“It does taste good,” he said with a smile on his lips.
She immediately turned her head away uncomfortably. Out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of the entrance of the banquet hall not far away and was stunned!
A couple was now entering the banquet hall, their arrival attracting quite a few glances.
Both of them happened to be people
Grace knew-Brian and Stella.
Grace was in a daze as she watched them walk slowly into the banquet hall.
When she took the firm’s documents to get Curtis Row’s signature, she had seen Brian and Stella appearing in the same way.
Stella would accompany Brian to crowded events, just as if she was his girlfriend. No wonder many people on the internet believed Stella was Brian’s girlfriend even though Brian had never publicly announced that the two were a couple.
After all, Brian had been driving Stella around, giving her resources to work on movies and TV dramas, and taking her to various events as if they were dating.
Grace knew all this because of the advanced internet.
Every gossip news about Brian would easily be the most searched topic. Sometimes, Grace could not ignore reading his news even if she wanted to.
Stella was also criticized on the internet for being plain-looking, ordinary, uneducated, and having been divorced. She was arguably Brian’s worst girlfriend of all time!
Some people even said that something must have blurred Brian’s eyes to choose such a woman.
the Hart family had never publicly expressed their attitude toward Stella.
However, later on, Stella’s manager publicly expressed on the internet that they would sue those who defamed Stella for legal liability.
Everyone knew the manager. He was a top manager Brian chose for Stella.
Otherwise, someone like Stella would never have caught his attention.
As a result, many people believed that
Brian must have ordered the manager to make the deGracetion.
Just then, as if sensing something, Brian looked past the people around him as his eyes fell on Grace.
As soon as their eyes met, a hand suddenly covered Grace’s eyes. All she could see was pitch-black.
“Don’t look. I don’t like you looking at other men so seriously.” The cold voice rang faintly in Grace’s ears, making her shudder.
“Stop fooling around. Take your hand off,” said Grace.
“I’m not fooling around,” muttered Jason.
Those bright eyes were now staring coldly at Brian who was not far away.
Brian could not help frowning when he saw Jason with Grace.
‘What’s going on? Didn’t they break up?
Why is Grace with Jason?’
The two men looked into each other’s eyes. One pair was full of confusion while the other was full of cold jealousy.
Jason knew he was jealous. He was jealous when she looked at Brian so attentively.
Rather, he was more envious of her past with Brian. After all, the man knew her years before him and had even been looking for her all this time.
Despite all he had done… she still remembered Brian and her memories with him.
However, what surprised him was that she did not seem to have told Brian about it. Otherwise, the woman standing beside Brian today would not be Stella!
Grace shouted, “Jay! I didn’t mean to look at Brian. I can’t see anything if you do this.”
။
His hand seemed to be just touching her but when she tried to pull it away, eyes, she could not.
“Don’t fall for Brian.” His voice rang in her ears again.
She was speechless. She had no plans to fall for Brian at all. “I won’t.”
“Good,” he muttered as he looked at
Brian who was coming this way, then he slowly took his hand away.
Light came back into Grace’s eyes. However, when her eyes got used to the light, she realized Brian and Stella had walked up to her.
“Grace, why are you here? You’re… here with Mr. Reed?” Stella was also full of doubts. ‘Didn’t she break up with Jason? Why are they together again? What the hell is going on?’
She had been worried that Grace would suddenly come and explain everything to Brian, so she did everything she could to discredit Grace in front of Brian and reinforced the impression that she was the girl who saved his life as a child.
However, Grace never came looking for
Brian. Just as she was breathing a sigh of relief, she met Grace here!
“What’s the matter? Can’t she be here with me?” Instead of Grace, the speaker was Jason.
“Of course not.” Stella forced a smile.
Brian asked as he looked at Jason, “Why are you with her?”
He asked without even the faintest disguise!
“I told you. You… can’t touch her.” Jason gave him an irrelevant answer.
“You can’t order me around,” Brian replied coldly.
Then, Brian’s eyes fell on Grace’s face again. “I thought you said you wouldn’t love Jason anymore. What’s this?”
Grace’s expression froze. One could say that Brian held no one here in regards by saying this in front of Jason.
Jason’s expression immediately sank.
There was a tension in the air.
“Mr. Hart, this is my business. I don’t think I need to report it to you,” said Grace as she got up.
When she got up, Brian could see the full sight of her wearing the gown.
The light purple gown set with white and purple crystals was so graceful and elegant that it attracted much more attention than when she was sitting down.
Brian was stunned. ‘This gown…! He once spotted it on a designer’s website, but he was told that the only one was already reserved when he wanted to buy it.
However, on the principle of confidentiality, they never told him who bought it.
‘Now it seems… Jason was probably the one who bought it.
Over the years, he had collected a wardrobe full of purple dresses. Every year, he would collect them according to the age of the little girl and her estimated height and weight.
In many cases, he would even buy the same style in all sizes.
However, after finding Lifang, he did not give her the dresses.
He could not tell why. Was he reluctant? However, why was he reluctant?
Now, looking at Grace who was in front of him, suddenly there was a voice inside him that said… He just wanted the woman in front of him to wear those dresses-the dresses he had used to sustain his longing for so many years!
Even he thought it was funny that although Lifang was right next to him, he wanted Grace to wear those dresses instead!
Stella looked at Grace’s purple gown with a flash of jealousy in her eyes.
Brian had refused to give her the purple dress she was interested in and only sent her to the store to pick another one out.
When she chose a purple dress, Brian faintly remarked that it did not suit her current complexion. In the end, she changed her pick to a beige dress.
Now, Grace was wearing a purple gown and it was almost like a slap in her face!
“Grace, Brian is just wondering why you’re with Mr. Reed again. Didn’t you two break up? Is there some misunderstanding? Or is it that life hasn’t been great since you left Mr. Reed, so you couldn’t help but to go back to him?” Stella pretended to be concerned.
Stella deliberately wanted to make others think that Grace only returned to
Jason’s side because she was already used to living the lifestyle of the wealthy. After leaving Jason, she was reluctant to give up the money and material comforts, so she got together with Jason again.
It did not occur to her that what she thought was a more subtle and skillful allusion was, in the eyes of the other three, a very poor one.
“It’s none of your business,” Grace said coldly.
“None of my business? You’re my cousin.
Who should I care about if not you?”
