Chapter 185
It was not that Grace did not want to go out to work, but Brian did not allow her to show her face in public. He was afraid that others would know that she was his secret wife.
Grace smiled bitterly.
Brian was at a loss for words. He wanted to comfort her but felt he would sound hypocritical.
After hesitating for a while, he said, “It doesn’t matter. Gold will shine wherever it is. Look at your comics. Aren’t they doing well?”
Brian wanted to bite off his tongue after saying this. He sounded too awkward.
He cleared his throat and continued, “You can come to the Francis Group if you want. I can offer you a high salary.”
Grace broke into smiles.
She would never go to the Francis Group, but she did not reject Brian on the spot because she knew that with Brian’s personality, if she turned down his offer on the spot, he would probably fly into a rage and say that she did not know what was good for her.
It had been a long time since they got along so peaceful

Brian crossed his arms and raised his eyebrows at her.
Grace explained, “Don’t you know that she targeted me in the villa because she felt something was off between us? She likes you, so she plotted to frame Nancy to get closer to you! She replaced Nancy so
she could stay by your side every day. You chose to turn a blind eye to Ava’s actions and fired Nancy.”
Brian frowned. The day before yesterday, he had declared in front of everyone that he had nothing to do with Ava. Had Grace lost her memory?
The more Grace thought about it, the angrier she became, and the more she felt that Brian was incompetent. She said, “If you still have a conscience, give Nancy her job back! I suppose this job will be difficult for a rich young lady like Ava. You feel this is a bother as well, right?”
Grace revealed a self–deprecating smile and continued, “Sorry, I was overthinking. Perhaps you consider girls like Ava cute.”
ly.
Brian did not hear Grace agree, nor did he hear her reject him. He said, “I won’t let your work go unpaid tonight.”
Grace lowered her eyes and thought momentarily before saying, “There’s no need to pay me. If you really want to thank me, give Nancy her job back.”
Brian stopped massaging her. Grace felt that her neck no longer hurt and her shoulders no longer ached. She said softly, “That’s enough. Thank you for the massage.”
Even as Brian sat down on the bed, he was a head taller than her. He looked at her and said, “I know you are close with Ms. Patel, but she was indeed responsible for her mistake.” Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
Grace frowned unhappily.
She reasoned. “Brian, I want to discuss this incident properly with you. I didn’t speak up for Nancy because I’m on good terms with her.”
Brian gestured and said, “Alright, go ahead.”
“Louise is your fiancée. Perhaps because of this, you trust Ava a lot. I can understand that.”
Brian scoffed, “Grace, don’t have double standards. I don’t favor Ava because of my relationship with Louise.” Grace was momentarily stunned before she continued, “Alright. Even if you don’t favor Ava, I don’t know what you think of her. I’ll only describe what I saw. She’s unruly, willful, and oppressive. You saw how she bullied me in the villa. You probably know why she keeps targeting me, right?”
Brian frowned slightly. He asked, “Why?”
Grace chuckled and mocked, “Brian, you two are already together. Why are you still feigning ignorance?”
