His cold voice escaped his mouth and made her choke. She did not know what to say all of a sudden.

He looked away from her face and continued to carry her down the hill.

Even though the way he held her was gentle and even though it was a summer evening where a warm breeze was blowing past their bodies, she felt somewhat cold.

It was as if there was a chill all over him, and she was being eroded by it…

Grace bit her lip a little. Jason felt somewhat strange to her at this moment.

‘He must have misunderstood something. It should be all right once I explain it to him later’. She could only comfort herself in this way.

Once they had reached the foot of the hill, Grace discovered that there were troops of police and quite a few police cars there. There were even roadblocks down the hill.

With such a spectacle, people who did not know probably thought they were catching an important suspect!

Jason took Grace in his arms and got into a car that was waiting at the side. The car left the foot of the hill immediately, and Jason did not say a word.

The atmosphere in the car seemed depressing for a moment.

Terrence, sitting in the pa**enger’s seat, tried to revive the mood by jokingly saying, “Miss Cummins, you mustn’t be out of touch next time. Young Master Reed had put the hills on lockdown just to find you.”

‘Put the hills on lockdown?’

Grace almost choked herself. ‘That’s just too much.’

“Jason, I’m sorry I made you worry,’

Grace said sheepishly.

“Sorry?” He laughed in anger. What she did to him was more than worry him.

Did she know how panicked he was when Brian appeared in front of him with her on his back? It was as if his feet could hardly support his weight to keep standing.

Did she know how he felt when she was whispering to Brian?

When Brian put her down, she thanked Brian and smiled at him, and what his father once said to him rang in his ear. “Jason, if one day your joys and sorrows are all in the hands of another person, then your life will be so hard… Very hard…”

‘Hard?’

‘It’s pretty hard.’ He felt nothing but bitterness in his mouth. ‘I want to imprison her somewhere only I can go so that she can go nowhere and see no one but me.

‘I want her to smile only at me and not at any other man!’

‘It’s jealousy!’ He was jealous of Brian.

When he saw her and Brian appear in front of his eyes like that, he only felt as if they had their own time and space.

‘It felt as if others couldn’t get in!

‘I… I was one of the others!’

On the other side, Brian was walking down the hill. When he saw the police and barricades that had not been removed, the corners of his mouth could not help raising slightly.

‘It seems Jason does care about Grace.

‘Then again, I’ve known Jason for 20 years, but have I ever seen that guy treat a woman this way?

‘Jennifer Atkinson didn’t even get to enjoy half of Jason’s gentleness!’

“Brian!” A voice rang hurriedly. Stella Lindsay had already rushed to Brian’s side. “Are you alright? I saw that you haven’t returned to the Lu family’s house, and I heard that someone seemed to have got lost here, so I hurriedly came over to have a look!”

In fact, what she was really afraid of was that he would run into Grace. After all,

Grandma’s grave was in this area too!

“I’m fine,” Brian said lightly, looking at the person in front of him.

Stella Lindsay was dressed in a black dress and had on delicate makeup as well as expensive jewelry. If it was not the 49th day after her grandmother’s death today, she would make herself look even more eye-catching.

The way she looked at him right now showed her concern, but it was done in a more ingratiating manner.

Brian had seen many women like this. Many women in the entertainment industry wanted to climb up the social ladder through him.

Those women disguised their intentions better than Stella Lindsay and were smarter than Stella Lindsay!

Stella Lindsay looked around Brian and did not see Grace, so she felt a little more relieved. Then, she said with a shy expression on her face, “Brian, my parents want to invite you to dinner tonight. They want to thank you for helping me so much.”

“No thanks,” Brian said lightly as he rejected her. “It’s getting late and I have to hurry back to Emerald City. Let’s talk about it next time.”

“But…” Stella Lindsay was unwilling to let

Brian leave! She and her parents were going to insinuate to him that she had been thinking of him all these years to increase his affection for her.

“Stella, you’re unlike other women, after all. You saved my life before,” Brian told Stella Lindsay.

‘Huh?’

Stella Lindsay stared blankly at him, wondering why he was mentioning this out of the blue.

“Therefore, I’ll try my best to meet your requirements. You want to live a luxurious life, to be able to hold your head up in front of others, and you even said that you want to enter show business and be a popular celebrity. I can give you these!”

Stella Lindsay’s eyes lit up immediately, and her expression became excited.

When Brian saw the way the person in front of him looked, he felt a sudden disappointment that even he could not describe.

‘Is this the woman I’ve been thinking of all my life?’

“Brian, you’re so nice to me!” Stella Lindsay’s face turned even redder…

because she was excited that the future she had imagined was coming true little by little. She would join the top bra**!

She would let those who had looked down on her kneel at her feet!

However, what Brian said next shattered all her fanciful thoughts, turning her face from red to pale.

What he said was… “However, that’s it. You’re only my savior, nothing else!”

Stella Lindsay immediately felt as if a basin of cold water was poured all over her head. It was as if he was warning her not to dream about it.

Her eyes stared blankly at the pair of charming phoenix eyes in front of her, but there was nothing but calmness and indifference in them.

All of a sudden, her heart went cool.

‘This is Brian, the crown prince of the entertainment industry!

‘If I hadn’t impersonated Grace for saving his life when he was little, this man wouldn’t even look at me.

‘Not to mention talking face to face with me like this!’

After all, she had all these thanks to

Grace!

Brian continued, “Alright, I’ll send you back first before going back to Emerald

City.”

Stella Lindsay followed Brian into the car, clutching her skirt with both hands while suppressing her disappointment, anger, and jealousy.

‘So what… if I only have all this because of Grace? I won’t back down that easily!

‘It wasn’t easy to get to where I am today. I’ll definitely make good use of this life-saving grace to marry into a rich and powerful family!’

The car drove back to Emerald City, and in the car, Jason was silent all the way. However, he had been stroking Grace’s wrist, which Brian had held tightly when she walked away from him after having fallen off the cliff. This wrist was also the one Brian had grabbed tightly when she fell off the cliff.

Hence, the red mark on her wrist was still there. She was fair, so the red mark was all the more obvious against her skin.

His fingers stroked the red mark on her wrist again and again, and she felt that the skin on the red mark was getting hotter and hotter with a slight prickling sensation.

“Does it hurt?” Finally, he opened his thin lips and broke the silence.

“A little,” she said as she bit her lip slightly.

He took her hand and put his lips on the red mark before sticking out the tip of his tongue and licking it.

Grace’s body immediately stiffened as she blushed deeply. ‘What… What is he doing?’
