Chapter 19
Jason stared at Grace’s sorry figure.
She was just a target in the game, but why… why did he feel uncomfortable when he saw her being treated like this?
It was because… even if she was a target in their twisted games, he could not allow others to touch her. Even if he wanted to
torture her, he was the only one who could do it. No one, no one else was allowed.
This is what he told himself.
After a while, he turned around and left.
Sean who was standing not far away looked at Grace’s back and a thoughtful look flashed across his eyes.
Lily, who was next to him, gnashed her teeth in anger. “Grace is really lucky. Greg, that idiot, can’t he be less ostentatious? He just had to disturb Jay!”
Sean shrugged, but his gaze remained on Grace.
Terrence greeted Manager Wang.
Terrence stared at Greg as if he was looking at a dead man.
They were all the same, these wealthy young men. Too much
money, too little control. Always someone to clean up their
messes. But Gregory, he had gone too far today. And the foolish man was about to pay the price for provoking someone under Mr. Reed’s protection.
It was a coincidence that Mr. ReedMr. Reed happened to be al the club today, and had seen what had just happened.
What might have befallen the young woman had they not been here?
What would befall Gregory if he’d successfully followed through with his assault on her? Terrence had heard the commotion- the ‘disturbance’ as his boss had called it-and he’d seen the Stevens heir and several other people watching on while Miss Cummins was nearly drowned in a decorative pond.
