Chapter 201 – The Scarlet Vengeance: Justice of a Framed Beauty Novel (Grace & Jason)

Grace rushed down the mountain and went straight to the Cummins family’s house. No matter how she rang the bell or knocked on the door, nobody came to open the door for her.

Shortly after, the neighbor next door informed her that her father and her stepmother had gone on a vacation and nobody was in. As for Evelyn, according to the neighbor, she had bought a larger house and thus hardly came home.

When Grace heard that, she knew that her father and stepmother had done so on purpose. They knew that she would be visiting her mother’s grave today and thus planned to be away at this time.

’50 million. Her scalp numbed at the thought of her father’s request.

With her current situation, she had no way of producing 50

million for her father!

After Grace bid farewell to the neighbor, she called Evelyn, “Where are you? I need to meet you.”

“I’m sorry, but I’ve been very busy lately,” Evelyn answered lazily.

“I only want to ask you one question, where did dad shift my mother’s grave?” Grace asked.

“I don’t know.” Evelyn’s tone was filled with mockery.

“Then where are they having their vacation? You should know.”

“Oh, how unfortunate. I don’t. Why don’t I let them know that you’re looking for them once they come back.”

At this time, Grace heard a man’s voice in the background.

“This lipstick color doesn’t suit you.”

Grace was taken aback. She recognized that the voice belonged to Brian.

The voice was followed by Evelyn’s which imitated the tone of a baby, “I thought you liked this color. I’ll change it to another one later.”

Evelyn said to Grace over the phone, “Alright, that’s it. I still have matters to attend to.” With that said, she ended the call.

Grace looked at the phone in her hand and felt an inexplicable feeling.

Just a few days ago, she met Brian. At that time, Brian said to her… yet right now, he was elsewhere, discussing which lipstick color suited Evelyn more.

For a man like Brian, perhaps he merely wanted to try something new; that was why he said those words to her as if he had special feelings for her. Nevertheless, it was without at doubt that men like Brian had feelings for many women.

Just like how he had been with his ex-girlfriends and was currently with Evelyn.

Once such type of men lost their interest, they were the cruelest. Similar to how Grace had witnessed the cruelty he had toward his previous girlfriend.

As for that particular ex-girlfriend, she used to be the hottest celebrity in the industry with a bright future. However, she was now nowhere to be heard or seen.

Grace kept her phone and could not help but feel her heart. sink. She could not afford to fork out 50 million. Additionally, she was unable to track where her father and stepmother were.

Even so… if she found them a few days later, would they reveal the location of her mother’s grave?

At that time, what price would they expect her to pay?

Grace thought that her life was at the bottom of the pit already, yet she realized that the worst had yet come.

On the other end, Brian watched as Evelyn kept her phone. He casually asked, “Who called?”

“Was looking for my parents. They’re on a holiday so the person contacted me instead.” Evelyn purposefully said it casually before going closer to Brian. “Brian, what lipstick color do you like? In the future, I’ll only use the color that you like.”

Brian furrowed his brows. His gaze once again landed on

Evelyn’s lips. No matter how he looked at the bright red color, he found it annoying.

At the same time, another pair of lips that had never worn lipstick before appeared in his mind in its natural color.

That light pinkish tone looked so natural that it made him feel it was the best lip color.

“Wipe it off,” Brian plainly said.

“What?” Evelyn was unable to process his words.

“I said, wipe away your lipstick now,” Brian said.

Evelyn was dumbfounded. They were now… on the way to an event. She had dressed up to the nines because she wanted to shine amidst the crowd. If she were to wipe away her lipstick, her makeup would lose its attractiveness. Then, she would not stand out in the crowd and instead become the joke of the town.

“Now? But we’re about to reach the location of the party…”

“Now.” Brian interrupted her. There was an expression of displeasure in his phoenix-like eyes.

Evelyn had no choice as she dared not offend Brian. All she could do was bite her lip lightly, take out a tissue, and wipe her lips.

On the other hand, Brian took out a silver bangle and looked at it. The pulp of his finger lightly caressed it and it was as if he was looking at his lover. Such gentleness in his gaze had never been seen before.

At the very least, Evelyn had never seen such a gentle gaze from Brian before.

Evelyn looked into her pocket mirror as she cleaned off her lipstick and saw the gentle look on Brian’s face. Consequently, she felt a sense of jealousy surge within her.

She finally understood what the bangle represented because she had once taken a peek at Brian’s drawing. The drawing was of a girl wearing a silver bangle on each hand.

She guessed that the silver bangle belonged to that girl.

Within the entertainment industry, it was rumored that Brian had been searching for someone. If anyone could help him find that person, that helper would receive endless amounts of resources within the entertainment industry.

At first, Evelyn thought that the rumors were baseless as such kinds of rumors frequently surfaced and circulated within the industry.

However, from what she observed, the rumor appeared to be true.

The person Brian was looking for was the girl in his drawing! Nevertheless, Evelyn had never asked about nor mentioned the girl she had seen in the drawing. However, she had secretly snuck into his painting room at that time.

That was when her sixth sense told her that he was definitely looking for that girl.

What made her more anxious was the feeling that the girl.

was Grace was seemingly getting stronger. Grace looked very alike the girl in the drawing back. Grace had a childhood photo where she was wearing the same flowery dress as the girl in the drawing.

Was it a coincidence?

If Grace was the person Brian looking for, then… what she had now would turn into ashes?

That was absolutely unacceptable for Evelyn. Even if Grace were that girl, she was not going to let Brian find out!

When Jason returned to the Reed Residence, he heard from the maids that Grace was home.

However, when he got to her room, it was pitch black.
