Chapter 598

She was almost choked by his embrace.

“I’m not… Not…” she said with difficulty.

Just as Grace thought she might faint from lack of breath, a sudden gust of force yanked her out of Brian’s arms. The next moment, she heard the pow of a punch in her ear. It was followed by a muffled snort, the sound of heavy objects. falling, and the crash of chairs and shelves.

Grace took a deep breath. Then, all she could see was Jason’s face.

It was Jason who had yanked her out of Brian’s arms! Grace stared blankly at Jason who was standing beside her, wondering why he was here.

With a gloomy face, Jason stared at Brian who had just been. punched to the ground by him.

Brian was now leaning uneasily against a row of shelves, surrounded by the mess from his crash.

Blood trickled down the corner of his lips. It was obvious that Jason’s punch had not been light.

“Do you know what you’re doing?” asked Jason with a ghastly pale face. His voice was as cold as the bone-chilling wind, and the mere sound of it would make an average person tremble.

However, Brian met Jason’s eyes with a smile on his face. “I know.”

“You know? You still did it when you knew? Do you want to turn the Hart family against the Reed family, Brian?” Jason said condescendingly.

Brian wiped the blood from his lips and slowly stood up. “Jason, you know I’ve been looking for someone, don’t you? Grace could well be the one I’m looking for.”

Jason’s pupils constricted suddenly. He stiffened in an instant. “What are you talking about?”

However, instead of answering him, Brian looked at Grace who was beside Jason. “You really don’t remember? You once saved a boy while wearing a similar floral dress. You could have left him behind, but you insisted on carrying him on your back and finding him a way to live! You wanted him to trust you, to believe that you could carry him down that hill.”

Grace looked at Brian in confusion. She did have a floral dress when she was a child, but she had no memory of what he was saying.

“That’s enough!” yelled Jason as he yanked Grace behind him.

Things were getting out of his control, and he was caught off guard by the speed. The man Grace loved right now was not Brian, but…

“Why, are you afraid? Are you afraid she’s really the one I’m. looking for?” said Brian as he stepped closer.

Jason pressed his thin lips together and stared at him with cold eyes.

He knew Brian was right. He was indeed afraid!

He was afraid Grace would find out she was the one Brian.

had been looking for… He was afraid she would find out the truth he had been keeping from her.

Grace felt her hand hurting as Jason was holding her with much force.

He held her hand so tightly that it… began to tremble. It was as if he was silently telling her of his panic.

She never thought that his hand would tremble like that.

Taking a deep breath, Grace raised her other hand and grabbed Jason’s trembling hand.
