Chapter 222
Brian snorted and glared at Grace. “I’m indeed not a thief. I’m her ex-husband. The child in her belly might be mine, so I want to take her back. However, she’s stubborn and refuses to come with me. That’s why I took her bank card and passport.”
The police officer frowned slightly and said coldly, “Since you’re her ex-husband, regardless of whether she’s pregnant with your child or not, it has nothing to do with you. It’s wrong of you to take her bank card. Hand it over quickly!”
Brian gritted his teeth and took out Grace’s passport and bank card. “Miss Sherman, take a look and see if they’re yours. Is there anything missing?”
Grace took them and had a look. She looked up and smiled at the two police officers. “That’s right. Thank you, officers.”
“You. Come with us,” the police officer said.
Brian frowned. “I’ve returned them to her!”
Grace was afraid the police would not take Brian away, so she hurriedly said, “Officer, you must take him away! He has been causing trouble in my shop these past few days, making it impossible for me to do business! You must deal with the matter seriously!”
The policeman nodded. “We will.”
Brian knew he was alone in Jacksonville. No matter how hard he tried, he could not dissuade the police officers there, so he could only follow them to the police station.
Grace stood at the door and watched Brian walk toward the police car by the street.
Brian suddenly stopped when he reached the car door. He turned around and stared at Grace without blinking.
The distance between them was a little far, so Grace could not see the look in his eyes. But for some reason, she could feel the sharpness in Brian’s eyes as if he were silently telling her he would find her no matter where she ran.
Grace pursed her lips and narrowed her eyes.
“What are you looking at? Get in the car!” The police officer urged Brian.
Brian took a while to retract his gaze. He knew Grace would be gone when he left the police station. He got into the police car at the urging of the police officers and disappeared from her sight.
Tina suddenly walked out of the shop and looked at Grace. “Miss Grace, you love him, don’t you?”
Grace suddenly felt an itch on her cheek. She raised her hand to touch it and realized she was crying.
Grace lowered her eyes and smiled, hiding the panic in her eyes. “It’s the past. The past does not matter anymore.”
Tina did not know what to say. In her opinion, Brian’s every move seemed to have feelings for Grace.
One couldn’t pretend to be nervous when the person who the one liked was injured.
However, when a woman escaped to an unfamiliar city alone, she must have suffered an unforgettable injury.
“Tina, bring the things in and close the door. We will go to the National Tax Bureau,” Grace said.
Tina frowned in confusion. “Huh? Go to the National Tax Bureau?”
“Yes. I’ll transfer the shop to you. I’m leaving.” Grace nodded.
”
Tina widened her eyes in surprise. “Miss Grace! Where are you going alone? You’re pregnant, and you’ll give birth soon. It’s so dangerous for you to run around now!” Grace smiled and patted her head. “Don’t worry. I won’t go far.”
Tina looked at her deeply and said, “Alright.”
Brian called Camren after he entered the detention center.
Camren was stunned for a long time when he heard Brian was detained.
