Chapter 594
Andrea Schwartz felt speechless right now.
Just then, a colleague who often disagreed with Andrea Schwartz sneered and said, “Hey, someone who wanted to
embarrass an ex-colleague ends up getting embarrassed herself. Maybe she can’t be a lawyer anymore by
tomorrow, just like the ex-colleague. This is a good example for the rookies!”
Andrea Schwartz’s face turned pale suddenly. Long gone was her usual silver tongue. Her eyes were full of panic.
If that happened, she would be nothing but a joke to lawyers. from now on!
Had she known this would happen, she would never have plotted it!
Grace reached the ground floor of the building, but before. she could reach her electric bike, Brian ran up and

Grace tried to pull her arm out of his hand, but it was to no avail. He grabbed her fingers even tighter.
“I just thought it would be a hassle to return the suit jacket. Since the weather is hot now, the shirt will be dry in a
minute,” replied Grace.
“So it doesn’t matter if I’m looking at you like this?” he asked as his eyes darted across her chest.

“I’ve never thought of myself as a man of integrity!” Brian said as he forcibly wrapped his suit jacket around her

crimes.”
“You…” She blushed immensely.
“Keep the suit jacket on. You don’t need to return it to me. It’s. up to you to throw it away or give it away.” He just
did not want her exposed like this.
He did not want it even if it was only faintly visible.
Strangely enough, he would not have cared about any other

on her chest, he felt a pang in his heart. He could not help wanting to protect her and take her under his wings.

Sighing, he offered her options. “Either you go back in my suit jacket, or you buy something to change into. In short,
I don’t want to see you running around like that.”
Grace was about to counter when Brian immediately said, “If you accept neither of these two options, then we can
just waste our time here and see who has better patience.”

Grace was a bit speechless. If she did end up wasting her time here with the crown prince, she would be making
headlines!
Out of the corner of her eye, she caught sight of a clothing
shop not far away and immediately said, “I’ll buy something to wear, then.”
“Sure, where are you going to buy it?” he asked calmly.
