Chapter 9

When Grace heard my words, her hands went from relaxed to half-clenched fists, her fingertips turning white.

She reached out to touch me, but I recoiled in disgust.

"Do you really hate me that much?"

I waved my hand dismissively, curling my lip in cold disdain: "You make me sick."

In that instant, my words shattered all of Grace's self-esteem. Her shoulders slumped, no longer straight and proud.

Grace turned away, stumbling as she left, muttering repeatedly.

"I'll make you happy, I'll make everyone know how much I love you."

Jaxon cupped my face, frowning as he grumbled, "Don't you dare go soft on her!"

I laughed, poking his palm, "I know, feeling sorry for women is the beginning of a man's misfortune."

Seeing that the materials were gradually arriving at my place, I instructed my parents to find a factory near us.

After some discussion, the factory said they could do it.

Jaxon also found an amusement park where I could set off my fireworks.
