Demon CEO's Hidden Love: Mr Grayson Stole Me From My Abusive Husband-Chapter 77: Everybody But Her

Serena marched down the stairs the moment Gilbert took his leave. Upon reaching the living room, the first thing she noticed was the gifts spread out on the table, and the document next to them.

"Cassie what was that man doing here?" She asked, Cassie popped her head up and cocked a grin at Serena.

"It’s a good thing you’re here. Take a look at all these gifts the Grayson heir just sent me!" She announced, picking up a shoe box, her eyes gleaming with excitement.

Serena gasped and covered her mouth in awe, as Cassie took out a pair of sleek black heels with red bottoms. She rushed over to touch it, but Cassie swatted her touch away. freёwebnoѵel.com

"Not so fast, there’s something I want you to sign first mother." She said, placing the shoes on her laps. She picked up the document and passed it to Serena.

"Open the last page, the bottom right, sign under your name and give it back to me." Cassie said.

Serena picked up the file and flipped through the pages, until she found the spot Cassie described. She noticed her daughter’s name next to hers with her signature already signed off.

"Cassie what is this for?" Serena asked.

"It’s our ticket for getting dad out of prison, Mr Grayson has agreed to lend us a hand." She informed her, reaching for the other gifts.

Her mother frowned. "Again with this heir? The same one you know absolutely nothing about?" She dropped the file on the table and shot Cassie a glare, "Cassie, don’t you think you’re being played?"

"Played?" Cassie scoffed, "What would an uneducated woman like you know?"

Serena folded her arms across her stomach, and rolled her eyes, already used to Cassie delivering low blows. "Yes, I’m uneducated, but I’m not that blind to see when something is wrong. Do you really think this man has good intentions?"

"Oh?" She laughed, "You think he doesn’t? The man who has agreed to buy out for shares for twenty million?!"

At the mention of the amount, Serena nearly fainted. "Did you say twenty million?"

Cassie grinned, "Yes. And if you sign it, you’ll get five million." She said.

Serena pointed at herself, unsure if she heard right, "I’d get five million? A-Are you sure?"

"But of course. So just sign those documents mother, and let’s get father out of prison, before that wench Sadie can do something else." Cassie spat out.

But Serena was still awe struck. At the mention of the amount she started to imagine herself in high class luxury. Ever since she had married Luther, the highest amount of money she had gotten from him was five thousand dollars.

Of course, it was a big upgrade from her past, but now, with five million, she could really say she was a big fish.

’All the women in the club would respect me. What a freaking lucky deal.’ she thought, however, her reason swiftly swept in.

"But, what will your father say when he finds out about the shares? Won’t he be angry?" She asked, but Cassie shook her head and got up. She stood behind her mother and started lightly massaging her shoulders.

"Father already wanted me to get the Grayson heir as a sponsor, having him as an investor will make him even more pleased. He’ll be proud of us," she stopped and whispered into her ear. "He’ll be proud of you."

The thought made Serena grin from ear to ear. "Alright fine. But I have one condition. I want to speak with this heir myself, if I see him I’ll decide for myself."

Cassie pinched her temples, "Why are you so stubborn?"

But her mother was adamant, "If he has good intentions, he’ll let us meet with him once." Cassie was left with no choice but to agree, since she did not want to provoke Serena into backing out.

"I’ll contact his assistant and ask him to arrange a meeting." She gave in, secretly taking advantage of the chance to meet with Thane Grayson one last time.

*Grayson Mansion*

Brooke did not have the time to brood over Thane’s sudden admission to the hospital, because she received an email, with the date and time for her makeup audition.

"Tomorrow?" She spat out, shocked at the date, "And it’s in the morning too." She checked the address and it was a completely different venue, at another part of the city.

’I guess the producers don’t want any external disturbances like last time.’ she sighed, thinking to herself.

It had been some time since the chaotic failed auction, that she had started to think the audition would never happen.

Hannah returned with Jessica and the rest of Thane’s team late in the night to make sure Brooke’s prosthetic leg was functioning properly.

"Thankfully, everything is working smoothly, you should be ready for tomorrow, as long as you don’t strain yourself." Jessica announced.

"Thank you." Brooke responded, her eyes softened, "All of you, I was very nervous about tomorrow, and you helped calmed me down."

Jessica crocuhed down and gently rubbed her shoulder, "We didn’t do anything, you’re a strong woman to be so put together despite everything happening, I really admire you."

Brooke knew she was taking about Mr Grayson, and judging from her tone she also knew that Jessica knew much more about his condition than she did. Not just her, everyone on his team and even the maids seemed to have an iota of an idea of what was going on.

Everybody but her.

Something she felt bittersweet about.

She forced a smile and changed the subject, "Can we do one more test? If it isn’t any trouble, I want to practice with the lines I have for tomorrow..."

Tomorrow was a big day for her, and she did not want anything to ruin everything that Thane and her had worked hard for. If she could help it, she wanted to surprise Mr Grayson with the news of her landing the role as soon as he woke up.
