    Chapter 158


    After a few more days, the scar on her palm would fade away, just like the memory of what had


    happened between her and Jason. As time passed, it would disappear as if nothing had happened.


    Grace gently balled her hands into fists and walked out of the


    Sanitation Service Center.


    Before she could get very far, a silver-grey Porsche blocked her way. A slender figure got out of the car.


    It was the protagonist who had been being discussed by the girls in the


    Sanitation Service Center-Brian.


    “Is there something wrong?” Grace asked.


    “I want to treat you to a meal to thank you,” Brian said. He directly opened the passenger seat door,


    clearly indicating


    that he wanted Grace to get into the car.


    “I didn’t do anything to help you with your bracelet, so you don’t need to thank me,” Grace said, raising


    her foot to try to get past him.

    However, just after she had taken a step, he suddenly raised his hand and blocked her way. His


    phoenix eyes were fixed on


    her, but his gaze seemed to be concealed behind a facade, shing with a kind of look that she couldn’t


    understand.


    “I’m not used to owing favors, so I must treat you to this meal,” he said in a tone that could not be


    refused, the look in hist


    phoenix eyes bing deeper.


    Grace bit her lip slightly. A person like Brian probably hadn’t


    been rejected by others before. The more she refused, the more likely it was that the other party would


    be more and more persistent. It was better for her to go and eat this


    meal.


    Anyway, if he really wanted to do something bad to her, he


    would have already done sost night!


    Grace did not say anything else and sat in the passenger’s


    seat.


    Brian closed the door, walked back to the driver’s seat, and


    drove off.


    Along the way, Grace could not help but smile bitterly as she looked out at the view that was constantly


    shing past. Back when she had just graduated from college and be awyer, she had felt that


    everything could be reasoned out.


    However, after experiencing so much, she realized that sometimes, it simply depended on whether the


    other party


    wanted to be reasoned with.


    If the other party didn’t want to listen to reason, then she wouldn’t even have a chance to reason with


    them.


    “What are you thinking about?” Brian’s voice suddenly sounded from within the car.


    “I’m thinking about that silver bracelet. It seems to be of great importance to you,” she said casually.


    A faint smile appeared on Brian’s indifferent face. “Mm, it’s very important.”


    “Since it’s so important, will the person who stole it yesterday have a miserable end?” she asked.


    He nced at her from the corner of his eyes and said, “Well, yes, quite miserable.”


    His voice was very light, but she thought, “I’m afraid that the person who stole from him really will not


    meet a good end.”


    The car stopped in front of a restaurant.


    Grace knew that this restaurant was rather famous in


    Emerald City. However, it was very difficult to book a table,


    and the prices were very high. Eating a simple meal would


    cost the equivalent of an ordinary person’s sry of one or


    two years, let alone if one were to order some special dishes. Ordinary people could not afford it at all.


    However, for a person like Brian,ing here for a meal was probably an extremelymon


    urrence.


    The two of them entered the restaurant. Brian took Grace into


    a private room.


    “What would you like to eat?” Brian asked.


    “Anything is fine,” Grace replied.


    Finally, it was Brian who ordered. With a full table of dishes,


    the spread was unusually abundant.
