Chapter 104

Grace sat on the chair in a daze when her phone suddenly rang.

She looked at the flashing phone number on her phone screen and felt cold all over. She swallowed and answered the call with trembling hands.

Grace controlled her voice and called out calmly. “Hello, Miss Adkins.”

“Grace, are you still in the villa? Have you put everything away?”

Grace subconsciously tightened her grip on the phone, her knuckles turning white. “No, I’m sorry.

Something came up at the last minute”

Louise paused for a moment. “Oh, I see. What’s the matter? Are you going back later?”

Im sorry, Miss Adkins. It’s a personal matter.”

Louise smiled. “Alright, we’ll talk about it when you come back.”

Grace hung up the phone and began to tremble. Louise had called to test me. The man from before must have called her and explained the situation to her, Grace thought.

When Brian came out of the office, what he saw was Grace looking like she was i When Nancy saw him walking over, she subconsciously stood up.

Brian gestured for her to keep quiet.

in a daze.

Brian stood in front of Grace. Grace did not even notice. Brian saw that her body was trembling slightly.

He reached out and held her fingers.

The cold touch made Brian frown. “Why is your hand so cold?”

Grace came back to her senses. She pulled her hand away and stood up. “Why are you here?”

Brian grabbed her wrist. “Come to my office.”

Grace was forced into his office. Grace looked at Brian’s hand and thought about how he must have held hands with Louise, hugged Louise, and even slept with Louise in bed. Grace felt a wave of nausea hit her stomach.

She struggled to break free from Brian’s grasp.

Brian stared at her in confusion. “Grace, what’s wrong with you?”

Grace rubbed her hands behind her back in disdain.

Her actions made Brian’s eyes turn cold. “What are you doing?”

“Nothing.” Grace said coldly.

Brian took a deep breath. He did not want to argue with her. He rubbed his temples and asked in a deep voice, “Why are you nearby “Your fiancée asked me to go to your new house to get rid of the formalin. I happened to think of Ms.

Patel, so I called her to pick me up.”

Brian narrowed his eyes and scrutinized Grace for a while. He did not seem to believe her words.

Grace was irritated by his gaze. He doesn’t believe me, no matter what I say or do. However, he trusts Louise unconditionally. Grace thought.

Grace thought. Even if Brian sees with his own eyes that Louise stabbed me with a knife, he will probably think that I forced her to stab mel This is the difference in treatment.

Grace asked irritably, “Why are you staring at me? Mr. Francis, do you think that you have a good eye for people and think that I’m lying?”

Brian’s eyes darkened It was not that he did not believe her. He just felt that her behavior was very abnormal. He felt that something had happened to her and she was hiding it from him.

Hearing her nasty tone, Brian became very impatient.

“Just because you wanted to see Ms. Patel, you called her and made her run out without even applying for leave?”

Grace thought that he was going to punish Nancy again. Grace moved her lips and said, “Yes! I lied to her and told her that it was an urgent matter, so she immediately rushed over. You can punish me if you want, but don’t blame Ms. Patel”

“What the hell happened?”
