She stole my wedding and home! I'm done! novel

Chapter 14 Breaking Point Chapter 14 Breaking Point +10 Free Coins Ryan had been buried in schoolwork, but when he finally checked the news from Anston, he saw everything had blown up. He'd rushed to find his sister, only to end up in a car accident. Knowing he had come because of her made Grace's heart ache. "Don't worry about me. What happened with Ethan, it's just a business strategy." Ryan's eyes narrowed. "What kind of business strategy swaps out the bride?" He was sharp, as sharp as she was. And her excuse was laughable. "You and Ethan split, didn't you?" His words were blunt.

"I'm your brother. Why hide it from me?" Grace said nothing. Ryan's expression hardened. "So you did split. Good. You should quit altogether. Titan Group has been after you, right? I heard from my roommate, his cousin is Titan's CEO. He's coming back soon." "Grace, Ethan's no good. He's got the makings of a snake. If you stay, you'll lose everything." His instincts were already proving true. Grace rubbed her temple. "Just rest. Don't worry about me." But her mind was elsewhere, on the emergency funds she'd hidden away.

She needed to repay Andrea quickly, and she'd need a new phone, a new bank card. All these years, everything she earned on the surface went straight into Ethan's accounts. And now he'd stolen it all. If not for the stash she had kept secret, she'd have nothing. That money had been meant as backup funding for Pinnacle Designs. Now it was her only lifeline. Titan Group, Director's Office. Andrea had just passed on a message. "Daniel, it looks like Grace and Ethan are finished. She's been reassigned to the embroidery division.

Her office was cleared out." In their industry, such moves never stayed quiet. Daniel scrolled through his phone, a cigarette smoldering between his fingers. Only after a long pause did he speak. "Set a meeting. I'll talk to her myself." 1/3 Chapter 14 Breaking Point +10 Free Coins Soon, all of Anston would know about the rift. Rival embroidery firms and especially HarpSilk Embroidery down south, would fight tooth and nail to recruit her. A world-class embroiderer in double-sided embroidery, rare even internationally. Who wouldn't want her? Only a blind man like Ethan could throw that away.

Grace repaid Andrea promptly, and to thank her, invited her to dinner the next time she returned to Anston. Andrea agreed with a smile. Back at the hospital, Grace said nothing about her private life. But Ryan wasn't letting her off easy. "Your eyes are red. What's going on?" "My brother was in a car accident. Of course I'm upset." Ryan just stared, silent and unyielding. Grace could feel his disapproval. "I'll discharge myself if you keep hiding things." Ryan wasn't bluffing. Grace finally admitted, "It's nothing. Just...

I'm realizing more and more that Ethan and I aren't right for each other." She hesitated before adding, "I'll always be grateful to his father. He was the one who jumped in to save you. I've felt I owed them ever since. That's why I stayed, why I thought enduring was worth it." Ryan's voice cut sharp. "Gratitude isn't love. If you're with him out of debt, the balance of power was wrong from the start. Eventually he'll crush you with it." Grace gave a faint laugh. "You've never even been in love. How do you talk like a sage?" "Because people are people.

Love doesn't change the truth." He leaned closer. "Break up with him. If the Carters ever need help, I'll step in. You don't have to sacrifice yourself." He'd disliked Ethan from the beginning, without needing a reason. Something about the man screamed unreliable. The kind who might suffer with you, but never celebrate with you. And he was right. "I'll be fine here. Go back to work," Ryan told her. "Not a chance," Grace shot back. 2/3 Chapter 14 Breaking Point +10 Free Coins "Grace, listen to me. Nothing is more important than your career. Not even me. Your work is yours.

It's what will sustain you for life. I can't promise that." Losing their parents young had forced him to grow up fast. His realism was sharp, but his values were solid, nothing like Ethan's cruelty. "Then you'll transfer to Anston," Grace countered. "Best hospital in the city. You can heal there, study online. Otherwise, I'm not leaving." Ryan glared. "Fine. Fine." Within days, Grace had him moved to Anston's top hospital, determined to keep him safe.
