Grace turned around and was about to explain to Lawyer Carter.
After all, it would leave a bad impression when such a thing happened at the firm… Even if she was not the one at fault.
Just as she was about to pa** Brian, he grabbed her wrist and turned to Lawyer Carter who was nearest to them. He said,
“Give me a room. I want to talk to her alone.”
“Ah, sure!” Although Brian had not introduced himself, Lawyer Carter recognized him and agreed. He took him to a conference room and told Grace, “You can talk to Mr. Hart here.”
Grace was a little speechless.
When the door closed, only Grace and Brian were left in the conference room.
There seemed to be an indescribable sense of depression in the air.
Outside the conference room, Andrea Schwartz and the other colleagues were stunned.
The plot twist was too unexpected. What started as someone meeting their lover turned into the girlfriend trying to confront the homewrecker. Then, the story changed again.
Grace was not a homewrecker and she seemed close to the entertainment industry’s crown prince.
When Andrea Schwartz saw Brian, her mood was different from the others.
Brian had previously run into them when she was giving
Grace a hard time and defended Grace.
She thought Brian had lost interest in Grace when the internet was full of gossip about him and Stella.
After all, no woman would last long with the crown prince of the entertainment industry.
However, who would have thought that Brian would appear again today and defend Grace as before?!
“What on earth does Grace have for Brian to defend her like this?”
Andrea Schwartz felt a mixture of hate and jealousy. Her boyfriend, who was an a**ociate professor, was nothing compared to Brian.
The colleagues who had been taunting Grace for corrupting the office’s code of conduct by being a homewrecker. immediately shut their mouths and stared at each other.
In the conference room, Grace looked at Brian and said, “Thank you for that, but I don’t think we have anything to talk. about, Mr. Hart.”
If it had not been for Brian, she might have gotten injured again. However, she had no idea what Brian was doing here.
“What’s going on with you and Jason?” asked Brian. She was. with Jason at the banquet that day, but she seemed reluctant. “Do you have a secret? Let me know if you do. I can help you.
out.”
“Help me?” Grace raised her eyes. “Why?”
‘Yeah, why?’ Brian looked at the woman in front of him. Frankly speaking, he had nothing to do with her. “You’re Lifang’s cousin. What’s so weird about me helping you out?”
“Does your fondness extend to everyone related to the person. you like? Would you have liked whoever that little girl was and what she grew up to be?” Grace asked abruptly.
Brian frowned slightly. “What do you mean?”
She smiled faintly. “Nothing. I just think you’re really nice to
Stella. You’d even care about her cousin.”
‘No, my concern for you isn’t because of Lifang, but…! The answer was about to escape his heart! Pursing his lips slightly,
Brian said, “You haven’t answered me yet. What’s going on. between you and Jason?”
“That doesn’t seem to concern you, Mr. Hart. I also don’t need your help,” said Grace.
sne promised Jason that she would become his sister again for Kyla and Nelson’s sake, so she could not go back on her words now.
After all, one had to give something for what they got.

After all, one had to give something for what they got.
“If you have no further questions, then I’m going to leave,” said Grace as she walked toward the conference room’s door.
However, before her hand touched the door handle, Brian grabbed her.
“Grace, do you have to shut me out like this?” There was a note of impatience in his voice that was usually calm.
Brian felt a rare sense of anxiety, one that he could not even articulate.
Grace stared at the handsome face in front of her. His delicate features reminded her of another miniature face.
Back in the woods, the little boy with that face had once held her when she was exhausted from carrying him. “I’ll be very nice to you. I’ll buy you a lot of dresses. I’ll take you to eat lots of delicious food. I’ll protect you better than anyone else!”
She did not take it very seriously at the time. After all, many children forgot what they said the next day.
She then forgot about him and their shared memories after catching a fever.
She was not aware that he had been looking for her for so many years! His obsession was deeper than she had ever imagined. Only now, his obsession was with Stella.
‘As for me… I’ve chosen not to say anything!
He was not the one she loved. If he shifted his obsession to her, then there would only be more confusion. It might not be a good thing for him.
