Patrick added, âBut weâve been trying our best not to mention Grace in front of Jason. Even though Jason seems to not have too many feelings for Grace now, he still dislikes other people mentioning her name.ââ
âHow could he just forget about Grace?!â Brian had a face of disbelief.
Patrick shrugged his shoulders and said, âWhy not? Sheâs just a woman. People like Jason can get himself any woman he wants. Hmm⦠but there isnât any other woman who can give birth to such a son.â
Thinking of the boy in the Reed family made Patrickâs body tremble. He was just five years old, yet had such high intelligence. He recalled all those times he interacted with that brat, which only left him feeling aggrieved, and it made him mad.
âThank God heâs not my son. If he were my son, Iâm afraid I, as his father, would be controlled by him.
âItâs only Jason who can make that brat obey him!
Brianâs expression slowly became dark. âJust a woman? But it was this woman who made Jason nearly go crazy. How could he just forget such a relationship?â
Brian drank the wine in the glass in his hand. Then, he walked straight toward Jason.
âHey, Brian!â Patrick could not help but call out to him. âIs Brian planning to head over to Jason to talk about Grace?
âCould it be that for the past five years, Brian⦠has never forgotten about Grace?â
The thought of it made Patrick quickly go forth. He was afraid that the place would be thrown into chaos if Brian brought up Graceâs name to Jason.
After all, these two men nearly got into a fight because of Grace that year!
At that moment, Brian had already arrived before Jason. The few rich businessmen of Emerald City, who were initially having a conversation with Jason, immediately made a pathway when they saw Brian.
After all, Brian was a big shot in the entertainment industry! He was also a powerful character in Emerald City.
âI didnât expect to see you here. When did you return?â Jason smiled as if he was just greeting an old friend of his.
âItâs not a coincidence. I knew youâd be joining tonightâs banquet. Hence, I purposely came here to see you,â said Brian.
âOh?â Jason raised his brows. âSee me? Do you need anything?â
âYou⦠Do you still have any feelings for Grace?â Brian asked without beating around the bush.
The smile on Jasonâs face slowly faded. His dark eyes were staring straight at Brian who was in front of him. âI donât think this issue has anything related to you, right?â
âI just want to find out whether or not you still have her in your heart?â Brian said.
The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became tense. The guests in the surroundings immediately distanced themselves from that area as they were hoping not to overhear their conversation.
After all, compared to gossiping, they prioritized their lives more.
If they overheard things that they were not supposed to, perhaps they might not be able to continue surviving in Emerald City.
4/4 Jason squinted his eyes and suddenly let out a soft chuckle. âI think you used to have a crush on her in the past too, right? Whatâs wrong? Donât tell me that woman still holds a place in your heart?â
Brianâs expression changed for the worse. âThat woman⦠How dare Jason use such words to describe Grace?!
âWhat the hell is going on here? Besides, why did Jason use the words âI thinkâ? Isnât Jason aware that itâs a fact I used to have a crush on Grace?â
