Chapter 242

“Louise, Ava didn’t mean any harm. After all, marriage is a big deal. She didn’t have any thoughts about Brian. She is just telling you what she knew over this time. As for whether it is real, she might be biased. Don’t take it to heart,” Shannon said. Louise’s lips curled up into a cold smile. “Thanks for your reminder, Ava. It’s best if you don’t worry about me in the future.” She looked at Shannon. “If she feels bored, you should marry her off as soon as possible.”
Ava wanted to say something, but Shannon pinched her hard.
Louise turned and went upstairs. Every step she took was filled with a cold aura.
When the door closed upstairs, Shannon glared at Ava. She poked Ava with her finger. “What’s in your head? Can’t you think before you speak? Brian didn’t find out that you were the one who drugged him. What if Louise finds out? What would you do?” Ava pursed her lips. “Find out? What evidence does she have? It’s been so long. Besides, what else can she do to me?”
Shannon persuaded Ava earnestly, “Ava, you’re still young. Many things are not as simple as you think. Louise looks gentle, but she’s best at winning people’s hearts.
“From the looks of it, she must have been liked by the Francis family today. That’s why she’s so happy when she comes back. Your father is on her side now and is proud of her. If she says something bad about you in front of Jasmine, you won’t be able to bear the consequences.”
Ava pursed her lips. “I don’t believe she can feel good now. I haven’t even told her about Grace’s pregnancy. Grace is missing now. If she gives birth and returns with the child to look for Brian, it will be exciting.”
Shannon punched Ava in frustration. “Don’t make trouble for me. You have to discuss with me what you want to do in the future.”
Ava pouted. “Alright, I got it.”
When Louise returned to her room, she took out her phone and called Grace. The number was unavailable. She went online to search for the Francis Group’s recent movies. As expected, she found the movie adapted from the comic. She looked at the author’s name, Chaos Dreamer. It was obviously Grace.
Louise gripped her phone tightly. If what Ava said was true, she wanted to know what Brian and Grace did behind her back.

The next day, Louise found someone to investigate what Brian did at Imperial Capital Club. A video was sent to her email.
In the video, Justin and Grace entered the room together. Not long after, Justin came out. After a while, Brian entered the room and did not come out until the next morning.
The video made Louise’s face turn pale instantly. She took out her phone and called Brian. Her expression was cold, but her voice was gentle as she said into the phone, “Brian, where are you?”
Brian replied, “At home. Why?”
Louise’s heart turned cold as she listened to his calm voice. “Let’s have dinner together tonight.”
“Okay. You set the place,” said Brian.
At six o’clock in the evening, Louise drove to the restaurant. Brian was already waiting for her in the booth.
Louise walked into the dining room and sat down opposite him.
Brian’s handsome face was gentle. “What do you want to eat?”
