Chapter 238 Slap.

Lu Xia was unaware of what was happening at the Duke of Leslie's mansion, nor did she pay attention to what was happening online.

Grace, on the other hand, received the news. After all, he was also a male son of the Duke of Leslie's family, and his current identity was sensitive. If he was involved, even just his name would attract special attention.

When Cardin handed in the report, he specifically mentioned this incident. After Grace found out, she quickly glanced at the file, her brows furrowed, but she didn't say anything, though her expression showed great impatience.

Cardin wisely refrained from saying anything more, because he could tell that Grace wasn't in a good mood, even though she hadn't said anything, and he didn't want to provoke her.

To Grace's surprise, before he could even go to Hugheska, Hugheska approached Lu Xia.

After Lu Xia recovered, she went to work at No. 3 Courtyard.

Seeing that she had recovered, everyone knew that she had given birth to twins. Some of the volunteers couldn't help but run up to her to ask about the babies.

Lu Xia did not refuse, but instead explained in detail, which made these people very excited and happy.

When Lu Xia came out of Courtyard No. 3 after get off work, she saw a disheveled male squatting next to the hovercar. After careful observation, she recognized him as Hugheska.

Not understanding why the other person had become like this, Lu Xia did not go forward directly.

When Hugheska saw her, he immediately tried to approach her, but was stopped by the security guards of Courtyard No. 3.

"Duke Lu Xia, please help me. I really know I was wrong. I won't do it again. Please talk to my mother and ask her not to kick me out of the Leslie Duke's Mansion, okay?"

Hearing Hugheska's words, Lu Xia asked, not quite understanding, "What did you do that made Duke Leslie expel you?"

In her mind, Hugheska was still on her second marriage and was now the master of descent of a viscount. Why would she talk about being expelled by Duke Leslie?
What happened during this time that she doesn't know about?

Hugheska's expression turned fierce when Lu Xia suddenly asked him this question. He subconsciously felt that Lu Xia was humiliating him.

How could Duke Lu Xia be unaware of what was happening online? Asking him this question is nothing short of an attempt to humiliate him.
Lu Xia also noticed the change in Hugheska's expression, but before she could speak, Hugheska said, "Why are you pretending to be innocent? It's all because of you! Why did you have to develop gene fusion agents? If it weren't for this, Grace would always be a defective product. How could he compare to me? If it weren't for you, natural conception would still be just a legend. How could it become a reality? How could I be disliked by others? It's all your fault, all your fault!"

Faced with Hugheska's shouting, Lu Xia frowned. Just then, a hovercar drove into Courtyard No. 3. Simon got out of the car and immediately came to Lu Xia's side: "Are you alright, Your Grace?"

"I'm fine, why are you here?"

"Since we were just passing by, I also wanted to let you know that our trip to Huahaixing has been confirmed. If you don't have anything else to take care of, we can leave the day after tomorrow."

Lu Ning nodded: "Okay."

"What should we do with this person?" Simon asked, glancing at the shouting Hugheska.

Lu Xia looked at the deranged Hugheska and was at a loss: "I'll contact Duke Leslie first."

But no sooner had she finished speaking than another hovercar drove in, and this time it was Grace who got out. Grace was still wearing her military uniform, which she hadn't had time to change out of, and she had obviously rushed over after hearing the news. The first thing she did after getting out of the car was to glance at Lu Xia. Seeing that Simon was also behind her, she didn't say anything, but instead walked up to Hugheska and kicked him in the knee, causing Hugheska to kneel on the ground and groan in pain.

Grace looked at him coldly: "Have you made enough of a scene?"

Hugheska knelt on the ground in agony: "What are you so arrogant about now? You're nothing but a defective product. What are you so proud of? You're just a lowly, inferior thing to the core. You... ah!"

Before he could finish speaking, Grace grabbed his hair, dragged him up, opened the car door, and threw him inside.

He then closed the car door and walked up to Lu Xia: "Xia Xia, are you alright?"

Meeting Grace's worried gaze, Lu Xia smiled and said, "I'm fine. He was stopped by security when he came over, and didn't have time to do anything."

Grace nodded: "I'll handle this. I won't let him appear in front of you again. Simon, take good care of Xiaxia."

After saying that, Grace turned around, got into the hovercar, and drove away.

After watching them leave, Lu Xia sighed softly.

Simon, who was standing nearby, said, "Grace will handle this. Let's go back."

“Okay.” Lu Xia naturally believed that Grace could handle this matter well.

When Hugheska woke up, he was already tied to a chair, while Grace sat in a chair not far away, watching him indifferently.

He was still wearing that military uniform.

Hugheska glanced around in a panic, but all she saw were cold stone walls. In this huge room, there was only a dim chandelier, and the flickering light made the whole environment very oppressive.

"Where is this?" Hugheska's voice trembled as she spoke again, her previous hysterical arrogance gone. "Grace, what are you going to do to me? I'm your brother, your elder brother! If you dare to do anything to me, Mother will not let you get away with it!"

"You can rest assured about that. Your mother has already expelled you. You are no longer a member of the Leslie Duke's mansion. No one will question what I do to you, and even if they do, I won't listen." Grace stepped out from behind the interrogation table, stood in front of Hugheska, and looked down at him. "Who gave you the courage to go and yell at her, to let her see your ugly face?"

For the first time, Hughes realized that Grace was not the person he had imagined. He was no longer the Grace who would let him bully him without ever fighting back.

It can be said that their positions have now been completely reversed, and he is even worse off than Grace was in the past.

Realizing this, Hugheska's eyes were filled with fear: "What, what are you going to do to me, Grace? Murder is a crime, and you're still the consul. If people find out you murdered your own brother, you'll definitely come to a bad end. And if Duke Lu Xia finds out you killed someone, he'll abandon you... Ah!"

Before Hugheska could finish speaking, Grace slapped him across the face. With the help of his alien genes, half of Hugheska's face was burned by the flames.

Hugheska struggled painfully, but his hands and feet were bound, and he could only make futile struggles.

Grace looked at him, her eyes devoid of any warmth: "Don't let me hear another word about her from you!"
