OPEN YOUR MASK, PRINCESS!
Episode 352 GROWING CONFIDENCE IN HARIS
Flashback before Grace calls Xiao Jun.
Grace's loud screech attracted the attention of Fang Fang who was cleaning the middle room. The maid dropped the broom in her hand and rushed to Grace's room. How surprised he was to find Grace sitting on the bed with her hair disheveled and crying in fear.
“Nona? You why?” Screeched Fang who was confused by the circumstances back then. He sits next to Grace and tries to hold her hand.
Grace pointed to the box she threw to the floor by the window, unable to explain in more words. Fang Fang turned his gaze in the direction of Grace's index finger, he frowned at the sight of the box being wasted until it was inverted. Fang Fang walked up to the box and grabbed the box. He held back his screams despite being so shocked, now he knew the reason Grace was behaving so.
Fang Fang Fang's trembling hands picked up one after another strands of photos scattered under the pile of boxes. It was clearly a frightening threat marked in the photo. The target is only one person, Stevan, who is covered in blood in each photo. Fang Fang looked at photos of Grace and Stevan together recently, the night Grace poisoned herself. The servant girl covered her mouth, the heavy shock when she saw the moment of her non-kiss did not escape the portrait of the terror. Unfortunately, each angle of the photo more prominently Stevan's face, and did not escape the blood spots deliberately draped into the portrait of Stevan.
“Someone spied on you, miss, but the target was Stevan? Did he threaten you with Stevan?” Fang Fang asked who immediately expressed his opinion.
Grace still seems very shaken, she clearly knows who this is but does not expect the reward for her failure to carry out her brother's mission to impact Stevan. He accidentally hurt someone who loved him. Chen Kho would have easily wiped out Stevan's life, moreover there were spies around Grace who were ready to act whenever Chen Kho gave the order.
In that tension, Grace who still could not make a sound again surprised by the sound of the phone. His body felt cold instantly, his hands even trembling as soon as he saw who was contacting him. It
unable to run anywhere, despite being eager to run to the end of the world to hide, he was sure Chen Kho would easily find him. There was no choice, he had to take the call.
“My beautiful sister, you're not dead, are you? It should be after you come back to life, you know how precious this life is. Especially that guy's life, right? Do you like the gift I sent you? I can give you even better ones, if you're still being rebellious with me!” Cried Chen Kho, his originally deliberately soft voice instantly turned snapping right at the end.
Grace held back her sobbing, she had to catch her breath for a moment before making a sound. “What do you want?” Grace said briefly, suarany sounded shaking so scared.
Chen Kho laughed out loud, his sister's fear being made into a joke that tickled his heart. “You must know I've always supported your relationship with the little man, don't you love him? Your wedding day has been decided, come back soon and your wishes will be realized.”
Grace gasped, now she understood what her brother wanted from this terror. “I just want to marry the one who loves and I love. Xiao Jun is not the one who entered my criteria anymore, I could have gotten the status of marriage with him but not with his heart. I can't marry her sister.” Grace replied softly even though she was afraid, but she tried to be frank.
“Oh, so you're more willing to see your new lover become a denizen of hell? Well if that's what you want, I will easily change his status as deceased.” Che Kho said firmly.
“Do not! Please don't brother! He has nothing to do with this matter. I'd rather die, have your men kill me now!” Pekik Grace, he was afraid to hear the threat of Chen Kho.
Chen Kho's laughter shook again, Your “ is worthless when you die. I won't let you go crazy again, don't expect to die fast as long as your life is still useful to dad.”
“Cruel! You guys kejaaam!” Pekik Grace was offended by her brother's words. So low he was in the eyes of his core family, living only to smooth their interests.
Flashback.
“Miss should contact mister Xiao Jun, I think the master also received terror in another form.” Said Fang Fang, who knew of her employer's problem without needing to ask again, the answer from Grace on the phone had clearly described the situation that the lady was now facing.
her servant, Grace directly contacted Xiao Jun.
“Jun, I need to talk to you one-on-one now!”
Grace's sobs broke again upon hearing Xiao Jun's voice, though insisting on controlling her feelings but still breaking as well. Grace felt she had no other way out, her mind was deadlocked and desperately needed to share this burden on the right people.
“Grace? Were you threatened too?” Ominously Xiao Jun, his voice even sounded small as it whispered.
Grace nodded despite knowing that Xiao Jun could not see her. “Ya .. We have to see you now.”
“Alright, I'll be up to.” in half an hour Xiao Jun replied ending the conversation.

Xiao Jun returned to the dining room, where there were laughter from Lau and Weini. When Xiao Jun appeared again before them, the laughter stopped. Weini looked warmly at her lover, and was instead reciprocated with the man's sweet smile.
“Weini, I have to go back to the office. There is an important and sudden affair to be completed tonight.” Pamit Xiao Jun who at once gave a meaningful look to his father.
“Ah, so .. Yes already, be careful yes. Happy overtime, I won't bother you.” Gentle Weini.
Lau and Haris both knew that it was only Xiao Jun's alibi, they could only remain silent. Until Weini and Haris drove his guests to the front of the house, Harispun sharpened his hearing to know the contents of Xiao Jun's heart.
I'm right, Grace's been threatened. It seems like father's advice is indeed the best path for now. I believe you, father. I'll be home with Grace soon, the rest I'll trust you with.
Xiao Jun voiced inwardly, he knew very well that his father must have listened to it. There was a hint of guilt that Xiao Jun felt, he had doubted his father's thoughts. But the more here, what Haris said the more visible the facts.
Haris gave a smile as soon as he heard the message from his son. Finally, Xiao Jun slowly understood what he was doing, although Haris still left a secret that only he should know. Secrets that
it will be his business at the end.
Thank you for trusting me, my son.
