Chapter 160

Davis only knew Brian had flown back from overseas a few hours ago as he’d checked his itinerary.

However, the first thing Brian did upon landing wasn’t to head to the office but to visit

that little vixen.

So, Davis concocted an excuse to summon Brian back posthaste.

Of course, it wasn’t just for the diamond. There were other matters at hand. But Davis hadn’t expected

Brian to erupt in such fury.

“I’m so sorry, Brian. It’s all my fault. It’s all on me!” Seeing Davis had been shouted into silence, Gracia

cautiously stepped forward to mediate. “I shouldn’t have come today!”

“If you knew you shouldn’t have come, why did you?” Brian turned to her, and his voice heavy with

reproach.

He remembered warning her explicitly that she was not to set foot in the Howard Manor without his

“I… I…” Gracia stumbled over her words, uncertain of what to say.

No matter what she said, it would be wrong, and deep down, she knew Brian liked her meek and

compliant.

Witnessing Brian’s attitude toward Gracia, Davis grew angry and stood up, declaring, “Gracia is a guest

and a benefactor to the Howard family! Is this how you treat her?”

“I’d like to know what exactly Gracia has done wrong! Since the scandal hit the headlines, you’ve given

her the cold shoulder. Why?”

“Why don’t you ask her and the Wright family what they’ve done!” Brian scoffed in response.

Davis turned to look at Gracia, who was looking down with tears brimming in her eyes. After a moment

of silence, he said sternly, “All this for some fickle temptress! I’ve told you before. Nate doesn’t have a

mother like that, and I will never allow them to reunite! Yet, you insist on defying me! In my eyes,

Gracia hasn’t done anything wrong! Her fan’s reckless act of hitting Natalie with a car is just a fan’s

overzealousness. You can’t place the blame for a fan’s blind action on Gracia’s shoulders! How is she

at fault?

Besides, I didn’t press charges against Natalie for injuring Gracia, which is already the greatest act of

mercy toward Natalie! How much more do you expect Gracia to give? Gracia even pleaded with me on

Natalie’s behalf, insisting it wasn’t Natalie’s fault! Are you willing to have everyone end up like your

father just to defend Natalie?!”

Mentioning Brian’s father, Kenneth, plunged the room into a heavy silence.

The butler and the servants stood by, hardly daring to breathe.

After Brian brought Nate back to the Howard family, Davis had only begrudgingly accepted the child,

charmed by his adorable, innocent face. However, the mention of Natalie was still taboo

within the Howard family.

The tragedy that had struck the Howard family four years ago at the hands of Audrey and Natalie was

something no one could forget.

Hearing this, Davis turned even paler, his hand trembling uncontrollably on his cane.

After speaking, she anxiously looked back at Brian, whispering, “This is all my fault. Just go. The

company matters are more important!”

Brian stared at Davis and Gracia, silent for a long moment, then took a deep breath and strode out of

the house.
