“Brian, I don’t care whether you were joking. I-”
She had barely finished when he interrupted her. He lowered his head with his lips close to her ear. He laid one hand on her shoulder and put his arm around her waist, forbidding her.
to push him away. “Let me be very clear, Grace. I really am in love with you, so I won’t let go anymore!”
He kept his gaze on Jason when he said this. He was telling her this as well as the other man!
In the past, he had repeatedly ignored the throbbing in his heart because of Jason and let her go countless times. However, he would not let go again this time!
Jason heard Brian’s words, and his expression immediately changed. His whole body sent out a biting chill while his peach blossom eyes were full of anger. There was also… a faint hint of panic.
The next moment, he reached out and pulled the thin body out of Brian’s arms.
Grace was shocked, but then she found that it was Jason who was holding her in his arms.
“What… What are you doing here?” As soon as Grace said it, she realized that she had asked a silly question. She came to the police station with the two bodyguards he had sent to watch over her. They must have reported what happened to him.
“You don’t want to see me?” Jason raised his hand and immediately brushed it across the spot where Brian had touched her just now as if to cover Brian’s trace.
As Grace stiffened, Jason raised his eyes and looked at Brian. “I told you, you can’t touch her!”
Brian frowned slightly and raised his phoenix eyes slowly. “I must have her!”
This simple sentence was a sign of his determination.
“Impossible!” Jason said coldly.
Brian’s thin lips parted slowly. “It may have been impossible before, but since you’ve broken up with her, then why is it impossible?”
Looking at Grace, Brian said, “You don’t need to give me an answer right away. Also, nothing I said today was meant as a joke. I can give you whatever Jason has to offer and the things.
that he can’t!”
That always delicate but indifferent face was now serious.
Grace suddenly felt like she was in a trance. It was as if she was looking at the same little boy saying to her in a childlike voice, “I’m not joking. I’ll come looking for you. I’ll bring you to have a lot of fun and eat a lot of delicious food. I’ll be very nice.
to you!”
“That’s enough!” Jason’s low cry interrupted Grace’s trance. Jason’s face was dreadfully dark while his voice was cold when he said to Brian, “Brian, you’ll never get the answer you want.”
“Really?” Brian smirked. “Well, why don’t we just wait and see?”
The two men confronted each other again.
The air around them became extremely tense.
Just then, the two bodyguards who watched over Grace had already finished giving their statements and came out of the room. When they saw Jason, they quickly stepped forward and said, “Master Reed.”
Jason pursed his thin lips, lowered his head again, and said to Grace who was in his arms, “Let’s go.”
“I…” Grace wanted to refuse to leave with Jason. As if he had read through her mind, he glanced faintly at Chase Harper who was standing nearby. “Do you want to leave with your former colleague?”
Grace stiffened. She did not want to involve Chase Harper in this.
She bit her lip a little and said to Chase Harper, “I gotta go now. I’ll talk to Lawyer Carter about Baldwin’s case and apply for the trial to be postponed. There’s a good chance we can turn the tables.”
“Oh, good…” Chase Harper said blankly. He was still a little shaken up.
After all, what was happening felt unreal to him.
‘The crown prince of the entertainment industry confessed that he loves Grace and… The man who called her ‘Sis’ is different from the man I saw last time.’
He had the same face, but he was dressed differently. Besides, Brian had called the man ‘Jason’ while the two men who came out of the interview room called him ‘Master Reed’
A name loomed large in Chase Harper’s mind.
‘However, is it possible?’
Could this man be… Jason?
‘Is Master Reed, the man who rules Emerald City and who many are intimidated by, the ‘younger brother’ Grace mentioned?
‘However… I remember reading a magazine stating Jason is the only child of the Reed family. He doesn’t have any brothers or sisters.
‘What’s more, the way Jason looked at Grace and what he said to Brian just now was nothing a brother would do or say. Instead… It looks more like he’s a man who loves Grace deeply!
‘Are Jason and Brian, the two men at the top of Emerald City, fighting over… Grace?’
Chase Harper felt that his brain was a little inadequate to process this.
Stella finally came over to Brian. She bit her lip and asked piteously, “Brian, have… Have you fallen in love with Grace?”
“Yes,” Brian replied lightly. He knew about the feelings Stella had for him, but he just did not feel that way about her.
He could treat her as his savior but not a lover. Just like how she was unfamiliar to him the first time he saw her.
“Grace is messing around with Jason. They broke up, but they’re still together. If you and-”
“Lifang!” Brian interrupted her. His phoenix eyes looked at her coldly as he said, “It’s none of your business!”
Stella felt a pang in her heart while the rest of her words seemed to be stuck in her throat. She could not utter a word.
was not until Brian walked past her that she gritted her teeth and followed him out of the police station.
With difficulty, Stella caught up to Brian who was already near his car.
“Brian, I didn’t mean to interfere. I’m just a little scared!” Stella said piteously, her eyes watering a little.
It was true. However, she was not a little scared but very scared.
“Scared?” Brian frowned.
“If you’re with Grace, then… Maybe you won’t be as good to me as you are now and have time for me. After all, I only helped you once when I was a child. I don’t mean much to you, but you… mean a lot… to me,” Stella said as she sobbed a little.
Brian sighed and said, “Lifang, you saved my life, and I’ll always remember that. No matter who I love, you don’t need to worry about anything. I’ll give you the kind of life you want. I can give you good resources if you really want to develop a career in the film industry. You don’t have to worry about anything.”
“Are you sure you won’t cast me aside?” asked Stella as she sniffled.
“I promised I’ll be good to you, so I will,” replied Brian.
A smile appeared on Stella’s face. She subconsciously reached out to grab Brian’s arm only to be avoided by him.
She dropped her hand as a look of embarra**ment came over her face.
“Lifang, I think we shouldn’t be too intimate with each other to avoid unnecessary speculation from outsiders,” said Brian.
Before this, he had still been unsure about what he wanted, so he allowed Lifang to mislead people into thinking she was his girlfriend.
Even though he knew what she was up to, he did not say anything. After all, she was his savior, and he would not mind.
if she wanted to use him to make a name for herself.
However… It was different now!
Since he now realized he loved Grace, he did not want Grace to misunderstand him.
Stella’s face turned a little pale hearing that. She sulkily lowered her head and said, “In that case… I… I’ll pay attention.
to that.”
Her voice sounded a little pathetic. However, with her head lowered, her eyes were full of resentment. Her hands were slowly clutching her skirt.
‘It’s all because of Grace!
