“They were broken by someone from Stella.” Nevaeh said with a bitter smile.
“What?” Grace’s eyebrows knitted in a deeper frown. She didn’t expect Stella to be so ruthless that it was not enough for her to almost kill her. She even put her hands to Nevaeh!
“I’m fine.” Nevaeh shook her head gently, looked at her up and down, and smiled, “It’s you. I haven’t seen you for three months. You have changed a lot. I knew you had a good condition before. I didn’t expect you to be so beautiful.”
‘mason helped me get a plastic surgeon and my face recovered.” Grace smiled faintly, she took her hand and said, “Nevaeh, I’m sorry, it’s me who got you in trouble.”
“It’s okay, but Boss Carl has been looking for you for three months.” After a pause, Nevaeh said.
“Carl?” Grace sneered, “What does he want from me?”
“He seems quite worried about you and has been asking about you.” Nevaeh frowned and said, “Grace, will there be any misunderstanding between you and Boss Carl…”
“There is no misunderstanding between me and him!” Before Nevaeh finished speaking, Grace interrupted her directly and her eyes suddenly cooled down.
She would no longer believe Carl foolishly. The number of the text message that day was his. The idea that Stella should kill her must have been his acquiescence.
Otherwise, Stella would not dare to be so bold.
“But…”
“Well, Nevaeh, I have something else to do. I’ll talk to you next time.” Grace did not want to talk about Carl any more. After leaving contact information for Nevaeh, she turned and left.
She tidied up her thoughts and gently pushed the door of VIP307 open.
The person introduced by Mason was already waiting inside. The boss Ryan, surnamed Zhang, was the boss of a famous jewelry company in Romantic city. He was very polite to Grace because of Mason.
After viewing Grace’s design, he expressed satisfaction and signed the contract with Grace.
Grace did not expect that this cooperation would be so smooth.
Ryan handed her a golden invitation and smiled, “Grace, the company will hold a jewelry reception tomorrow night. You must come. Then we can talk about the details of the cooperation.”
“Well, thank you, Ryan.” Grace took the invitation and was surprised.
“It will be even better if Mason can come.” Ryan added.
Grace nodded gently and could only send a text message to Mason after returning to the villa. Unexpectedly, Mason agreed without hesitation.
The next night, Grace dressed up to attend the jewelry reception.
She wore a sexy golden fringed dress with her back exposed, tied her long hair into a bun, and walked in the middle of the crowd on 7 cm high heels.
It’s been five years, she was finally able to show her whole face and accept everyone’s eyes of wonder.
“Grace, here, to Ryan.” Mason hugged her waist and smiled.
She raised her glass to Ryan with a smile. “Ryan, thank you for giving me the opportunity.”
“Grace, you’re flattering me. It is my honor to cooperate with Mr. Mason’s fiancee.” Ryan hurriedly said.
Hearing Ryan’s words, the people around him looked up and down at Grace and began to talk about it.
“What’s going on? Didn’t you say Mr. Mason’s fiancee is an ugly monster? Why is she so beautiful?”
“Who knows, after three months” absence, she looks like a different person…”
“Didn’t she have an accident three months ago? I heard…”
“Grace.” The next second, there was a cold voice behind her.
Grace’s body suddenly shook. As soon as she turned around, she saw Carl in a straight suit standing in the middle of the crowd, staring at her with his eyes burning.
After three months of absence, he seemed to have lost some weight, his angular outline became clearer, and his aura was still very strong. Just standing there made people shudder.
Seeing her smooth face, he was first stunned, the next second, a trace of consternation flashed through his deep eyes, “Your face…”
“Mr. Carl, long time no see.” Grace stared at him with her head held high and sneered, “Are you disappointed that I didn’t die?”
“I know you are not dead.” His pretty eyes narrowed and he looked at Mason behind her. He sneered, “I just didn’t expect that you are still with Mason.”
“Of course I want to be with Mason, he is my fiance.” With a flattering smile, she turned and took Mason’s arm lightly and leaned against him affectionately.
For an instant, Carl clenched his fists, and a trace of strong anger flashed through his eyes.
The next second, he grabbed Grace’s arm and tried to pull her away from Mason.
But Grace retreated faster than he did.
She shook off his hand and grunted coldly, “Carl, what do you want? You don’t want to use Caleb as an excuse to tie me to you again, do you? Yes, I really can’t find any evidence to clear my name, but you and Stella have already killed me once, and I have paid off all I owe Caleb!”
Hearing her words, Carl’s good-looking eyebrows twisted slightly. “Grace, you said Stella and I have killed you?”
“Haven’t you?” Grace said word by word, “The number of the text message sent to me at that time was yours, but the person who stabbed me was Stella. Did you sum up all the things that day? You must have called me stupid behind my back?”
“Ha ha.” He smiled wryly and approached her step by step. He reached for her sharp chin and sneered, “So you want to retaliate against me by marrying Mason again?”
“Yes, Carl, I will return a thousand times what you and Stella owe me!” Grace bit her lower lip and said clearly.
“You are really stupid.” His handsome face was almost against her red lips, and his voice was as cold as ice. ‘stupid enough to be sold and count money for the person who sold you.”
When he said this, his eyes looked impartially at Mason.
Grace was surprised and a trace of doubt flashed through her heart.
What did he mean by this?
But the next second, Mason stepped forward and pushed Carl away. He protected Grace behind him and said with a smile, “Mr. Carl, please stay away from my fiancee.”
“Saying fiancee all the time, Mr. Mason, you are acting well.” Carl raised his eyebrows and sneered, “Then you”d better play longer, otherwise, the game will not be fun.”
After speaking, he gave Grace a deep look and turned to leave.
The appearance of Carl upset Grace.
So after the reception, she did not return to the villa, but found a quiet pub, ordered a bottle of whisky and drank it by herself.
It was always easy for people to get drunk when they were in a bad mood. Grace got drunk when a bottle of wine was finished.
She believed she was drunk, otherwise, how could she see Carl again?
