Falling for My Contractual Wife

Brian furrowed his brow. "She wouldn't do that."

Her emotions flared up instantly. "How wouldn't she? Brian, do you trust her that much? Do you believe that she was the one who kidnapped me last time?" Brian's eyebrows knitted tightly. "What are you talking about? When were you kidnapped?"

She touched her forehead and took a deep breath. "Forget it."

Brian was indeed unaware of that incident.

Brian continued to press. "What exactly happened? When were you kidnapped?"

Grace was extremely agitated at the moment, and with Brian's unwavering trust in Louise and his incessant questioning, she didn't want to say another word. Vivian, noticing the situation, explained, "Grace was kidnapped by Ava not long ago and almost... almost raped. Justin was also injured trying to save her."

Brian's expression darkened severely. He steered the car to the side of the road and stopped. "So, it was Ava who kidnapped you last time!"

"But if it was Ava who did it, why are you so sure it was Louise?"

Grace suddenly lifted her head to look at him, her eyes bloodshot, a mocking smile tugging at her lips. "Brian, if I say it was Louise, then was her! You better hope it wasn't her this time, or I swear I will kill her with my own hands!" Her gaze held a fierceness and hatred that Brian had never seen before.

"I will confront Ava about your kidnapping, and I will also look into the matter of the child," Brian said.

Grace suddenly felt very agitated, pushed open the car door, and strode forward.

Brian knew she was acting out of anger and quickly followed. "Grace, can you please calm down? I'm also very worried about Austin being missing. You can suspect Louise, but what evidence do you have?"

"Evidence?" Grace said sarcastically, "She can't stand me, nor can she tolerate my child. Even if the child has nothing to do with you, she won't let me go! Because she feels threatened by my working at the Francis Group. She wants to ruin me! Can't you see something so simple?"

Brian shook his head. If Louise were a malicious person, what Grace said would make sense logically, but he couldn't believe that Louise was such a person.

He thought that this was Grace's prejudice against Louise.

"Alright, if you don't believe me, I'll call Louise right now to see where she is, okay?" Brian offered.Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.

Grace didn't speak, which was taken as her tacit agreement to his proposal.

Brian took out his phone and made a voice call to Louise.

It took a while for her to answer, and Louise's voice was still soft and gentle. "Brian? What can I do for you?"

"Louise, where are you?" Brian asked.

Louise was taken aback. "Why? Are you going to pick me up somewhere?"

Grace listened carefully to Louise's voice, intuitively feeling a hint of wariness in her tone.

"Yes, I'll come to pick you up for dinner in a bit. Turn on your location sharing," Brian replied.

Louise clenched her fist, looked around, and said, "Hello? Brian, what did you just say? My phone signal seems to be weak."

With that, she put the phone on mute, and after a while, she turned the sound back on, creating the illusion that her signal was poor.

Grace, listening to the phone conversation, frowned. She felt that there was no such coincidence, and Louise must be hiding something. Seeing the poor call quality, Brian hung up the phone.
