Chapter 23

Grace froze in place.

Brian reached up and, with a snap, turned on the light in the room.

Grace suddenly sat up and huddled in the corner.

“You dare to deceive me? Who gave you the courage? Don’t want me to touch, huh? Then you want who to touch you? That doctor surnamed Vance?” Brian stared at her with eyes as dark as ink.

“What’s the matter with Dr. Vance? You’re being completely unreasonable!” Grace looked at him in disbelief.

“Did I say something wrong? If it weren’t for me seeing you two together that day, would you be embracing each other?”

Grace angrily pushed him away. “You’re drunk! You should go find your Miss Adkins!”

Brian, already under the influence of alcohol, was unprepared for the sudden shove. It caused his entire body to tilt to one side.

At that moment, his gaze fell upon the trash bin on the floor.

He squinted his dangerous eyes, got off the bed, and bent down to pick up something from the trash bin. He held it up to her and asked, “What is this?”

His voice was as cold as an ice cellar.

Grace saw the medicine bottle in his hand and felt a tremor in her chest, “I… I accidentally dropped it in there.”

“Grace, do you think I’m a fool, huh? It’s obvious that this medicine has never been opened!” Brian sneered.

Grace suddenly felt inexplicably guilty.

Brian thought about how he had foolishly given a negative review to the pharmacy today and even considered acquiring it. It made him burn with anger.

In a fit of rage, he laughed mockingly and reached out with his long arm. He grabbed her wrist and pushed her down onto the bed.

Grace screamed and struggled, but Brian quickly removed her clothes in a matter of moments.

She felt scared and, in the end, began crying and begging him to let her go. However, the sight of her tears only fueled Brian’s anger, and his actions became even more rough.

She closed her eyes in despair.

Suddenly, a strange warmth flowed over her body. Terrified, she pushed him away, saying, ‘Don’t…”
