Chapter 783
Kyla Corbyn was startled. She could
tell something was wrong from Grace’s voice. “What’s wrong? Did something happen?”
“Yes. I’ll tell you about it some other day.”
Grace tried hard to make herself sound
natural. “Please tell Nelson I’m sorry that I can’t treat him to cake today. I’ll buy
him a cake some other day.”
“If you’re facing any difficulties, come to
- I may not be able to help you much, but it’s good to have one more person for advice,” said Kyla Corbyn.
She thought of Grace as a friend.
Since her release from prison, she had
left her hometown to avoid Martin
Weiss and cut off ties with all her former
friends. It was safe to say that she only
had a few friends around her now.
The only person she could call a friend
was Grace!
“Thank you, Kyla. Don’t worry. I’ll be
alright,” said Grace before finally ending
the call.
‘Yeah, I’ll be alright. I just got my heart broken again. I just fell from heaven to hell yet again.
‘No, it’s not hell. At least it’s better than
the last time I was wrongly imprisoned.
‘Now, at least I’m free to go wherever I
want and do whatever I want!
‘Instead of just sitting in jail where I get
punched and kicked, having to live every day in fear!’
Grace looked at the phone that was in her hand. It was her old phone from
before.
She had broken the new phone Jason bought her on the hill yesterday, so she put her sim card back into the old phone
she had switched from but could not
bear to throw away.
Look, in the end, she left as she came, Her phone, clothes, luggage, shoes, and socks were all her old belongings.
She was like Cinderella, getting beaten back to her true self once it was past midnight!
Just then, a silver-grey Porsche pulled to a temporary stop near the bus stop. Lina
Sweeney got out of the car quickly and
ran up to Grace. “Grace, you…”
Lina Sweeney’s eyes turned red as she
looked at her friend who was dressed in
old clothes and had two suitcases at her
feet!
‘It’s Grace’s birthday today! It’s supposed to be a happy day for Grace!
‘However, why did this happen to my
best friend?’
Grace slowly raised her head and looked
at Lina Sweeney with a faint smile.
“There you are. I… moved out of Reed
Residence, but… I don’t know where to
go.”
Her smile made Lina Sweeney even
sadder. “Come on. Get in the car first,”
said Lina Sweeney. After all, the bus stop
was not a place for conversation.
Hadwin Stephenson got out of the car and helped Grace carry the two
suitcases into it.
Lina Sweeney pulled Grace into the
backseat of the car.
In the car, Lina Sweeney said nothing but
squeezed her best friend’s hand tightly.
Grace’s hand was so cold when it was
clearly the hottest season of the year.
Grace had nowhere to go. Her rental
house had long since been surrendered.
Hadwin Stephenson found a hotel for Grace to let her stay at temporarily.
However, Grace asked Hadwin
Stephenson to book her a cheap inn
instead.
