Chapter 1042
“Don’t worry. I’ll make sure Julian ends up in prison where he belongs.”
She couldn’t let the man who caused her daughter so much pain and suffering go unpunished.
He had to pay for every bit of it.
Anyone who had hurt her daughter wouldn’t get away unscathed.
Grace had always been clear about her goal–from the beginning, her target was Julian.
Never the Hayes Enterprises.
She had no interest in tearing down the company.
Because she knew very well, the one who caused harm to her daughters had always been Julian alone.
Whether it was Aurora or Tessa, everything they suffered had come from Julian.
There was no need to drag others into it.
But now, with the way the Hayes family was acting, she began to wonder if she’d taken the wrong path
from the start.
Maybe she should’ve gone after the Hayes Enterprises too.
At this moment, Grace was seriously questioning the decisions she’d made.
But since she had already made her stance known, she couldn’t go back on her word so easily.
As for what came next, she’d return later and see what Albert was really up to.
He hadn’t left the house in days–she knew that for a fact.
Grace let out a cold snort inwardly. She was well aware of the Hayeses‘ every move.
Even if she hadn’t paid extra attention, she still had full control of the situation.
That was why she knew Albert wasn’t absent–he was hiding at home,
So, she decided to give them a bit more time.
But if they still refused to show up, things wouldn’t stay this simple.
She wouldn’t let the Hayes family off so easily.
Next time she came back, they had better give her a proper explanation.
Grace and her group left just like that.

They hadn’t expected the Hayeses to behave this way today.
Had she known, Grace definitely would’ve brought two bodyguards along.
Now, with just the two of them and a driver, she wasn’t the type to take unnecessary risks without full
control.
After they left, only when the car had completely disappeared from view did the Hayes‘ butler dare to
open the gate.
He stepped outside to look around, then went back in to report to Albert.
“Sir, they’ve left.”
He shared his observation. “But they looked clearly upset when they did. I’m not sure if they’ll come back.”
Inside the house, Albert sat on the sofa, and sprawled across the floor was Carol.
Her face had lost all color, no longer bearing the pride or sharpness she once had. Her body was covered in marks from repeated beatings.
She gripped her arm tightly, trying to hold back a cry.
When the Walton driver knocked earlier, she had nearly screamed.
For the past two days, Albert had tormented her nonstop. She was no longer recognizable.
The only moments she got to rest were when he finally fell asleep.
She had thought about escaping this nightmare, but the moment she considered it, she realized–she had
nowhere to go.
The world was vast, yet there wasn’t a single place she could call home.
After all these years of marriage, she never imagined he could still be this cruel to her.
