nodded and asked Grace, "Grace, do you have any objections to Grandmother's decision?"

Grace was silent for a moment, then shook her head.

Tenner's punishment was actually pretty light.

Dowager Lady Evelyn was already giving her a lot of face by handling things this way.

Dowager Lady Evelyn breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Make sure to get a good doctor for Tenner. Prescribe plenty of spirit medicine!"

"Okay."

"Xuezhen, Liancai, don't let this happen again. Otherwise, the punishment will be severe!" added Dowager Lady Evelyn.

"Yes," they both replied together.

......

With that, the matter was settled.

Grace hadn't objected once from start to finish.

She knew perfectly well that, in the eyes of Dowager Lady Evelyn, Tenner was just an ordinary guard—not important enough.

But in Grace's heart, he was family.
