Old Master Reed calmed himself down. “You’ll suffer the consequences for caring too much about this woman one day.”
Jason pressed his thin lips together and said lightly, “Grandpa, such a thing can never happen again! Otherwise, I’ll make the Reed family go down together!”
With that, he took Grace’s hand and quickly walked out of the room.
Old Master Reed closed his eyes and murmured, “You’ll be sorry for this. You’ll be sorry! You’ll probably end up like your father! I… won’t let a woman destroy the Reed family. No way!”
Jason said nothing on the way back. He slightly lowered his eyes. His dark eyes made people wonder what was on his mind right now.
However, his hand was still clutching Grace’s hand, and his grip was getting increasingly tighter. It was when she cried out in pain. that he immediately came back to his senses and quickly let go.
“Does it hurt?”
“It’s alright. What was on your mind?” she asked.
His gaze fell on her face. What should he tell her? He had been wondering what she would think of him if his grandfather told her the truth about the accident. Would she still say she would never leave him as firmly as before?
He raised his hand, and his cool fingers touched her cheek. He pressed her face into his arms.
“You said you’ll always stay with me, and if you can’t do that, then I’ll… probably choose to die with you,” he muttered. There was a hint of uneasiness in his hoarse voice.
Grace could only smell Jason’s scent in her nose. What she could hear was not only his voice but also the beating of his heart.
It was unusually intense!
She had not expected him to say such threatening words to Old Master Reed. However, watching him defend her and the babies made her feel warm.
She seemed to have not experienced this warm feeling for a long time.
“That’s not going to happen because I’m not leaving,” she muttered.
For an instant, he only felt the unease in his heart fading gradually because of what she said.
Perhaps only she could give him peace of mind!
Stella’s birthday party was nothing short of bustling despite her hideous appearance trending online yesterday.
After all, the invitations had already been sent out long ago. While many people in the trending post’s comments section speculated whether Stella and Brian had fallen out, Brian did not clarify anything so everything was still undetermined.
Therefore, those who received the invitation attended. Many were here to see if Brian would come to the party and if Stella had fallen out of favor.
Stella hired a top makeup artist and applied lots of powder to cover up the bruises on her face, but the swelling had not gone down overnight. Even a skilled makeup artist could not make her swollen face look like it was not swollen.
There was nothing Stella could do but clench her teeth in anger at the thought of Grace and Jason.
She was wearing a custom-made purple gown. Since purple was Brian’s favorite color, she would naturally cater to his taste.
The guests Stella invited today were all top celebrities, directors, and owners of film and television companies, making the party a star-filled event that naturally attracted many journalists.
It was what Stella wanted. She wanted to clear her humiliation at her birthday party today and let everyone know that she was the woman Brian cared about!
The guests would deliberately mention Brian and ask if he would be here when they talked to Stella.
Faced with such questions, Stella could only fake a smile and say calmly, “Of course, he will. How could Brian not come to my birthday party? Brian even organized the birthday party today for me.”
However, as time went by, Brian never appeared, and Stella’s smiling face grew stiffer and stiffer.
It was almost time for the birthday party to start, and the people around her began discussing.
“Hey, could it be that Young Master Hart isn’t even planning on coming?”
“She wasn’t beaten by the crown prince yesterday, was she?”
“I knew it. How could the crown prince be interested in a woman like that? She’s unsophisticated and ugly. She can never be a socialite even no matter how expensive the clothes she wears are.”
“I heard that she got Young Master Hart’s support because she helped Young Master Hart when she was a child. But a person like her can’t become an upper cla** lady even if she marries a rich man.”
People were speaking more and more sarcastically while Stella only grew embarra**ed. She immediately took the microphone and told everyone that Brian was busy and might be late. “Here are some clips from the first drama I acted in. Take a look, and I hope to work with you someday.”
Stella stood under the big screen with a smile. She planned to use her ‘acting skills’ in the drama to give people who looked down on her a good slap in the face.
She wanted them to know that she had some acting skills apart from the resources Brian gave her.
Stella smiled as she waited for everyone to praise her.
Sure enough, when the screen lit up, everyone was surprised and stared intently at the screen.
Stella was proud, thinking the others were amazed by her performance, but Stella’s smile froze as soon as the sound played.
“Hey, help me carry those things to the car. I can’t carry them myself. Why don’t you get into the car first? Sorry for the trouble…” It was her voice! It was what she had said when she tricked Chase Harper to get into her car that day!
Stella immediately turned her head around and stared at the big screen in shock. It was not a clip from her drama. It was a candid video shot in her car back then!
‘When… was a mini spy camera installed in the car?’
However, Stella had no time to think about it. She only hurriedly shouted, “Hurry… Hurry up and turn it off! Turn the screen off!”
However, the staff operating the machine hurriedly said, “I… I can’t turn it off!” The machine’s buttons suddenly failed, and there was no way to turn it off.
“Then unplug the power source!” Stella said exasperatedly.
However, the video continued to play on the screen even after they unplugged the power source. In the video, Stella saw herself saying to Chase Harper, “It’s all because you know Grace. Consider yourself unlucky!”
With that, she tore her own clothes off and screamed on purpose. She quickly ran out of the car, leaving Chase Harper behind, looking flustered and with a reddened face.
At this point, anyone could see that Stella had deliberately set up the unfortunate man in the car!
