Love after Divorce novel Chapter 199

"Marcus, who is outside?"

Grace wanted to know who was coming, but Marcus covered his mouth.

"Don't make a sound. It's Louis."

Louis was here!

Grace's eyes were wide open and full of panic.

"Marcus, so what do we do now?"

She thought they were finished.

How did Louis get here!?

If he saw her in Marcus' room, wouldn't that make him suspicious of her?

"What's the panic?"

Marcus let go of her and straightened her clothes for her.

Thinking of something, he curled his lips, pulled out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it. Then he pulled Grace's arm and burned it directly on it with the cigarette.

"Ah!"

With a scream, Grace flung Marcus away, blanching with pain.

She looked at Marcus with a frightened and unsure face.

"Pretend to cry and show weakness."

Marcus opened the door after a few more impatient knocks.

Grace covered her arm and cold sweats broke out on her forehead.

Now she realized that Marcus was telling her to pretend to be bullied by him so that she could muddle through.

No need to pretend, she was already in pain with tears in her eyes.

Louis, of course, heard Grace's scream.

His cold and sharp eyes swept over Marcus and then back to Grace.

"Louis."

Grace bit her lower lip, pretending to be extremely stoic. Then she covered her arm and walked quickly to Louis' side.

Louis glanced at her, pulled her hand away, and saw her arm where had been burned by cigarette.

"Mr. Scott, aren't you going to explain?"

Louis took the medicine box that Ivan brought and administered the medicine to Grace.

"The Scott family and the Johnson family are deadly rivals, so be careful and avoid Marcus in the future."

Marcus would have set his eyes on Grace and should have something to do with him.

It was kind of like he got her involved.

"I got it."

Grace felt a little bit relieved.

Marcus just used this move of bitterness to dispel Louis's doubt about her.

On the other side, the hotel restaurant.

Instead of rushing back, Violet wanted to take the opportunity to hear people's comments about the Tasty Interlude Bakery and see if she can improve it.

"Hey, have you heard? Mr. Johnson just came to visit. It is said that he gave an order for Grace, the manager of the housekeeping department, saying that Marcus and dogs are not allowed to enter in the future!"

"I heard about it too! Marcus is the eldest son of the Scott Group. It seems he hurt Manager Grace before Mr. Johnson gave the order."

"It seems that Mr. Johnson likes Grace very much! The two of them already have a son, so maybe they're getting close!"
