After ending her conversation with her best friend, Grace looked at the online buzz, and sure enough, the video was trending.
There were many comments below. One person even named her the woman who took the crown prince on the bus!
Grace did not know whether to laugh or cry when she saw some of the netizens’ comments.
Such gossip would calm down after a few days!
Grace did not expect someone to come to her when she returned to her rental house, just to ask about the trending news.
“Are you dating Brian?” Patrick asked Grace as he rushed to her.
Grace was stunned. She had met the man in front of her before. He was a friend of Jason and a socialite in Emerald City.
“Is it true?” asked Patrick.
“It’s personal. I have no comments,” said Grace.
Patrick was having a headache. He was dumbfounded when he saw the trending news this morning. He had seen how much
Jason cared about her before.
Jason’s secretary, Terrence, told him Jason had already split with Grace.
However, Jason had been going to Tianxiang Pavilion every night. It was so unusual! He figured it was because of Grace.
Now, Brian was involved with Grace!
Patrick dared not imagine what kind of reaction Jason would have when he saw the video!
Or… had he already seen it?
When he called Brian at noon, Brian had also replied with the words ‘No comment’, which made Patrick feel like fainting.
Seeing that she was about to leave, Patrick stopped her again and said, “Grace, I just want you to give me an answer. Are you and Brian dating? If you are, I’ll keep your video today on the trending list and make sure it’ll trend for a month so that the whole country knows you’re dating. If you’re not, then take what I just said as nonsense!”
Grace was the one suffering a headache now. As Patrick looked like he would keep his word, Grace could only reply, “We’re not dating.”
If the video trended for a month, the whole country would know her by then!
Just then, Patrick’s phone suddenly rang. After listening to it for a while, his brows suddenly furrowed. He looked at Grace, who was about to leave, and immediately ended the call. He strode to Grace’s side. He grabbed her and said, “Come with me.”
“Huh?” Before Grace could react, Patrick had stuffed Grace into the car. He started it and swiftly drove forward.
Grace immediately asked, “Where are you taking me?”
“You’ll know when we’re there,” Patrick said with a grim face. He only hoped they could make it in time!
The manager of Tianxiang Pavilion had called him and said that Jason was now in Tianxiang Pavilion, but… One of the guests went a little too far and offended Jason, then things became a little messy.
The manager was afraid that someone would be killed, so he immediately called Patrick. After all, Patrick’s family was the boss behind Tianxiang Pavilion, and Patrick was friends with Jason.
As such, Patrick could only take Grace with him to put out the fire.
After all, in Patrick’s opinion, Jason’s abnormality these days probably had something to do with Grace. In particular, Jason’s attitude toward women who were obviously trying to seduce him was different these days.
He was vicious and temperamental. It did not matter what those women did in front of him, but once some small details annoyed him, they would come to a miserable end.
If this went on, Patrick figured that it would not be long before his Tianxiang Pavilion would be completely void of women!
Grace immediately said, “Stop the car! I’ll call the police if you don’t!”
“Fine, call the police. If using your phone isn’t enough, you can use mine to call the police a few more times!” said Patrick as he flung his phone to Grace.
Grace was silent, knowing that Patrick was determined to take her somewhere.
When Patrick’s car stopped, Grace found that it was Tianxiang Pavilion. It was a famous place in Emerald City. Many of Emerald City’s rich people patronized this place.
However, there were supposed to be many fancy cars parked outside Tianxiang Pavilion, but there were not many cars parked here today. It seemed a bit deserted.
“Where is he?” Patrick hurriedly asked the manager who carne over.
“He’s inside, but no one dares to stop Master Reed. Master
Reed is too…” The manager’s face was a little pale, and he was trembling. Master Reed was just like death. No one dared to stop him.
Grace shuddered. ‘Is the Master Reed he mentioned Jason?’
The next moment, Patrick pulled her by the arm and took her into Tianxiang Pavilion. “Come on. Meet Jason with me!”
“Did you bring me here to see Jason? We’ve broken up. We have nothing to do with each other anymore!” said Grace.
However, Patrick said, “Since you have nothing to do with Brian, you’d better say it in front of Jason again!”
Patrick had a hunch that Jason’s outburst tonight might be related to the video.
After all, though Jason’s behavior had been unpredictable and terrifying since a few days ago, it certainly never led to anything fatal.
Just then, another Tianxiang Pavilion waiter rushed over. As soon as he saw Patrick, he said with a sullen expression, “Oh no, Young Master Ye, it seems that Master Reed really won’t let Mr. Lee go. What if Master Reed kills him here?”
Upon hearing this, Patrick panicked and immediately dragged Grace toward where Jason was at. Grace could not refuse at all.
A lot of waiters were standing at the doorway of the largest private room on the second floor. When they saw Patrick, they immediately moved out of the way as if they had seen a savior.
Customers had already been asked to leave the place, so the people standing and looking from outside the private room were all employees.
Patrick dragged Grace into the private room.
Grace said, “Let go! Jason and I are over, and he doesn’t want to see me either. I think it’ll only make him angrier if you bring me in!”
Patrick glared at Grace. “Do you want Jason to kill someone? I don’t care if you guys are really over, but no one can die here today!”
With that, Patrick dragged Grace into the private room.
It was a private room, but it looked more like a hall that was about 200 square meters. It had a bar, a billiards table, a game table, a karaoke booth… and a small stage that could be used for performances.
A middle-aged man was on his knees, begging for mercy on a space that ought to be empty in the middle of the room.
There was a pair of tweezers, stained with blood, in front of the middle-aged man.
When Grace saw the tweezers, her blood seemed to freeze immediately.
She had seen such tweezers before. Those scenes seemed to be imprinted on her soul, and she could not forget them even if she wanted to. Sometimes in the middle of the night, she would once again dream of those cold tweezers stabbing Into her fingernails and skin, pulling out her fingernails one by one.
People who had not experienced it would never understand such paint
“Master Reed, forgive me, I was wrong. I dare not do it again. Really!” The man kept kowtowing. His face was bruised, and there was blood all over his nose and mouth. He had obviously been beaten earlier, and badly too.
“Do it.” The cold voice only spat out these words coldly.
Grace turned her head almost stiffly and looked at Jason who was sitting on the couch.
He wore a black turtleneck sweater with black trousers today, and that made his face look colder. His delicate features were still the same, but there was an extreme chill and ruthlessness in those beautiful peach blossom eyes that people could not help but fear.
His body exuded an aura that seemed to carry a sharp edge, making people afraid to get close to him. It was like a sharp sword. Once you got close to it, you were likely to get hurt!
The man on his knees turned pale and clutched the tweezers with trembling hands. Just as he was about to start, a shrill, trembling voice suddenly shouted, “No!”
All eyes in the private room, including those outside it, turned to Grace.
It was then she realized she was the one who shouted.
Sitting on the couch, Jason glanced at Grace. Then his gaze fell on Patrick. “Patrick, did you bring her here?”
Patrick smiled awkwardly. “I just… haven’t seen Grace for a long time, so I brought her here.”
