Heard her words, Alex reached out his long arms and put her in his arms: "I'm sorry for being late, in the future, I will never let you suffer anymore."

However, they will not have a future, she has been sold by Nicholas to Garrett! The thought of the miss between the two of them, she cried without misgiving, could not help herself.

Alex originally thought the little girl shed tears for their long time absence, “Cry if you want! From now on, I won't let you cry anymore. I like your smile, it’s pretty beautiful. Alex patted her on the back, and it was a long time before she left his embrace.

Alex then took her to a nearby cafe where the two sat face to face.

Grace looked at Alex, "Alex, when did you come back? How have you been these years? ”

She thought he should be having a good time, looking at his designer suit, designer leather shoes. As long as he is well, she felt relieved.

"I'm doing well, what about you? my dearest Gracie, why do you look so much thinner than before?” Alex put a plate of delicate snacks in front of her, "These are your favorite, you should eat more !"

He intimately rubbed her head, this girl in his eyes was still the same, ever being childlike.

"Okay, Alex, thank you. " Grace drank the orange juice and ate these delicate snacks, somehow but a little upset.

"Well, do you live in school now? What about I find you another better place? Alex was afraid that she would be bullied in school for her sweet temper, she hasn’t been treated well in White. She was in the name of the second Miss White there was no difference between her and a servant.

Grace shook her head promptly, "It..it’s fine, I live in, uh, I live in a student's house, I help her assignments at night." Grace spun him a yarn, she could not able to tell him that she was sold by Nicholas, and she was restricted by Garrett

"Are you still doing tutor?" Alex knew that she has had a part-time job for a long time, so he was not surprised about that.

"Well, yep!" Grace replied in guilt, thought that try her best to hide these things, she wanted to retain a little dignity in front of Alex,

"Gracie, you don’t have to be a part-time tutor anymore, I'll make your life better," Alex promised her that now he can make her live a good life, she would no longer be subservient to Whites and live dependent on the whims of Whites.

"Alex, I'm being fine now." Grace didn’t want to make Alex too embarrassed, he made all his efforts to have the present achievements, she couldn’t destroy him.

Alex saw her attitude resolute, and no longer forced her, "Okay! Here's my new number. If anything, just call me.”

"Okay." Grace took over his business card, executive director in APLEX Co. Ltd, vice president. He has served such a high position!

At one o'clock in the morning, the sound of the car was coming into the villa, the man came back. Grace shuddered, she was shaking, from the bottom of the feet directly to the head.

As soon as Garrett came in, it was like coming in with a cold wind. It felt like winter rather than autumn. "Debbie, it turns out that you go to school just for going to the coffee shop, huh? How about those snacks, was them delicious?" Garrett waved the cup of coffee she carefully brought to the ground and the cup smashed a piece of porcelain.

"I... I didn't, you misunderstood..." He did know everything, Grace nervously defended, bent over wanting to pick up the debris, but she was pulled back the next second and being pressed on the table.

"Wh-What are you going to do?" Her back was against the cold tabletop, and the whole person trembled.

"What am I going to do? What do you think I'm going to do? Debbie, you can talk and laugh with other men, so you should not refuse me— your real husband, right?"

As long as the thought of the event happened this afternoon, her interaction with the other man in the cafe, he was in a particularly bad mood. This woman is indeed a siren, no wonder so many men are willing to pester her. Instead, what he wants is bitterly humiliating her.

"You misunderstood that, we’re just..." Grace was tightly clamped by him, unable to move, her explanation accompanied by two lines of tears, even if he saw in the eyes, still will not be a little pain of his heart.

"That man has a fiancee, did you know?" His words were steady, but it was like a bomb fell into the mind of Grace.

fiancee?!

How could he have a fiancee?

Looking at her face in a shocked look, Garrett felt more joyful: "Don't believe that? Did you think being the vice president of APLEX Co. Ltd is an easy task? But it would be not so hard if being a son-in-law. ”

"Didn't this man come looking for Grace? Why is he still here?” Chloe stared closely at Alex and said to Betty next to her.

"Grace's not been here for two days, she may be sick," Betty said with concern.

"She must be pretending to be sick! Why does a gold-digger still need to go to school?" Chloe said deliberately and loudly.

Alex has wandered at the school gate for a long time, also unable to go through Grace’s phone.

When he heard the name of Grace, immediately stopped them.

"Are you guys Grace’s classmates? Where did she go? "He was a little excited and went up to grab Chloe by the arm

"It’s hurt! Could you let go first?" Chloe did not expect this gentle-looked and handsome man would suddenly pull her so hard.

Alex found himself being too emotional then let go of her, "You are her classmates, right? Did you know what happened?"

"Grace used to be with us in the same dormitory, but not long ago, she moved out to live, and quit all her part-time jobs, every day after school there is a high-level luxury motorhome to send her home, although we have not seen the man, others just said so, she was depending on a rich man," Chloe said gradually in a whisper because the face of Alex was being more and more gloomy.

"Th-That’s all I know." Chloe retreated from his distance, thinking that the man also looks like an elite, does he also attracted by Grace’s appearance? Or another man who wants to have a relationship with her?

Betty walked to Alex's front, "Sir, these are just some gossip, you don't have to care too much, or you leave a contact, once Grace emerges, I will let her contact you."

Alex felt that this is also the case, he took out a business card and handed it to Betty, "Hope it's not bothering you too much, I'll come back tomorrow.” Then he sped away with his BMW.

In the chamber of Smith company, the crowd roared, Garrett was sitting on the second floor of the box, smiling at the beautiful woman around him and appreciating her: "Anna, you still take care of this place so well."

"Your demand is the top priority, I dare not deal with that casually. " Anna cleverly handed over a glass of Garrett’s favorite wine, "Garrett, I heard Jay said you are asking about the news on APLEX Co. Ltd, is it for miss White? Anna thought that it’s no need to destroy APLEX which in A City was considered a large enterprise, it must pay a great price.

Garrett just shallowly ticked the lip: "Anna, why you ask about these things?" For Garrett, there has been no shortage of women around, Since Anna has been able to stay with his side, doing things more than saying things is one of the important reasons.

“Garrett, I am doing this just for you, you don’t have to do these things for her, she’s not worth it" Anna walked up to him and said, "Wouldn't it be nice to have me with you?"

She is used to being around him, and he is the most significant person in her life. Wandered in the streets when her in childhood, and she was so starving that stole a piece of bread, which almost got her killed. While she was so sick almost dead, he brought her back to his home.

Garrett was being silent and did not reply to it. Was Debbie worth it? He seemed to think about it lately.

The hall on the first floor suddenly became a little more lively, a woman with heavy makeup, long curly hair, and was wearing a tight black skirt. With lights shining above, such an enchanting woman made all the men shout for it, attracting their eyes so that they salivate over the woman.

"Who's this woman?" Garrett asked Anna beside her.

"All I know that calls her Serena, who's been here spending a big amount of money on a night out in recent days, and has a good relationship with men." Anna also has a strong business outlook, because of the woman's emergency, the club sales in recent days got a lot increase, especially in alcohol.

"Anna, you're getting more and more business-minded now, and I don't have to come over and worry about it anymore, " Garrett smiled.

"So you used to worry that I wasn't doing a good job and came over imposing censorship?" Anna smiled and took away the empty wine glass in his hand, "Garrett, do you like her? I can ask her to come up with you. ”

"No, but I need you to check on her, " he said. Why does he have a horrible feeling about the woman?

Anna was a little surprised, but she did not ask more, she will do everything he commanded to her.

By the time Garrett returned to the villa, it was already one in the morning. Grace heard the sound, although with some fear, yet she went forward to help his standstill.

"Ya waiting for me?" Garrett stared at her tightly, and the next second he held her in his arms, eagerly kissing her.

"Mr. Smith, you're drunk." After that happened in the cafe, she has been afraid all the time, and when he got drunk he was being more gruesome to her.

But Garrett did not want to release her, his big hands tightly clasped her slender wrists.

Grace was pinched by him, "Let go of me, let go! It hurts! ”Her bitter pleas were still in vain, and the next second he pushed her down on the sofa in the living room, and a strong steel body clamped her down. The humiliating pain struck her again.

"Debbie, is that all that you get?" An hour later, Garrett got up and looked coldly at Grace, "Don't forget to take the pill!"

"Miss Jones." In the exquisitely decorated cafe, a middle-aged man smiled flatteringly.

"How's it going? The information about the woman I want." the woman known as Crystal·Jones was the baby daughter of APLEX’s, wearing gorgeous clothes, and thin fingers holding the coffee cup handle.

"Of course, how dare I neglect to do what Miss Jones has asked me to do, however, There has very little information about her." The man handed over a file that just showed that she was the daughter of the White family and was in college now. However, how can the White's daughter be so poor?

Although she is already engaged, Crystal has always felt that her fiance Alex's heart is not completely in her, especially in recent times, woman's intuition made her think that he must have something hidden. Sure enough, she discovered the existence of Grace.

"Miss Jones, I have a piece of information here, which is also about Miss White, but it's just another one. " The man handed over another file with a bit of unkind excitement in his tone.

Another Miss White? Did the white family have two daughters?

"Miss Jones Grace·White was adopted by Nicholas·White, Debbie·White is the real daughter of White family, and Grace was sold by Nicholas instead of Debbie to marry Garrett·Smith."

This man befits private detective Crystal thought, he could dig out everything news whatever he wants.

Crystal surprisingly turned over the file. So Grace is Debbie's replacement, and Alex is trying to save her? Did Alex know that Grace has been married? Or is he still in the drum?

"I see, I'm satisfied with this information." Crystal took out a check from the bag and handed it to the private detective, more than the expected number, the man satisfyingly received it and left.

Grace did not know how she changed into this elegant pink evening gown, sloping shoulder type with V collar, and the left shoulder was set with dazzling diamonds, beneath the light, the dress shining bright light. And wearing white heels dotted with pink diamonds.

Garrett looked at Grace who with a bit restlessly standing on the side of him, the bright colored dress made her whole lit up, more dazzling than he imagined.

When Grace got of a car, a chill of windswept on her, blankly looked at the hotel in front of her.

APLEX?

Together, they stepped into the third floor of the banquet hall, perfumed clothes and gorgeous hair around, everyone was toasting each other. Which dazed Grace's eyes, such a banquet, she only saw once in the White’s house, never participated in it. Before each time Debbie held a banquet in the villa, she could only help in the kitchen.

Now, she is standing here, but only feels her legs soft, if it were not for her holding Garrett, she may have been paralyzed to the ground.

The last time Garrett said Alex is Jones's group's son-in-law, she was afraid this is the one Garrett had mentioned. So today he specifically asked her to dress up as an escort, was it intentional?

"Ya nervous? Isn't such a banquet venue your favorite? " Garrett could feel the woman beside him was shaking with fear.

"I'm not." Grace did not want to be afraid and run away, she squeezed her hand, the cold sweat in her hands made her clench her lips tightly.

Garrett sneered and walked toward the guests.

"Mr. Garrett, please." Daniel·Jones smiled and greeted. Garrett this time personally participated in APLEX anniversary, which made Daniel unexpected, but also felt the better he look.
