Filed To Story: The Scarlet Vengeance: Justice of a Framed Beauty Novel (Grace & Jason)

Compared to her, who had only beautiful memories here, his memories didn’t seem to be so beautiful.

Brian Hart finished his ice cream bite by bite, his gaze falling on her. “Valda Theller, if we have children in the future, can we bring them here together? Like these parents, queuing with their children, swiping their cards to buy tickets, and fighting for positions together, I will try to be a good father.”

In response to his pitch-black phoenix eyes, she couldn’t help but reply. “Okay.”

After they finished strolling around the amusement park, Brian Hart drove Valda Theller back to the villa. “You can pack your things, and have someone send you back to your apartment,” he said.

After saying this, Brian Hart didn’t get out of the car. He simply drove away after Valda Theller got out of the car. He was afraid that if he stayed, he would regret letting her leave and would break his promise to keep her here by his side.

It wasn’t until his car disappeared from her sight that Valda Theller turned around and walked back into the house to start packing her things. One by one, her belongings were packed into her suitcase, and her presence in the villa diminished.

After she finished packing, someone came up to her and respectfully said, “Miss Theller, hello. Mrs. Hart asked me to send you home. Shall I help you with your luggage?”

“Thank you,” Valda Theller politely replied.

As she left, she couldn’t help but turn around and take one last look at the villa. Perhaps she would never come back here again.

When Valda Theller returned to her apartment, she felt as if she had been transported to another world. Although she had only stayed at Brian Hart’s villa for less than two weeks, it felt like a long time had passed.

The next day, when Camille Strickland found out that Valda Theller had returned to her apartment, she came over and asked, “You’re finally back. So, what’s going on between you and Brian Hart? Have you made up?”

“No, we broke up,” Valda Theller said.

“Really?”

“Do you think there’s such a thing as a fake breakup? We’re not playing house,” Valda Theller replied.

Camille Strickland sighed, “It’s just a shame. After all, that’s Brian Hart. How many women in the entertainment industry would love to have him? And he was good to you, wasn’t he?”

“He was good to me, but our feelings for each other were not strong enough to continue dating. These days, let’s just consider it a dream. When the dream is over, we’ll just have to figure out how to live our lives,” Valda Theller said with a bitter smile.

“Okay, let’s just live our lives,” Camille Strickland said, looking at her friend’s despondent face. She knew that her friend was not as carefree as she appeared on the surface.

But when it came to matters of the heart, it was not easy for outsiders to intervene. All she could do was silently support her friend.

“By the way, your manga adaptation will be finished next week, and the production team will invite you to the wrap party. Are you going?” Camille Strickland asked.

After all, her friend had some unpleasant experiences on the set, and Raymond Bowman was one of the sponsors of the production.

On the day of the wrap party, Raymond Bowman might even show up.

“I’ll go,” Valda Theller smiled. “It’s my first manga adaptation wrap party. If I miss it, it won’t be justifiable.”

“Okay, we’ll go together,” Camille Strickland said.

After her friend left, Valda Theller’s smile gradually faded. She slapped her cheeks hard and told herself that from today on, she had to pick herself up and become the independent and strong Valda Theller she used to be.

Her reliance on Brian Hart had come to an end. From now on, she had to become the Valda Theller who didn’t rely on anyone.

Chapter In the following days, Valda Theller lived a monotonous life, shuttling between her home and studio.

Her two assistants were well aware of the attack she had suffered at the convention, so they kept their heads down and focused on their work, not daring to say much.

One day, while Valda Theller was working on sketches with her assistants, Rowena Santiago arrived at the studio.

At the sight of Valda Theller, Rowena Santiago knelt down in front of her with a thud.

She said, “Valda Theller, I know my family has wronged you, but please spare them for the sake of your uncle and cousin who am related to you by blood. They are now in police custody Please ask the police to release them. We won’t ask you for money again in the future?”

Valda Theller took a few steps back and looked cokly at the person in front of her. “I don’t run the police station. I can’t pat ask them to release people.”

“But you can ask Mr. Hart Rowena Santiago said. “With Mr. Hart’s ability, he can definitely get the police to release them immediately Besides if it weren’t for Mr. Hart, they wouldn’t have been arrested by the police. Now the police are going to prosecute them. If your cousin realy goes to jail, his life will be ruined! Valda Theller, are you going to watch your cousin’s life be ruined?”

“When my cousin caused trouble at the convention, did you ever think that my life might also be ruined? You just stood by and watched,” Valda Theller replied indifferently.

Although Rowena Santiago was crying miserably, Valda Theller had no sympathy for her. Her last bit of family affection had been completely erased during the convention.

“What do you want from me? I have already apologized to you and even knelt down. Are you still not willing to spare your uncle and cousin?” Rowena Santago was clearly dissatisfied with Valda Theller’s attitude.

She had always been arrogant in front of Valda Theller. If it weren’t for her husband and son being detained, she wouldn’t have come to beg Valda Theller Eke this.

In her opinion, Valda Theller should have agreed to spare them after she had done all this. “I didn’t ask you to apologize to me, let alone kneel down,” Valda Theller said calmly.

“You…” Rowena Santiago’s face changed. The look of hesitation and sorrow on her face turned into anger, and she stood up suddenly. “Valda Theller, you’re just using Brian Hart as your backer. If your cousin is really sentenced, I won’t live anymore. I’ll tell everyone that you’re the one who killed me. I doubt you’ll have any face left then!”

Valda Theller took a deep breath. “If you want to die, I won’t stop you. As for whether I have any face left, that’s my business. You can watch carefully from underground when the time comes.”

Rowena Santiago was speechless after being told this. Her niece was now unyielding “If you don’t leave now, I’ll call the security guards in the building, or even call the police. I think you’ll be more embarrassed than me then,”

Valda Theller said.

Rowena Santiago’s face turned pale as she glared at Valda Theller with resentment. “Let’s wait and see,” she said, before leaving with a look of bittemess.

Valda Theller turned her head and saw two assistants curiously looking in their direction. “Alright, let’s get back to work,” Valda Theller said.

One of the assistants asked, “Valda Theller, your great-aunt doesn’t seem like the type to give up easily. Shouldn’t you prepare for something?”

The other assistant said, “Don’t worry, Valda Theller’s boyfriend is Mr. Hart, a wealthy man. Even if her great-aunt doesn’t want to give up, what else can she do?”

Valda Theller pursed her lips. “That’s enough. Don’t say anything about Brian Hart being my boyfriend anymore. We’ve already broken up.”

“Broken up? Valda Theller, is it true?” the two assistants exclaimed in shock.

“It’s true. Now, let’s continue with the painting. If we can’t finish it today, both of you will have to stay overtime,” Valda Theller said.

The two assistants looked at each other and quickly returned to their workstations to continue painting. Valda Theller sat back in her chair and although she didn’t know what her great-aunt would do next, she had no intention of compromising.

As Rowena Santiago left the building, she spat towards it with resentment, planning to find another way to force Valda Theller to agree to her demands.

Just as she turned around, a car suddenly pulled up beside her and dragged her into the vehicle.

“Who are you? What do you want?” Rowena Santiago exclaimed in fear.

But no one in the car paid any attention to her.

Half an hour later, when Rowena Santiago saw Brian Hart, she trembled with fear and finally knew who had taken her.

“You’re here to see Valda Theller,” Brian Hart said coldly “I…I just came to see Valda Theller. I hope she can ask you to spare my husband and son. I…I didn’t do anything to Valda Theller, I just…just said a few words,” Rowena Santiago said tremblingly.

Brian Hart’s eyes turned cold. “If you had really done something, do you think you could still stand here and talk to me?”

Rowena Santiago broke out in a cold sweat.

“If Valda Theller doesn’t want to see you again, you can’t appear in front of her again. The same goes for your husband and son. No matter how many years pass, if you dare to cause her any trouble again, the price you pay will be more than just imprisonment,” Brian Hart said in a calm but chilling tone. Rowena Santiago was filled with fear and regretted ever causing trouble for Valda Theller. She promised to never appear in front of her again, and neither would her husband and son.

Brian Hart glanced at Rowena Santiago coldly before waving his hand. His men took her away, leaving the room in silence.

Brian Hart leaned heavily against the back of his chair and muttered to himself, “Valda Theller, what should I do? I regret letting you go again…” He regretted letting her go and not giving her more time.

He was certain that he would never fall in love with her. But in just a few days, he found himself missing her more and more. She had become so important to him that he would spend entire nights staring at the bed she had once slept in.

“Why won’t you give me more time? Why are you so sure that I won’t fall in love with you?” he whispered, his voice filled with loneliness.

Two assistants left the studio after work, but Valda Theller remained hunched over her work table, continuing to draw A faint pain in her stomach made her feel uncomfortable. Valda Theller stood up, made herself a cup of hot tea, and continued working Now, only work could make her forget the various troubles of reality and immerse herself in the beauty of drawing She worked until her stomach growled, and then she looked up again. It was already after 8 pm.

Valda Theller then tidied up her things, picked up her bag, and left the studio.

As she entered the elevator, she furrowed her brow slightly. Her stomach seemed to be hurting again.

Could it be that she was going to have diarrhea?

She placed her hand on her stomach and gently rubbed it.

As she walked towards the nearby subway station, she did not notice that there were a pair of eyes staring at her from a distance.

Upon entering the subway station, Valda Theller went to the ticket machine to buy a ticket.

Her stomach seemed to be hurting more. Her left hand covered her abdomen, and her body instinctively bent over. Her right hand touched the screen to select her destination, and then she planned to take out her phone to pay. However, when she took out her phone from her bag, the pain caused her hand to tremble, and the phone fell from her hand.

“Ah!” she exclaimed, but the phone did not fall to the ground. Instead, a beautiful hand caught it.

It was Brian Hart’s hand.

Even without looking up at his face, Valda Theller could recognize him just by his hand. After all, she had drawn his hand many times and was very familiar with the shape of his fingers and bones.

The hand handed the phone to her. “What’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?” His worried voice sounded in her ear.

“Thank you…” she replied with some difficulty, taking back her phone. She was about to use the scan code to pay for the subway ticket, but he had already grabbed her arm.

“Don’t take the subway. I’ll drive you home. My car is parked outside.”

“No…it’s okay. The subway is very convenient, and it’s not crowded….” she said, trying to break free from his grip. However, her body seemed to have no strength, and her stomach was getting more and more painful.

“You really don’t look good right now. I’ll take you home!” he insisted. “Don’t be stubborn. Even if you really want to break up with me and draw a clear line, don’t let your body suffer.”

“I really don’t…” Before she could finish her sentence, a sudden stabbing pain in her abdomen made her cry out in pain.

—

Brian Hart furrowed his brow, his worry becoming mom pronounced as he witnessed Valda Theller’s face rapidly turning pale and her body trembling slightly.

“Do you still want to take the subway back by yourself like this?” he asked, not unkindly, as he suddenly bent down and lifted Valda Theller up in his arms.

“Don’t…” she protested weakly, but it was no use. He had already picked her up and was walking towards the subway exit.

Many people on the subway turned their heads to look at them, making Valda Theller feel uneasy. If she struggled now, it would only attract more attention. So she buried her head in Brian Hart’s arms like an ostrich. ‹

Brian Hart looked down at the person in his arms. She had become docile and gentle, no longer resisting being held by him, as if they had gone back to the way things used to be. If he could, he would have liked to hold her like this forever. But the memory of her pale face just now made him quicken his pace.

In just two or three minutes, he had already carried her to his parked car. Opening the door, he placed her in the passenger seat.

At this point, not only was her face pale, but there was also a thin layer of sweat on her forehead.

“I’ll take you to the hospital. You don’t look well,” Brian Hart said, taking out a tissue and gently wiping the sweat from her forehead.

Valda Theller’s body stiffened. His gentle actions made her feel complicated emotions. “It’s okay… I just have a slight stomach ache. You can just take me home,” she said.

“Even if you’re like this, you still don’t want to go to the hospital? Besides, stomach pain can be serious or not,” he said, leaning over to fasten her seatbelt before closing the passenger door and returning to the driver’s seat.

Brian Hart started the car and drove towards the hospital. Valda Theller placed her hand on her stomach, closed her eyes, and tightly pursed her lips, trying to suppress the pain.

After an unknown amount of time, she felt the car stop and heard the sound of the door opening. She slowly opened her eyes and saw that they were already in the hospital parking lot. Brian Hart had carried her out of the car.

“I can walk by myself,” Valda Theller said.

“Okay, don’t talk. It’s faster if I carry you,” Brian Hart said.

Because it was already evening, Brian Hart carried Valda Theller directly to the emergency room. They quickly registered and waited in the outpatient waiting area.

Fortunately, there were only two patients ahead of them, so they didn’t have to wait long.

“Don’t worry, you can see this doctor first. I’ll call the hospital director and have him find some experts to come and take a look at you later,” he said. Although he told her not to worry, his appearance at the moment seemed to show that he was more worried than she was. Valda Theller was a little stunned. She only had a slight stomach ache. At most, she would just need some medicine. But he made it seem like she was seriously ill.

Especially now, with the worry and nervousness in his eyes, it even gave her the illusion that he cared about her a lot.

Valda Theller, don’t think too much! She reminded herself in her heart. Even if he really cared about her, his feelings were different from what she wanted. The person he really cared about was Grace!

i was Vikla Thelor’s fun, she entered the sultation toom while Brian Hart wated outside. At that moment, he seemed somewha rpalkas, pacing back and forth, speculating sect her stomach acha “Wact that your gather who at work?” someone next to Brown Hart spoko Boucy Hact looked over and saw a middle-aged man who appeared to be in his fifties or sites For a moment, Bran Het didn’t know how to awes “She’s not my girlfiend, she’s my wife, do you even need to ask?” the man’s companion, an elderly woman, chuckled “Look at how worried babs. When you used to worry about me, he looked just like this.”

“Wute my wife, who else would I worry about?” the man replied The woman laughed, her wrinkled face looking so sweet Just then, the door to the consultation room opened and Valda Theller walked out, her face flushed, one hand covering her stomach, and she headed towards the ext “What did the doctor say?” Brian Hart asked ardously.

Valda Theller looked embarrassed and hesitated for a moment before saying, “I need to go buy something. You.. you can sit here for a while “What do you need to buy? Let me go get it for you,” he said urgently. “I can go buy it myself,” she replied, even more embarrassed.

“You can’t go out like this. Where do you need to go? I’ll go for you!” He picked her up and placed her in a nearby chair. His phoenix eyes stared straight at her “What do you need to buy?”

Valda Theller glanced around and saw that the other patients in the waiting area were all looking over at them.

And from the way Brian Hart looked, it was clear that he had no intention of letting her go alone.

She could only blush and say, “Can you lower your head a bit?”

He looked at her with a hint of confusion, but still lowered his head as she wished.

She raised her head slightly and whispered in his ear, “…I got my period, Are you going to go to the hospital’s convenience store and buy me some sanitary pads?”

After saying this, Valda Theller felt like her face was about to bleed.

And after hearing her words, Brian Hart’s face also turned red with embarrassment.

“So I’ll just go buy it myself,” Valda Theller said, intending to get up.

Brian Hart held her shoulder and said, “Sit down, I’ll go” He then quickly left.

Valda Theller stared at Brian Hart’s back in a daze. Was he really going to buy sanitary pads for her?

Just then, the couple who had chatted with Brian Hart earlier and sat next to Valda Theller smiled at her.

“Is he your boyfriend or husband? When you went in just now, he was so worried, pacing back and forth,” the woman asked. The man chimed in, “He must really love you. Sometimes, it takes adversity to reveal true feelings. He must love you very much.”

Love? Valda Theller bit her lip and said, “We’re just ordinary friends.” In fact, they weren’t even friends anymore.

“Just friends? That’s impossible,” the couple clearly didn’t believe her.

The woman said, “Young lady, if you’re afraid of being just friends with someone, you might regret it in the future. You might miss out on a man who is so good to you and cares about you so much. And I can see that he’s handsome too. There are probably countless women outside who would want to pursue him.”
