After all, it was lunchtime, and most people eating here at noon should be from nearby.
âMy studio is nearby,â said Valda Theller.
âYes, you said the last time that you draw comics and have your own studio,â said Grace.
âYeah.â Valda Thellerâs eyes lit up at the mention of her career, and she started talking. When the restaurant owner served their food, Valda Theller scratched her head awkwardly. âAm I boring you with what Iâm saying?â
âNo, itâs interesting,â said Grace.
Kyla also said, âYeah. My son reads comics. I always thought comics were for children. From what you said, Iâve learned that there are many comics for adults, and Iâm intrigued to read some.â
âIâll lend you some comics the next time if you want. I have a lot of comic books at home,â said Valda Theller.
âSure, thank you!â Kyla said..
The three ate while chatting. Kyla suddenly felt someone in the restaurant looking at them. She subconsciously looked up to find several strangers. She did not know any of them.
âDo Grace or Valda know them?â
Kyla was about to ask Grace and Valda Theller when the people suddenly got up and walked toward them.
âYou must be Ms. Kyla. We know that youâre the wife of Martin Weiss, chairman of Weiss Group, right?
But Martin Weiss didnât attend a charity banquet in L City with you previously. Instead, he brought another female companion. Does this mean heâs having an affair? Do you have anything to say?â
One asked as they pulled out their phone and filmed Kyla.
Kyla frowned, while Grace got up and said, âBy filming without the subjectâs consent, youâre violating her rights. She can pursue you legally!â
However, her words did not have any effect. The crowd continued filming arrogantly and asked increasingly explicit and embarrassing questions.
Cummins Yiraâs expression froze as she helped Kyla block the cameras. Valda Theller also tried to stop the person from filming.
The person next to the one recording the scene pushed Valda Theller away and tried to pull Grace away.
Valda Theller panicked. After all, Grace was pregnant. It would be bad if someone pushed her.
However, she saw that someone had stood in front of Grace and shook off the person trying to pull Grace before she could rush to Grace.
Then, Valda Theller saw several tall and strong men quickly subduing the people harassing and filming them.
Valda Theller blinked. âWhatâs⦠going on?â
Grace gasped and comforted Zhong Kyla and Valda Theller. âWeâre alright now. Theyâre my bodyguards. Theyâll take care of it.â
Kyla breathed a sigh of relief. They were fortunate to have these bodyguards around. Otherwise, if something had happened to Graceâ¦
As she was pondering it, Kyla heard Valda Theller say, âGrace, are you okay? You donât look well.â
âIâm fineâ¦â Grace was about to deny it when she frowned suddenly and covered her belly with one of her hands.
There was suddenly a pain in her belly, which made her feel a pang in her heart.
âSend⦠Send me to the hospitalâ¦â Grace said with difficulty. Her face turned pale, and a thin layer of sweat quickly appeared on her forehead.
