Chapter 123
Falling for My Contractual Wife
One piece of clothing had leaked out from the zipper of the suitcase. It was obvious that someone had flipped through it.
Grace hurriedly opened the suitcase. The bag and jewelry inside were all gone!
Grace thought of Daisy. Grace was in disbelief and quickly took out her phone to call Daisy The phone had only rung once before it was hung up.
Unwilling to give up, Grace dialed again. After ringing for a long time, the other party picked up t phone reluctantly.
âMom, where are you?â
âMe? Iâve already left. Iâll come and see you another day!â
âWait! Whereâs the stuff in my suitcase? Did you take it?â Grace questioned coldly.
Daisy clicked her tongue and asked impatiently, âWhat kind of tone is that?â
Graceâs heart sank. As I expect, her purpose for coming today is for that pile of bags and jewelry! Now that she has it, she is too lazy to even pretend!â Grace thought.
âDaisy!â Grace shouted sternly. âYouâre going too far!â
âHow am I going too far? You ate and dressed well while with the Francis family and didnât care the one about anything at home! You donât even care about your brotherâs life and death. Who why went too far?â
âEven now, you still donât know how to repent and continue to blame others!â Grace said. Graceâs heart ached.
âHmph! Iâve raised you for more than 20 years. Whatâs wrong with giving me some money? I owe more than twenty thousand dollars but you donât care. You have no conscience at all!â
the Grace could not help but shout into the phone, âYou deserve it for owing money! Who told you to gamble?â
âYouâ¦.â Daisy choked on her words.
Daisy said, âGrace, donât blame me for being heartless. Youâre young now and have the assets. If youâre smarter, you should spend more effort to hook up with a rich husband. Brian still has some feelings for you. Otherwise, he wouldnât have given you so much jewelry. If you want to live a good life, you can think of a way to be his mistress. Although you wouldnât have any status, at least you. would eat and live well!â
Grace did not expect Daisy to say something like that.
Dreame If you donât want to be Brianâs mistress, you can also spend more effort on that Dr. Varice from today.
Although heâs not as rich as Brian Francis, if you can get him, you can at least be considered. a legitimate wife. You would still have enough money to spend for a simple life in the futureâ¦â
âEnough! Daisy, youâre simply unreasonable!â
Daisy was so angry that she shouted on the phone, âYou heartless bastard! Iâm teaching you! Am I wrong about anything I said?â
Grace hung up the phone and sat on the ground dispiritedly.
She leaned against the suitcase and broke down crying, but she still tried her best to hold it in and not cry out loud.
The door was suddenly opened.
When Justin saw Grace lying on the ground, his eyes trembled and he immediately rushed over.
âGrace!â
Justin gently held her face, wiped the tears off her cheeks, and pulled her into his arms.
âWhat is it? Whatâs happened? Tell me, will you?â
Grace cried until she was out of breath. After a long time, she stopped sobbing.
âMy mother cheated me of what little assets I had. How could she be so heartless? How could anyone be so heartless to their children?â
Justin frowned. âWhat? She doesnât know that youâre pregnant?â
Grace shook her head. âIt would be terrible if she knew. She would probably use this as a threat to go to Brian, Grace thought.
âShe canât know.â
Justin looked at her for a long time and ruffled her hair. âDonât worry. Iâm here.â
