Chapter 16
Diving?
Grace came with interest and stayed in this room for three days. It was also time to go out and relax.
After making the decision, she waved a piece of paper at him to indicate her agreement.
With that, she picked up her bag and was about to leave. As she passed Owen, he furrowed his brow and lifted his head from the computer desk, asking, “Where are you going?”
Responded to him.
It was a loud ‘bang’, the sound of the door closing heavily.
This hit seemed to have smashed into Owen’s heart.
His expression was lost for a moment, then his eyes darkened as he stared at the door. He got up and walked to the window, coldly watching Grace flutter towards Eliezer like a graceful butterfly.
The two of them locked eyes for a moment, then smiled at each other.
For some reason, Owen found this scene very annoying. He scrutinized Eliezer inch by inch with a critical gaze.
The man seemed to sense something and looked up, obediently waved at him, then lowered his head and said something to Grace. She

chuckled and glanced at Owen.
At that moment, it was the familiar sarcasm again.
Owen’s heart sank, and in the next moment, the two of them left shoulder to shoulder, very close. As they turned away, Eliezer flashed him a provocative smile.
Watching the backs of the two people leaving, Owen picked up his phone and dialed his assistant’s number. Soon, the call was answered.
The words “follow Mrs. Morgan” had not been spoken yet.
The assistant was the first to speak: “Mr. Morgan, someone has been sent to follow Mrs. Morgan.”
Abruptly, Owen remembered the moment when he heard about Grace’s extremely angry face when she was being followed.
He took a deep breath, suppressed the indescribable bitterness, and slowly said, “You don’t need to follow me.”
The phone hung up.
Owen continued to work with a serious expression on his face, but the computer screen remained still for a long time.
I don’t know how long had passed.
The phone rang suddenly, it was the notification sound for Grace’s special attention on Weibo. Grace posted a new update.
It was a hand holding the steering wheel, and it belonged to a man.

He said, “These hands can lift two of me.”
There was a loud bang.
Owen felt as if he had been struck by lightning, his mind went blank for a moment, and then his thoughts were in turmoil.
The feeling of losing control made him uncomfortable, his breathing quickened, and the slightly erratic breaths felt like being trapped in an airtight iron cage.
He thought Grace understood boundaries and wouldn’t do anything out of line.
A flash crossed my mind.
Remembering Eliezer’s sarcastic smile, Grace’s inability to do it doesn’t mean that others can’t. He had someone follow her, also to protect her.
The room was silent.
He tapped the desktop lightly with his fingertips, one after another, heavy and powerful.
Send someone? Or not send someone?
Time went back half an hour ago.
When I was downstairs.
Eliezer lowered his head and, with a playful tone, said, “Your husband’s face turned black.”
Just then, Grace burst into laughter.

Her first reaction was disbelief, but when she looked up at Owen, she heard his voice saying, “There have always been people monitoring you.”
With a smile turning into sarcasm in an instant, Grace glanced at Owen and then left with Eliezer.
The car didn’t start until then.
Grace also didn’t see anyone following her. She felt a little better in her heart, it seemed that Owen had taken her words to heart.
“Those people should have been protecting Owen.”
Grace said, as if trying to convince herself, her tone slightly more
intense.
“Should we make a bet then? I bet that what you said is wrong, Eliezer’s tone was extremely confident.”
Grace didn’t even notice the inexplicable panic spreading. Eliezer didn’t even call her Grace after they met.
Eliezer’s gaze was slightly aggressive, as he glanced through the rearview mirror, skimming over her face. His voice was like a demon’s whisper: “If you don’t believe me, you can take a picture of me and post it on social media. The answer will naturally come.”
As if bewitched, Grace took a photo, then put down her phone and glanced at Eliezer, who was driving. “Is this okay?”
“Believe it or not, within a quarter of an hour, someone will be following us.”

Eliezer raised his chin slightly and spoke casually.
Grace’s heart sank.
When expressing her extreme dislike of being controlled, would Owen still have someone follow her?
The silence spread inside the car.
The stopwatch on her wrist was ticking away, tick, tock, tick, tock, each beat hammering on Grace’s heart.
A quarter of an hour later.
There was an empty space behind the car, with no one else following.
Grace blinked her eyes, and suddenly joy surged in her heart. She smiled at Eliezer and said, “I won!”
“Congratulations!”
Eliezer smiled and raised his eyebrows, “As long as Grace is happy,” he said. He glanced at the phone in Grace’s hand, a hint of coldness shining through the gaps in her eyelashes, fleeting.
When did you tell her?
There was a location in the phone.
