Five Years Wasted Now They Beg Her Back novel Chapter 545

He looked at Grace, a trace of pleading in his eyes.

"Grace, you are innocent, and Lottie is innocent too. If there really is a skeleton in Mom's closet, then that problem... only applies to me."

Hearing this, Damien raised an eyebrow slightly.

He had seen far too many men like Cassian.

Arrogant, conceited, valuing their pride above their own lives.

For a man like him to admit in front of the sister he once despised that he might be an illegitimate child—it was a fate worse than death.

"Enough."

Damien spoke calmly, pulling the dazed Grace against his chest. "Mr. Hart, the facts aren't clear yet. Isn't it a bit too early to jump to conclusions?"

Grace rested in his embrace, finding a sense of calm returning to her upon hearing his words.

He was right.

It was entirely premature to make assumptions before uncovering the whole truth.

"You should leave."

Grace turned her head away, unable to look at Cassian any longer.

"I will look into this."

Cassian parted his lips, as if wanting to say something more.

But looking at Grace's cold profile, he ultimately swallowed his words.

He turned silently, pausing once more as he reached the door.

"Grace... if you find out the truth, whatever the result may be, please... tell me."

The door clicked shut gently.

The moment Cassian left, the suffocating atmosphere in the office dissipated considerably.

Grace stared at the photo on the desk.

The image was a bit blurry, but she could vaguely make out a young man in a white lab coat, his profile refined, his gaze gentle.

Was this Silas Sheridan?

"What are you thinking about?"
