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

Jason said nothing but drove on with a panic he had never felt before.

He did not know what he was afraid of. Was he afraid of Brian finding out that Grace was the one he was looking for, or was he afraid that Grace would have feelings for Brian?

No, Brian… Could not have figured it out. He had tampered with the evidence just in case.

Grace… It seemed that she really did not remember the events of that year. After investigating the matter, he knew that Grace had fallen ill a few days after Brian was found. She was even sent straight back to Emerald City with a high fever.

It was probably because of the fever that she could not remember some things.

It was just that… Even though he was prepared, why was he still agitated?

It was as if there were exceptions to everything. Some things.

would happen without him knowing it.

Just like the pictures he saw of Brian holding her while crying.

What was she thinking then? Why had she never said anything to him about it?

What was she trying to hide?

“Jason, where the hell are you driving to? I have to go back to the restaurant this afternoon to deliver food,” said Grace.

However, Jason did not seem to be listening as he did not give her any answer.

Grace bit her lip. She then took out her phone and called Kyla Corbyn. “I… I’m a little caught up right now, Kyla. I’m afraid I won’t be able to get back to the restaurant for a while… Yes, it’s all right. I’m sorry…”

When the call was over, Grace suddenly saw an earlier call from Jason in her call history.

The call lasted more than one minute.

However, she did not take the call! Grace had a sudden shock and thought of Brian.

When she was changing her clothes, she did not take her phone and bag into the changing room but left them on the seat next to Brian.

Was that when… Brian took the call?

With that in mind, Jason’s sudden appearance in the shop made sense to Grace.

“Was it Brian who answered your call earlier? I was changing and my phone was outside… I only met Brian by chance today. My clothes got dirty when I was delivering orders…”

“Can you not say anything now, Grace?” His voice suddenly rang in the car, making her stop talking.

She bit her lip. From her point of view, his face was cold and terribly gloomy. He seemed to be gripping the steering wheel with all his might.

A suffocating silence filled the car again.

Did he… Misunderstand that something was going on. between her and Brian? Grace thought to herself. She would have to wait for the car to stop before she could explain to Jay.

When the car finally stopped, Grace found that the car had stopped on the top of Ganyang Mountain which overlooked Emerald City.

Usually, during holidays, many people would drive here to see the scenery. However, at this hour, there was no one around. Except for the chirping of insects and birds, it was quiet.

“Why are we here?” Grace asked in confusion.

Jason pressed his thin lips together and looked straight throught the car window at the view of Emerald City.

His father had brought him here when he was still alive and said. to him, “You know what, Jay? Only when you’re on top can you understand what it feels like to be lonely on top. However, if you’re not on top, then most of the time, you can’t even control your own destiny.”

Therefore, if he wanted to be in control of his destiny, he had to keep climbing to the top!

In the process, whenever he was upset, he would come here and look out at the skyline of Emerald City. He would tell himself that one day, he would be in control of his destiny.

However, how long had he not been here since he took over Reed Group?

Back then, he felt that he was already in complete control of his destiny and would not be pushed around by anyone anymore.

However, today, he drove here again.

Was he really in control of his destiny, or was his fate already in the hands of someone else?

That person could control all his emotions, make him agitated, and even… Make him feel a long-lost fear!

Jason turned his head, his dark eyes staring at Grace who was sitting next to him.

Then, his fingers unbuckled the safety belt as he leaned toward her. His hands were on either side of her seat. “All right, you can.

talk now. Why did you and Brian happen to be in the same shop? Why did he just happen to pick up the phone when I called you?”

His eyes were dark like the deepest ink. No one could see the real. emotion in his eyes.

Grace stared at the face inches before her, took a deep breath, and roughly described what happened when she was delivering food today.

However, she left out the fact that she was being picked on by Andrea Schwartz and only said that her clothes had been. splashed with tea. It just so happened that Brian was there too.

As for why Brian hugged her like that was a surprise to her. She did not expect it at all.

“He mistook me for someone else, and I don’t remember the things he said ever happening to me,” said Grace.

However, Jason’s eyes remain fixed on her. “What if he isn’t mistaking you for someone else?”

“What?” She was stunned and looked at him in confusion.

“If he’s not mistaking you for someone else, will you fall for him?” he asked. The expression on his face was horribly grim. It was as if once she gave the wrong answer, there would be no end to it.

Oh, God. How did she get the idea?

Grace pressed down on the thought that popped into her head. “No, even if he’s not mistaking me for someone else and even if I’m really the one he’s looking for, I won’t fall for him.”

From the beginning, Brian’s constant search for a substitute was not something she appreciated. Besides, she already had Jason.

in her heart!

“Why?” An elegant voice rang in her ear. He was staring at her with his head bent low. His fingers lightly brushed against her lips, rubbing them back and forth. It was like a silent seduction.

Grace suddenly felt thirsty.

Why… Did she have to spell the answer out?

However, he now looked as if he wanted her to answer him.

“Tell me. Why? Tell me why you won’t fall for Brian.” He was pressing her for an answer.

Grace could not help blushing, but she still said it out loud, “Because you’re the one I’ve fallen for. There’s really nothing. between me and Brian, Jay. I don’t want you to misunderstand me.”

Was there really nothing?

His eyes became darker and darker. The photos of Brian holding. her in his arms that were in his email inbox seemed to appear in front of his eyes.

Even… The photo of Brian crying in front of her.

Those photos seemed to mock him in silence. Despite all his efforts, he still could not break the bond between her and Brian.

“Nothing? Have you nothing to hide from me?” he asked in at mutter.

“I’ve made everything clear between me and Brian.” She thought he was asking about the incident today.

“Well then… Grace, how crazy are you about me?” His breath sprayed over her face, and his lips almost clung to hers.

The ambiguity was made all the more apparent by the confined.

space in the car.

Grace’s face went a little redder. How… How was she going to answer that?

“You don’t want me to suffer pain and sorrow?” he asked in a mutter.

She blushed and nodded.

“Will you miss me terribly when you don’t see me?” he continued asking.
