Chapter 78
Falling for My Contractual Wife
When Louise saw the injuries on Graceâs body, she narrowed her eyes. A trace of ruthlessness flashed across her eyes.
Ava walked in front of Grace and walked around her with her arms crossed. âWow, wow, wow. If it wasnât the famous Grace. I was wondering who was back. So itâs you, bitch! Why are you covered in injuries? Did Brian hit you?â Grace lowered her head and did not speak, Melvin looked at her in surprise. âIs it really Mr. Brian who gave you all these Injuries?â
Ava laughed. âBrian brought her back. If he didnât beat her up, who did? So tell me, did you get beaten up by Brian because you seduce him shamelessly?â Grace pursed her lips and did not say a word. Ava took her allence as a yes. She got happier and even imagined how Brian beat Grace up.
Louise pretended to blame Ava for being rude. She walked over and asked with worries, âGrace, how did you end up lika this? Youâve only been away for a few days. Did Brian really hit you?â
Grace shook her head. âThank you for your concern, Miss Adkins.â âItâs hot here. Letâs go Inside first,â
Louise held Graceâs hands and helped her walk in, Grace pulled her hands back without saying anything. Ava snorted contemptuously and muttered softly, âBeing so close to the maid, you really canât hide the humble origin in you, can you, Louise?â
Grace walked to the living room with Louiseâs help. Before she could leave for her room, Ava stopped her. âStop right there, Grace. Wait in the living room! I need you to do something for me.â Grace secretly clenched her fists and stood in the living room. Ava couldnât help but smile. She had never felt so happy before. Seeing what Brian had done and said to Grace, she was positive that Grace was no longer protected by anyone! From now on, she could trample on her at will!
Ava went to her room and came out with a pile of clothes. âWash all my clothes! They are all branded and made of fragile materials. They canât be machineâwashed. Handwash them carefully! You canât afford any of them to be damaged!â
Ava said arrogantly. When she turned around, she saw Brian! Avaâs heart skipped a beat. She took a deep breath. âBrian, 1- just want her to wash my clothes.â Brianâs eyes were gloomy. His gaze lingered on Grace for a moment before he turned around and went upstairs without saying anything.
Ava was overjoyed when she saw Brian leave. She was even more certain of what she had just thought. Perhaps the more she messed with Grace, the happier Brian would be. Thinking of this, Ava became even more arrogant and ordered Grace around.
Grace had never expected Brian to speak up for her. She knew that he was already being kind to her by not strangling her and not ending the contract immediately. Grace silently carried the clothes to the laundry room. Brian took the documents from upstairs and left immediately. He completely ignored the fact that Ava bullied Grace.
By the time Grace finished washing Avaâs clothes, it was already past three in the afternoon. She had just returned to her room to rest a little when Ava called her out again. âClean my room! Hurry up! Donât dawdle!â Grace was already injured. After washing Avaâs clothes for a few hours, her entire body was aching.
She dragged her tired body to Avaâs room. Ava was lying on the bed and playing with her phone. She was playing games and eating candles at the same time. Grace was sweeping the floor with a broom.
Just as she was done, Ava threw the candy wrappers to the ground.
