“Really?” Jason said with a half-smile.

Patrick suddenly shivered and felt a chill running down his back. “I think Mr. Lee has realized what he did wrong. You don’t have to pull out his nails to have him make amends.”

Kneeling on the ground, Mr. Lee immediately said, “Master Reed, I know what I did wrong. I shouldn’t have forced myself on her just because she’s a waiter. I’m inhuman! I’m a scumbag! Master Reed, let me go. I dare not do it again!”

He raised his hand and slapped himself hard as he spoke. Several red marks immediately appeared on Mr. Lee’s face.

Jason looked at him indifferently before saying lightly, “Do it.”

“No…” Grace basically rushed in front of Jason.

She knew the thing she should do now was to get out of here and stay out of this, but… Perhaps the scene reminded her of the time when her fingernails got pulled out and the pain she had felt.

Back then, there had been no one to help her!

All she could do was bear the heart-clenching pain!

He slowly raised those beautiful peach blossom eyes, his cold gaze falling on Grace.

When her eyes met his gaze, her thin body shuddered again. His eyes were too cold and icy.

It was like a bottomless cold pond. The deeper she looked into his eyes, the colder she felt.

“No?” Jason stood up slowly. Looking at her coldly from a commanding position, he said, “Who are you to say no to me?”

Her body trembled. The person in front of her was not the

Jason she knew, not even Jay!

He was now Emerald City’s Master Reed, and she was just an ant in his eyes!

“Do you think it’s easy to pull out a person’s fingernails and you can pull them out as you please?” asked Grace as she took a deep breath.

Her face was pale under the lamplight, and she was trembling a little. However, her almond-shaped eyes were staring straight at the person in front of her.

Jason narrowed his eyes, and he seemed to be filled with a sense of danger.

Patrick hurried forward and began to smooth things over, saying, “Well… By the way, I asked Grace about her relationship with Brian when I brought her here. She said they have nothing to do with each other and that the video online is just a misunderstanding.”

Jason said lazily, “Patrick, did you bring her here today just to talk about this?”

Although he was asking Patrick, Jason’s eyes were fixed on Grace.

Patrick could only smile awkwardly.

Jason said, “Then you’d better remember never to bring her to me again, and don’t even mention her name in front of

Otherwise, don’t blame me for disregarding our years of friendship!”

Patrick was stunned. Jason would never say such a thing because of a woman!

‘Now, Jason is saying it like he’s utterly disgusted by Grace. Has he really gotten over… Grace?’

On the other hand, did it not show just how much Grace occupied his heart?

Just then, a woman dressed in the club’s waitress uniform stepped forward and said, “Mr. Reed, I appreciate you standing up for me, but… there’s no need for you to quarrel with your friends for a nobody like me!”

The waitress held her right hand with her left hand, and her right hand’s index finger was wrapped in gauze. The white gauze was faintly stained with blood.

Jason turned to the waitress and said, “If I don’t think you’re a nobody, then you’re not a nobody.” He took her right hand as he spoke. “Does your finger still hurt?”

Although the cold voice was merely inquiring, it surprised the waitress. The other people around her cast her an envious look.

Was Master Reed interested in her? It was even more enviable than hitting the jackpot!

It was probably what they called reaching heaven in a single bound!

“I… I feel a lot better now…” The waitress was so excited that she stammered a little, and her cheeks blushed due to her feeling shy.

Jason said, “Since this man was going to pull out your nails, pull out all ten of his nails now.”

“Master Reed, if it hadn’t been for your timely arrival, my fingernails would’ve been pulled out. But… I think he knows he was wrong too… Master Reed, why don’t you let him off the hook this time?” The woman spoke with a delicate look, looking kind and innocent.

Such a woman could easily arouse a man’s affection and desire to protect her.

Grace trembled when she heard their conversation.

She suddenly felt like a joke. The man kneeling on the ground was a perpetrator, and the woman with an injured finger, dressed as a waitress, was the victim.

Was Jason… getting justice for the woman?

In a trance, she looked at Jason who was interacting with the waitress. From her point of view, what she saw now was his profile.

He had clear deep outlines and a straight nose bridge. His thin lips parted and closed as he said something to her.

Something he had once said to her flashed through her mind… “I’ll get you justice.”

Later, he had reversed her case and helped her get justice.

Now, he was getting justice for another woman.

She gently lowered her eyes and told herself that all this had nothing to do with her anymore. What she had to do now was to leave quietly.

Just then, another man burst into the private room and ran straight toward Grace. “Grace, are you okay?”

Grace came back to her senses and saw Brian standing in front of her, panting slightly. He had apparently rushed over in a hurry.

“I’m… fine, but what are you doing here?” Grace asked in a mutter.

“We’ll talk about that later,” said Brian as his gaze fell on

Jason’s face.

Jason was also looking at Brian.

The two men looked at each other, but Brian’s eyes were aggressive. It was as if he would do whatever it took to strike back if Jason were to do anything to Grace.

Jason’s eyes were cold, making people unable to fathom what he was thinking.

Seeing this, Patrick hurried forward and said, “It’s a misunderstanding. It’s a complete misunderstanding. I was the one who brought Grace here today!”

“Why did you bring her here?” Brian’s phoenix eyes glanced at Patrick.

Patrick was stunned. He could not tell him that he was afraid Jason was triggered by the video of them on the bus and that Jason might kill someone at his place, so he brought Grace here to ‘explain’, could he?

However… things seemed to have turned out a little differently than he expected.

Therefore, Patrick could only continue his awkward smile.

“Don’t drag Grace into this kind of thing anymore. Don’t blame me for not treating you as a friend if you do something stupid like this again!” warned Brian.

Patrick immediately grimaced. He was unlucky today. Both

Jason and Brian warned him one after another.

“Come on, I’ll send you home.” Brian took Grace by the hand and led her out of the room.

Out of the corner of his eyes, Jason glanced at Brian and Grace’s figures as they left. Then, he lightly ordered Patrick, “Ask all your staff to leave.”

“Huh? They…” Patrick pointed to the waitress with the injured finger and Mr. Lee, who was still on his knees.

“Let them stay,” Jason said lightly.

Therefore, Patrick asked the staff inside and outside the private room to leave.
