Stella showed an affectionate expression as she spoke.

Pressing his thin lips together tightly, Brian stared at Stella as if in thought.

Stella’s heart was pounding. However, she showed grievance on her face and bit her lower lip as she stammered, “Brian, you don’t… believe me? Besides, it was you who came to me in the first place. Before that, I had no idea that the little boy I saved is the heir to the Hart family!”

Brian sighed. Yes, he was the one who found Stella based on all the clues, and the photos of Stella as a child looked exactly like the little girl he had met.

Those photos with the traces of time were not fake!

Therefore… Stella was really the little girl he was looking for, while Grace made up such a lie to save Chase Harper!

“Stella, I hope you’re not lying to me,” said Brian as he gently parted his thin lips.

“How could I possibly lie to you?” said Stella as she tried to calm herself down, fighting back the surge of fear.

If Brian and Grace became estranged or even fell out over Chase Harper’s incident as she had planned, then the position of Young Madam Hart would definitely be hers!

…

Grace’s head was in a mess after she left the hospital.

It turned out it was hard to find someone who would believe you unconditionally in this world! She had easily let her cousin take her place and even lied to Brian. Now, she was suffering the consequences.

However… Chase Harper should not be the one to bear the consequences no matter what!

Now, she knew what Stella was up to! Chase Harper’s incident was only a trigger.

Was Stella trying to use Chase Harper to pit her against Brian?

What should she do to persuade Brian to let go of his hostility toward Chase Harper?

Maybe she should try again and find a chance to talk to Brian one-on-one to explain the whole story…

After thinking about it for some time, her phone rang and interrupted her trance. Grace picked up the phone, and Kyla Corbyn’s voice sounded from the phone. “Grace, what’s going on with Chase Harper’s incident? Nelson keeps asking about Uncle Harper these days.”

“It’s difficult. I’ll think of a way and see if I can find evidence to prove his innocence,” said Grace. The odds were slim, but she would try.

“If there’s anything I can do, let me know,” said Kyla Corbyn.

“Okay,” replied Grace. After ending the call, she realized she had unconsciously walked to Reed Group’s office building!

She remembered coming here many times before, especially when she was a rider in Kyla’s small restaurant. There was a time when Jason liked to order a bunch of lunch boxes for her to deliver at noon.

Grace had no idea why she would unconsciously walk here. What was going on with her?

She wanted to turn around and quickly leave, but her stomach felt sick again.

Almost unconsciously, she leaned against a small trash can on the side of the tree-lined street and began to throw up.

She had also thrown up profusely when she saw Jason last time. Unexpectedly, she was throwing up like this again when she got to his company’s entrance.

Grace smiled wryly to herself, but the vomit came in fits and starts.

A security guard came over and said to Grace with a look of disgust on his face, “Why are you puking here? Our president’s coming back to the company later. If you throw up like this, it…”

Grace trembled a little. Jason was… coming?

“I’m sorry, I… I’ll leave at once,” Grace said with difficulty, her mouth full of the sour taste of vomit.

However, before she could pull herself together, the sick feeling returned and Grace threw up into the trash can again.

The security guard was secretly worried. Although the trash can was a little far from the main entrance and was at the tree-lined street, things would be bad if the president saw this.

However, he could do nothing while she threw up! The security guard could only stare anxiously, expecting the woman to leave quickly after she finished!

However, you could not always get what you wanted. While Grace was still throwing up, three cars suddenly drove up to the building’s entrance. The cars stopped, and someone got out of one of the cars.

“Master Reed, it’s Miss Cummins…” Terrence’s voice paused and he did not continue speaking. After all, Grace had become taboo to Jason.

Grace, who was throwing up, immediately froze when she heard Terrence’s voice.

If Terrence was here, then Jason should be…

However, she could not stop vomiting right now. Grace could only keep her head down and vomit, feeling as if she was about to throw up her whole stomach.

Therefore, a strange scene formed at Reed Group’s entrance. Grace was throwing up by the trash can while a security guard stood beside her. Not far away, Jason was standing where he was with his eyes on Grace. His face showed no joy or anger. Terrence, the driver, several company executives, and several security guards who came over all stood around Jason.

When Grace finally threw up to the point that she had nothing left to throw up and looked up somewhat weakly, she found that she… was being watched!

It was the first time she was being watched by so many people while she threw up.

Jason was also watching her!

Today, he looked grim and unapproachable in a black suit and matching turtleneck sweater.

Grace looked awkward and wanted to leave, but she had to go in his direction to take the bus home. Therefore, Grace could only lower her head awkwardly and take out a tissue from her bag to wipe the corners of her lips. She speed-walked, trying to leave this place quickly.

Jason did not move and stood where he was. The closer she got to him, the stronger Grace felt that she was being watched.

Just as Grace was about to walk around him, the residual sick feeling suddenly came back and she felt like throwing up again.

“Blaargh!” Grace could not help bending over and throwing up.

All of a sudden, the expressions of everyone around them changed. Those who did not know Grace just looked at Grace with a ‘she’s done for’ look. How dare the woman throw up in front of Master Reed?! Was she trying to kill herself?

Furthermore, some vomit had spilled on Master Reed’s shoes!

Only Terrence did not think so.

It was because… Even though Grace could not help throwing up in front of Master Reed, he never shied away.

Although Grace had become a taboo for Master Reed and he had been indifferent to Grace the several times they met each other, the woman still held a place in his heart!

Otherwise, how could Master Reed watch a woman throw up?

After throwing up for a while, Grace managed to suppress the sick feeling. She wiped the corners of her lips with a tissue quickly. Stumbling, she stood up straight and said to Jason, “I… I’m sorry.”

His deep peach blossom eyes only looked at her intently, but his eyes were no longer affectionate. They were indifferent. “You want me to forget about everything with only an apology?”

Grace was stunned. She felt that he was speaking about what was going on right now, yet it felt like it was about something else instead.

“I… I’ll clean the place up,” she said.

“And the shoes,” Jason said suddenly.

Grace was stunned for a few seconds, then she suddenly realized that what he meant was that she had just thrown up and the vomit had accidentally stained the upper of his shoes.

She quickly crouched down, pulled out a fresh tissue, and began wiping the upper of his shoes.

When he looked down at her crouching in front of him, it reminded him of the time when she had knelt before him and begged him to let her go.

He was looking down at her from the same angle!
