The Queen They Buried

Chapter 395

Hugo was the cop who handled her case. After they got to know each other, they actually got along pretty well and eventually became friends. Birgitte didn’t deny she liked him, but trying to explain that to Grace was pointless.

“Ms. Miller, let’s go,” Birgitte said, turning to Aubree.

The painting was already packed up, and with her business done, Birgitte had zero interest in hanging around this place any longer.

Grace’s face was already swelling from the slap. She touched her check, her anger flaring even hotter. Suddenly, she grabbed Birgitte. “What’s the rush? Trying to run because I hit a sore spot?

“You’re not going anywhere. Unless you call Hugo right now and tell him you’re cutting all ties with him, I won’t let you go!”

She was worried that if Grace lost control, she might cause a scene. Birgitte didn’t care about it, but she didn’t want Aubree to get dragged into it.

“You have no right to interfere in my personal business,” Birgitte said firmly.
