She could not help but visualize the scene that night when she had watched him hold Grace in his arms in front of the small restaurant.

Even if… Brian did not know that Grace was the little girl, was he still attracted to Grace?

“As for her…” Brian pointed again at the manager who had scolded Grace. “I don’t think she needs to work here anymore.”

The manager looked shocked. Had she… been fired by Master

Hart?

The manager broke out in a cold sweat. Being fired by the entertainment industry’s crown prince in person meant that she could forget about working in the industry. No company would accept her.

She… She had only taken it out for Evelyn! She had only been trying to please Evelyn!

The manager looked at Evelyn for help, but how could Evelyn help her? Brian’s eyes were so cold they seemed to be able to read people’s hearts, making her tremble.

Brian turned to look at Grace. “Are you all right?” There was a touch of rare concern in his voice.

“I’m fine,” Grace replied lightly. Then she said to Howell Webb’s a**istant who was still in a trance beside her, “Can we go now?”

“Oh, of course… of course we can,” the a**istant replied hurriedly and continued leading the way. Grace dragged Lina Sweeney who was now guilty and followed the a**istant

Behind them, Evelyn lowered her eyes; she did so to hide the look of hatred she had in her eyes.

Brian… went as far as to criticize her in public for Grace. ‘What was so good about Grace?’ She had to make sure that Grace lost access to several opportunities!

Grace and Lina Sweeney followed the a**istant to Howell

Webb’s lounge

Howell Webb was pretty cordial toward them, offering to take pictures with them. He even said with a smile, “If you want tickets to any of my movies in the future, you can just call me and I’ll have them delivered.”

As he spoke, he gave Lina Sweeney his phone number.

In Howell Webb’s opinion, Young Master Reed had mentioned that Miss Cummins was his girlfriend when Grace came with

Jason that day. Naturally, he wanted to get along with her.

After all, being in showbiz, the more connections one had, the merrier.

Lina Sweeney was Grace’s best friend, and Howell Webb was more than happy to show kindness,

If Howell Webb had given Lina Sweeney his phone number in person before this, Lina Sweeney would have been thrilled.

However, at this moment she merely took it and said a polite thank you.

After getting Howell Webb’s autograph and posters, Lina

Sweeney took the initiative to say to Howell Webb, “Sorry for bothering you today. We gotta go now, thank you!”

With that, Lina Sweeney left and dragged Grace with her.

Grace was a little surprised. She had thought that Lina.

Sweeney would want to stay a bit longer.

Once they were out of Howell Webb’s lounge, Grace said, “Why did you leave so soon? You couldn’t have been shy just because he was near you.”

“No!” Lina Sweeney rolled her eyes. What was her friend saying? “I just think I shouldn’t have brought you here today.”

“Just because of Evelyn?” asked Grace.

“She’s clearly trying to set you up by doing such things in front of all those fans. We have no idea what the internet is going to say about you.” Lina Sweeney was often caught up with all kinds of entertainment gossip. Thus, it was only natural for her to think of such things.

“They can say whatever they want.” Grace shrugged. She was long past caring about gossip. Grace used to hope that she left a good impression of herself in the eyes of others. However, she later found out that if she cared too much about other’s opinions, she would only end up suffering.

If she had continued to care about what others thought upon.

getting out of prison, she would have ended up hanging herself with a rope.

“Why don’t you ask Jason to help you? If there are really bad rumors on the internet, ask Jason to get someone to shut them. down,” said Lina Sweeney. After all, such a thing should not be a problem for Jason.

Grace looked at her best friend’s worried look and patted her on the shoulder. “All right, I get it. Don’t worry about it.”

“By the way, what’s your relationship with Brian?” Lina Sweeney thought of another question. “He seems to… care. about you. He even helped you get Evelyn off your back.”

No matter how she looked at it, Brian seemed to be on Grace’s.

side. However, Brian was Evelyn’s boyfriend.

“He just thinks I look a bit like someone he knows. Maybe… he got separated from that person and didn’t get to find her. So, he feels a little compensatory when he sees me,” said Grace. Her guesses were based on past conversations she had had with Brian.

“I think I’ve heard of it,” Lina Sweeney thought for a moment before saying, “From the gossip posts I’ve seen before, someone has said that it seems all the girlfriends Brian has had are just stand-ins. Brian has been trying rather hard to find a woman.”

Lina Sweeney used to think that those netizens were merely spouting nonsense, but it now seemed to be true.

While they were talking, they saw Hadwin Stephenson coming their way.

Lina Sweeney immediately felt guilty and subconsciously hid behind Grace.

“Why? You dare say you’re working overtime today but your dare not see me?” Hadwin Stephenson’s voice rang coldly.

Lina Sweeney let out a hollow laugh. “Hehe…” That was the reason why people could not lie. If one told a lie, he or she would be caught easily.

Hadwin Stephenson once again turned his gaze to Grace.

“Hello. Sorry if this girl has given you trouble today. Are you done? If you’re done, why don’t we have a meal together?”

“No, I have other things to do. Just eat with Lina,” said Grace.

She did not want to be the third wheel.

“I’ll take you home then,” said Hadwin Stephenson.

“It’s all right. I can just take the subway in front of the cinema.

There won’t be any traffic jams,” Grace said as she bid farewell to Lina Sweeney.

After Grace left, Hadwin Stephenson folded his arms in front of his chest and stared at Lina Sweeney with a half-smile. “I think you should explain to me what happened today.”

Lina Sweeney said rather lamely, “Well, I was tired from working overtime, so I came here to relax with Grace.”

“Is that so?” He grunted, making it clear that he did not believe her explanation.

“Well, what brought you here?” She asked as she began to change the subject. Additionally, when the question escaped her mouth, she realized that she was really confused. When she saw him, he was walking with Brian.

“What do you think?” He looked at her disgruntledly.

If it had not been because of this woman, he would not have thought about asking Brian for some posters and autographs of Howell Webb after seeing him.

Of course, posters that showed the muscles of his upper body were excluded.

Brian happened to be there for some business, and Howell

Webb had a roadshow there that day. Thus, he merely came along.

Who would have thought that of all the people, he would see the little liar there?

Nevertheless, looking at the rolls of paper in her hand that were clearly posters, Hadwin Stephenson only found it setting his teeth on edge.
