Chapter 424: Paige Lawson's Fingers Trembled Slightly

"Payment?" Paige Lawson's fingers trembled slightly. "It's always been on auto-pay."

"I'm sorry, your account has been frozen."

"Frozen? Who did this?"

"The account holder personally requested it."

Paige suddenly laughed, tears streaming down her face.

"Grant Holloway, you're ruthless."

After over a month in the hospital, Paige was finally discharged.

She stood at the entrance, the sunlight stinging her eyes.

Grant ended his meeting early today.

"Take me home," he ordered the driver curtly.

Outside the car window, the sky darkened as storm clouds loomed low.

He hated this kind of weather—humid and suffocating.

The car screeched to a sudden halt as they entered the gated community.

Grant lurched forward, nearly hitting his forehead on the front seat.

"What happened?" His voice was icy.

"Sorry, Mr. Holloway," the driver stammered. "Someone ran out in front of us..."

Grant looked up.

Through the rain, a frail figure stood before the car.

Paige was drenched, her white dress clinging to her like a drowned butterfly.

The driver winced in sympathy.

Grant didn't even blink. "Call security."

Paige had nowhere left to go.

Her mother had fled with her younger brother. Her university had already expelled her.

Grant was her last hope.

"Grant!" She pounded on the car window, her voice breaking. "I know I was wrong..."

Rain and tears mixed on her lips, bitter and salty.

"You're all I have left..."

The window remained shut.

Security quickly surrounded her.

"Miss, you need to leave immediately."

"I live here!" Paige stomped her foot in frustration. "Grant can vouch for me!"

She desperately knocked on the window. "Grant! Please say something..."

Two guards grabbed her arms and began dragging her away.

Grant watched coldly.

"Drive," he commanded.

The driver wiped his brow and hit the gas.
