Grace Gordon's ear bone pressed against Stanhope Brown's chest, and she could clearly hear the strong heartbeat within Stanhope's chest cavity.
"I heard that to get votes... you agreed to the President to investigate a case for him?" Stanhope's mellow voice resonated within his chest cavity, and Grace could hear everything clearly.
Grace's hand on Stanhope's chest tightened and she asked, "Do you want to stop me?"
"This is the path... that you chose. I have no reason to stop you." Stanhope hugged Grace even tighter.
Grace's pupils brightened, seemingly in disbelief... but soon dimmed down again: "I made an appointment with Emma White... I will go to the Brown Family Mansion tomorrow to see her."
Stanhope's expression and heartbeat remained unchanged, as if... he knew everything already.
"If... taking revenge on Emma White is also the path I choose... would you stop me?" Grace asked.
