Filed To Story: The Scarlet Vengeance: Justice of a Framed Beauty Novel (Grace & Jason)
She did not tell Kyla Corbyn that Martin
Weiss would have a good chance of winning if he were to fight for custody.
After all, Kyla Corbyn led an unstable life and was an ex-convict while Martin
Weiss was a famous entrepreneur in S city. He did not seem to have any tainted history and was reputable. He could provide the child a good life.
Now, there were also rumors that Martin
Weiss and Paisley Daniels were going to get married.
A normal family was far more advantageous than a single-parent family. All these would put Kyla Corbyn at a disadvantage.
‘What can I do to help Kyla solve her current predicament?’
Grace was worried, and before she knew it, she had reached the door of her rental house.
When she opened the door, she saw
Jason in the house again.
“What are you doing here?” she asked.
He was sitting in a chair with the legal case books she had recently bought in his hands. He looked up at her and asked, “What’s the matter? You don’t want me here, Sis?”
“No. Didn’t you say… you wouldn’t live here for a while and give me some time to get used to it?” she said, biting her lip.
“Yes, that’s why I’m only here to see you.” As he spoke, he closed the book he was holding and walked over to her. “Were you at Kyla Corbyn’s?”
“Yes,” she replied, not surprised at why he was able to guess that she had gone to Kyla Corbyn’s. After all, he had ways of knowing where she was.
“You seem to care about her a lot.” He gave a little groan.
“Kyla helped me a lot,” she said. Perhaps she had seen too much of human nature in prison, so she cherished the warmth that was hard to come by.
“I helped you a lot too. Do you care about me?” he said as he brushed away the hair on her cheek.
She stiffened a little. “There are a lot of people who care about you.”
“What if the concern of thousands of people doesn’t matter as much as yours?” he asked.
She turned her head away uncomfortably, not wanting to meet his eyes. “You think too highly of me. My concern is nothing.”
“When I say your concern matters, then it matters.” All he wanted was her attention!
As he spoke, his finger grabbed her jaw, forcing her to look at him.
He wanted her to care about him. He wanted her to smile at him like she used
He wanted her to see only him.
Such thoughts had gotten stronger and stronger these days.
At last, she was with him again. However, even though she promised to become his sister again, it seemed that there was still a gap between them.
“If you think my concern matters so much, then why did you break up with me in the first place?” Grace blurted out as if she could not resist the urge to do so. “Don’t you think your words and your actions contradict each other sometimes?”
Jason’s eye darkened immediately.
‘Contradict each other… Yeah, they do contradict each other!’ He was afraid that he would love her too much that he would one day repeat his father’s mistake of losing his dignity and life for love. He could not let her control his emotions!
However, after breaking up with her, he could not help wanting to see her and ended up forcing her to stay by his side.
“You know what? The only person in the world who can make me contradict myself is you!” His thin lips parted as he stared at her intently.
Grace was stunned as she stared at
Jason in confusion. ‘What does he mean by that?’
The way he looked at her seemed to be a combination of extreme desire and restraint. It was extremely contradictory!
The next day when Grace got off work and was walking out of the building, the Reed family’s driver came up to her. “Mr. Reed wants to see you, Miss Cummins.”
Grace pressed her lips together before following the driver into the car without a word.
Andrea Schwartz once again caught sight of this.
‘Still the same Maybach.’ Andrea Schwartz was delighted.
‘It looks like something is going on between Grace and Curtis Row after all!
I remember hearing that Curtis Row’s current girlfriend is a starlet. If that starlet finds out about it…’
With that in mind, a smile flashed across
Andrea Schwartz’s mouth. She took out her phone and secretly filmed Grace getting into the car as well as the car speeding off a moment later.
All of this was evidence. If she got more evidence and posted it online, it would be enough to make the starlet come and pick a fight with Grace.
That starlet was famous for quarreling with people. She got famous and attracted a lot of attention because of that!
Grace would be screwed if the starlet picked a fight with her. The more Andrea
Schwartz thought about it, the more pleased she was.
When Grace arrived at Reed Residence, the butler only said, “Mr. Reed’s home.
He asked you to look for him in the bedroom when you’ve arrived, Miss
Cummins.”
Grace felt somewhat awkward.
The word ‘bedroom’ was enough to make one’s imagination run wild! Especially when everyone here knew about her past relationship with Jason.
However, she could not escape even if she wanted to.
It was like she had become an actress who could only follow Jason’s script. The ending of this play was completely up to him.
Grace went to Jason’s bedroom door where she knocked twice, but no one answered. There was no one in the room when she pushed the door open. Even the lights were off.
‘Is he not in his bedroom?’ As she thought about this, she found that the door that linked the two bedrooms was open. The bedroom next door was the one she used to stay in.
The lights in that bedroom were on.
Grace could not help but lift her feet and walk toward the next room.
The room remained exactly as it had been when she left.
Even the skincare products she used were sitting on the dresser just the way they were before.
However, she still could not find Jason in this room. Just as she was about to go downstairs and ask the butler, the bathroom door was suddenly pulled open.
Jason was topless with a towel around his waist. His hair was wet and dripping with water.
Seeing Grace in the room, he smiled.
“You’re here.”
“Yes.” She looked away uncomfortably.
“What’s the matter? Are you embarra**ed?” He came up to her.
“Aren’t you going to help me dry my hair? I remember the first time you took me to your rental house that you offered to dry my hair when I came out of the shower,
Sis.”
“You’re a little too tall for me to dry your hair. Why don’t you-‘
Before she could finish, he bent down.
“Can you do it now?”
His sudden approach startled her, and when she turned her head, her eyes met his.
His eyes seemed to have some kind of magic that one could not help looking at.
Then, he put a dry towel in her hands. “I like it when you help me to dry my hair.”
Grace held the towel almost stiffly. She put it over his head and began drying his wet hair.
The towel managed to block his eyes, giving her a sense of relief.
Not only did she help him dry his wet hair many times when they were living in the rental house, but she had also done the same when she lived in Reed Residence.
However, she was now doing the familiar action in a completely different mood.
After drying his wet hair, Jason ran his fingers through his bangs. “My hair seems to have grown a bit. Why don’t you trim it for me?”
“You can get a professional hairstylist to cut your hair. I don’t know how to cut it.” She rejected almost subconsciously.
“Don’t you hate liars the most, Sis? When we were in the rental house, didn’t you trim my hair?” Jason said with a smirk.
