Chapter 81
The basement was very cool and it was actually pretty comfortable to sleep in at night so Grace slept very peacefully.
There was nothing bad with being locked in the basement. Grace woke up naturally and comfortably the next day.
After breakfast, she received a call from an unknown number.
“Grace Sherman, this is Justin Vance.” A gentle voice came from the other end of the phone.
Grace gripped her phone tightly and called out calmly, “Dr. Vance.”
“How are you?”
“I’m fine. I just finished eating breakfast.”
Justin asked worriedly, “Really? I’m at the door. Come out and let me take a look.”
“1… I don’t want to
come out now
Justin knew that it was just an excuse. “Tell me honestly, did Brian do something to you?”
Grace pressed her temples. She then made up her mind and hung up.
Justin glanced at his phone and was extremely worried. He immediately dialed her number again, but this time, it went to her voicemail,
He got out of the car and glanced at the door of the villa,
Suddenly, he saw Melvin. He waved at Melvin.
Melvin frowned slightly when he saw who it was. However, he still walked forward and asked politely, “Sir, who are you looking for?”
“Is Grace home?”
Melvin’s expression darkened slightly as he asked again, “Sir, why are you looking for Miss Sherman?”
“I just want to make sure she’s okay. She’s hurt, so I’m worried about her.”
Melvin hesitated for a moment. He looked at Justin and said earnestly, “Sir, if you’re really worried about Miss Sherman, you shouldn’t look for her again in the future.”
Justin frowned. He continued questioning. “What’s wrong with her? Did Brian lock her up?”
Melvin replied with a heavy heart, “I’ll make sure to take good care of Miss Sherman so don’t come again in the future. You’ll be doing her a favor that way”
With that, Melvin turned around and left.
Justin let out a shaky breath and returned to the car. He stared at Grace’s phone number for a long time.

In the afternoon, Grace got up and walked around the basement. The basement was about 150 square feet. There was a window on the wall and a lighted patio outside.
She pushed open the back door of the wine cellar, crossed the patio corridor, and saw a small door.
Brian’s villa was very big. Although she had lived here for almost three years, there were still many places in the villa that she had never been to.
The s
small door was not locked. When she opened it, she realized that it was a hot spring.
She had been to this hot spring once before. However, she had not expected it to be connected to the wine cellar.
The hot spring was located in the southeast corner of the villa. It was quite a distance away from the main building. Although Brian did not come to the hot spring often, there were still servants cleaning this place.
There was a small shower stall beside it. There were clean bathrobes, towels, and a toilet.
She quickly walked to the door and locked it. She then took off her clothes and jumped into the pool.
There was no place to take a shower last night. She was even worried that Brian would end up locking her up for ten days and lice would grow on her b*dy.
Now that she had a place to sleep and shower, she could stay here for a month without a problem.
It was so comfortable that she started to doze off so she got up to put on her clothes. She changed out of her clothes and washed them clean. Then, she returned to the wine cellar wearing her bathrobe before lying on the bed. She ended up sleeping for the entire afternoon.
When s
she w
woke up, she glanced at her phone. There was a text message from an unknown number.
“Grace, as long as you need it, I will do my best to take you away.”
