The atmosphere suddenly changes and the people around are depressed.
Grace sitting on the ground is confused. Isn’t she the main character? So she begins to wail.
Ben looks at Grace and sneers. Then he goes back to his room.
The other kids leave with Ben. They don’t want Alex to question them again. It’s not a good feeling not to be trusted.
The servant also leaves the battlefield in time. She is still sighing for Miya.
“Alex…” Grace makes a sudden cry.
Her voice and the way she looks at Alex are flirtatious.
But Alex ignores her. “What are you doing here?”
“I miss you.” Grace is a little upset. She pouts and looks at Alex and reaches out, “Alex, it’s cold. Take my hand.”
Grace is totally challenging his bottom line.
Alex feels he can’t communicate with Grace. “I don’t care what you’re here for. Go out now. You will never be allowed to step into this house in the future.”
Grace’s face changes, “but we’ll get married later. Where are we going to live? Are we moving out?” She suddenly thinks of a possibility that she doesn’t hate.
Alex looks at her. He doesn’t know if she is a real lady. She is like a fool. Even though Susan was born poor, she will not say that.
“We won’t get married. I won’t allow you to disturb my family again.” Alex wants to go back to his room. Grace’s like a spoiled kid anyway. As long as no one cares about her for a while, she will be obedient.
“Alex.” Grace suddenly hugs Alex’s leg. “I know you like Miya, but she’s dead. She shouldn’t stand in the way of your happiness! I’m younger and more energetic than Miya. I’m Sue Group’s daughter. I’m better than her in any way. Please be with me. Sue Group will spare no effort to help Alex group. You won’t lose.”
Alex doesn’t move. Grace thinks Alex is convinced. But Alex is thinking about kicking her. She challenges his bottom line again and again.
“Alex, you think what I said makes sense, don’t you? Uncle Augus agreed to our marriage. There is a point in what parents say. Since even the elders have chosen me, I must be right.” Grace says, “I will never be like Miya. She cheated with another man and betrayed you after she married you. I only love you. I will never cheat with another man and embarrass you like her...”
Before Grace finishes, Alex raises his leg and kicks Grace off.
“Alex, what are you doing? I’m in pain!” Grace roars angrily, but she sees Alex’s angry eyes and stops talking.
“You are not qualified to discuss her.”
Alex’s voice is heavy. It hits Grace like a hammer. Grace is a little scared and can only nod.
