    Chapter 50 Positive Results


    At Gxy Bay, Amanda came out of the bathroom drying her hair with a towel. She turned the TV on


    and sat down before the dressing table, ready to go through her skincare routine.


    The TV was airing the live recording of the charity ball, and Elias was on screen, borating on his


    rtionship. “Grace and I are just colleagues, not lovers.”


    The exnation surprised Amanda. She swiveled around, her eyes wide with disbelief. She was then


    reminded of what Elias told her that night. Is he really going to dump her? She quickly got up and


    huddled closer to the TV, then she turned the volume up to listen to what Elias had to say.


    After she heard what Elias had to say, she felt awkward and sorry for Grace. When she saw the look of


    disbelief on Grace’s face, she knew this was Elias’ n, and one he did not talk to Grace about.


    What does he want? Amanda picked up her phone and called Elias. A few beepster, the call went


    through. “Elias!”


    “What is it?” he asked calmly.


    “Are you really going to dump her? What do you want? Don’t tell me you’re serious about getting back


    together.” Amanda was panicking. If Elias really did want to remarry, she would be entangled in a heap


    of mess again.


    Elias was silent for a few moments. “Whatever happens between us won’t affect my decision. I don’t


    want to waste any more of her time.”


    It wasn’t only because his grandfather was stopping him; he didn’t want to marry Grace either. His


    refusal was even more adamant than the time his grandfather forced him to marry Amanda. He


    realized that he didn’t hate Amanda that much, or he wouldn’t even have given in to his grandfather’s


    demands.


    “Calm down, Elias. You…”


    Before she could finish, Amanda heard Grace’s cries. “Why did you say that? Why did you say that.


    Elias?”


    And then the call ended.


    At the banquet, Grace searched for a long time before she finally found Elias on the balcony. Her


    makeup was a mess due to all her crying. “Why did you say that? Why did you do that to me? You


    promised my brother you’d take care of me. She dashed toward Elias and hugged him, refusing to


    leave him.


    The night breeze brushed across her face, and it froze her tears, but not even the coldpared to the


    chill she felt in her frozen heart.


    Elias looked at her and pushed her away. “Even if we’re not lovers, I can still take care of you. As a


    brother, I mean. I’ll do anything you ask of me.”


    Grace shook her head violently. “No. I don’t want to. I don’t want to just be your sister. We’re good as


    lovers, aren’t we? I can’t just be your sister.” She couldn’t watch him falling in love with another


    Woman


    “Listen to me. I don’t love you. If we got married, our marriage would be a mess. I don’t want to waste


    your time. You’ll find someone who truly loves you.” Elias thought she was a hassle, and he massaged


    his forehead. He hated it when Grace cried. She wouldn’t stop until she got what she wanted, and it


    annoyed him.


    “What? Why do you think it’ll be a mess before we even get married? I might be a better wife than


    Amanda ever was!” Grace thought Elias would fall for her if they were married. He was only wavering


    because of thements the public was making about them and his grandfather was stopping him.


    Elias couldn’t stand it anymore and finally snapped. He sternly said, “Stop lying to yourself, Grace.


    There’s no love between us. Don’t evenpare yourself to Amanda. At least I was willing to marry


    her. I don’t even feel like marrying you. Not one bit.”

    Silence fell between them. Grace stared at him in disbelief and hurt. He doesn’t even want to marry


    me? She sneered. “So, you weren’t that reluctant to marry Amanda, were you? And you aren’t actually


    hating your grandpa for trying to stop our marriage?”


    Elias said nothing, but his silence was tacit agreement.


    Sheughed bitterly as she couldn’t understand. What did I do wrong? Why won’t he love me even


    after all I’ve done for him? She slowly turned around, tears streaming down her cheeks. She trudged


    along to the other side of the balcony, all life sucked out of her.


    Elias saw her off. He said, “Get the driver to take you home.”


    “I can go home by myself, thanks.”


    She left, but Elias thought that would be even more of a hassle. Is she really all right? He chuckled.


    again. Guess I have another woman hating me now.


    Grace arrived home, though she wasn’t entirely sure how she made it. All she could feel was pain and


    all she could think about was the hurtful words Elias said just now. I worked so hard and got so far, but


    in the end, it doesn’t even matter. I can’t ept this!


    Just then, her phone started ringing, but she was in no mood to take it. What if it’s from Elias? What if


    he’s taking back his word? She picked up her phone, but it was an unknown number. Disappointing.


    She tossed the phone onto the couch, refusing to look at it, but her phone wouldn’t stop ringing. Going


    mad from the incessant ringing, she answered the phone and roared, “What do you want?


    Piss off!”


    A man said awkwardly, “Um. Miss Murphy? I’m from the DNA testing facility. Um…”


    Oh, so the results are out? Grace calmed down and gripped her phone tightly. “So, what’s the result?


    Are they rted?” Her heart was thumping furiously, afraid that the answer might be the one she


    feared.


    “Yes, 99.99% rted. We’ll send you the detailed report in two days. Since you were really eager to


    know the results, so…”
