Chapter 286
Louise listened to her colleagues' compliments and smiled without saying anything.
She sat in the chair and thought of the figure she had seen while waiting for Brian this morning.
It was Grace,Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.
She wasn't sure if Brian had seen Grace when he bought her breakfast, but the spilled drinks reminded her that he must be hiding something from her.
Ever since she found out at the hospital that Grace might have given birth, she had been secretly investigating
She found out that Grace had indeed given birth and that child was most likely Brian's
However, she did not know what Brian was thinking. She wanted to get some information from the people around him, but Camren and Melvin were very tight-lipped and would not tell her anything at all. She sensed danger..

computer When she got off work in the afternoon, Brian came to the office to look for her. She looked up and said. "My father will be picking me up for dinner later, so you don't have to send me back today. You can go back first." Brian nodded and replied, "Alright."
Not long after he left, she switched off her computer and took a taxi to a restaurant.
In the booth, Ava was looking at herself in a compact mirror and tidying her hair. When she saw Louise coming over, she put down the mirror and glanced at her. She asked, "What's the matter?"
Louise threw the remaining two eggs from breakfast on the table and asked with a smile, "Brian bought these. Do you want to eat them?"
Ava glanced at the food and denied in disdain. That's impossible! There's no way Brian would buy such lowly street food?" "Why not? I wanted to eat it, so he queued up to buy it for me, Louise replied nonchalantly as she raised her eyebrows. "Louise Adkins, did you ask me out just to show off these things to me?" Ava's face darkened.
Louise replied, "Of course not. Did you know that Grace Sherman is back at Capern City?"
Ava was stunned and looked at Louise.
Louise continued, "I've been looking into Grace Sherman for a while now. You know that she gave birth to a baby, right?"
Ava did not say anything.
"Ava, you're so useless. If I were you, I would make sure that Grace Sherman couldn't give birth to her baby at all, Louise said with a cold smile,
Ava retorted, "At that time, I almost made her lose her baby! If it weren't for that bastard Justin Vance protecting her, she would not have been able to give birth successfully!"
Ava was very resentful
Louise then asked, "Unfortunately, the child is already born. It's useless to talk about this now. Do you hate her?"
Ava replied firmly. "Of course 1 hate her!"

"I'm the same as you, so think we should work together. After all, if Grace Sherman snatches Brian away, it won't be good for either of us" Louise said lightly, her eyes carefully sizing up the movements of the person in front of her. Ava sneered, her eyes filled with arrogance as she questioned, "Why should I work together with you?"
"Ava, it's not that I want to discourage you, but even if Brian doesn't marry me, he won't marry you. If I can't marry him successfully, the Adkins family won't have a good life after that. Our family's business is already going downhill. Humans live for money, right?" Louise explained slowly.
She added, Think about the benefits that my marriage to Brian will bring to our family. My dear sister, even you will also benefit from it. Capern City has so many rich and powerful young men. When the time comes, you can choose whomever you want. Isn't that good?" Ava knew that what Louise said made sense, but she was unwilling to accept it. To her, no man could compare to Brian.
Ava then said, "Your words are not enough to convince me!"
Louise smiled and suddenly tapped on her phone.
Ava's words rang from the phone....
