“Call my name, Grace. Call my name…” said Jason, his slightly hoarse voice sounded coquettish.

“Jay…” She called him by his name. The next moment, Jason’s lips pressed hard against hers, and he kissed her in the most infatuating way.

The voice that had whispered his name was the most beautiful sound in the world, and he wanted to treasure it for the rest of his life.

Throughout the next few days, the Farmer family’s tax evasion scandal was fully covered by the news media. If they had been trying to cover it up before, then now, the fig leaf was completely gone.

At the same time, the tax bureau had mustered enough evidence of the Farmer family’s tax evasion and was now preparing to press further charges against the Farmer family.

Consequently, the Farmer family was forced to pay the taxes. and fines. Hence, their cash flow became restrained, and no bank was willing to lend them any money.

The Farmer family which once owned a huge convenience.

store chain empire was now teetering on the brink of a possible a**et restructure and takeover.

The series of events left many ordinary people dazzled, and some wondered how the Farmer family had been brought down so fast.

On the other hand, people in their social circle, especially those that had attended the banquet that day, knew why.

It was probably the result of Tasha Farmer offending Jason that day. Tasha Farmer’s actions had brought the entire Farmer family down with her.

Elsie Jordan and Felicia Kemp, who had been with Tasha Farmer that day, were also scolded by their families. Fortunately, their family businesses only suffered a little and did not experience as bad of a crisis as the Farmer family.

Elsie Jordan and Felicia Kemp were also scared. Fortunately, Tasha Farmer had acted on her own by taking the initiative to target Grace. Although the two had fanned the flames, they had not picked on Grace directly.

It was already misfortunate enough for the Farmer family. However, Tasha Farmer’s eldest brother added fuel to the fire as shouted in Tasha Farmer’s face that she had dissipated all the fortune that would have been his.

Mr. and Mrs. Wang had asked their circle of friends for help, but no one dared to help them.

Tasha Farmer had not expected to end up dragging the entire Former family down just by taunting Grace.

“There… There must be a mistake. How could Jason do this for a woman?” Tasha Farmer whispered to herself.

Nevertheless, the truth was now right in front of her. Her social circle of female friends had also begun avoiding her.

As for Elsie Jordan and Felicia Kemp, they eagerly wished to be unrelated to her. Additionally, her friends that often called themselves her sisters were now unwilling to give her a hand.

She even had a friend say to her face, “You’re way too impulsive, Tasha. Tell me. If a man like Jason had intentions of bringing a woman to a party himself, would he not find out about her background beforehand? Imprisonment? Hmph. It might be an unpleasant taint for ordinary people, but Jason is no ordinary person! Does he care if a woman has been to prison? He could even make a beggar a princess if he wanted to.”

Tasha Farmer froze when she heard this. Yes, she had forgotten that Jason was no ordinary person. How could Jason not know something that even she knew?

“Besides, the Atkinson family has not uttered a single word. What’s the hurry?” the girlfriend added, “Wasn’t Lily there? Did you see her get upset and say something?”

Tasha Farmer seemed to have been struck by lightning as she realized she had acted like a clown that night. She had thought that she was making fun of Grace, but in actual truth, all she had done was make fun out of herself and let everyone. see her as a joke!

Evelyn was rejected entry at Brian’s private mansion as the servant said to her, “Please leave, Miss Cummins. Sir told me that he doesn’t want to see anyone.”

“Did you tell him it was me?” Evelyn asked hurriedly. She had not seen much of Brian ever since the banquet. Additionally, he had turned her down every time she tried to reach him.

Now, she had come straight to his house but was refused entry.

“Mr. Hart said he won’t see ‘anyone’. I suppose ‘anyone’ includes you, Miss Cummins. Or you could call Mr. Hart and ask if he wishes to see you. If he does, I’ll let you in,” The servant said respectfully. Nevertheless, a hint of disdain could be seen in his eyes that were slightly lowered.

Evelyn was one of the many women he had seen in his life. None of the crown prince’s girlfriends had not been eager to get a hold of his heart. However, who could get a hold of it?

Miss Cummins was ambitious. However, just like her predecessors, she was unable to enter the crown prince’s heart. It probably would not take long for her to retire as the crown prince’s girlfriend.

Evelyn could only stare and gnash her teeth in hatred. Could she call Brian and get him to see her? Would she beg a servant?

Inside the mansion, Brian was in his studio, holding a pencil and drawing a portrait-a portrait of what he imagined the little girl from his memories would look like after growing up.

Only after he had finished the portrait did he realize that what he had drawn was a Grace lookalike.

Brian stared at the portrait he had drawn and put down his pencil.

He had to be mad! He had thought of the little girl from his childhood while drawing but ended up drawing Grace.

His delusion had to be caused by the many similarities Grace. and that little girl shared.

His delusion led him to take Grace too seriously.

For the past few days, as soon as he closed his eyes, a flashback of the scene he had witnessed that day would flash.

across his mind. It was the scene of Jason kissing Grace.

Was she… finally with Jason?

She did not struggle nor resist. She was so willing.

Brian felt as if something precious of his had been lost, broken… He felt the feeling spread across his body. Perhaps. he had lost something forever and could no longer get back what he wanted…

Brian’s fingers gently touched the portrait in front of him. When had the portrait’s face become etched in his mind?

When he thought about Jason kissing her, the uncomfortable feeling he felt was probably called… jealousy.

Brian’s eyes gradually became misty. Then, he could not help but lean over, letting his lips… kiss the lips in the portrait.

Was he crazy, spellbound… or… yearning for something that he desperately wanted until he was now almost beyond control?

The answer seemed unsolvable to him.

Grace heard about the Farmer family’s affairs from the news. Although their tax evasion scandal had been covertly.

reported in the news before, with the Farmer family’s ability, it was unlikely that the entire enterprise could not turn over just because of this matter.

Unless Jason was one of the driving forces. Otherwise, with the Farmer family’s connections, they could always find several helpers and would not reach the point of being annihilated.

When she asked Jason about it, he simply replied, “Tasha Farmer picked on you. Of course, they deserve it.”

“That’s her problem. It has nothing to do with her family…”

“Her family’s business was already full of problems. I simply exposed them first. Besides, business is business. People in the business world are not fools. Many are waiting for the Former family to slip up so that they can take over their convenience store chain’s market share,” said Jason.

Grace heard and understood somewhat.

Of course, she could also understand somewhat what

Jason did to the Farmer family was not only because Tasha Farmer picked on her, but also as a reminder to the business. community in Emerald City. That way, no one would dare to pick on her like Tasha Farmer in the future. If they did… It meant they were not afraid to end up like the Farmer family.

“It feels like I’m always dragging you down. You have to protect me over and over again,” said Grace as she bit her lip slightly. This was what happened to the Atkinson family last time and the same went for Tasha Farmer this time.

“If I don’t protect you, then who should I protect? Besides, I don’t think you’re dragging me down,” said Jason as he lifted his finger and caressed her lips. “Stop biting your lip. I love getting to protect you.”

He was more than glad that she was willing to accept his protection. His greatest fear was that she would not let him.

protect her one day.

“I want to protect you for the rest of my life, all right?” He bent down gently, his dark eyes looking straight at her while his deep voice was like the night wind-cool and full of never-ending longing.

Grace was a little stunned. It was as if he had put himself at the bottom of the scale, waiting for her approval. He even looked like he would do anything for it.

She was supposed to be the one to thank him, but now there was a misconception that it was the other way around.

How could she not love such a man?
