He dragged her toward the upstairs sitting room. "Let me go!" Grace shook off his grip, but tears still slipped down, soaking into her blouse. "That's your attitude when you talk to me?" Ethan's deep-seated machismo bared its teeth. "Do you even realize everything you have today is because of me?" He grabbed her wrist hard, ignoring her struggles, not caring if it hurt. That single sentence made Grace go quiet.

After a pause, she whispered hoarsely, "All because of you?" What exactly had he done for her? Did he mean the endless housework, the meals she had to cook and deliver just because he wanted "home food"? Or the house he claimed as his, when half the down payment had come from her? "The house, didn't I pay for half of it? Pinnacle's shares, if I hadn't agreed, you wouldn't have your twenty-five percent. And all those investors trying to buy in? I turned them down for you. Grace, do you have no sense of gratitude?" Shameless. Her wrist ached.

"Ethan, let me go." "And if I don't?" His eyes burned red. "Grace, from now on, in this house, you'd better watch your tone with me. I don't care how you treat my mother or Evelyn, but with me, you remember who comes first." "Throw away that pile of junk you're clinging to. Get your emotions under control. Don't let it affect your work." With that, he flung her wrist aside like a rag. Junk... The word hit Grace like a whip. She snapped, "That so-called junk is what keeps Pinnacle alive. How can you despise it?" 1/6 11:35 Mon, Feb 16 Chapter 6 Grace, You've Really Grown Bold Ethan froze.

"What did you say?" She bit her lip, realizing too late what she'd revealed. VPN 76 +10 Free Coins But he only laughed, cold and mocking. "Grace, you really are delusional. I'll admit your embroidery has some merit, but don't get cocky. What, you think you're the master embroiderer who just won the International Top Ten award? Instead of being arrogant, maybe you should focus on fixing your obvious mistakes. You'll never be famous at this rate." His words cut like knives, he was too practiced at belittling her. Grace looked up.

"If one day I do become famous, will you apologize for this?" Apologize? That word barely existed in Ethan's world. And if it did, it was nothing but perfunctory. He never believed he was wrong, let alone admitted mistakes. He tilted her chin up, his voice slow and certain. "You'll never be famous. Any woman with true talent had already won awards at your age." Dodging the point, while twisting the knife deeper. Her heart splintered. "Why is it you've never once encouraged me? Always tearing me down. If you think I'm so worthless, why not just break up with me?" "You're being childish.

Don't you get it? Sweet words only make people complacent. I'm pushing you to be better. It's called tough love." Grace had nothing left to say. She shut her eyes, clutching the torn embroidery in her hands, and walked downstairs. "Ethan, did Grace just leave?" Ethan had been listening closely. She'd seen Grace walk out carrying the ruined scraps. Ethan's expression was dark. "Don't worry about her. If she left, she'll come back sooner or later. Just rest."
