I Could Crush You With One Finger

Kevin Zhuo looked smugly at Grace and Jason Zhuo, then replied, "Yes. I can do it."

......

On that side, the grandmother and grandson were enjoying their happy reunion, while Jason Zhuo hung his head even lower.

Grace watched him, her heart aching faintly.

That's just how he is.

Because he's an adopted son, he always keeps to his place, no matter the situation.

Even though his cultivation, talent, and virtue far surpassed Kevin Zhuo, he never once stood out.

And now, he was to marry into the Wan family as a live-in son-in-law, working himself to the bone for them without ever earning respect, only to die in sorrow at the end...

Grace glanced coolly at Dowager Lady Evelyn Zhu and Kevin Zhuo, then suddenly spoke up: "Grandmother, I’ll take my leave now!"

Dowager Lady Evelyn Zhu gave her a look, then said to Kevin Zhuo, "Kevin, the matter of divination concerns the future mistress of the Lawrence Family. Whether Grace brings it up or not, it must be done. So, don’t blame her."

Kevin Zhuo barely managed to suppress his hatred for Grace and answered, "Yes!"

"Alright, you may all go now," said Dowager Lady Evelyn Zhu. "I’m going to visit your Second Uncle and see how Queenie and the others are progressing in their cultivation."

"Yes!" Everyone dispersed.

Grace had just stepped out of the Dowager’s garden when she sensed someone following her.

Just from the footsteps, she knew—it was Kevin Zhuo.

Clearly, he couldn't swallow his anger and had to vent it on her...

Grace’s eyes flickered and she whispered a few words to Hope, who quickly hurried away.

Sure enough, Kevin Zhuo caught up to her in a few quick steps, blocking her path.

"Second Brother, what’s wrong?" Grace asked calmly.

"That lightning—what was that all about?" Kevin Zhuo demanded. "I know you’re behind it!"

"Last time you and Cindy Zhu teamed up to frame me and Bobby Zhu, and got me banned from entering the palace. If I really had that kind of power, I’d have zapped you with lightning ages ago!" Grace shot him a sideways glance.

"Stop trying to weasel out of it!" Kevin Zhuo narrowed his eyes at her. "I saw that smug look on your face! It had to be you!"

"If you insist on thinking that way, I can’t help you," Grace replied, totally unfazed. "Go ahead, believe I summoned that lightning!"

"Are you going to talk or not?" Kevin Zhuo glared at her as if he wanted to tear her apart.

"What exactly do you want me to say?"

"Are you colluding with the Imperial Advisor?" Kevin Zhuo demanded. "Was it you two behind all this?"

"Think whatever you want!" Grace retorted. "Sure, let’s say I bribed the Imperial Advisor and did it on purpose, just so your mother could never become the main wife, and you’d always be the illegitimate son. What are you going to do about it?"

Kevin Zhuo was so furious his insides hurt. "You’re just a useless nobody with no spiritual roots. I really don’t get it—how do you have the nerve to act so cocky? Believe me, I could crush you with a single finger!"

Grace looked at him with a slight smirk. "No, I don’t believe you."

Kevin Zhuo’s eyes flashed with rage as he swung his hand toward her face.

Grace pretended to dodge in fear, but it looked like she didn’t quite make it.

Smack! The sound echoed.

She was knocked to the ground by the blow.

But even that didn’t satisfy Kevin Zhuo—he raised his foot, ready to kick her.

"Kevin Zhuo!" a furious shout rang out.

Jason Zhuo swept in like the wind, Hope trailing behind him.

He shoved Kevin Zhuo aside. "What are you doing? Grace doesn’t have any spiritual power—how can you hit her?"

"None of your business! Get lost!" Kevin Zhuo snarled.
