Chapter 117: Chapter 117

When Conrad Sterling barged into The Grant Residence, he happened to witness the scene of Finn Grant strangling Anna Thornton.

He had been following the car from the Grant Family that picked up Anna Thornton, and the reason he was a step late was that his unregistered vehicle couldn’t get through the gate of The Grant Residence.

Conrad Sterling had considered stopping them along the way, but Anna Thornton had hung up on his call and refused to cooperate.

It seemed this woman had come willingly.

In the middle of the night, instead of sleeping soundly in the hospital with the kids, she casually agreed to enter the home of a strange man. Who gave her such boldness?

Didn’t she know Finn Grant was the number one dangerous person in Aethelgard?

Conrad Sterling’s car was parked outside The Grant Residence, and the more he thought about it, the more uneasy he felt.

However, he had no acquaintance with the Grant Family and no reason to visit in the middle of the night.

In his urgency, unable to wait for contact with Henry Willow, Conrad Sterling simply stormed in and directly sabotaged the security system of The Grant Residence.

Thus, his entrance was heralded by background noise, with alarms sounding throughout the entire estate.

The security personnel, who had been lying in wait nearby, were all mobilized. The bodyguards recognized that the car crashing through the gate belonged to Conrad Sterling, hesitating to block it.

It wasn’t until Conrad Sterling burst into the hall and rescued Anna Thornton from Finn Grant’s grip.

"Cough cough... Conrad Sterling... why are you... here... cough cough!"

Anna Thornton’s throat was unbearably dry, she wanted to speak but a cough stole her words.

Conrad Sterling looked at her with both heartache and anger, unsure how to explain his presence at such a moment, he simply asked, "Why did you block me?"

"Cough cough! Didn’t you find my posts annoying? I figured you didn’t know how to mute them, so I helped you."

"Anna Thornton, are you an idiot?" Conrad Sterling was nearly infuriated by her.

Thinking, does he need your help for this?

With the capability of Great President Sterling managing such a large group with ease, if he puts his mind to it, how hard could a software be?

Earlier, Ethan had said one too many words, resulting in a half-month salary deduction, used as an example for others. Read full story at novel·fire.net

Anna Thornton was even more over the top, remembering Conrad Sterling’s casual remark clearly.

How could she forget that President Sterling had once warned her Finn Grant was a madman?

Instead of obediently keeping her distance from such people, she ended up getting herself hurt by him.

If not for being in someone else’s home, Conrad Sterling would certainly have lectured Anna Thornton first.

But now, he turned his focus to Finn Grant!

Their two gazes collided, seeming to spark as if weapons clashed.

Due to the commotion outside, other people in The Grant Residence were also awakened.

Sarah Grant appeared from a room on the second floor, wrapped in a chiffon robe, instinctively asking, "Brother, what happened?"

"None of your business, help grandpa back to his room to rest," Finn Grant ordered her coldly.

Sarah Grant’s vision finally cleared up a bit from her own rubbing, staring in surprise at the figure of Conrad Sterling downstairs: "Hey, why are you at our house? Did Henry Willow come too?"

"Sarah Grant, shut your mouth! Mention that last name again, and I’ll ground you for half a month!"

"Why so fierce?" Sarah Grant pouted, complaining defiantly, "Having another outbreak."

However, complaints aside, she wouldn’t dare cause trouble in front of her brother during his outbreak.

Being siblings, she knew it was best to stay away from Finn Grant at such times, subsequently following orders to help the Grant Family’s elderly member, who was just coming out of his room, back in.

"Grandpa, you should go back and rest, nothing’s happening down here."

"I thought I heard guests arriving?"

"No, no! My brother will handle everything, don’t worry!"

The awakened people went back, leaving Anna Thornton, Conrad Sterling, Finn Grant, and a large crowd of black-suited bodyguards surrounding the former two in the hall.

Finn Grant first reclaimed his gaze and casually swallowed a pill.

Then he spoke, "Breaking into private property in the middle of the night, President Sterling, did you take the wrong medicine?"

Normally, Conrad Sterling wouldn’t deign to deal with people like Finn Grant.

But today, he glanced at Anna Thornton and said, "I’ve come to find my person!"

Hearing this, Finn Grant also glanced at Anna Thornton and sneered, "Your person? Where?"

Conrad Sterling pulled Anna Thornton behind him, answering with action.

"You’re holding the hand of my fiancée, wouldn’t you believe I’ll accuse you of harassment if you don’t let go?"

Conrad Sterling and Anna Thornton spoke in unison, expressing disagreement with this term.

"Wait, Young Master Grant, I don’t think we reached an agreement," Anna Thornton couldn’t help but interject, "I’ve clearly rejected you twice, haven’t I? You can’t single-handedly assume the proposal was successful."

"But you’ve already accepted my engagement gift," Finn Grant stated.

At this, Conrad Sterling shot his knife-like gaze towards Anna Thornton, who promptly clarified, "No, I gave back that ring, didn’t I? I didn’t accept the roses either!"

"It doesn’t matter if you didn’t take the ring, consider that phone as my engagement gift to you."

"Phone? That phone is mine."

"I returned it to you after finding it, wouldn’t it still be yours if I hadn’t?"

What kind of bandit logic was this?

Besides, that phone wasn’t even found by Finn Grant, he had kidnapped Anna Thornton and snatched it from her hand.

Clearly, such simple reasoning couldn’t get through to Finn Grant, especially after his episode.

It was Conrad Sterling’s remark that hit the nail on the head: "Why bother with this lunatic?"

The noble and aloof Great President Sterling wasn’t interested in wasting time arguing with a lunatic, and directly took Anna Thornton to leave.

The bodyguards behind them seemed eager to stop them but hadn’t received an order from Young Master Grant.

Everyone kept a wary eye on the master’s mood, only to see Finn Grant with an eerie smile on his lips.

"Conrad Sterling, if you dare take her away tonight, I guarantee the news will reach Marilyn Ford’s ears soon. Consider it my birthday gift to her, letting her see how you’re pretending to be devoted to her on the surface, while playing the hero for another woman at my place in the dead of night."

Tomorrow was Marilyn Ford’s birthday party, and Conrad Sterling planned to propose to her then. Finn Grant’s threat was indeed quite powerful.

Anna Thornton guessed Conrad Sterling would at least hesitate, already prepared to be cast aside by him.

However, that man held her hand tightly, without a moment’s hesitation.

"And you!" Finn Grant shifted his gaze back to Anna Thornton, "Even if you leave today, you’ll eventually come back to me. Unless... you don’t want your Thornton Family company back!"

Originally, she hadn’t wanted to engage with him, but at this, Anna Thornton’s steps suddenly halted.

She turned back to Finn Grant and asked, "What do you mean?"
