StarNovelGrace was slightly shocked. Usually, Ed spent most of his talone in that rundown villa in the suburbs when
he wasn't working as a bartender at the Obsidian. How did he know so much?
"How do you know? Who told you?" Grace questioned.
"I know things, for | care about what happens to you."
His voice was low, and his words intense.
Grace didn't feel like getting into it, so she said, "Yeah, | had a little with someone, but it wasn't my boss.
Also, Ethan's my ex-boss now. | don't work at Henderson Group anymore. He wouldn't even see someone like
me, and | definitely wouldn't ask him for anything."
The bathroom light clicked off, and Ed cout, still dripping a bit.
"What makes you think he doesn't notice you?"
Grace chuckled and sighed. "The food's on the table. Go eat. There are still people out there. I'll go hang with
them for a bit."
She turned to leave, but he grabbed her wrist.
His tone was hesitant and very careful as he asked, "Grace, you really don't like Ethan, don't you?"
Grace frowned. She blamed Ethan for today-his coddling had made Jodie the way she was.
That whipping and all the stuff before - he'd always been there to bail Jodie out.
"Whether | like him or not is no big deal to him. Con, let's not talk about him. Aren't you hungry? Why do
you keep bringing up someone who doesn't matter?" The grip on her wrist tightened slightly. "Does he really not
matter to you?" "What else? Ed, you're acting strange today."
He suddenly let go, looking down. "I can't eat much. Will you cin and hang out withsoon?"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtGrace softened up a little. She smiled. "Okay."
She made sure to close the door behind her when she went out.
She'd only been inside for about five minutes, and the two outside were already done eating-neither seemed
very hungry.
Yancey's gaze drifted toward the bedroom, hoping the man inside would cout on his own.
But by the tthey had finished their supper, Grace's boyfriend still hadn't made an appearance.
Grace politely walked them to the door.
Then Joanne asked, "Hey, Grace, have you considered getting married to him?"
Grace thought about it for a few seconds. "Probably not next year. Work's going to be crazy. As for later, who
knows? At least things are pretty good between us right now."
Joanne glanced at Yancey, a little smile playing on her lips. "Alright, if you get married, I'll definitely chip in for a
gift."
She and Yancey entered the elevator together as Grace saw them off at the doors.
The moment the elevator doors closed, she turned back into her apartment.
Inside the elevator, Yancey slammed his fist against the wall, the loud bang conveying the intensity of the
impact.
He didn't react to the pain as he remained expressionless with his fists clenched.
Joanne's voice was calm as she said, "Mr. Henderson, | thought you didn't like Grace. You did sbad things,
after all. Now she's over you, but you don't look happy."
Yancey's gaze was dark, and he didn't bother to pretend with Joanne.
"Whether I'm happy or not is none of your business."
Joanne smoothed her hair, completely unbothered. "I just think it's a shame. Grace used to look at you with such
adoration."
"Look at me? With adoration?"
Yancey just scoffed to himself. What was the point of talking with Joanne about this now?
The elevator stopped, and he got out. Joanne trailed after him.
Just as Yancey was about to hop in his car, she said, "You know, if you really want a woman to be all yours it's
easy. Just wreck her job, trash her friends, make her totally alone, and she'll have to depend on a guy. Women
being too independent is never a good thing."
Yancey stopped dead in his tracks and turned to look at her.
Joanne's expression was still calm,
and she even gave him a smile. "Just
kidding, of course, KnEyreysd m

Besides, Grace's brother is still locked
up. You might not know why, but he
means a lot to her." The content is on

Yancey bit his lip and opened his back car door, saying to her, "It appears we
have much to discuss."

Yancey frowned. He really couldn't figure her out. What was she really thinking?
Joanne walked past him, saying,

With that, she offered no further explanation.
She had noticed tonight that Yancey was different-the once high-and-mighty
scion seemed to be learning to bite his tongue.
Yancey waited until she was gone before digging up Liam's address.
He tossed his phone aside, his gaze turning ice-cold.
