Grace was about to speak when she heard a mocking chuckle from Brian. He turned to Nelson and said, "You enjoy staging this drama yourself."


    Nelson frowned slightly, lowering his eyes and smiling coldly.


    Grace nced at Brian. "Brian, can you stop fooling around?"


    Brian gritted his teeth while feeling both angry and helpless. He red at her before shifting his gaze away.


    "Thank you for paying special attention to me, but this matter has been resolved," Grace said to Nelson.


    Nelson nced at Brian upon hearing the words, a smirk ying at the corners of his lips.


    "It seems that I''m a step toote," Nelson muttered while gritting his teeth.


    Then, he stood up slowly from the sofa and sighed before saying, "It looks like I''m not wee here, Grace. Let''s meet at the same ce next time."


    Grace was at a loss for words.


    She turned her head to look at Brian, who was staring at her as if he could pounce on her and bite her to death at any moment.


    Grace frowned, thinking Nelson was someone who enjoyed watching drama.


    After Nelson left, Grace turned to Brian, deliberately avoiding the topic he was interested in. "Isn''t your work busy?"


    "Same ce? Do you see each other often?" Brian persisted.


    Grace sighed deeply. "Brian, I have my social circle. After all, it was Nelson who helped me in the past five years. What right do you have to forbid me from interacting with him? Who are you to me?"


    Brian pursed his lips tightly as if he was about to explode in anger.


    However, his remaining rationality restrained him from harming her.


    Brian said in a calm tone, "Will you listen to me? If he''s a good person and doesn''t have any improper thoughts about you, he won''t do anything to hurt us. Anyway, I won''t let you two meet."


    Grace breathed heavily before saying, "So you''re suspecting that he''s behind this again?"


    Brian avoided the question. "Do you trust him that much?"


    Grace shook her head. "Brian, I don''t want to argue with you today. You can go back first."


    After saying that, she turned her back on him.


    Brian stood behind her, looking at

    her for a long time. Finally, he

    let you see his true colors one day."


    The sound of steady footsteps followed, then the closing of the door.

    At the Perry Group, Nelson sat in his office, staring at theputer screen with a gloomy expression.


    He thought, ''Grace had gone to Brian for help at first. Even worse, Brian almost exposed me in front of her just now.''


    Since that was the case, Nelson decided to go all out and acted even more ruthlessly.
