Stella kept on pretending.
“Why don’t we talk about what happened during our childhood…”
Stella’s expression immediately changed when Grace said this. She knew Grace was referring to Brian’s rescue from back then.
She was not sure who Brian would believe if Grace told him this!
“We didn’t get along when we were kids, but that doesn’t mean I don’t care about you.
We’re relatives, after all,” muttered
Stella as she stammered a little.
“Really? Relatives?” Jason’s voice rang sarcastically as he looked coldly at
Stella.
Stella could not help but wince a little, feeling as if he had seen through her. Subconsciously, she could not help but hide behind Brian.
Brian frowned and said to Jason, “Lifang is only concerned about her cousin. Why do you have to frighten her?”
Jason looked coldly at Brian, “You and I both know she’s not.”
Brian was silent. ‘Yes, he has met all kinds of people. Of course, he can see that Stella doesn’t care about Grace at all.’
However… Lifang was the one he had been looking for. She was his savior, and it was natural for him to defend Lifang on such occasions.
“I won’t let you lay a hand on her,” said
Brian.
“I’ll tell you the same thing,” said Jason.
However, what they meant was different.
Brian would not allow Jason to vent his anger on Stella and hurt her, while Jason would not allow Brian to give a go at Grace and occupy her heart.
The two men looked at each other.
Stella was secretly delighted. ‘Is Brian… protecting me?
‘So I do occupy a place in Brian’s heart after all!’ Stella gave Grace a defiant look of triumph as she thought of this.
‘So what if Grace is the one who actually saved Brian’s life? I’m the one Brian cares about now! Me, Stella!’
Grace only found the defiant look in her cousin’s eyes extremely amusing.
It turned out that sometimes a cuckoo that took over a magpie’s nest would actually think it was a magpie. However, looking at the way things had already turned out, she did not want to talk about it anymore.
She had made the decision not to tell him, so she did not have anything to regret now.
“I think I’d better call it a day,” Grace said to Jason.
“Alright.” Jason smiled gently. He had achieved his purpose today anyway.
The only reason he brought her here today was to let the others see her by his side so that the upper-cla** circle knows that she was still his woman. That way, no one would dare lay a finger on her!
Also… he wanted to let Brian know that she was back with him and stop him from thinking about her!
Jason prepared to walk toward the banquet’s exit with Grace.
However, before they even took two steps, Brian suddenly grabbed Grace’s wrist and stopped her.
“Why be with him when you don’t love him anymore?” “Brian asked, staring at
Grace as if he needed to get an answer from her today.
“That’s my business! You don’t seem to be in a position to ask, Mr. Hart,” said
Grace as she tried to pull her hand away.
However, Brian did not let go. His phoenix eyes continued to stare seriously at her.
Jason looked back at Brian and smiled suddenly. With everyone watching, he put his arm around Grace’s waist. “Brian, do you have to embarra** everyone? Grace was with me and is still with me. Is there a problem with that?”
Brian’s face paled.
Grace stiffened, but instead of resisting
Jason’s sudden embrace, she looked at
Brian before saying, “It’s my business who I want to be with, Mr. Hart.”
This time, she pulled her hand smoothly out of his fingers.
Seeing Grace and Jason leaving, Brian felt an emptiness in his hand that extended to his heart. It was as if he was losing something very important…
“Brian…” Stella tugged at Brian’s arm, not liking the way he looked at Grace’s back.
What had been delight earlier now turned to jealousy.
‘Why does Brian care so much about Grace when in his mind, I’m the girl who saved his life when he was a child?’
“Didn’t you say you would introduce me to some people and help me make more connections?” grumbled Stella.
Brian then looked at Stella who was next to him. “I’m a little tired today. I’ll ask someone to take you to meet some producers and directors later.”
Stella was unwilling! It would only show how much Brian valued her if he took her to meet those people himself! Others would also think more highly of her that way.
If it were someone else, then it would belittle her status.
“But…” Stella seemed reluctant.
However, Brian had already summoned an entertainment industry veteran who was also at the banquet today and asked him to take Stella to meet some people.
No matter how reluctant Stella was, she could only leave with the veteran.
Brian took a gla** of wine from a tray held by a waiter and began to drink.
‘Jason can’t get over Grace after all.
Jason and Grace are back together… But why do I feel so uncomfortable at the thought of it?’
Just now when Jason was holding Grace, he even felt jealous and had the impulse to tear them apart…
“What came over you just now?” A voice rang in Brian’s ear.
Brian looked up. It was Patrick, a friend he had known since childhood.
“You’re here too,” said Brian.
My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict!
‘Jason and Grace are back together… But why do I feel so uncomfortable at the thought of it?’
Just now when Jason was holding Grace, he even felt jealous and had the impulse to tear them apart…
“What came over you just now?” A voice rang in Brian’s ear.
Brian looked up. It was Patrick, a friend he had known since childhood.
“You’re here too,” said Brian.
“Yes, I wanted to come over to say hello when I saw you and Jason together, but it didn’t take long for me to realize that something wasn’t right,” said Patrick.
Therefore, he held back for a while, fearing that his presence would make things worse. He stood on the side, watching the situation as it unfolded.
He was about to rush forward when
Brian suddenly grabbed Grace’s hand, fearing that the two men might fight. Luckily, nothing happened, so only now did he approach Brian.
“You know how much Jason cares about Grace. He even looked like he was going to kill someone last time, so why would you meddle in this? Is there a woman you can’t find in the entertainment industry?”
said Patrick.
Many beautiful women in the entertainment industry wanted to get into the crown prince’s pants.
“She’s different.” Brian took another sip of wine.
“What’s the difference?” asked Patrick.
Speaking of which, he did not think Grace was stunningly beautiful. She just looked pleasant at most. However, both Jason and Brian had fallen for her, making Patrick confused.
Brian said nothing and only took another apre gla** of red wine from a pa**ing waiter before downing the contents.
