Chapter 700

There was no one at the school gate so Grace called the teacher to send Austin
out.
She had just picked up Austin and was about to get into the car when suddenly a bucket of red liquid was splashed at her.
Instinctively, Grace turned around and tightly hugged Austin in her arms.
The thick, heavy liquid clung to her back, accompanied by a pungent smell.
It was red paint.
Austin was startled and when she regained her composure, she looked up at Grace. “Mom…”
She stepped forward, glaring coldly at the person who had splashed the red paint, saying, “Don’t bully my mom!”
The person scolded, “You’re so fierce even just in kindergarten. What will you be like when you grow up?”
Grace pulled Austin behind her, looking coldly at the group of people.
“You can say what you want about me, but if you try to harm my daughter, I will make you pay tenfold!”
Her gaze was too sharp, and a few of them were inexplicably shocked.
Grace continued, “If you’re going to call me vicious, then I’ll show you just how fierce I can be.”
In a heated exchange, a person retorted, “What? Can’t we criticize you for earning money dishonestly? This deceitful woman wants to silence me by any means necessary!”
Another person added, “Not only is she deceitful, but she’s also a homewrecker. Even her daughter’s legitimacy is questioned.”
More people gathered, surrounding Grace and Austin, gossiping and pointing fingers.
At that moment, a cold voice cut through the crowd. “Clear the way!”
Everyone turned around, automatically parting to make a path.
Brian walked over with a gloomy face. His eyes were as cold as ice as his gaze
swept over the crowd, sending chills down their spines.
Seeing Grace covered in paint, a surge of anger flashed in his eyes.
He took a deep breath and tried to control his emotions.
Then, he took Grace’s hand in one, Austin’s in the other.
“Listen, Grace is the only woman I’ve
ever
years ried. We were married fie , and our child was bo
during our marriage.
“I admit my faults, turning her the victim in our marriage and she is not the third party.
“Now, I declare. I will only marry Grace in this lifetime and now I want to propose to her.”
Turning to her, he knelt and took a ring out from his pocket.
“Honey, will you marry me again?”
Grace stared at him blankly.
Standing at the side with a smile on her face, Austin looked up at Grace and urged, “Mom, say yes!”
The surrounding crowd fell silent and some of them took out their phones to record the scene and post online.
Brian
get a response from her
for a long time and he slowly smiled. “If you don’t say anything, I’ll take it
as you’ve agreed.”
SWI
As soon as he finished speaking, he slid the ring onto her finger.
The ring size was perfectly fit.
Grace’s eyes welled up as she looked at the ring.
Brian stood up and gently wiped away the tears.
The crowd was moved, some silently shedding tears.
Brian gazed at her as if she were the only one in the world.
In a low voice, he asked, “Who splashed the paint just now? They will bear the consequences.”
Gme back to her senses and
looked
finding that the few
people who had splashed her paint had already slipped away.
“They ran away. Let’s forget about it and go home.”
