After watching Alicia leave, Grace took Austin''s hand and entered the car.

Brian started the car and frowned. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong. ''How could they look so alike?''

"Gracey, who is she? She has nothing to do with Louise?" Brian asked.

"Why are you reacting so strongly? Does she remind you of Louise?"

Brian said, "Don''t you think it''s strange? Why do they look so alike?"

"She has nothing to do with Louise. She''s from Nelson''spany. I have dealings with her at work. She has helped me a lot."

Brian narrowed his eyes and pondered for a while. He was still a little worried that Alicia was Louise.

So he said, "You''d better stay away from her."

"I know what to do."

Brian turned to look at her and suddenly smiled. "Grace, are you jealous?"

Grace looked ahead calmly. After a while, she asked, "Do you still have feelings for Louise?"

"What do you think?" Brian asked her back.

Grace said sullenly, "How would I know?"

"She saved me when I was young. I''m very grateful for her saving my life. Of course, I didn''t know what love was at that time. When I met her again when I grew up, she made me unable to associate her with the girl I met when I was young.

"When I grew up, I treated her well because of the memory from my childhood. Therefore, I can tell you that I''ve never loved her."

Brian continued, "After that, she did so many evil things. I wish she could die. I hate even myself. When I think about when I was young, it''s quite a pity."

Brian turned to look at her. "Gracey, do you know I''ve only liked you from the beginning to the end?"

Grace''s heart skipped a beat, but she looked out the window and didn''t turn around.

*****

In the next few days, Alicia would visit Grace now and then.

Austin gradually lost her guard against Alicia. Gradually, Austin''s illness improved a lot.

It had to be said that Alicia also had some credit, but Brian was still a little wary of

her. His attitude toward her was cold and indifferent.

The weather was getting colder.

The cooperative project of Top Group and the Francis Group generated first-quarter revenues,ting the twopanies more than two million dors.

Nelson was satisfied. Therefore, a few leaders and higher-ups of the twopanies gathered at the Caper Grand Hotel that night to celebrate.

At the dining table, Nelson arranged for Grace to sit beside him.

Grace''s face would turn red whenever she drank. After two sses of wine, her

fair cheeks were flushed red, making her look charming and beautiful.

The higher-ups of the Francis Group took turns drinking with Grace.

Grace didn''t want to drink too much but didn''t want to turn them down. After all, they were all celebrating. Everyone was happy, so she could only hold back and drink with them.

She looked at Nelson, hinting that she didn''t want to drink anymore. She knew those people would stop proposing a toast if he asked them to.

However, Nelson ignored her and tilted his head to look at her with a faint smile. Opposite Nelson sat Alicia.

Her gaze swept across Nelson''s face from time to time. Every time, she realized that Nelson was staring at Grace.

She gripped the wine ss in her hand harder and harder.

"Grace." Alicia suddenly called her name. A smile appeared on her face as she picked up her ss. "I''ve wanted to drink with you for a long time. I finally have a chance today."

Alicia offered her a toast, so Grace naturally had no reason to refuse.
