Chapter 365 – The Scarlet Vengeance: Justice of a Framed Beauty Novel (Grace & Jason)

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

Am I panicking because I’ve done so many things in secret but still couldn’t break the bond between her and Brian?

‘Or am I panicking at the thought that

Brian will always be in her heart? Even if she has forgotten about him, what if she remembers him someday…

‘Or perhaps I’m panicking that her love for me is not as deep or much, so I’m scared that she’d betray me one day?’

“Young Master Reed, you don’t look too well. Why don’t you take a rest?” said Terrence who was on the side. Young Master Reed’s face was unusually pale right now.

Jason shook his head. “No thanks. It’s getting dark. Keep looking!”

The longer the delay, the more he worried!

There were more and more trees in the forest. It was the height of summer, and the leaves were luxuriant, overlapping with one another and even blocking out much of the light.

“Wait, there seems to be a noise ahead.

It sounds like footsteps!” shouted one of the search party members at the front.

All of a sudden, everyone stopped in their tracks.

Step by step, the footsteps were steady and strong.

Then, a figure slowly walked into everyone’s sight.

It was a man walking with a woman on his back.

Jason’s pupils constricted immediately, and he felt as if his blood had suddenly frozen.

‘It’s… Brian and Grace!

‘Did my worst fears happen anyway? It’s as if the characters in the painting I saw have their roles reversed.’

The woman was lying on the man’s back, her head buried low. He was unable to see the expression on her face while the man was walking forward step by step…

Suddenly, Brian stopped walking and looked this way. His phoenix eyes froze a little when he saw the search party with search and rescue gears.

Then, his phoenix eyes looked past the men in front of him and looked at the tall figure standing among them.

His deep phoenix eyes met a pair of dark peach blossom eyes. Brian looked directly at Jason. He did not expect to meet him here today. What… A bustling scene!

“What’s the matter?” Grace had been feeling a bit groggy because her head still hurt a little after her headache. She could not help asking after sensing that Brian had stopped. Then, she looked up.

Grace caught sight of the tall figure, and she said immediately in surprise, “Jay…Jay!”

‘Why is Jason here? What’s with all these people?’

‘Yes, he must be here to look for me. I’ve spent a good deal of time on the hill, so he must’ve been worried.

Grace subconsciously wanted to run to

Jason’s side. However, she was still being carried by Brian, so she immediately said to him, “Let… Let me down first.”

“Going over to Jason?” Brian’s cold voice rang.

“Yes,” she gave a definite answer.

“Grace, once I put you down, I’ll be indifferent to whatever happens to you from now on. You’ll only be a stranger to me, and you must stop calling the name ‘Bryn’. It’s not something you can call.”

What Brian said was like a warning, but it was also like a goodbye.

Grace suddenly found her nose a little sore, and it was as if something was pressing on her heart. It was somewhat depressing.

‘Is it because… I lied to him? Or is it because we were partners who once went through thick and thin together and are eventually becoming strangers now?’

“Got it, Mr. Hart,” muttered Grace.

They spoke so softly that only they could hear each other.

Then, Brian bent his knees and crouched down to let Grace down. The scene secretly amazed Terrence who was standing next to Jason.

‘When has the crown prince of the entertainment industry carried a woman on his back like that?

‘If those entertainment reporters were here right now, they’d probably be so shocked that they’d be at a loss!

‘However… Terrence looked anxiously at his boss who was beside him. Young

Master Reed was calmer than he thought.

He just stared at them with his back straight.

However, the calmer he was, the more

Terrence feared. It was as if a danger was coming and something was going to happen.

Grace got off Brian’s back and was about to walk toward Jason when Brian suddenly grabbed her wrist. She could not help but stop in her tracks and turn to look at him strangely.

“Luckily, you’re not,” he said out of nowhere, and before she knew it, he let go again.

She stared blankly at him, and after a moment, her eyes fell on the wrist he had just grasped.

When she fell off the cliff, he had grabbed her wrist and pulled her with up all his might.

If Brian was not there today, she might be groaning at the bottom of the cliff right now.

“Brian…” She took a deep breath, and this time, instead of calling him Mr. Hart, she called his full name. “Thank you!”

With that, she smiled a little and then turned to walk toward Jason.

It… Was to show her gratitude and also say goodbye.

She thanked him for finding her for so many years for a promise they had made and for saving her in such a dangerous time.

Brian stared at Grace’s back as she walked toward another man.

For a moment, he felt a little relieved. ‘Luckily, she’s not the one I’m looking for. Otherwise, I might not have been able to let go just now.’

Maybe even though he knew that she loved Jason and that going against a man like Jason would be hard to deal with, he would hold on to her and keep her by his side. Even if it meant involving the entire Hart familyHart family in this fight.

‘Therefore, luckily she’s not… She’s not…

His heart seemed to be aching again.

Brian pursed his thin lips tightly. ‘From now on, I’ll wipe this woman from my heart once and for all! I’ll leave no trace behind!’

Grace walked up to Jason, only to find him strangely quiet. His beautiful peach blossom eyes were now as dark as the deep sea, giving out a lonely vibe.

‘Is… he angry? Is it because he saw me with Brian? Or is it because I had spent too much time on the hill and made him worry?’

However, there were so many people here, so she could not explain herself right now. She could only think of explaining it to him when they were alone.

“I’m sorry I worried you! I was going to call you, but… I accidentally broke my phone and couldn’t contact you,” she said.

Not only did her phone break, but also

Brian’s phone. Its screen cracked when he was saving her life.

Both were unable to make calls on their phones, so they were unable to communicate with the outside world.

“Is that so?” He lowered his head, raised his hand, and gently pushed some of the tousled hair around her cheek behind her ear. “It’s getting late. Let’s go back.”

As he spoke, he looked at her long black dress that was quite soiled, making it seem dusty. Then, he suddenly bent over, carried her in his arms, and walked down the hill.

“Jason, I… I can walk by myself. I don’t need to be carried,” Grace said quickly.

After all, he would be tired carrying her down the hill like this.

He hung his head low, yet his eyes were not as gentle as usual. They were dark like the thick night. “Brian can carry you on his back but I can’t carry you down the hill?”
