Burn Those Who Burned Me novel Chapter 188

Chapter 188

“Of course she will! If she don’t, we’ll just threaten to disown her.”

That was something that always made Graceland cave, the thought of no longer having a family again always made her cave into the countless demands of the Rochesters.

Noah shook his head in disgust. In truth, he hated how lazy and unexceptional his siblings were. They were the future of the Rochester clan and yet they were completely indulged. But he didn’t have a choice but to go along with their plan. Graceland was the reason why he landed that huge project with the largest real estate firm in North Bay. The meeting for the project was in two weeks and he was nowhere near prepared. He would need her help.

“Will she even be at this party?”

Jonathan Brooks asked in an irritated voice. He still fumed at how Graceland chose to defend some brainless stranger over him. He could still see the fire in her eyes the day she’d slapped him for what

he said about Kai Christiansen.

To make matters worse, Olivia had been getting on his nerves lately. All she did was complain and shop. Instead of spending her time studying to make sure she graduated with honors; she spent most of her days wasting time and money. This type of behavior was sure to anger his grandfather.

Everyone assumed his grandfather wanted him to marry Graceland because she was the biological daughter, but the truth was, he believed Graceland to be the more superior of the two.

“Listen boy, this isn’t about your personal feelings. This is about what can elevate you as the head of the Brooks Clan! That girl is a genius and a prodigy; she’ll be able to take you to the next level!”

Patting Jonathan on the shoulder, his grandfather lowered his tone.

“Listen, you know I love Olivia…but she isn’t cut from the same cloth. Now you can keep her as your mistress…but Graceland will be your wife!”

The day he told his grandfather about Graceland marrying into the Christiansen family, his grandfather Isaac nearly had a stroke.

“GOT DAMMIT BOY! You control one girl!”

“Grandfather! It’s nothing I could do! Calvin wasn’t going to turn down an opportunity to merge with House Christiansen anymore than you would have. Besides, you’re wrong about Livie! She’s top of her

class! She’s just as smart and talented as Graceland is.”

Isaac laughed at Jonathan. He’d been around long enough to recognize what a ‘good stock‘ was, and he was convinced it was Graceland.

“Fine boy. Marry the girl. But mark my words, if you end up being wrong about this…I’ll make sure you live to regret it! Also…see if that girl can get you a connection to House Christiansen…might as well use her marriage to our advantage as well.”

When Jonathan learned about the Rochesters being invited to the birthday party, Olivia informed him that he had been included as her plus one.

“This will give me an opportunity to speak with Graceland about a merge with House Christiansen.‘

Still, he had his doubts about whether she would even be there. Since her departure, Olivie

constantly complained about how Graceland was ignoring her calls and wouldn’t do her homework.

She even suggested the Christiansen’s had her locked away taking care of their brain dead son.

Considering her lack of communication, perhaps that was true.

“I’m sure she’ll be there if not for any other reason but to keep face.”

Noah’s answer made sense. Surely House Christiansen wouldn’t do anything to embarrass or bring

shame to their family name. Even if Graceland was a mere maid, they wouldn’t show that to the

public.

As the Rochesters and Brooks all schemed on how to use Graceland, they failed to notice the storm

that was slowly brewing.

For someone had been recording all of their conversations and would soon help Graceland and the Christiansens bring them all down.

“Hey…did the invitation say who’s birthday it is?”
