Chapter 1462
Grace suddenly found it hilarious when she heard everything the two men said. ‘Why is it up to others to decide
whether I should learn about the truth I deserve to know?’
“Jay…” The word escaped her mouth softly. The volume was soft as usual.
However, it made the two men in the hall below stiffen instantly.
The two men looked up almost at the same time and looked in Grace’s direction.
Their expressions instantly changed. Brian was worried and frustrated. After all, he had not intended to let others

‘Jay… Jay…’
As much as he liked hearing her call him that, he was afraid to hear it now.
He had taken precautions against his maids and butler but not her!
He thought she would sleep a little longer and not wake up so soon. He had forgotten to think of the possibility that
she might wake earlier.
‘Why? Why am I so careless?
‘Why didn’t I even predict that?
‘Is it because I knew Brian had probably found out about the truth of the case, so I was flustered and my brain was
in a mess that I forgot the things I should have thought of?
‘And how long has Grace been standing there? How much of our conversation has she heard?’
He wanted to call to her gently in his usual tone, voice, and smile.
However, his whole body seemed to be quivering. His voice seemed stuck in his throat, and it became extremely
difficult to utter a single syllable.

there was no more color in his face. Even his lips seemed to have a grayish tint.
The way he looked and what she had just heard was enough for Grace to understand what the truth was.
Even so, she took a deep breath while her almond-shaped eyes sparkled with tears. “Tell me if what Brian said is
true.” xo.com fast update
His lips trembled, and he opened his mouth. However, he did not know how to answer.
“Was Lily the real perpetrator?” Grace continued asking.
Only then did he speak. “Grace, I… I can explain. I…” His voice, which should have been elegant and gentle, was
now hoarse.
“Was it Lily?” she asked persistently.
