Pathetic and ridiculous-that was her comment on that relationship.

Now, she just wanted Nelson to grow up well.

Jason lowered his head to look at the corner of Grace’s mouth. that was injured from the slap. He saw that her cheek was swollen as well. There was a trace of blood trickling down the corner of her mouth. The sight stung his eyes.

Frowning, his fingertip gently brushed across her wound.

“Who did this?”

“Why are you here?” she asked without answering.

“I just finished some business and happened to pa** by, so I thought I’d come and see you.” It was a good thing he had come to see her. If he had not come, she would have been bullied by her father and stepmother just like that. “Who hit you just now?” He repeated his question.

“My stepmother,” said Grace. It looked like he would not stop until he got an answer. “I’ve slapped her back.”

Jason glanced lazily at Melinda Riley.

Melinda Riley felt a chill rising in her stomach. There was a sudden surge of fear in her heart. “What do you want? So what if… If I hit her? She can have her wounds examined and I’ll pay for her medical expenses…”

Jason slowly walked up to Melinda Riley and gave her a sharp slap with a thunderous wave of his hand.

Melinda Riley was knocked to the ground. A tooth was knocked out of her mouth with blood spurting everywhere.

“Hit… Hit me. You… You hit me…” Melinda Riley cried out in pain.

Jason looked down at her coldly and said, “So what if I hit you? You can have the wounds examined and I’ll pay for the medical expenses.”

He was handing Melinda Riley’s words right back to her.

The only problem was who would dare to ask Jason to compensate for their medical expenses?

After a while, the police arrived. They all went to the police station.

Grace did not get into much trouble as Jason had called his lawyer to the police station. The lawyer hired by the Reed family was naturally a famous barrister in Emerald City.

Tony Cummins and Melinda Riley were placed under administrative detention for five days for causing a disturbance.

・・

Once they heard they were getting detained, the couple immediately cried and screamed. However, this time, they dared not scold Grace again.

Jason took Grace out of the police station and got into the car. He looked at the wound on her face with distress. “It seems that I should send someone to protect you at all times, lest you get hurt again by accident.”

Grace immediately said, “No, I only earn 4,000 dollars a month. How much do you pay the bodyguard a month for protecting me?”

The bodyguard’s salary was several times hers!

“How about coming to work for me?” he asked. It would be easier for him to look after her.

She hesitated and said, “I’m actually quite happy at the small restaurant, and…” She paused and said very seriously, “I want to work on my own, Jay. If I were to work at your company,

I won’t have to do anything if everyone knows I’m your girlfriend. I’ll just sit there and get paid every month.”

“Isn’t that great?” he asked.

“I want to see how far I can go on my own. I don’t expect to spend my whole life delivering food. I’m also looking at some. research materials in private, hoping it’ll help me in my future career,” said Grace.

She had begun planning for her future career.

Jason raised his eyebrows slightly as he heard this. Then, he raised his hand and stroked her swollen cheek.

She gasped in slight pain.

He said, “Apply some medicine when you get back. Also, didn’t I tell you to call me if there are any problems? Why didn’t you call me?”

God knew what would have happened if he had not decided.

to drop by.

She replied somewhat awkwardly, “Uh… I forgot…” After all, it all happened so suddenly. She was in a confrontation with her father and stepmother. At that moment, she forgot to call him.

His eyes flickered slightly. ‘Does this mean that in her heart, I’m still not the first person she wants to rely on when she’s in trouble?’

“You must remember to ask me for help if you get into any trouble in the future. Don’t you forget it again!” said Jason.

“Oh, got it!” she replied, feeling a surge of warmth in her heart. “By the way, you didn’t need to slap my stepmother a second time. You’ll get into trouble if she tries to sue you.”

“Then let her sue me,” Jason said without a care in the world. He wanted people to understand that if they want to touch her, they should be prepared for him to touch them.

“Why did your father and stepmother bother you today?” asked Jason.

“Maybe they think I have something to do with Evelyn and Brian’s breakup.” Grace found it ridiculous as she spoke of it. “Or maybe they just want to find a scapegoat to blow off some steam and make them feel that Evelyn’s break up with Brian isn’t Evelyn’s problem but someone else’s.”

“Is that so?” Jason’s eyes darkened a little. “Don’t they know whose girlfriend you are?”

“I think they should know by now,” replied Grace.

Back at Reed Residence, Jason took out the first-aid kit and applied the medicine for Grace. “Do you want me to deal with your father and stepmother?” he asked.

Had one of them not been her biological father, he would not have asked this. He would have just left those two homeless and helpless in Emerald City.

“Forget it. There’s no need for that. I think they dare not bother me anymore after today,” said Grace, yawning.

She was exhausted after today’s commotion. She was already sleepy when it was only eight o ‘clock in the evening.

“You should turn in early,” said Jason.

“Yes.” Grace nodded and lied on the bed, falling asleep in the blink of an eye.

Jason sat on the bedside, staring deeply at the sleeping face of the person before him. After a moment, he stood up, went downstairs, and made a call. “Where are you? I want to see you now.””

Brian was making tea alone in the huge private room of a club owned by the Hart family. The wall on one side was made from special gla** that was transparent from the inside, but when one looked from the outside, it was opaque.

Through this gla** wall, one could see the hubbub in the center of the hall outside. There were singing and dancing performances by various resident singers.

Compared with the noise outside, the private room was strangely quiet.

Brian poured himself a cup of tea, sipped on it, and stared coldly at the uproar outside that was alien to him.

The door was pushed open, and the sound of footsteps rang in the private room.

Brian turned his head slightly and looked at the visitor. “You’re here. Would you like a cup of tea?”

“No thanks.” Jason walked to a chair opposite Brian and sat down. “I came to tell you a few simple words. I’ll leave right after.”

Brian raised his eyebrows slightly. “Really? What do you want to tell me?”

“It’s your business to break up with Evelyn, but don’t get Grace. involved. I have limited patience and won’t let Grace be

Brian’s eyes glinted. “What do you mean?”

“Today, Evelyn’s parents went to Grace and said you broke up with Evelyn because of Grace. Is the reason Evelyn’s parents think so because of Evelyn or you?” said Jason.

Brian gently twirled the teacup in his hands. The fragrance.

of tea diffused through his nose along with the heat and gradually filled the whole room. “Does it matter?”
