Brian didn’t even look at Grace as he strode towards the elevator.

The exclusive elevator that Brian took quickly disappeared in the hallway.

Nancy silently retracted her gaze and looked at Grace. “Did you guys quarrel?”

Grace pursed her lips and took a deep breath. She smiled at Nancy. “Not really

I’m not qualified to quarrel with him.”

Nancy shook her head helplessly. She whispered into Grace’s ear, “Are you blind? Mr. Francis was so

anxious when he saw you covered in injuries that day. Can’t you see that? Mr. Francis won’t waste his

emotions on unimportant people.”

Grace chuckled. She understood what Nancy meant, but no one knew better than her the difference in

the way he acted towards her and Louise.

‘Louise is the only one Brian has in his heart, Grace thought.

Nancy drove in the direction of the Francis estate.

Grace looked at the scenery outside the window and her heart sank. She did not know what she was

going to face next. ‘Louise did not seed this time. What other tricks will she think of to get rid of

me?‘ Grace thought.

The car stopped in front of the Francis estate. Nancy held Grace’s hand and said, “Grace, actually, you

can tell me if you need anything. As long as I can help, I will definitely help you. If I can’t…then use it as

a way of unloading your problems.”

“Nancy, the less you know about me and Brian, the better.”

Nancy looked at her worriedly. “If anything happens, you must call me.”

Grace leaned over and hugged her. “Don’t worry. I’ll be free in half a month. I’ll treat you to a meal then.

I’ll remember the meal I owe you today.”

Grace waved at Nancy with a smile and got out of the car. Nancy watched her go in before turning

around and leaving.

Grace walked through the door, and the smile on her face gradually disappeared.

Brian was not in the living room. Louise was standing in front of the fish tank, feeding the fish. When

she saw Grace return, she took off her gloves and looked at Grace. “You’re back.”

Looking at Louise’s impable smile, Grace was very impressed. ‘No matter when it is, Louise always

disguises herself almost perfectly, Grace thought.

Grace blinked and lowered her eyes. She calmed herself down and hid the emotions in her eyes.

“Miss Adkins, something cropped up at home today, so I came back a littlete.”

Louise smiled and said, “It’s fine. Did you open the window?”

Grace lowered her eyes. When she heard Louise’s words, Grace looked up at her. Louise’s eyes were

very clear, and her smile was slightly curved. ‘Even as she is probing me out, she still disguises herself

so perfectly,‘ Grace thought.

“The windows are locked. Once I was inside, I locked all the doors and windows. I’ve heard that when

removing formalin, it’s better for the doors and windows to be locked.”

Louise’s eyes narrowed slightly. She stared at Grace’s face for a few seconds and realized that there

was no abnormality in Grace’s expression.

“Hadn’t she locked the doors and windows because she realized she was being followed?‘ Louise

thought.

Grace nced upstairs and said indifferently, “Miss Adkins, Mr. Brian ising down. You guys chat

first. I’m going back to my room.”

Grace closed the door and exhaled heavily.

Not long after, her phone rang. Grace looked at it and frowned slightly.

It was her mother.

Grace’s mother only called her for one reason, money.

Grace picked up the phone and called out, “Mom.”

“Grace, have you eaten?” Daisy’s voice had a hint of ttery.

“I did.” It was only when Daisy wanted money that she would show a token concern or two.
