Grace Yowell shivered and urgently shouted, "Daniel, I’m not lying to you, that badge and the words you said to me before you left, they couldn’t possibly be fake! If you still don’t believe me, I can tell you more about our past, our conversations..."
"Even now, are you still planning to deceive me?" Daniel Harris’s gaze landed coldly on Grace Yowell. He had always been too logical, too trusting in these things, so he ignored that feeling in his heart.
Clearly, the moment he saw Mabel Quinn, his heart already felt something. His body’s instincts were already telling him that this woman was different, that she was the one he should pursue.
Yet, time and again, he chose to trust his logic, pushing her further and further away.
"No, I’m not lying to you, I’m not..." Grace Yowell stammered incoherently. As Daniel Harris stepped closer to her, her panic grew, and tears involuntarily rolled down her cheeks; it wasn’t an act, she was genuinely anxious.
Because she knew very well what she would face once Daniel Harris stopped believing her.
Everything she had was given by Daniel Harris, and similarly, he could easily take it all back. Moreover, she had stirred up such a storm online; without Daniel Harris smoothing things over for her, her fate would be worse than just becoming an ordinary person!
But her tears had no effect at all. Suddenly, Daniel Harris’s hand clenched around Grace Yowell’s neck, his icy fingers tightening like steel rods.
"Do you know you made me waste ten years, you made me miss what! Grace Yowell, even if you died a hundred times, it wouldn’t be enough!" Daniel Harris roared fiercely, his hoarse voice filled with deep pain.
Ten years, how many decades are there in a lifetime!
For ten years, he believed he had found the most important person, not knowing that the real girl he was searching for was so close by, in the same city, and how many times they might even have brushed past each other?
Daniel Harris’s actions terrified everyone, and Grace Yowell felt a sense of death looming over her.
Her hands instinctively gripped Daniel Harris’s, trying to pry off the hand choking her, but it was futile.
Her breathing became increasingly difficult, her tongue protruded, and her eyeballs were about to pop out. Mr. and Mrs. Yowell were frantic, Mrs. Yowell hurriedly spoke, "Young Master Harris, no matter what Grace has done wrong, you can’t take her life, you... if you kill Grace, you’d have to go to prison yourself!"
Daniel Harris sneered, "Grace Yowell alone isn’t enough to send me to prison!"
Hearing this, Mr. and Mrs. Yowell turned pale. Daniel Harris was the head of the Harris Family, and even if he did take a life, he had many ways to avoid any consequences for himself.
Mr. and Mrs. Yowell wanted to save their daughter, but Daniel Harris’s Bodyguards blocked them. They couldn’t get close to their daughter, and just when it seemed Grace Yowell would suffocate to death, Daniel Harris’s hand released her, and she collapsed to the ground like a ragdoll, gasping desperately for fresh air.
