Ch. 151..160

That made her feel ill at ease. After all, he kept switching girlfriends. Everybody knew that he would get tired of whoever he was with every few months.

Evelyn was determined to capture his heart. She needed to get herself into his good books, as she wanted to continue staying by his side. The longer she stayed with him, the more things she could get from him.

After getting used to the comfortable life that he had provided her with, she didn’t want to go back to the kind of life that she had lived in the past.

Moreover… Evelyn glanced at Brian’s good-looking face from the side. He could easily capture the average woman’s heart, and she was no different.

She wanted to be close to him not only because of the good life that he could give her. She wanted him and desired to be intimate with him.

When his almond-shaped eyes met hers, her heart would throb. She felt stirred up and desired him.

She would use any means to get hold of this man.

“My friend is here today. Let me introduce you to him.” Brian’s voice sounded in her ears.

“Sure,” she replied submissively.

Needless to say, his friend would surely be wealthy and respectable!

However, she was stunned when she saw Brian’s friend!

“Is this man… Brian’s friend? He resembles… the man I saw in Grace’s rental apartment!” Brian’s friend’s attire was different and his bangs were styled back, revealing his smooth and full forehead. It was different from the man in the rental apartment who had had bangs covering his forehead.

“They may not be the same person!” As the thought flashed through her mind, Brian whispered to her, “Evelyn, this is Jason. You can offend anyone in Emerald City, but not him.

If you do that, even I will not be able to protect you.” 100 Although Brian was speaking to her nonchalantly, Evelyn felt thunderstruck.

Brian had been protecting her ever since they had gotten. together, and he had never mentioned not protecting her.

“Is this man Jason? The man who is well-known in Emerald City, but whose photo never appears online!?” Jason raised his brows lazily as he looked at Evelyn.

Evelyn was quick to react. She immediately put on a smile and greeted him, “Mr.

Reed, nice to meet you. I’m Evelyn.” Jason curled his lips and smiled derisively. “I see. It’s you, Evelyn. I hadn’t expected to meet you again.”

My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict Chapter 152-A shiver suddenly ran down Evelyn’s spine. “He’s… is he…” “Jason, do you know her?” When Patrick heard Jason’s comment, he found it strange. Evelyn was a third-rate actress and it was unlikely for her to be acquainted with Jason.

“Yes. We’ve met once before,” Jason replied flatly.

Evelyn widened her eyes, her heart almost jumping out of her chest. “He’s… the man who was living together with Grace!” Back then, she had reckoned that he had met Grace in prison!

Evelyn had not expected him to be Jason, the man who called the shots in Emerald City!

She almost fainted. “What’s happening? Why was Jason living with Grace in the run-down rental apartment?!” Brian was surprised as he looked at Jason and Evelyn. He then asked, “Evelyn, I never heard you mention that you knew Jason.” Evelyn shivered. She smiled wryly and said, “I didn’t know it back then… I mean, I didn’t know that he was Mr. Reed.” After saying that, she apologized to Jason, saying, “Mr. Reed, I’m sorry for having offended you previously. That was all a misunderstanding.” However, Jason ignored Evelyn. He looked at Brian and said, “In the future, don’t bring this woman to me. I don’t want to see her.” When Evelyn heard that, her face turned pale and she dared not say a word.

A light flashed through Brian’s eyes and he looked bewildered.

After Brian left with Evelyn, Patrick walked over to Jason eagerly and asked, “Has Brian’s new girlfriend offended you?” Jason merely lifted the half-full glass of wine in his hand and knocked it back.

After seeing Evelyn, Jason thought of Grace. If she had stayed by his side, she could have enjoyed a better life and would not have had to continue doing the dirty and tiring job of being a sanitation worker. She would no longer have had to be at the mercy of others, but… she had turned him down.

She had seemed… disgusted when he touched her.

He had been telling himself that she was just like any other woman and he did not have to care about her. However, he was becoming more and more frustrated at that thought.

As for Evelyn, she looked at Brian, feeling ill at ease as she asked, “Brian… have I offended Mr. Reed? He…” “In the future, steer clear of him,” Brian said. He sized Evelyn up and asked, “How did you meet Jason?” “I met him at my sister’s rental apartment, but Mr. Reed wasn’t dressed like this.

As my family and my sister were having a dispute back then, we had a conflict with Mr. Reed.” Evelyn tried to make it sound as though it was nothing serious as she was afraid that Brian would dump her upon discovering that she had offended Jason.

Brian was surprised to hear that. “A rental apartment? A sister? Could that be the same woman Patrick told me Jason. left Reed Group behind to save on Thanksgiving?” “I didn’t know that he was Jason. If this will affect you, I can apologize to him. Brian, don’t be angry with me. I will be good and behave myself,” Evelyn said. Her eyes turned misty and she looked pitiful.

Brian lifted his hand and touched her lips gently. This was a gesture that he was fond of doing.

He favored her lips and had told her that they were attractive. However, it was strange that he had never kissed her.

My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict Chapter 153-Even after touching her lips, he would use a clean handkerchief to wipe his fingers, as if she was dirty.

Evelyn was puzzled by his actions, but she dared not ask him about it.

“You don’t have to apologize to me. You’re my girlfriend and you only need to care about me. As for anything else, you don’t have to bother about it,” Brian said.

His actions were gentle, as if he was stroking something precious. However, his voice sounded cold and aloof.

At times, Evelyn felt that she could not understand him. She had no idea what was going on in his mind or what his desires were.

“I… understand,” Evelyn stuttered.

Brian withdrew his hand and, as usual, took out his handkerchief to wipe his fingers.

Evelyn bit her lip. She was determined to capture his heart one day and become his final girlfriend. She wanted to marry him in the future!

That was the vow that she had secretly made to herself!

The holidays ended in no time. Grace went back to the Sanitation Service Center to work. Many of her colleagues had read about the news that someone had thrown eggs and vegetables at her outside the hospital, and they had started to gossip about her.

“Grace, don’t get us into trouble. What if someone comes to our Sanitation Service Center and throws eggs and vegetables at us?” “That’s right. My parents are worried about me because they know that my colleague is an ex-convict!” “Lily has so many fans. Back then, Grace knocked her sister down and killed her. Lily was close to her sister, and many of her fans felt sorry for her. I dare not imagine what other actions they might take in the future. It would be terrible if we got hurt because of you.” The staff in the Sanitation Service Center spoke derisively to Grace.

However, she kept quiet and shrugged it off. After all, she badly needed the job for her own survival. If she was dismissed, it would be tough for her to find another job.

www Claire said to her, “Ignore these people. They can’t wait to see you leave. It won’t be easy to get a new job now, and even if you manage to find one, your new colleagues there will gossip about you too.” “I know,” Grace replied. She then lowered her head and focused on sweeping the streets.

Suddenly, someone hurried in her direction and knocked into her. She staggered back a few steps, almost falling to the ground.

After the man had knocked into her, he left hastily without apologizing to her.

“Grace, are you okay?” Claire asked as she went over to Grace after seeing what had taken place.

“I’m fine,” Grace said, shaking her head. Although the impact had been great, she was not injured.

“That man was so rude. He did not even apologize after knocking into you!” Claire said angrily

My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict Chapter 154-Grace was used to this kind of person. They looked down on sanitation workers, and even if they knocked into one, they would push the blame on them.

“Forget it, Claire, it’s no big deal,” Grace said as she and Claire continued sweeping the streets. After knocking off from work, Grace changed out of her uniform. She found a silver bracelet in one of her pockets.

“When did this bracelet get into my pocket?” Grace was puzzled. As she was on the night shift, not many people were around. She put away the bracelet and decided to put it at the Lost and Found Counter the following day.

When she got back to the rental apartment, it was dark and quiet.

In the past, when she got back from her night shift, the house had been bright because Jason had always been waiting for her. However, when Grace switched on the light, the room was empty. She could not help smiling wryly.

When she lay in bed, she took out the bracelet. It must have belonged to a child and the design looked ordinary. She recalled that she had had a similar one when she was young.

She wondered how the bracelet had ended up in her pocket. Suddenly, she remembered the man who had knocked into her during the day. This bracelet could belong to him.

However, at one glance, she saw that the bracelet looked worthless. She wondered if the man would come back to look for it. Grace let out a sigh and decided not to dwell on it. She would report it to Sanitation Service Center the following day.

She was not aware that the man who had knocked into her had been besieged by a group of people in a hotel room. He was beaten up and being interrogated by them.

The man regretted his actions. He wouldn’t have stolen the bracelet from Brian if he had known that he would get into serious trouble. From Brian’s outfit, he had reckoned that he was rich. He had thought that he was fortunate to have caught such a big fish.

“Sir, I have no idea about the bracelet that you mentioned.

I… I did see the bracelet and put it in my pocket. I swear that I have no idea why it is not in my pocket anymore!” the man cried as he knelt in front of Brian, his face covered in blood.

Brian sat gracefully on the sofa, his handsome face looking cold as he said, “Where is the bracelet? You can ask for anything, but you have to return the bracelet to me. If you don’t, I will break your hand.” The man was scared out of his wits. If he had known that the bracelet was so important, he wouldn’t have taken it and put it in his pocket. He had left in a hurry and knocked into someone… Suddenly, the man recalled something and said immediately, “I remember it now! Someone must have picked up the bracelet… I… I knocked into a sanitation worker who was sweeping the floor earlier. The bracelet must have dropped out of my pocket and the sanitation worker could have picked it up.” The few men who were holding the man down looked at Brian upon hearing that.

“Mr. Hart, what should we do…?” “Check. Go and find out where the sanitation worker is!” Brian said coldly. The bracelet had been his only consolation all these years and he had to get it back by all means.

He was willing to pay any price to get it back!

He had a feeling that he would never be able to find the person if he were to lose the bracelet!

Suddenly, Grace woke up from her sleep. The room was bright as she had kept the lights on.

My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict Chapter 155-She reached out for her cellphone to look at the time. It was 3 a.m. and she could sleep for a few more hours.

Just as she was about to shut her eyes, she suddenly sat bolt upright. The next instant, she stared in disbelief, her eyes wide open.

A man was sitting by the dining table in her rental apartment, playing with the silver bracelet that had been in her pocket.

Under the light, the man looked like a painting that been drawn on a piece of rice paper. His brows were thick, and his nasal bridge was high. His lips were thin, and he had a pair of beautiful phoenix eyes. When he curled his lips and looked at her, he seemed cold and aloof.

As he looked at her, Grace felt as if he was a mirage.

“Is this man real? Am I… dreaming?” “Are you awake?” The man’s voice broke the silence in the room.

Grace suddenly came to her senses and realized that she was not dreaming.

Everything was real!

“You, who are you? Why are you in my apartment in the middle of the night?” Grace tried her best not to scream. She quietly stretched out her hand to pick up her cellphone so that she could call the police when the man was not watching her.

However, before she could get her hands on the cellphone, the man said, “If you’re thinking of calling the police, you can forget about it. If I wanted to harm you, I would have done so while you were sleeping.” Grace froze at his words. The man seemed to have read her mind.

“Why are you…” “This is my bracelet,” Brian said as he stood up. He slowly made his way to the bed and said, “It was stolen today.” “I didn’t steal it. When I saw it, it was already in my pocket,” Grace explained immediately.

“I know you didn’t steal it,” Brian said. “If it was you, you wouldn’t still be here in one piece.” Grace bit her lip and grabbed hold of the quilt tightly.

This man seemed cold and dangerous. She wondered when he had entered her rental apartment without her realizing it.

When she saw him playing with the bracelet, she believed that he had been there for some time.

However, she hadn’t noticed it.

After thinking for a while, she concluded that he must be something special. No ordinary man could search her out and get into her apartment unnoticed. When the man got near her, she noticed that his attire was high quality. His suit and wristwatch were branded and expensive. However, she found it puzzling that this kind of man would barge into her apartment for the sake of a cheap bracelet!

My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict Chapter 156-“Wait…” Grace suddenly shivered. She looked at the man with even more confusion. How… how had he known that the bracelet was with her?

She had found it in the pocket of her work uniform when she had gotten off work.

However, this man had known that the bracelet was with her. Then, he had even found out where she lived and silently barged in… To be able to do such a thing, who on earth was this man?

“You picked up this bracelet, what reward do you want? As long it isn’t too excessive, I can give it to you.” Brian lowered his head and looked down at the woman in front of him.

He had planned to leave directly with the bracelet, but when he saw the woman’s sleeping face, he had decided to remain in the house.

He thought, maybe, he wanted to see what this woman looked like when she opened her eyes.

Now, she had really awoken. She had a pair of extremely beautiful almond eyes, the deep and dark pupils clearly contrasting with the sclera. The eyelashes that curled upwards added a bit of charm to this pair of eyes.

It was just that when this pair of eyes opened, the gaze that emerged was filled with a kind of lifeless apathy that didn’t match her age.

It was as if she had gone through too much hardship and had already lost the vibrance that she ought to have. Now, she was instead resigned to her fate.

Grace did not know who the man in front of her was. However, he seemed to have a similar temperament to Jason.

In her current situation, she could not afford to provoke such a person.

“This bracelet just happened to be in the pocket of my work uniform. It can’t be said that I picked it up, so you don’t need to reward me,” Grace said.

Brian raised his eyebrows. He hadn’t expected that a woman who lived in such a small house and did cleaning work would directly refuse the reward he offered.

“Even if I could give you a reward that could change your life, you wouldn’t want it?” he said.

Grace could not help but think of what Jason had said to her back then. These two people were indeed very similar. Both of them seemed to be able to easily change other people’s lives.

However, this was her life. She didn’t want to be controlled by others. She just wanted to be the master of her own fate.

“No, thanks. This bracelet has been returned to its rightful owner and I didn’t do anything to help,” Grace replied.

Brian’s face sank slightly and he tilted his body a little. His face drew close to hers, and his pair of pitch-black phoenix eyes seemed to be scrutinizing her.

Grace subconsciously tightened her grip on the blanket covering her body and she glared at the man in front of her.

She did not know who this man was or what he wanted to do. However, he had been able to enter the room silently at night easily. If he really wanted to do something to her, she might not be able to stop him at all.

The two people looked at each other in silence. After a long while, the man’s cold and indifferent voice finally sounded again. “Are you saying that to get more benefits? Are you playing hard to get?” She was stunned for a moment and then said, “I don’t have that ability, and I can’t play hard to get with you. What’s more, I don’t even know who you are. Since you have obtained the bracelet, can you leave? I have to go to work early in the morning, and I want to sleep for another two hours.” He slowly straightened up, holding the small silver bracelet with his slender fingers. As his gaze fell on her face, he opened his thin lips and said lightly, “I’m Brian. Now, you should know who I am.

My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict Chapter 157-Grace had heard Brian’s name before.

After all, the Hart family was in charge of all kinds of businesses within the entertainment industry. Some even said that in the entertainment industry, whoever Brian wanted to be successful would become successful. If Brian wanted to suppress someone, then they would never be able to be successful for the rest of their lives.

From this, one could tell how influential Brian was in the entertainment industry.

When she had been dating Sean, she had once heard Sean mention him.

Although the Stevens family was also considered rich and powerful in the city, compared to the aristocratic Hart family, the Stevens family was lacking.

Sean, of course, was not qualified to make friends with Brian.

As for the other “hearsay”, it had come from the mouths of those gossipy women in the Sanitation Service Center. It was said that Brian was indifferent and difficult to get along with, but he never was short of girlfriends.

He had also made all of his girl friends famous, but once they broke up, he would be very decisive and brisk, even capable of being cold-blooded and ruthless.

However, although he was the Crown Prince of the entertainment industry, he had never two-timed. When he was in a relationship with a woman, no matter how short the time was, during this period of time, he would only associate with that woman and would not be unfaithful.

This was also the reason why he was not cursed on the Internet.

After all, they were adults, and they were all consenting. It could even be said that the women who had been in a relationship with him had all gained great benefits.

Therefore, there were also many women who dreamed of having a relationship with Brian. After all, they could gain a lot from it, and if they were doted on like a treasure by a handsome man, even if it was shortlived, it would be like a firework’s moment of brilliance.

Grace had never expected that it would be Brian who had barged into her rental apartment in the middle of the night. Furthermore, Brian had barged in just to retrieve an unremarkable silver bracelet.

It seemed like this silver bracelet was very important to him.

“Alas, the Crown Prince and Emily broke up again. It seems that he’s now dating a third-rate celebrity.” Grace had been returning her tools while the girls in the Sanitation Service Center were chatting about Brian’s gossip.

“Who’s that third-rate celebrity? She actually defeated Emily?” “She hasn’t been exposed yet, that’ll probably take a few more days. But it hasn’t been too bad for Emily, if she hadn’t been dating the Crown Prince, she wouldn’t have become a first-rate star so easily! So thinking about it, she has also gained a lot.” “I really hope that I can meet the Crown Prince one day. If he likes me, even if he only wants one night with me, I’ll be willing.” “In your dreams.” The young girls were laughing and gossiping as they browsed the online forums.

Grace did not know what they would think if they knew that she had met Brian in the middle of the night.

“Grace, what’s wrong with you?” Claire said.

“Nothing.” She came back to her senses, returned the tools, and changed out of her work uniform.

When she put on her casual clothes, she looked at the scar on the palm of her right hand. This was from the night of Thanksgiving. In order to wake herself up, she had gripped some broken pieces of mirror. Fortunately, it had not injured the tendons of her hand.

My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict Chapter 158-After a few more days, the scar on her palm would fade away, just like the memory of what had happened between her and Jason. As time passed, it would disappear as if nothing had happened.

Grace gently balled her hands into fists and walked out of the Sanitation Service Center.

Before she could get very far, a silver-grey Porsche blocked her way. A slender figure got out of the car. It was the protagonist who had been being discussed by the girls in the Sanitation Service Center-Brian.

“Is there something wrong?” Grace asked.

“I want to treat you to a meal to thank you,” Brian said. He directly opened the passenger seat door, clearly indicating that he wanted Grace to get into the car.

“I didn’t do anything to help you with your bracelet, so you don’t need to thank me,” Grace said, raising her foot to try to get past him.

However, just after she had taken a step, he suddenly raised his hand and blocked her way. His phoenix eyes were fixed on her, but his gaze seemed to be concealed behind a facade, flashing with a kind of look that she couldn’t understand.

“I’m not used to owing favors, so I must treat you to this meal,” he said in a tone that could not be refused, the look in hist phoenix eyes becoming deeper.

Grace bit her lip slightly. A person like Brian probably hadn’t been rejected by others before. The more she refused, the more likely it was that the other party would become more and more persistent. It was better for her to go and eat this meal.

Anyway, if he really wanted to do something bad to her, he would have already done so last night!

Grace did not say anything else and sat in the passenger’s seat.

Brian closed the door, walked back to the driver’s seat, and drove off.

Along the way, Grace could not help but smile bitterly as she looked out at the view that was constantly flashing past. Back when she had just graduated from college and become a lawyer, she had felt that everything could be reasoned out.

However, after experiencing so much, she realized that sometimes, it simply depended on whether the other party wanted to be reasoned with.

If the other party didn’t want to listen to reason, then she wouldn’t even have a chance to reason with them.

“What are you thinking about?” Brian’s voice suddenly sounded from within the car.

“I’m thinking about that silver bracelet. It seems to be of great importance to you,” she said casually.

A faint smile appeared on Brian’s indifferent face. “Mm, it’s very important.” “Since it’s so important, will the person who stole it yesterday have a miserable end?” she asked.

He glanced at her from the corner of his eyes and said, “Well, yes, quite miserable.” His voice was very light, but she thought, “I’m afraid that the person who stole from him really will not meet a good end.” The car stopped in front of a restaurant.

Grace knew that this restaurant was rather famous in Emerald City. However, it was very difficult to book a table, and the prices were very high. Eating a simple meal would cost the equivalent of an ordinary person’s salary of one or two years, let alone if one were to order some special dishes. Ordinary people could not afford it at all.

However, for a person like Brian, coming here for a meal was probably an extremely common occurrence.

The two of them entered the restaurant. Brian took Grace into a private room.

“What would you like to eat?” Brian asked.

“Anything is fine,” Grace replied.

Finally, it was Brian who ordered. With a full table of dishes, the spread was unusually abundant.

My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict Chapter 159-As Grace ate the dishes, she still could not figure out exactly what Brian wanted to do. Did he really just want to thank her, so he was treating her to a meal?

“Miss Cummins used to be Sean’s girlfriend?” Brian suddenly asked halfway through the meal.

Grace’s hand suddenly froze on the chopsticks. She lowered her head and said, “Yes.” Indeed, people like him would have already investigated her thoroughly before having a meal with her.

“The reason you broke up with him was because of the car accident that year?” he continued to ask.

“So what if it was?” She lifted her head and asked back, “Mr. Hart, the person whom I knocked down and killed back then. was Jason’s fiancée. In Emerald City, who would dare to associate with me?” “I dare,” he said.

Grace was stunned. She looked at the person in front of him with a surprised expression, and her mind suddenly went blank.

“What do you think? Do you want to try being with me?” he asked.

Hearing these words, not only did Grace not have any ambiguous feelings, she felt her scalp go numb. The man in front of her, with a distant and indifferent expression on his face, had said these words as if she was just an object to him.

Just an object that he had taken an interest in.

“As far as I know, Mr. Hart, you seem to have gotten a new girlfriend just recently,” she said, referring to the gossip she had heard at the Sanitation Service Center earlier.

“Yes, there’s indeed a woman, but if you go out with me, I will break up with her,” he said in a serious tone.

What was he joking about!? Grace suddenly had a funny feeling. It seemed that this Crown Prince was really casual when it came to getting into a relationship with someone.

“Why?” She was puzzled. When it came to her appearance, it had been a few years ago, she wouldn’t have looked too bad. However, after three years of imprisonment, in addition to facing the sun and wind every day and neglecting proper maintenance, there was really nothing about her that could attract anyone’s attention.

“Your face looks pretty good. I like it,” he said.

“My face?” She couldn’t help touching her face. She didn’t think that her face was any better than those of the actresses in the entertainment industry.

What’s more, there were a variety of beautiful actresses who were willing to be his girlfriend.

“Especially your eyes,” he said. “Your eyes are very beautiful, yet your gaze is too bitter and too heavy.” As he said this, his eyes kept staring into hers. “What do you think? Do you want to date me?” He appeared casual, but the look in his eyes seemed to penetrate her, making her unable to breathe.

Grace stood up abruptly. “I’m going to the ladies room.” She looked for an excuse and then left the private room in a hurry.

Brian gently lowered his eyes, a hint of playfulness appearing around the corners of his lips.

In a daze, Grace looked at her own face in the washroom’s mirror. She had not applied makeup on her thin face. It was only acceptable at most. As for her eyes, she had never thought that her eyes were beautiful. At most, they were pleasant-looking. They were definitely not the kind of eyes that would stun people.

Could it be that Brian had truly taken a fancy to her? Or was this just a whim of his? Just like Jason, he felt that she was novel and wanted to play a game?

When she thought of Jason, Grace could only feel a stabbing pain in her heart once again.

Her Jay was no longer there. That man in her heart, who had been so pure and clean, was no longer there.

Shaking her head, Grace had just walked out of the washroom when someone suddenly rushed in front of her, raised a hand, and slapped her.

My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict Chapter 160-“Pah!” A crisp slapping sound rang out.

Due to how abrupt it was, Grace had no time to react. It was not until she felt a burning sensation on her face that she realized what had happened.

“You must be that vamp!” the other party said hatefully. “I hadn’t been expecting you to ask Brian to bring you to a place like this for dinner. You’re just a third-rate celebrity. Do you really think you’ll be able to secure the position of being.

his girlfriend? Let me tell you, it won’t be long before you’re dumped by him!” Grace looked up. Surprisingly, she recognized who the person. who had slapped her was!

Emily had originally been a second-tier actress who often played some supporting roles. However, after getting together with Brian, she had become famous with his support.

Some had previously wondered if Emily would be Brian’s last girlfriend. After all, Emily had been the one to stand by Brian’s side the longest.

However, unexpectedly, Emily had ultimately ended up as just another exgirlfriend.

“You’ve mistaken me for someone else!” Grace said.

“I’m not mistaken. You came here with Brian tonight, didn’t you?” Emily looked at the woman in front of her jealously. She felt that the woman in front of her couldn’t be compared to herself. Even her clothes were incomparably shabby. “How long do you think you can stay with Brian? If he dumped me today, he could also dump you tomorrow!” Grace looked at her coldly. “It’s none of my business whether he wants you or not, but the relationship between me and him is not like you think, so please apologize to me!” She suddenly did not want to endure it anymore. She had had to endure everything when she had been facing Jason, and she was having to endure everything now she was facing Brian. However, now that she was encountering this unexpected misfortune, she did not want to suffer the slap in vain.

Even if she was now on the lowest rung of society, and even if prison had worn away all of her sharpness and edges, it did not mean that she could be beaten and scolded as others pleased.

If she was how she had been back then… “Apologize? You want me to apologize to a shameless vamp who hooks up with another person’s boyfriend? Dream on! Don’t think that Brian is yours. He won’t touch you at all. You’re just someone who can be replaced at any time!” Emily said jealously.

At this time, she didn’t look as gentle and quiet as she had ordinarily on TV and in the news. She looked like a shrew swearing on the street.

At this moment, some people who were going in and out of the washroom also stopped to watch the scene.

Some of them had already recognized that one of the women. was the popular star, Emily.

However, those who could come to this restaurant for a meal were not ordinary citizens. No one took out their phone to take videos or photos.

“You’re not going to apologize?” Grace asked.

“Do you need me to say it multiple times? How can I apologize to someone like you, you…” Before Emily could finish her words, Grace suddenly raised her hand and slapped her on the cheek.

“Pah!” The crisp sound rang out again.
