Ch. 1501..1510

My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict Chapter 1501-All this while, he had thought that Grace was not compatible with Young master Reed. However, the moment Grace chose death, he started to respect this lady.

It was not hard for one to fall in love, but only a few would be able to give up their lives for the sake of their loved ones.

“Young Madam loves you, Young master Reed! Even at her very last breath, she wanted you to live,” said Terrence.

Jason’s body trembled, and he said with a hoarse voice while choking up, “She loves me… Yes, she loves me! She really loves me! She loves me… But why didn’t I believe that before this?!” ‘Why? Why didn’t I choose to believe her back when she said she was willing to forgive me not for the sake of the children?’ He kept thinking that she did not really love him, or perhaps she did not love him enough.

However, she ultimately used her life to convey to him just how much she loved him!

“Young master Reed, Young Madam hopes that no matter what happens, you’ll still live. She loves you, and that’s the 2/4 reason she protected you by paying the price with her life. You must not let her down.” At that moment, Terrence was afraid his boss would not think rationally after enduring such a shock.

Then, he heard a hoarse voice say, “Terrence, if I lose Grace, what’s the point of me living?” Under the moonlight, Terrence saw the stunning face of the man who had the most authority and wealth growing tense because of the suffering he was enduring. His dark eyes seemed almost lifeless, just like a corpse.

Suddenly, Terrence had a feeling that if Grace really left the world, Young master Reed would become someone without a soul if he were to continue living.

Lina could not bring herself to believe that Grace had jumped into the sea. That day, they had been talking on the phone and even talked about the incident that took place during New Year’s. Yet, Grace had vanished now.

The police officers and Reed family were spending tremendous amounts of effort and had sent out many people to search for Grace. Nevertheless, they still failed to locate Grace’s whereabouts.

Even Martin Weiss had rushed to the scene and mobilized the 3/4 human resources he had to help out with the search.

Lina kept telling herself in her head that her best friend would not die just like that. ‘They haven’t found anything yet, right? Perhaps someone has already rescued her?’ However, deep in her heart, another voice was reminding her that her best friend had fallen from the cliff along with her car. Even if her best friend managed to free herself from the ropes that bound her at the eleventh hour and left the car from the sunroof, the possibility of surviving was way too low.

‘After all, if Grace is still alive, then why hasn’t she shown up after so many days? And no one reported to the police saying that she had been rescued either!

The police officers and the Reed family were looking for her at the site of the accident. News of this had shaken Emerald City hard. There were high rewards being offered as well. Even the ordinary citizens of Emerald City had come to know about this news.

On the other hand, Kyla and Nelson were anxiously waiting for updates on Grace’s whereabouts. Every day, Nelson would ask countless times whether Grace had been found. As for Kyla, she could only reply bitterly each time. “They’ll find her. Look, there are so many people looking for her. They’ll definitely be able to find her.” 4/4 “Is Aunt Grace dead?” Nelson asked at the entrance of the kindergarten. There was a worried look on his small face.

He had heard from the adults that there was a high chance Grace was already dead. Currently, the search was just to locate her corpse. Even though he was still young and was still rather muddled about matters regarding life and death, he still knew that once Grace was dead, he would not be able to meet her again!

He still wanted to meet Aunt Grace and wished for the day to never arrive. He still wanted to play with Aunt Grace and be a good brother to the babies in Aunt Grace’s tummy.

My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict Chapter 1502-“No.” However, the person who answered him was not Kyla but Martin Weiss.

Martin Weiss walked to the front of Nelson and said to his son, “She’s still alive.”

It was as if Nelson had yet to completely accept Martin Weiss. After seeing Martin Weiss approaching him, he subconsciously shielded Kyla as though his father might harm his mother. It was up to him to protect his mother.

He was just a four-year-old kid, yet he had his guard up.

The sight of it made Martin Weiss taste something bitter in his mouth, but he had no way to vent out his frustration, and neither could he complain about it. It was because it was his

fault that they had fallen to this state now!

At the very beginning, Nelson used to love him as well and would even show affectionate smiles to him. Nelson would

request him to carry him and ride on his neck, even greeting

him as ‘Daddy.

However, currently… Everything was different! It was all

because of his foolishness that made Nelson distance himself

from him.

2/4

“Rest assured, Daddy won’t hurt Mommy. No matter what happens, I’ll never do it again,” Martin Weiss muttered softly.

He knew that he might have to live the rest of his life feeling guilty.

Kyla held her son’s hand and turned around to head in the direction of the bus station.

Martin Weiss’s eyes glinted darkly. Then, he followed them.

The three of them, two at the front and one behind, walked straight ahead. When the bus arrived, Martin Weiss could not help himself and suddenly asked, “Do you… Do you have nothing else to say to me?”

Kyla turned around and looked at Martin Weiss faintly. “I’m

very grateful that you’re willing to help search for Grace, but regarding our past, I’ve nothing much to comment on.””

All she ever said to him these days was that she had nothing

to comment on.

When the bus had left far away, Martin Weiss was still standing in front of the station while daydreaming. The bitter feeling was still in him.

He had lots of things to talk to her about now, but she no longer wanted to talk to him.

‘However, at the very least… she’s still alive!

3/4

Perhaps her being alive was the greatest thing heaven could gift him.

Martin Weiss recalled the moment he saw the look on Jason’s face. That devastation and dispirited aura… He seemed to be using sheer willpower to hold down the fort.

It was completely different from how Jason seemed before. In just a short period, a man who had total control in Emerald City had become devastated.

Jason had great influence in Emerald City, and everyone was aware of it. No one ever thought that this man would be easily

defeated. However, once his woman went missing, it made this man utterly lifeless.

If they managed to find Grace but it was just her corpse, then Jason… would perhaps be no different than a dead person.

The huge empire of Reed group would just come crashing

down.

‘Will the future of Emerald City change?’ Martin Weiss sighed.

4/4

Time slowly passed as day after day went by. However, there was still no news about Grace. Despite the continuous expansion of the area of search, with them searching not just the sea but tMason Swansonty as well, everyone no longer held on to any ray of hope.

No one thought that Grace would still be alive. Now, it was just a matter of time before they spotted her corpse.

My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict Chapter 1503-

Terrence softly pushed the room door open and looked at Jason who was in the room. The man with the highest authority in Emerald City was currently lying on the ground in such an embarrassing state. His hands were clenching the clothes that Grace used to wear.

The floor was scattered with Grace’s photos that showed her at different stages in her life. There were photos of her from her adolescent days till her adulthood. She was smiling brightly in each of the photos.

However, the sweeter the smile was in the photo, the more it made others feel heartbroken.

“Young master Reed…” Terrence softly spoke, “The group still needs your leadership. There are a few upcoming projects that you need to approve as well. If you continue being like

this, then…”

“Still no news on Grace?” His hoarse voice interrupted Terrence with a mutter. However, he still did not open his eyes

and they remained shut.

It was as if at that moment, he was hugging the person he loved most. He could even smell Grace’s scent.

He was not willing to wake up from this fantasy. If he was awakened, only endless sufferings awaited him.

2/4

“No…” said Terrence. It had already been more than 40 days,

and the search party had put it bluntly when they said that her corpse was probably eaten by large fishes in the sea. They were no longer able to locate her corpse.

It was just that Terrence dared not tell his boss that.

He was afraid the moment he said it, Young master Reed would really go crazy.

“Grace, please tell me, where are you?” Jason hugged the clothes in his hands tighter. His face was almost buried in those clothes. “You said that you want me to live. But if I can’t find you, there won’t be any meaning for me to continue living. How am I supposed to keep living…”

“Wake up, Young master Reed! If Young Madam can really see

all of this in heaven and she sees you in such a state, it’ll only

make her sad,” Terrence could not help but say.

However, his statement had triggered Jason. The next second, Terrence was petrified.

It was because Jason’s eyes that were initially closed were now open and glaring straight at him.

In his dark eyes, bloodlust glinted as the man gave off a murderous aura!

3/4

“What do you mean she’s in heaven? She’s not even dead yet. She’s not dead, do you hear me?!” Jason abruptly got up and immediately beat Terrence to the ground.

His five fingers grasped Terrence’s neck. His stance was as if he was about to kill someone.

‘Is Young master Reed… trying to kill me?!’

A thought flashed through Terrence’s mind, and deep in his heart, he was feeling utterly regretful. He should have known that currently, Young master Reed was not in his right mind and could not tolerate any more surprising news.

He should not have said anything about Grace being in

heaven earlier. ‘By saying that, I was basically saying that Grace is dead. It’d be surprising if Young master Reed could

take it.

At that moment, he wanted to say something to make up for it but his neck was being grasped so tightly that he was unable to say a word.

Terrence thought he would be the most wronged person in this world if he ended up being choked to death like this.

4/4

At that moment, Young master Reed’s strength became surprisingly powerful. Terrence… was unable to free himself from Young master Reed’s grip.

At that instant, a baby’s cry was suddenly heard.

Jason’s body stiffened. ‘Who… Who’s crying there… His stiffened fingers loosened up. He turned around to look behind only to see that the butler was carrying a baby with a helpless expression. He was standing at the door of the room.

“This baby…” Jason looked at the crying baby with a blank look.

My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict Chapter 1504-Terrence felt his heart sink. ‘That urn… Does it mean… He dared not continue thinking about it. He could only turn his head away and look at Jason anxiously.

At that moment, it was as though Jason’s body was frozen. He did not move an inch and just stared at the urn in Secretary Wang’s hands. His eyes became red as though he was about to burn holes through that urn.

“Where’s… Grace?” No one knew how much time had passed before Jason finally spoke.

“Isn’t she just right in front of you?” Secretary Wang replied.

However, it was like Jason did not hear that reply and asked once more, “Where’s Grace?!” Secretary Wang suddenly let out a chuckle. “Young master Reed, don’t tell me you were expecting a pregnant woman who fell into the ocean from the cliff to have survived? You should consider yourself lucky for having one child survive.” His reply sounded very logical, yet it made Jason want to pounce right on Secretary Wang. He had just endured a tremendous shock.

2/4 Secretary Wang placed the urn in his hands in front of him. “Young master Reed, if you don’t mind having Grace’s ashes scatter all over the floor, then feel free to punch me.” Jason withheld his punch.

Then, his body started trembling. He snatched the urn, hugging it in his arms tightly.

‘How could it be ashes?!’ That year, when he held his father’s ashes, he had thought it was the most suffering he had ever gone through in his life.

However, right now, his hands were holding… Grace’s ashes. ‘It turns out that there are more terrible things in life!’ ‘Grace, my Grace! How could there only be her ashes left?! Her voice and smile are still vividly flashing in my mind!

‘I can still her hear talking to me!

‘I love you, Jay!

‘Jay I wish to give you a happy family. A happy family with you, me, and our kids.

‘In the end, she told me that I have to continue living.

Each comment of hers was vividly embedded in his mind.

3/4 “Grace…” Jason suddenly staggered and vomited a mouthful of fresh blood. Then, he felt as though his body had lost the strength to support himself. He dropped to the ground.

When he was falling to the ground, he grabbed onto the urn tightly. It was like he was holding onto the most precious thing.

Terrence and the bodyguards quickly stepped forward to grab hold of Jason. Terrence realized Jason had passed out cold.

“Is Grace really dead?” Terrence glared at Secretary Wang and asked.

Secretary Wang raised his brows. “If not, whose ashes are those?” Terrence held onto his breath. “Then… the triplets in her tummy…” “Didn’t I just mention it? He should consider himself lucky that one of them managed to stay alive,” said Secretary Wang.

Terrence was completely mad at Secretary Wang. “You must be satisfied now, right? When Young master Reed wakes up, he might even end up being crazy! Did Old master Reed want you to make his biological grandson go crazy and have the 4/4 entire Reed family destroyed?” “No, Old master Reed only hopes that Young master Reed, as the head of the Reed family, will not have any weaknesses. If you don’t wish for Young master Reed to wake up a crazy person, then just follow my orders,” said Secretary Wang with a carefree look.

My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict Chapter 1505-Everything played out according to Old master Reed’s plan. Perhaps, the only thing that surprised Old master Reed was that Grace would sacrifice her life.

Old master Reed had never thought of it as a possibility. However, he still prepared a survival route for Grace.

It was also because Old master Reed never thought of that. possibility that he only prepared a way for Grace to live, but he did not make further arrangements.

Hence, it had been up to Secretary Wang to arrange for that! Secretary Wang thought to himself, ‘I wonder if I’ve done the right thing or not with my arrangements?’ Old master Reed only wished for the head of the Reed family to not have any weakness. As for Grace, she was Young master Reed’s weakness.

It was just that in this bet, Old master Reed had lost to Young master Reed and also Grace.

‘If Old master Reed were still alive and saw this outcome, would he change his mind?

‘And the things that I’m doing now, would Old master Reed agree?’ Secretary Wang lowered his eyes and glanced at Jason who had passed out. He was feeling a little sorry for him.

2/4 “Young master Reed, if Grace really loves you, then one day in the future, she’ll appear in front of you once again.” Secretary Wang gently bent down and inched closer to the side of Jason’s ear. He then whispered to Jason who was unconscious, “If she doesn’t show up, then that can only mean one thing- she doesn’t love you enough.” And only time can tell you the answer!

After five years.

At a grand banquet where all the big shots of Emerald City had gathered, it was only natural that Jason, the chairman of Reed group, was the one gaining all the attention.

He was not even 33 years old, yet he had already taken charge of the great Reed family. Despite already having a son and an adopted daughter, there were still many prestigious ladies who wanted to seek his attention and be the madam of the Reed family.

In all the banquets that Jason attended, the prestigious ladies of the Emerald City would try all means to attend them as well. However, none of them managed to get any closer to him.

3/4 He was just like an icy mountain that would not get close to anyone. He would not allow anyone to get closer to him as well.

At that moment, at a corner of the banquet hall, Brian was looking at Jason who was not far away from him.

Jason was wearing a customized gray Western suit. He had his /hair neatly combed, and his stunning face had a faint smile on it. It was just like a perfect mask. It was totally different from the man five years ago who had been frantically searching for Grace.

‘Jason, do you really not care about Grace anymore?’ That year, when he received news of Grace’s death, he could not believe it and even ran to Reed Residence.

He could not bring himself to believe that Grace would just die like that.

However, in the end, he only saw an urn and Jason, who was like a crazy man.

“Why is Grace dead?” 4/4 “Yeah, why is she dead? It… should’ve been me who’s dead!” With a teary face, Jason replied with a smile, “I’m the one who should be dead… I should die… but why did she still want me to keep living?! Doesn’t she have any idea that it’s torture for me to live without her?”

My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict Chapter 1506-When facing Jason at the time who had been crying and smiling, it seemed that the man was completely engulfed in pain. All the things that Brian wanted to say were stuck in his throat and he could not say a single word.

Later on, he immediately took on the task of expanding to the overseas market for Hart Group and left Emerald City.

Initially, this task did not require his presence. However, he did not wish to stay in Emerald City. It was as though staying in Emerald City would make him feel suffocated and he would only be tortured there.

He would keep thinking of the past. If only he had not been jealous and ignored Grace… If he had not made her beg Jason for help instead… Perhaps she would not have ended up with Jason. Perhaps the events that happened later on would not have taken place either.

Perhaps back then, he should have just ignored everything and brought her away. Even if she were not willing to do so and even if she loved Jason, he should have disregarded everything and brought her away. Only with that could she still be alive in this world even if she found him disgusting or hated him.

1 2/4 At that moment, a figure walked toward Brian. Surprisingly, it was Patrick. He was also close friends with Jason. Brian had grown up together with them both.

Patrick approached him and looked at him in astonishment. “When did you come back?” “It’s been a few days,” said Brian lazily.

“Why didn’t you tell me that you’ve returned? If I hadn’t attended this banquet, I wouldn’t have known that you’ve returned,” Patrick muttered in dissatisfaction.

“Don’t you know it now?” Brian said faintly. His gaze then swept over to Jason. “I heard that he… adopted a daughter? He’s also very close to his adopted daughter’s mother?” Even though Brian had been overseas for the past few years, he was still aware of all the news regarding Jason.

He knew that Jason adopted a daughter two years ago. Hence, that adopted daughter, along with her mother, instantly led brand new lives.

There were a few people making a speculation. ‘Jason already has a son, there’s no need for him to adopt a daughter. Chances are, he has his eyes on that adopted daughter’s mother. She’s a single mother. He’s using the excuse of adopting that girl to get close to her mother!

To Brian, such speculation was rather hilarious.

3/4 Given Jason’s personality, if he had really taken a liking to that woman, he would not have used such a roundabout method. Besides, if that woman was willing to have her daughter be the adopted daughter of the Reed family, it would mean that she did not find Jason unpleasant.

‘Or perhaps, that woman is thinking of becoming the madam of the Reed family?

‘Besides, back then… Jason became a madman just for Grace’s sake. Can such a person still be able to love another?

‘As for myself…’ Brian gently swayed the glass of wine in his hand. Five years had passed and he was still unable to forget about Grace. He even kept dreaming about his past with Grace. Every single time, he would be jolted awake from his dreams.

‘It’s too painful to repeatedly experience the feeling of falling in mid-air and being unable to catch hold of anything!’ He was in such a wretched state, so what more Jason?

Patrick furrowed his brows like a busybody. “You know about this? A few other guys and I have even made a bet among 4/4 ourselves to see if this woman can win over Jason in the end.” Brian frowned and said with some astonishment, “You’re saying he has let go of Grace?” Patrick’s expression immediately became awkward. “It’s been five years. Any ordinary person would have moved on, right? Besides, in the past few years, Jason has never mentioned Grace. Even if we accidentally bring her up, it seems like… he doesn’t really care about it anymore.” Brian was shocked to hear that.

My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict Chapter 1507-Patrick added, “But we’ve been trying our best not to mention Grace in front of Jason. Even though Jason seems to not have too many feelings for Grace now, he still dislikes other people mentioning her name.”” “How could he just forget about Grace?!” Brian had a face of disbelief.

Patrick shrugged his shoulders and said, “Why not? She’s just a woman. People like Jason can get himself any woman he wants. Hmm… but there isn’t any other woman who can give birth to such a son.” Thinking of the boy in the Reed family made Patrick’s body tremble. He was just five years old, yet had such high intelligence. He recalled all those times he interacted with that brat, which only left him feeling aggrieved, and it made him mad.

‘Thank God he’s not my son. If he were my son, I’m afraid I, as his father, would be controlled by him.

‘It’s only Jason who can make that brat obey him!

Brian’s expression slowly became dark. ‘Just a woman? But it 2/4 was this woman who made Jason nearly go crazy. How could he just forget such a relationship?” Brian drank the wine in the glass in his hand. Then, he walked straight toward Jason.

“Hey, Brian!” Patrick could not help but call out to him. ‘Is Brian planning to head over to Jason to talk about Grace?

‘Could it be that for the past five years, Brian… has never forgotten about Grace?’ The thought of it made Patrick quickly go forth. He was afraid that the place would be thrown into chaos if Brian brought up Grace’s name to Jason.

After all, these two men nearly got into a fight because of Grace that year!

At that moment, Brian had already arrived before Jason. The few rich businessmen of Emerald City, who were initially having a conversation with Jason, immediately made a pathway when they saw Brian.

After all, Brian was a big shot in the entertainment industry! He was also a powerful character in Emerald City.

“I didn’t expect to see you here. When did you return?” Jason smiled as if he was just greeting an old friend of his.

3/4 “It’s not a coincidence. I knew you’d be joining tonight’s banquet. Hence, I purposely came here to see you,” said Brian.

“Oh?” Jason raised his brows. “See me? Do you need anything?” “You… Do you still have any feelings for Grace?” Brian asked without beating around the bush.

The smile on Jason’s face slowly faded. His dark eyes were staring straight at Brian who was in front of him. “I don’t think this issue has anything related to you, right?” “I just want to find out whether or not you still have her in your heart?” Brian said.

The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became tense. The guests in the surroundings immediately distanced themselves from that area as they were hoping not to overhear their conversation.

After all, compared to gossiping, they prioritized their lives more.

If they overheard things that they were not supposed to, perhaps they might not be able to continue surviving in Emerald City.

4/4 Jason squinted his eyes and suddenly let out a soft chuckle. “I think you used to have a crush on her in the past too, right? What’s wrong? Don’t tell me that woman still holds a place in your heart?” Brian’s expression changed for the worse. ‘That woman… How dare Jason use such words to describe Grace?!

‘What the hell is going on here? Besides, why did Jason use the words ‘I think’? Isn’t Jason aware that it’s a fact I used to have a crush on Grace?’

My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict Chapter 1509

“You…” Before Brian could speak, Patrick, who had rushed to the scene, quickly pulled on him. He said to Jason, “Jason, I think Brian is drunk, so he’s muttering rubbish. Please don’t take it by heart.” As he was speaking, Patrick quickly pulled Brian away from the scene.

Brian was not willing to leave. He said to Patrick, “Let go of me! There are still a few things that I need to clarify.” “It’s a rare opportunity that you’ve returned to Emerald City, so why even bother with this stuff? Why don’t I bring you over to a few fun places in Emerald City?” Patrick said.

“Patrick, please let go of him first. Since he has things to clarify, then allow him to do as he wishes,” Jason suddenly said.

‘Oh, Lord! Please don’t let them both fight it out with each other here!’ Patrick sighed. He had no choice but to let go of Brian.

Brian stared at Jason who was in front of him with a vague smile on his face. He felt that Jason was giving off a vibe that 2/4 he was unfamiliar with.

Perhaps the time that went by in the past five years was enough for them to develop a sense of unfamiliarity with each other.

In these few years, he had intentionally been avoiding Jason. He was afraid that seeing the latter would make him recall things about Grace.

“Do you still love Grace?” Brian hesitated for a moment before asking.

“No,” Jason answered straightforwardly. Then, he added casually, “Are you satisfied with this answer?” At that split second, Brian had no idea how he should answer that question. When Jason said he did not love Grace anymore, his eyes remained so cold as if he would not be bothered by anything.

‘Jason really… isn’t in love with Grace anymore?’ Brian just stood like a log and was absent-minded. ‘What… What on earth is going on here? What’s happening to Jason?’ Jason stepped out of the banquet, and Terrence opened the car door with respect. He then followed Jason into the car.

3/4 Terrence had some things to settle. Hence, he was not there to accompany Young master Reed during the banquet earlier. ‘However, judging from his expression, it seems like tonight’s banquet wasn’t pleasant!” Terrence felt perturbed and sat in the front. He tried guessing what had happened at tonight’s banquet. ‘Did some rich ladies bother Young master Reed again?’ Suddenly, he heard a question… “Back then, just how much did I love Grace?” Terrence nearly choked on his saliva and started coughing. Never would he have thought that his boss would suddenly ask such a thing.

“Er… About that… Did someone mention Young Madam… in front of you?” Terrence asked cautiously. He was observing Young master Reed’s expression at that moment through the rear-view mirror of the car.

Jason, who was sitting in the backseat, was frowning with his eyes lowered. He had on his usual expression, and no one could make out what he was thinking about.

“I met Brian today. From his expression, it’s as if me not loving Grace anymore is something that he finds extremely hard to believe,” Jason said casually.

4/4 ‘Indeed… it’s hard to believe!’ Terrence said to himself. Thinking back to that year, if he had not been worried about Young master Reed going crazy, he would not have allowed Secretary Wang to… Despite Jason being able to continue living, he had forgotten about his relationship with Grace.

In Terrence’s opinion, it seemed that Young master Reed had reverted to the way he was before he got to know Grace. It was like he did not love anyone and no one was able to catch his attention… ‘Oh, wait, there’s still an exception!

My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict Chapter 1509-“You…” Before Brian could speak, Patrick, who had rushed to the scene, quickly pulled on him. He said to Jason, “Jason, I think Brian is drunk, so he’s muttering rubbish. Please don’t take it by heart.” As he was speaking, Patrick quickly pulled Brian away from the scene.
