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

In a black car nearby, Terrence could only feel the air pressure inside dropping precipitously, making him feel breathless.

He peered warily through the rear-view mirror at his boss in the back seat.

‘Master Reed’s looking out at the scene. Although he’s not showing any expression on his face, the aura he’s exuding is simply terrifying!”

Terrence could not help groaning in his mind.

‘Speaking of which, Master Reed has been waiting for Grace to come back every day recently, but he doesn’t get out of the car to meet Grace. Sometimes, he even stays in the neighborhood until midnight. I have no idea what Master Reed is thinking!

 ‘These few days, Grace had been coming home alone, so it was alright. However, Young Master Hart sent Grace home today and now… Young Master Hart’s holding Grace’s hands as they’re looking at each other, just like a couple!’

Terrence just hoped Brian and Grace would separate as soon as possible. ‘If they keep on hanging around like this, who knows what Master Reed would do?!’

Grace walked to her rental house with a box of pancakes in her hand. She took out the keys from her bag and opened the door. Just as she was about to push the door open and walk in, another hand beat her to the door and pushed it open.

Grace was taken aback and turned around immediately, only to see Jason standing behind her.

“When did you come?” she asked in confusion.

He was wearing a thin light-colored sweater and a pair of black trousers. With his handsome face, he looked just like Prince Charming. However, his face was dark and there was restraint, struggle, and… rage in his eyes.

It gave her an almost instinctive sense of crisis.

It was as if he was dangerous right now, and she might get hurt if she made a mistake!

“What’s the matter? Won’t you invite me in?” His cold voice rang slowly.

“It’s late now…” She wanted to refuse, but he approached her.

Grace subconsciously stepped back while Jason approached her until they both walked into the house. He then shut the door behind him.

Bang!

With the sound of the door closing, the house immediately became quiet.

Grace took a deep breath. “Can I help you?”

Jason gazed at the takeaway box in her hands. “Brian gave this to you, didn’t he? Were you with him today?”

Grace was shocked and realized he had probably seen Brian walking her to the door.

“Did you have dinner together?” he asked, inching closer to her.

Step by step, she retreated until her back was against the wall. There was no more space behind her.

His hands rested against the space on the wall on both sides. of her body. He lowered his head, and his normally bright and charismatic eyes were now dark. “Have you fallen for Brian?”

She bit her lip slightly. “No, alright? I want to go to bed now.”

She raised her hand to push him away, but the next moment, he grabbed her hands. His fingertips caressed her hands as he muttered, “You didn’t reject him when he touched you. Why did you let him hold your hands if you haven’t fallen for him?”

‘Why… Because it’s Bryn, because… At that moment, she could.

not help but wonder if her life would have been different if she had not lost that memory or if she had remembered that part of her childhood before the car accident.

“Just because I haven’t fallen for him doesn’t mean he can’t hold my hands. It’s just like how you’re also holding my hands when I have no interest in you,” retorted Grace.

His expression immediately changed. A moment later, he dragged her into the bathroom.

“Jason, what are you trying to do?” cried Grace as she struggled.

He turned on the tap on the sink, water immediately gushing out.

He put her hands under the tap and took the soap to wash her hands with. He washed her hands over and over again as if to rinse off all the traces, smell, and temperature Brian had left on her hands…

Grace tried to withdraw her hands from Jason’s grasp but it was to no avail.

She had no idea how many times he had washed her hands.

They began to ache. “Jason, stop it. What do you want?”

He turned off the tap, picked up the towel nearby, and dried her hands carefully. “Don’t let Brian touch your hands again.”

He could not bear the thought of what he had seen earlier. His body seemed to have been filled with jealousy.

He was afraid that she would fall in love with Brian!

“Stop saying things that will irritate me,” he said.

Grace was stunned for a moment before laughing. “Should I still be in love with you even after we’ve broken up?”

He stopped what he was doing and raised his eyes to mee! her calm, almond-shaped eyes.

unperturbed calm instead.

However, the calmer she was, the more uneasy he felt.

Her lips parted slowly, and her gentle breeze-like voice was as calm as her eyes. “Jason, since we’ve broken up, I won’t fall for you, love you, nor do anything for you. If they irritate you, then it’s probably hard for me to keep you from getting angry.”

His thin lips tightened into a line while his eyes remained fixed on her.

She continued, “If you want to continue this brother and sister. game, so be it. However, I won’t have any feelings for you anymore, and one day, I will truly forget about you.”

His heart immediately sank. ‘Truly… forget about me?”

Just hearing her words made his heart feel as if it had exploded.

‘How could she have no feelings for me? How could she forget me? How could she do it so easily while I… can’t!”

Jason lowered his head and kissed Grace forcefully.

Only this time, she did not struggle as before. She let him kiss her, and… gave him no response.

It was as if she was silently telling him that she had no feelings for him anymore.

It was only a matter of time until she truly forgot about him!

He kissed her, but it felt like he was kissing an empty shell.

When the kiss was over, his heart grew more restless than ever!

“You must have feelings for me! Don’t forget me!” He pulled her hard into his arms as if that was the only way to ease his nervousness.

“Don’t you think it’s funny that you want me to have feelings and not to forget about you when we’ve broken up?”

Grace scoffed.

for you

He stiffened. After a moment, he lowered his head slowly while his ink-like eyes stared at her. Then, as if he had made up his mind, he said, “What if… we never broke up?”

She looked at the person in front of her in confusion. “What does he mean?

“If you don’t love me and want to forget me because we broke up, then… let’s get back together and return to how we were,” he said.

He was not the kind of man to change his decision upon making his mind, but this time, he went back on his word. It was like a slap in the face, and it was all just because of her!

It was because her not loving him and wanting to forget him were so unbearable to him.

Grace laughed. She laughed so hard that her nose was sore and she could hardly hold back her tears.

‘He casually wanted to break up on the same day of my birthday and knocked me down from heaven to hell.

‘Now, he’s talking about getting back together and returning to how we were before… How we were before? How can I ever go back to being the same like we used to again?”

“What’s the matter? Are you going to love me again now?” she asked.

‘I thought I could easily do it, but in the end, she was the one who did it easily!’
