He narrowed his eyes. Why?
It was because that was the only dignity
she had left! Though her dignity had
been trampled to pieces now and it was only a patchwork of those crushed pieces, but She did not want to be trampled on again. Because youre not the kind of family I want. You can be a creditor, a stranger, or my immediate boss, but theres no way you can be my
family!
The word family was special to her. It was what she had longed for all her life!
Therefore, there was no way she was
going to let that word get trampled on
here!
He stared at her with his sharp gaze
that looked like a cold blade, seemingly
cutting her raw.
She did not hide from his eyes but looked at him calmly as if she was silently telling
him that he would never be her family.
Suddenly, he laughed out of anger. A beautiful smile appeared on the corners of his lips. Why dont we make a bet? I bet youll one day ask me to be your family and ask me to call you Sis again.
She could not help trembling. He said it
with so much certainty as if there would
be such a day!
Thats not going to happen. This was
the answer she gave him.
After leaving the rental house, Jason
walked out of the building. Terrence
was already waiting nearby. As soon as he saw his boss coming out, he quickly stepped forward and asked, Master Reed, are we going back to Reed
Residence now?
Yes. What did you find out from those
two? Jason replied faintly.
We only found out that they were hired
to attack Miss Cummins. They were told
to keep her hospitalized for at least a
while. However, theyve only contacted
the payer through phone and the money was paid directly into their account. Theyve never met. Terrence told him about his findings.
In other words, if they wanted to find
out who was behind this, they would probably need more time.
Keep looking, Jason said coldly.
Yes, replied Terrence. Then, he and
Jason got into the car together.
Send someone to keep an eye on her so
pre
that she doesnt find herself in danger
again like what happened today. Also,
check if shes gotten into conflict with
56
anyone lately, he said.

Terrence quickly responded again. Looking at his boss perfect profile as he
looked out the car window, he could not
help but sigh.
Master Reed cant get over Grace after
all!
I wonder what kind of magic Grace has. Master Reed cant even get over her or let her go after the breakup!
After a sleepless night, Grace went to
work the next day with two dark circles
around her eyes. She told Lawyer Carter
about the results of her interview with
Elise Dean and Pansy Dittman yesterday.
Lawyer Carter agreed with her.
However, because of the lack of key evidence, they could mention it in court but whether it would be accepted was
up to the judge.
