Spoiled by the Silver Fox novel Chapter 494

Sebastian looked on, chuckling to himself.

Priceless.

Everyone knew that the kind of stuff you only do when you're sloshed, you could never pull off sober.

In vino veritas, every move was a real tell from deep down.

Gracie just stood there, fingers starting to tremble.

He was really pushing her buttons.

He was drunk, but she wasn't!

Ashley caught sight of this and couldn't help but sigh. She handed Emily off to Stephanie, then walked over and said, "Gracie, do you feel like I owe you so much that I could never pay you back in this lifetime? Maximus is already like this; don't you feel the least bit sorry for him? I’ve ruined my life and dragged you down with me, and you've dragged him down too. I'm the culprit! You seduced him first, and I don't think he was wrong in the first place! It was everyone, not just him, who didn't step up! I, the one involved, don't blame them; who gives you the right to? Maximus did nothing wrong. You’re just taking out your anger on him; that's the real mistake! Maximus doesn't owe you anything. You lured him in, he developed feelings for you, and then you treat him like this. Is that fair?"

Gracie shot her a cold glance and said "I did it all for you!"

"Gracie, you don't know... when he's drunk, he's like a goofball... counting on his fingers, calculating... how much he'll make after this film... can buy a sapphire ring for his wife, how much he'll make after that film, after tax... can buy you a house, only in your name... He also said that childbirth is like going through death: You’re scared of pain; he won't let you have kids; it's so touching; the odd thing is, this guy, when he sobers up, it's like nothing ever happened; he’s working hard to make money; I refuse to believe you don't know how hard he's hustling in the entertainment industry."

"That's right!"

Deep down, Gracie had to be moved, even a little.

Their relationship used to be really great—maybe not as passionate as Ashley and Jeffrey's, but their calm and steady love was just as touching.
