Filed To Story: The Scarlet Vengeance: Justice of a Framed Beauty Novel (Grace & Jason)

‘Now, Brian is already distancing himself from me because of Grace! Not to mention the future!

‘If Grace gets together with Brian, then maybe Grace will tell

Brian the truth.

‘Brian will certainly believe Grace more!

‘Then I’ll lose everything I have now!’

Stella could not accept it when she thought of this!

Everyone in town thought she would marry into a rich and powerful family. She would be the town’s laughing stock if she went back with her tail between her legs.

‘No. No way! I will never allow myself to be a joke!

‘I must find a way to prevent Grace from taking away everything I have now!’

The atmosphere in the Bentley was depressingly silent.

Jason only lowered his head and played with Grace’s hands.

She had skinny hands with long and thin fingers. Some of her joints were slightly deformed. If one looked carefully, one could see some old scars on her fingers as well as on the back of her hands. There were also calluses.

Her hands were not pretty at all and were even uglier than most women’s hands. One would know at first glance that she had done a great deal of heavy labor.

However, Jason stroked them carefully as if he was possessed. He refused to miss an inch of it.

It was as if they were the most beautiful hands in the world to him.

Grace wriggled her wrists uncomfortably and tried to pull her hand back. However, Jason grabbed her hands a little tighter.

A deep voice rang in the car. “What’s the matter? Do you hate it when I touch your hand like this?”

She pursed her lips slightly. “It’s inappropriate for our current relationship.”

The touch of his hand would only disturb her more.

‘I want to keep my distance from him and calm myself down. If he wants to play a brother and sister game, then we should just do what regular brothers and sisters do!”

“Inappropriate?” Jason suddenly chuckled. “I remember you taking the initiative to warm my hands when it was cold. Why didn’t you find it inappropriate then?”

‘Warm his hands… Grace felt a rush of sadness. ‘It was great back then. It was so great when I thought I had a family!

However, the better it was, the crueler it seemed.

He leaned toward her. The face that could turn a woman on so easily got closer to her. “Or is it because of Brian? Since he has confessed to you, now you can’t stand my touch?”

His warm breath sprayed on her face as he spoke. His beautiful peach-blossom eyes were cold.

“It has nothing to do with Brian,” said Grace.

“Really?” His eyes sparkled a little. “In that case, you don’t love

Brian either?”

“Does it matter whether I love him or not? Besides, we’re not a couple. We’re just brother and sister. So what even if I do fall for him?” She could not restrain herself and the words just blurted out.

His expression changed immediately, and the atmosphere in the car took a dip.

Grace only felt breathless. Jason’s face slowly approached her cheek, rubbing it gently.

His voice was like a light feather that gently fluttered in her cochlea. “Are you going to fall for Brian?”

She immediately stiffened. The hair on her body stood on end, and she felt a chill running up her spine.

Somehow, she had a feeling that he was angry… No, it was more serious than anger. It was fury! He was furious.

Even though his voice and movements were so gentle, he was furious.

‘If I say I’ve fallen for Brian, then maybe the consequence… would be too much for me to bear!’

“Hmm? Why aren’t you talking? Are you going to fall for Brian?” he asked again. He needed to get an answer from her today.

With some difficulty, she opened her mouth. “I… I’m not falling for Brian.” She had never wanted to fall for Brian. Even after she regained her memories, she just thought of him as a childhood playmate.

The pressure in the air seemed to relax suddenly.

A few moments later, his voice slowly rang in the car.

“Fortunately, you didn’t say you want to fall for Brian.

Otherwise…”

He looked up slowly. His bright eyes seemed to be covered with a veil, making it hard for people to see through him. “I wouldn’t know what I’ll do to you…”

It was as if it would be the end of the world to him if she said she would fall for Brian.

‘Thankfully, she didn’t say so…”

Grace felt a chill running through her. His words seemed more like a warning than a rea**urance.

She even wanted to question him.

‘What does he want from me? He doesn’t love me, but he also won’t allow me to love someone else! Am I just an emotionless. doll that can be manipulated into whatever role he wants?

‘Does he think that I could be a lover and a sister?’

“Your hands are so cold. Why don’t I warm them for you?” he muttered before lowering his head to start warming her hands.

Just as she had taught him.

He was warming her hands attentively. He was so gentle and attentive as if she was a treasure he cherished.

Her hands were getting warmer, but Grace felt as though her body was getting colder and colder…

“Jason, when is this going to end?” she asked in a whisper.

His hands paused for a moment. Then, he looked up at her and smiled like how he had smiled at her back in their rental house.

“Sis, there will never be an end between you and me!” he said.

He would never allow her to end their relationship!

So much had happened that Grace could not sleep. When she arrived at the law firm the next day, Lawyer Carter looked at Grace and asked, “Were you alright yesterday? Are you sure you’re not hurt?”

She had called him yesterday when their call was suddenly cut off in the middle. When he dialed back, he could not get through, which made him worried for a while. He nearly called the police.

Fortunately, she called him later and told him what had happened. He was relieved to hear from her.

Grace said, “I’m fine. I’ll check out the results of the police investigation later.”

Lawyer Carter said, “It’s alright. I went to the police station this morning. The man who attacked you yesterday is Elise Dean’s fan. He hired people to carry out the two previous attacks. Based on what you told me yesterday, we had the police conduct a simulation and concluded that the person wearing the ruby ring was in the driver’s seat.”

Grace was delighted at the news. ‘If it’s like this, the chain of evidence that proves Elise Dean was the driver is even clearer!’

“Did the man who attacked me yesterday own up to attacking me twice?” she asked, a little confused.

“No. Someone reputedly sent an investigation report to the police station last night. It has detailed evidence that the man has been looking for people online to lay a hand on you,” said Lawyer Carter.

Grace was stunned. “Who gave the police the investigation report?”

“The police didn’t disclose this,” said Lawyer Carter.

Grace looked down and thought about this. Usually, it was because the informant did not want their information to be revealed, so the police kept it a secret.
