Chapter 73: Confrontation

After the people were found on the dock beach, James directly ordered them to be carried back to the Governor's Palace, and then asked Grace and Zhou An'an to come and check on their injuries.

After Grace and An An carefully examined the few people, they did not find any obvious injuries, and their breathing was fairly even, all in all, although they were in a coma, they should not have any worries about their lives.

Although James once completely dispelled the idea of pursuing Grace, but every time Grace stood in front of him, he couldn't help but look at her a few more times, deep down James was still very eager to get her, maybe it was mixed with greed for wealth and power, but it wasn't all of these, after all, James's father used to be a military attache next to Grace's father, and the two knew each other when they were young. So there must be real feelings.

When Grace's father died in order to protect the noble viewing group, he got the duke's aristocratic status because of a blessing in disguise, although as an only daughter, Grace has no right to inherit the title and property, but as long as she marries her and is willing to change her surname to the Grace family, then glory and wealth are at your fingertips, and more importantly, in addition to these visible and tangible temptations, there are also invisible but more precious connections, the commanders of those observation groups are now in important positions, and they are grateful to Grace's father, So once you marry Grace, these valuable network resources can be used for several purposes. In addition, Grace's own conditions are also very superior, with a tall figure and delicate facial features, regardless of family background, it is definitely the object of admiration of many men.

James once thought that after she and Grace stayed on Paradise Island, he would have more opportunities to contact Grace, without the competition of other noble children in Britain, on this island, he was already the most noble existence, Grace would be his anyway, and then because of my appearance, James thought that I would be his biggest rival, and after arresting me through the Mattieson incident, he thought that no one would compete with him anymore, but what he didn't expect was that Grace's attitude towards him became more and more cold, James is not willing to bet all his hopes on Grace, and he is unwilling to give up easily, and the tangled contradictions make his feelings for Grace very complicated.

"Lord Governor, these people have already been checked, there shouldn't be any big problems, we injected them with a little nutrient solution, and it is estimated that they will be able to wake up after a while of rest." Grace noticed that James's eyes had been on her, and she wanted to leave quickly.

"Well," James nodded, "That's fine, but these people are of unknown origin, and they may have some big secrets, so I hope you can stay here just in case they wake up completely." ”

"That's not necessary," Grace refused James's request without thinking about it, she said: "The clinic is not far from the Governor's Palace, if something unexpected happens, we can get there soon, the weather on the island has been unpredictable recently, and there are many patients in the clinic, and An An and I have to go back to treat others." ”

Since Grace didn't want to stay, James couldn't force it, so he could only watch her and Zhou An'an turn to leave, but when they walked to the door, James suddenly said behind him: "Grace, today is my birthday, I remember when I was young, whenever I had a birthday, my father would invite you to my birthday party with the whole family, I still remember that you would prepare some small gifts for me every time, I miss that good time, so can you accompany me to dinner tonight?" ”

James's words made Grace stunned, she seemed to recall the bits and pieces of her childhood, but what she really liked in her heart was the innocent James who always stood behind her and silently protected her, not the Governor who is now unscrupulous in pursuit of power and wealth.

An An gently pushed Grace, who was a little dazed, Grace came back to her senses, she turned to look at James and said: "I hope that you are still the same as you used to be, and I also wish that we are still the same as we used to be, but time has changed everything, you are no longer the you you used to be, and I am no longer the me I used to be." So why not forget about it, Your Excellency the Governor. ”

After saying that, Grace turned around again and took An An to leave.

"If this dinner could be exchanged for your friend's freedom, would you still be so determined to leave?" James restrained his emotions and asked coldly.

After Mattheeson was teased by Long Xin'er, his heart was full of anger but there was nowhere to vent, and he went to the Governor's Mansion to find James and was scolded by him, living so big, Mattheison was the first time to suffer such a big dumb loss, but who is he, he is the most famous and richest business tycoon in the British Empire, the nephew of Earl Soros, in the British Empire, even if the senior officials of the Imperial Cabinet see him, they are polite and polite, and he naturally can't swallow this breath.

So when he heard that he found a few people floating over from the sea on the shore of the dock, he was excited for a while, and thought that it was me and Uncle Wei who came back, he felt that Long Xin'er had been ignoring him, and he must still have fantasies about his husband, if he killed her husband directly, she came from the far east and was helpless, and in the end she could only obey herself. So he led his men and limped to the docks, but was told that the man had already been carried back to the Governor's Mansion by James, and Matthison had to drag his lame legs and lead his men to the Governor's Palace.

In the Doge's Palace, Grace agreed to James' request after making James swear to God that she would keep her promise, but she still insisted that she must wait until the evening to return to the appointment, and she was unwilling to stay in the Doge's Palace for long anyway.

After Grace left, Long Xin'er walked out of the corner of the room, she looked at James with a complicated expression and said, "The Governor should be happy, Miss Grace has already agreed to your request." ”

James sat down on the chair and said helplessly: "If I hadn't proposed the terms of exchange, I'm afraid she wouldn't have agreed at all." ”

Long Xin'er said with a smile: "Actually, you already know her attitude towards you, so why don't you want to give up?" ”

James looked at Long Xin'er, "Mrs. Han, although I am very optimistic about the cooperation with you, I will pin all my hopes on you without me." In addition, returning your husband's freedom was originally what I promised you, and it can be regarded as my sincerity for our cooperation, I hope it will not disappoint me. ”

"Of course, my promise to the Governor will be fulfilled, and I beg you to believe that we have come from the far east, with great determination and preparation, but I have to remind the Governor once again that we must not leak the slightest rumor until our plan is successful. Sandro can install a Tina as an agent in Boulder Camp, and it is also possible to install the same person in your identity. ”

"Hmm", James nodded, his originally somewhat gloomy face suddenly brightened again, he looked at Long Xin'er meaningfully and asked with a smile: "Actually, I've always had a question, is Han Dong just a need to cover your identity for you, or do you really regard him as your husband?" ”

Long Xin'er didn't answer directly, just said, "I'm Mrs. Han" and left the Governor's Palace.
