My gorgeous wife is an ex-convict (Grace) novel Chapter 222

Chapter 222 

As a result, what she thought was a secret was now exposed by him in such a straightforward and simple way. 

“You know why I didn’t expose you before? Because it doesn’t 

matter to me. You work so hard to act in front of me. I have to 

pay you some compensation, don’t I?” he said lightly. 

She looked stunned. Her face turned from pale to red as 

if someone had slapped her several times. It hurt and 

embarrassed her. 

“However, I don’t like people who act too much and take 

themselves too seriously.” Brian’s face darkened as he pulled 

the two million dollar watch off Evelyn’s wrist and fiddled with 

1. “I can make you a star, but that doesn’t mean you can do 

whatever you want. Otherwise, the bigger a star I make out of 

you, the harder you’ll fall.” 

As he finished his sentence, his fingers loosened. The watch 

fell heavily to the ground, causing fine cracks to appear on its 

surface. 

Evelyn gasped. Her body stiffened with fright. 

“Also, you don’t have to go to tonight’s party anymore,” Brian 

said before walking out of the lounge. Evelyn did not even have a chance to explain herself! 

Evelyn looked at the watch on the floor in confusion. It was worth more than two million dollars. It was the first time in her 

life that she had worn such an expensive watch. 

However, he had dropped it just like that! Was he telling her that he could always do the same to her? 

Even if the people outside praised her to the sky, to him, she was just something he could throw away at any time? 

Evelyn’s hands that were at her sides were clenched into fists. 

She held Grace accountable for all this. 

The party tonight was a gathering for Emerald City’s top elites. She had been looking forward to the party tonight and even specially ordered a dress from France to be flown in by air with the hope of impressing those elites tonight. It was a good opportunity for her to raise her popularity as well as 

build connections. 

However, because of Grace, she was unable to go to her party 

tonight! 

Grace would have to pay her back for this sooner or later! 

Naturally, Emerald City’s top elites’ parties also attracted several journalists, but not all journalists could enter such. parties. 

As a result, many journalists had to barricade themselves in front of the hall’s entrance to see if they could get anything of value.
