Chapter 160


    Chapter 160


    Davis only knew Brian had flown back from overseas a few hours ago as he’d checked his itinerary.


    However, the first thing Brian did uponnding wasn’t to head to the office but to visit


    that little vixen.


    So, Davis concocted an excuse to summon Brian back posthaste.


    Of course, it wasn’t just for the diamond. There were other matters at hand. But Davis hadn’t expected


    Brian to erupt in such fury.


    “I’m so sorry, Brian. It’s all my fault. It’s all on me!” Seeing Davis had been shouted into silence, Gracia


    cautiously stepped forward to mediate. “I shouldn’t havee today!”


    “If you knew you shouldn’t havee, why did you?” Brian turned to her, and his voice heavy with


    reproach.


    He remembered warning her explicitly that she was not to set foot in the Howard Manor without his


    permission!


    “I… I…” Gracia stumbled over her words, uncertain of what to say.


    No matter what she said, it would be wrong, and deep down, she knew Brian liked her meek and


    Witnessing Brian’s attitude toward Gracia, Davis grew angry and stood up, dering, “Gracia is a guest


    and a benefactor to the Howard family! Is this how you treat her?”


    “I’d like to know what exactly Gracia has done wrong! Since the scandal hit the headlines, you’ve given


    her the cold shoulder. Why?”


    “Why don’t you ask her and the Wright family what they’ve done!” Brian scoffed in response.


    Davis turned to look at Gracia, who was looking down with tears brimming in her eyes. After a moment


    of silence, he said sternly, “All this for some fickle temptress! I’ve told you before. Nate doesn’t have a


    mother like that, and I will never allow them to reunite! Yet, you insist on defying me! In my eyes,


    Gracia hasn’t done anything wrong! Her fan’s reckless act of hitting Natalie with a car is just a fan’s


    overzealousness. You can’t ce the me for a fan’s blind action on Gracia’s shoulders! How is she


    at fault?


    Besides, I didn’t press charges against Natalie for injuring Gracia, which is already the greatest act of


    mercy toward Natalie! How much more do you expect Gracia to give? Gracia even pleaded with me on


    Natalie’s behalf, insisting it wasn’t Natalie’s fault! Are you willing to have everyone end up like your


    father just to defend Natalie?!”


    Mentioning Brian’s father, Keh, plunged the room into a heavy silence.


    The butler and the servants stood by, hardly daring to breathe.


    After Brian brought Nate back to the Howard family, Davis had only begrudgingly epted the child,


    charmed by his adorable, innocent face. However, the mention of Natalie was still taboo

    within the Howard family.


    The tragedy that had struck the Howard family four years ago at the hands of Audrey and Natalie was


    something no one could forget.


    Hearing this, Davis turned even paler, his hand trembling uncontrobly on his cane.

    After speaking, she anxiously looked back at Brian, whispering, “This is all my fault. Just go. The


    Brian stared at Davis and Gracia, silent for a long moment, then took a deep breath and strode out of


    the house.
