Falling For My Contractual Wife (Brian and Grace) novel Chapter 416

Chapter 416 

“Madam, why are you running away? Didn’t you want to settle this privately previously? I’m not so unreasonable as to send you to the police station. Tell me yourself, what’s wrong with the necklace?” Grace asked. 

The cleaning lady had low mental fortitude and was already trembling in fear. 

Afraid that she would say something wrong, Louise stood up and asked, “Madam, don’t be afraid. The necklace isn’t yours, right? Tell me, who gave you the necklace?” 

The cleaning lady took the hint. She swallowed and said nervously, “It’s… it’s Ava Adkins.” 

Grace narrowed her eyes and thought, ‘Ava Adkins is probably just a scapegoat!‘ 

A few days ago, she had asked Ava out for a chat. She could tell that Ava was afraid of Louise. 

However, Ava was not smart enough. This time, she was probably bewitched and threatened by Louise again before she went to help her. 

Louise pretended to be surprised. “You mean Ava Adkins? My sister?” 

The cleaning lady nodded. “I really don’t know anything. Mr. Francis, please spare me!” 

Before he could speak, Louise said to Brian, “Brian, since this matter was done by Ava, it can be considered my family matter. Leave this matter to me.” 

Grace smiled sarcastically. She thought, ‘Family matters? She is just afraid that Brian will dig deeper and find out that she is the mastermind.’ 

Brian looked at her with a dark expression. “This sister of yours has made the same mistake several times. How dare she cause trouble in my company?” 

Louise said in shame, “I know. As her sister, I can’t escape the blame for what Ava did. I’ll go back and teach her a lesson.” 

Then, she shouted, “Everyone, disperse!” 

Some went home, and some went back to work overtime. The cleaning lady took the opportunity to quickly slip away. 

Only Grace, Louise, and Brian were left in the office. 

Grace said to Brian with a distant attitude, “Thank you, Mr. Francis, for upholding justice for me.” 

Brian nodded slightly. Grace packed her things and left first. 

Louise held Brian’s hand and asked him with a smile, “Brian, why are you back early?” 

He turned to look at her and pursed his thin lips without saying anything. Louise’s heart skipped a beat. She thought, ‘Could 

it be that before he came in, he heard my suggestion to send Grace to the police station? 

There was still a gentle smile on her face as she asked gently, “What’s wrong, Brian?” 

Brian shook his head. “I’m back to spend the holiday with you. Let’s go and have dinner.” 

The two of them went downstairs together. Just as they drove out of the underground garage, they saw a thin figure standing by the roadside. 

She was waiting for someone.
