“I heard that she’s a paralegal at some firm. I’m not quite sure about the details.”
‘It must be Grace!’ Stella had already come to a conclusion in mind as she listened.
‘Brian is obsessed with Grace. No, I can’t let this go on.
‘If Brian starts dating Grace, I won’t even have a place beside
Brian!’
Grace was a bit surprised to find herself stopped by Stella as soon as she left Hart Group’s building.
“Grace, what a coincidence running into you here,” Stella said with a smile.
‘Coincidence?’ Grace raised her eyebrows. She did not think it was a coincidence to see her cousin as soon as she left the building
“Can I help you?” asked Grace.
“It’s nothing serious. Since we’ve run into each other, why don’t we find a place to sit down and talk?” invited Stella.
“No thanks. I’m working right now and have to hurry back to the office. I gotta go if you have nothing else to say.” Grace rejected.
“Wait!” Stella hastily exclaimed. “Well… I… I also wanted to ask you what’s going on between you and Brian…”
Grace looked at her knowingly. ‘That’s probably the real reason why she stopped me.
“That seems to be personal,” said Grace. In other words, she had nothing to tell her.
“Grace, Brian said he’s in love with you the other day at the police station. What about you? What do you think of him? It seems that Mr. Jason also cares about you. Did you and Mr. Reed… really break up?” Stella probed.
Grace merely looked at her and did not reply.
Stella put on a sad expression. “Grace, you know I’m not well educated, and I was with the wrong man. Brian is now the only one I can rely on, and… After spending time with him these days, I really like Brian.”
As she spoke, she put on another blushing expression. “You still have Jason, but I only have Brian left. You’re not going to take Brian from me, right?”
Grace stared at Stella until the latter felt guilty.
“Grace, why are you looking at me like that? I… I know I’ve said some things that have upset you in the past, but now I’m telling you this with all my heart.”
“Do you expect me to say that I don’t love Brian and I don’t have any ideas about him so that you can feel at ease? Did you think you could at least take the moral high ground so that if I like Brian someday, you would then try to stop me with the response you’re hoping to receive from me at this
The expression on Stella’s face showed that this was clearly the idea she had in mind.
Grace said, “Sis, don’t you find it funny? You’re asking someone else to make a promise for your relationship. For
Grandma’s sake, let me remind you again that Brian isn’t easy to fool. It might not be too late if you get out of it now. The more you get, the more you’ll…”
If a man like Brian knew he had been lied to, a miserable fate would await Stella.
“What do you mean?” Stella’s expression changed immediately. “Are you threatening me? I’ll be fine with Brian as long as you keep your mouth shut!
Looking at her cousin, Grace knew it would only be a waste of effort no matter how much she said. “Do as you please. I’ll leave it at that, and you don’t have to come to me about Brian acain
With that, Grace turned to leave.
Stelle stood there with a gleam of pride in her eyes. She slowly pulled a recorder pen out of her pocket.
The content she wanted had been recorded anyway. She just had to find a professional to edit it and she could get the effect she wanted:

The black Bentley was parked in the shadows, and the car was quiet. Jason was sitting in the car, looking through the window at the building’s entrance not far away. He appeared to be thinking about something.
Terrence did not even dare make a noise.
After some time, a thin figure caught Terrence’s sight. Terrence was immediately delighted. ‘Grace’s finally back, and… The most important thing is that she came back alone!”
Terrence had been worried that a man might accompany Grace back. If it really was the case, it would put Master Reed in a bad mood again.
However, to his surprise, Master Reed did not get out of the car and remained seated. Even until Grace’s figure walked into the building, he still did not see any movement from his boss.
“Master Reed, Miss Cummins has entered…” Terrence said, thinking Jason did not see Grace.
However, Jason did not seem to hear him. He just continued staring out of the window.
‘Did Master Reed see Grace just now?’ Terrence thought to himself. However, he did not understand why Master Reed did not get out of the car if he saw her.
Master Reed had been waiting for more than an hour today, all for Grace.
After more than an hour, Jason finally ordered, “Go back to
Reed Residence.”
Terrence dared not ask any more questions and started the car, driving slowly away from the area.
Jason closed his eyes gently as if he was fired. The moment he saw her, his empty heart seemed to fill up ime by me.
However, when she disappeared from his sight, his heart… seemed to feel empty again.
She can still easily affect my mood. She can make me feel content or frustrated.
Is it impossible for me to not love her?
“Terrence, do you think I’m still in love with Grace?” Jason’s voice suddenly rong in the car.
Terrence stiffened, thinking it was a trick question
“Well Master Reed, you.” Terrence wondered what to say.
“Tell me the truth!” Jason said coldly as if he had guessed his intention.
Therefore, Terrence could only go all out and say, “Master Reed, the way you look at Miss Cummins is the way men look at women. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have gotten so angry
Women had always been finding ways to cling to Master Reed, but these days, it was as if Master Reed was trying desperately to cling to Grace.
“Then was I just fooling myself by calling her ‘Sis’?” Jason’s voice once again rang in the car.
Of course, Terrence dared not give a direct answer. He only said, “You’re probably missing the time when you were mistaken for a homeless person by Miss Cummins, Master
Reed.”
‘Missing?’ Jason’s eyes darkened slightly.
‘Yes, I miss it. She trusted me with all her heart then, and for the first time, I felt familial warmth.
His father had never given him this warmth before, neither did his mother and grandfather.
