Grace instantly felt like she was
on steroids.
The next day, she was
discharged from the hospital. She eagerly rushed back home to get her passport.
When Jaydon learned that Grace was going to Melta to look for Darcy, he was so angry that he felt like spitting blood. “What? You really want to go to Melta to look for that Darcy?”
“Yes. I’m going to find him,” Grace said with a stubborn look.
“No, you can’t go.” Jaydon’s face darkened as he rejected

decisively.
Grace looked at him with dissatisfaction. “Why?”
“You’re a girl, you should be more reserved. Chasing after a man like this… Even if you
catch him, he won’t treasure
you.”
Jaydon was a playboy in his early years.
Of course, he knew better than anyone about what the men were thinking.
If it were him, he would not cherish a woman who was
rushing to throw herself at him.

After all, things that come too easily seem cheap.
“Jaydon, it’s already the modern era. How can you still have such thoughts? Nowadays, men and women emphasize equality…”
“It’s said to be equality, but in many aspects, it’s still unequal. When a man and a woman are together, it’s usually the woman who ends up at a disadvantage, don’t you know
that?
“Women are like cars, the more
they change hands, the
cheaper they become. Don’t
you understand?” Jaydon added.

“How can you say that? You’re being so disrespectful. This analogy is just not right,”
“It’s not about disrespecting you; I’m just using an analogy. Reality can be cruel. You’re a girl, and you need to learn to protect yourself and maximize your value. In front of men, you should be more reserved.
“You have to let him chase after you. Let him cherish you, rather than you desperately pursuing him,” Jaydon persuaded Grace earnestly.
He had a lot of personal
experience with this viewpoint.
The harder it was to obtain
something, the more precious

it was.
Just like when he pursued
Joanna.
Joanna had always rejected
him and never allowed him to
succeed easily.
Therefore, she became an unattainable love in his heart and an unsettled obsession. Even now, he still placed her in the most important position.
If she had easily slept with him when he pursued her back then, he probably would have forgotten about her by now.
“Jaydon, I’m going regardless. Whether you agree or not, I’m going,” Grace insisted.

When Jaydon heard this, he was so angry that he wanted to slap Grace’s face. “I said you can’t go, so you can’t go.
“Even if you really want to be in a relationship with him, you have to wait until he comes
back.”
“Joann already agreed to let me go. Moreover, I’m not only going to see Darcy this time. Also, I’m also going to keep an eye on Bruce for Joanna.”
Grace said, trying to convince Jaydon, and she mentioned Joanna to add some weight to her argument.
“What?” Jaydon frowned, unable to believe what he was

hearing.
Checking on someone like this
was something Joanna would never have bothered to do in
the past.
Now, she was actually learning to keep an eye on Bruce’s whereabouts.
“Let’s go. Come with me to Joann now. If she really agrees
to you going, then I won’t stop you.”

With that, Jaydon dragged Grace to the hotel to look for
Joanna.
In the hotel, Joanna had already finished packing and was planning to take the

children back to Greyport.
“Jay, Grace, why are you here?” Joanna asked, surprised to see
them.
Jaydon’s expression darkened. He asked bluntly, “Joann, do you agree to Grace going to Melta?”
Joanna was stunned for a moment before nodding. “Well, since she wants to go, let
her go.
“Bruce is in Walston now. He’s got a villa there, and Grace will be taken care of by someone. So, it won’t be dangerous,” she explained.
Jaydon felt a lump in his throat

after hearing this.

“Look, Joann has already agreed. What else do you have to say now?” Grace chimed in.
“No, I’m not comfortable with it. I don’t agree with you going there.”
Grace was furious. “I won’t be going alone. I’ll have assistants and bodyguards with me!”
“That’s still not acceptable!” Jaydon’s face darkened as he objected.
If his sister was only going on a trip, he would definitely not care about her.
But now, he seriously

suspected that Bruce was doing something dangerous. If Grace went, she might be implicated.
“Give me your passport, and stay at home obediently. Don’t go anywhere!” he ordered.
Grace was so angry that tears
welled up in her
eyes. She
shouted angrily, “Jaydon, why have you become so
unreasonable now? I’m starting to dislike being around you. It’s getting harder and harder to communicate with you.”
“I’m doing this for your own good. Darcy will be back in three to five months. Can’t you wait for a few months?
“As a girl, can’t you be more
10/20
reserved?” Jaydon didn’t understand her sister’s
behavior either.
Seeing that the siblings were
arguing non–stop, Joanna quickly stopped the fight. “Alright, alright, stop arguing.
“Grace, since Jaydon doesn’t agree to let you go, then don’t go. Just wait at home for Darcy to come back, that’s also fine.” she suggested.
Grace cried in anger, then turned and ran away in tears.
Jaydon sighed deeply and said with a heavy expression, “Joann, it’s not that I don’t agree for her to go, I’m just
worried…

“Worried about what?” Joanna asked him carefully.
Jaydon sighed deeply again. “I don’t know how to explain it to you.”
Now, he only suspected that Bruce’s identity was not
simple. He even suspected that he might be involved in some illegal activities.
However, he did not dare to tell Joanna openly. It would seem as if he was deliberately stirring up trouble and sowing discord.
“We have such a good relationship. Why can’t you
just tell me?” Joanna looked at him in confusion.

Jaydon shrugged and smiled gently at her. “Forget it, I hope it’s just me overthinking things”
“Jay, by saying half and leaving the other half, you leave people hanging and unable to let go. What do you really want to say? Just tell me directly,”
Jaydon pondered for a few seconds and hesitated. “Joann, it’s not that I want to sow discord. I just feel that Bruce is a little strange.”
“What do you mean by strange?” Joanna asked blankly.
“It’s hard to describe the feeling, but he’s just different. His way of doing things, his

words and actions, are unlike
others.
“And sometimes, his behavior is very mysterious and hard to figure out.”
Joanna blinked her eyes, and her mind was in confusion.
Sometimes, she also felt that Bruce was indeed a little
strange.
However, he had always been unique and unconventional. He was naturally different from ordinary people.
Otherwise, he would not have
become the richest man in Greyport.
“Also, as I said, don’t think too novelbin

much about it. I keep feeling
that Aria is even more strange.
Is she really just classmates with Bruce?
“If they are, then their relationship as classmates is too unusual,” Jaydon added.
When Joanna heard this, her heart subconsciously sank.
She agreed with him on this point.
Since even Jaydon could tell that their relationship was not ordinary, Joanna’s suspicion
was not wrong.
There must be a hidden secret between Bruce and Aria. It was something that they didn’t
13/20
12:43 A Chapter 1039
want others to know.
Perhaps it was not a romantic relationship between a man and a woman, but it was
definitely a complicated and
mysterious connection
Thinking of this, Joanna broke out in a cold sweat for no
reason.
“Jay, then tell me, what should I do?”

When Jaydon heard this, he looked at Joanna with a solemn expression.
To be honest, if it was in the past, he would definitely persuade Joanna to leave Bruce.

No matter what, she must
protect herself first.
However, Bruce had helped him. He had pulled him out of the bottomless abyss when he was at his most helpless.
If he turned against Bruce now, it wouldn’t be fair and
honorable.
“Joann, don’t think too much for now. Relax a bit.
“It’s possible that we are overthinking things, and our assumptions might be wrong. Whatever happens, we will deal with it as it comes.
“Since Bruce transferred all his
assets to your name, t shows

“No matter what, you won’t be left with nothing.”
When Joanna listened, she felt
even more uneasy.
She had never been too
obsessed with money.
If Bruce did not love her, she
wouldn’t want to take his
money.
“It’s all my fault. I was just spouting nonsense. Please don’t take it to heart.
“After all, you two are already
married. Even if something
happens, you have to face it together.

“As for Bruce and Aria, maybe you can try to be more open- minded about it.” Jaydon did not know how to comfort her, so he could only choose
something good to say.
He mentioned that many wealthy women in Greyport would turn a blind eye to their husbands‘ affairs outside the
marriage, so perhaps she could take a similar approach.
