He uttered a plain sentence as if it was a common thing.

Evelyn’s scalp tingled!

Break up? Was he really breaking up with her?

Forget about her future resource problems. If they broke up just like that, and if she did not manage to put an end to the online scandal, her advertisers and investors might be the first to seek compensation from her. Not to mention, she might not be able to finish the contracts she had signed with the TV series and commercials she had been working on.

Those penalties were no small amount.

“I do love you, Brian. Didn’t… Didn’t you say my lips look like ‘her’ lips? Even if you only think of me as a substitute, I’m content as long as I can stay by your side. Please, don’t break up with me!” She begged. She could not afford to break up with him no matter what.

He let go of his fingers carelessly and sat down on the sofa once more. “It’s a pity, but you’re not even qualified to be a substitute now!”

How could someone like her be a substitute?

He had looked for someone to substitute that person again. and again but was disappointed each time. The women he chose always had a part that made him feel like they were “her”. However, whenever he spent time with them, he was unable to find the feeling he had felt when he was with that little girl.

It was as if the more he tried to grasp it, the less of it he could obtain.

Evelyn wanted to leap forward and detain him, but the two mansion guards stopped her from going anywhere near Brian.

“Brian…” Evelyn shouted desperately, but Brian did not even bother to look at her.

After Evelyn was brought out of the living room, the place fell silent once again. Brian glanced at the electronic screen in front of him, and his eyes only fell on Grace’s figure on the screen.

If it were her, she would not let him feel such a sense of hopelessness.

It was just that a woman like her did not care about being a substitute.

Only he knew in his heart that Evelyn had plotted against him too. The fact of it had made him unhappy for sure, but what made him angry was that Evelyn had plotted against Grace.

Grace looked at the trending online news. In just a few hours, it had changed completely.

That evening, the internet had directed their curses at her. However, it was now all directed at Evelyn. The tables had turned so quickly it was if it were a series of slaps in one’s face.

her. She did not think that such an authority figure would have had the time to read about her gossip.

“Yes. Why didn’t you tell me about it this afternoon?” Jason asked bluntly. He would not have known about the incident if

Terrence had not told him.

“I just don’t think it’s that big of a deal,” said Grace. After all, this sort of thing was nothing compared to what she had experienced in prison.

“Nothing is a big deal to you,” said Jason. Everything about her was a big deal to him. “I don’t like watching my girlfriend bullied.”

“Therefore, those spammers online are all your doing?” asked

Grace.

“Some of them,” said Jason.

“Some?” Grace had a flash of doubt in her eyes.

Jason smiled and answered her doubts, “Do you think. Evelyn doesn’t offend people regularly? A vile person like her suddenly became Brian’s girlfriend. How could she be content? She probably doesn’t know how many people she has offended.”

Grace thought about it. It seemed to be true.

There were probably many people who wanted to throw stones at the person who had fallen down a well. Nevertheless, Grace did not sympathize with Evelyn.

She was not the Holy Mother who would sympathize with someone who was bent on causing her trouble.

“Why won’t you let me announce that you’re my girlfriend?” asked Jason; he had planned to go public about their relationship as a couple. He did not like people mistaking that she had something going on with Brian..

Nevertheless, Grace stopped him. “I don’t want to make a big deal out of it, and I don’t want to be on the news.” She was not trying to hide the fact that they were dating anyway.

Besides, in the circle in which they lived, many people already knew about their relationship.

However, once it was announced online, she would be in the news. A bunch of people would probably come to the small restaurant to see her then. Additionally, she would be surrounded by people whenever she delivered food.

Moreover, because of her imprisonment, she would suffer even more criticism, especially since the victim was Jennifer Atkinson, Jason’s ex fiancee.

She could be indifferent to the criticism against her, but she could not be indifferent to the criticism against him.

Before she had reversed the case, people would probably harbor all kinds of malicious speculations about their relationship.

Jason said thoughtfully, “I’ll protect you. If you don’t want to be on the news, then I’ll ask all the media groups in Emerald City. not to bother you.”

“I’m not afraid, Jay. I know that since we’re dating, the public. will come to find out about us one day,” said Grace. After all, he was Jason, he was the famous Young Master Reed of Emerald City. “My case can’t be hidden. They can find out about it through the court, the police, and the prison system. If it is made public, it will not only impact us but also the Reed. family. After all… In terms of the judge’s ruling, the person I ‘killed’ was Jennifer Atkinson.”

“I don’t care,” Jason said. Gossip was a fearful thing, but it would not affect people like him.

He was even strong enough to control the so-called “gossip”.

“But I do,” said Grace. Before this, she had wanted to reverse the case to clear her name and find the real culprit who had the intention of harming her.

However, more than anything else, she now wanted to reverse the case in hopes that there were no misunderstandings, sore points, and nothing to be maliciously speculated about between them.

She wanted to be with him in a clean way, untainted by her criminal record.

Jason’s eyelashes quivered a little as he lowered his eyes slightly and hugged Grace. “I’ll reverse the case for you. You don’t have to worry about anything. It won’t be long before no one will be able to use the case to criticize you anymore.”

He would clear her name for her, even if… it was more than 3

years too late.

Grace was stunned. “It won’t be too long? Is there something new to the case?”

“Yes, there is something but more evidence needs to be gathered. Don’t worry, it’ll be settled soon,” said Jason.

Grace’s face lit up. “Thank you, Jay.”

It was as if his heart had been stung by her thanks. Did she know that he was one of the worst people she could thank?

He only hoped that she would never know about it. The reason being, if she knew, the price would probably be too great for him!

The next day, news of Evelyn having broken up with Brian quickly became a trending search topic. It has to be said that online comments suggesting that Grace had stepped in to cause the break up were quickly deleted each time they were posted.

With that, Grace was completely left out of the matter.

Since Brian had so many ex-girlfriends, it was no surprise to the public that “another girlfriend had been dumped”. Many even said that they knew Evelyn would be dumped. After all, those female celebrities who were more popular, more beautiful, and more educated than her, had been unable to escape being dumped.

Compared with Brian’s ex-girlfriends, Evelyn had little to merit.

Many people had therefore speculated that Evelyn’s future. status in the entertainment industry was probably going to take a dive. People had previously flattered her because she was Brian’s girlfriend, but now she was at best an “ex-girlfriend”.

In Evelyn’s private apartment, Tony Cummins and Melinda

Riley looked worriedly at their daughter. They had learned from their neighbors that their daughter had broken up with.Brian.

One of the neighbors had said in a tone of amusement, “Don’t worry too much about it, the entertainment industry’s crown prince has always dated one girl after another. Evelyn is lucky to have dated him. Otherwise, Evelyn would still be playing a small role now. How could she have become the female lead and star in commercials?”

They were both furious when they heard that. Additionally, when they walked out of the neighborhood, they were constantly pointed at by the other neighbors.

They had once strutted around the neighborhood, telling everyone that their daughter was Brian’s girlfriend and that Brian had given their daughter a lot of expensive jewelry, designer clothes, and bags. Naturally, they had also bragged that she would marry into a rich family someday.
