Falling for My Contractual Wife

Grace was about to speak when she heard a mocking chuckle from Brian. He turned to Nelson and said, "You enjoy staging this drama yourself."

Nelson frowned slightly, lowering his eyes and smiling coldly.

Grace glanced at Brian. "Brian, can you stop fooling around?"

Brian gritted his teeth while feeling both angry and helpless. He glared at her before shifting his gaze away.

"Thank you for paying special attention to me, but this matter has been resolved," Grace said to Nelson.

Nelson glanced at Brian upon hearing the words, a smirk playing at the corners of his lips.

"It seems that I'm a step too late," Nelson muttered while gritting his teeth.

Then, he stood up slowly from the sofa and sighed before saying, "It looks like I'm not welcome here, Grace. Let's meet at the same place next time."

Grace was at a loss for words.

She turned her head to look at Brian, who was staring at her as if he could pounce on her and bite her to death at any moment.

Grace frowned, thinking Nelson was someone who enjoyed watching drama.

After Nelson left, Grace turned to Brian, deliberately avoiding the topic he was interested in. "Isn't your work busy?"

"Same place? Do you see each other often?" Brian persisted.

Grace sighed deeply. "Brian, I have my social circle. After all, it was Nelson who helped me in the past five years. What right do you have to forbid me from interacting with him? Who are you to me?"

Brian pursed his lips tightly as if he was about to explode in anger.

However, his remaining rationality restrained him from harming her.

Brian said in a calm tone, "Will you listen to me? If he's a good person and doesn't have any improper thoughts about you, he won't do anything to hurt us. Anyway, I won't let you two meet."

Grace breathed heavily before saying, "So you're suspecting that he's behind this again?"

Brian avoided the question. "Do you trust him that much?"

Grace shook her head. "Brian, I don't want to argue with you today. You can go back first."

After saying that, she turned her back on him.

At the Perry Group, Nelson sat in his office, staring at the computer screen with a gloomy expression.

He thought, 'Grace had gone to Brian for help at first. Even worse, Brian almost exposed me in front of her just now.'noveldrama

Since that was the case, Nelson decided to go all out and acted even more ruthlessly.

Grace had just finished dealing with one issue when another project encountered problems.

A platform under the operation of the Top Group that had been reported for privacy breaches and

illegal profits, facing compensation of a few hundred thousand dollars.

It was a huge amount for Grace's company, which had just started a new project.

Forced to do so, the project had to halt.

The trending topics on Twitter criticized Grace for earning money dishonestly, and

the online platform received negative comments daily.

A large group of reporters gathered downstairs at the Top Group office building, along with a group of people claiming to be victims who surrounded the entrance of the

company.

The transparent glass door was smashed with eggs, with rotten vegetable leaves hanging from the doorknob.

Grace's phone was ringing nonstop.

Alice watched the scene downstairs and asked, "Miss Nova, what should we do?"
