Chapter 940
She eventually learned from her eldest
brother that Grace had Jason as her
backup, and she suffered all these
because of Jason.
Fearing that Jason would continue to take revenge on her, her family sent her
abroad.
Even when she was abroad, she still kept her eye on Grace.
She learned that Grace had moved out
of Reed Residence and was currently living in a small rental house. She was also only working as a mere paralegal in
a law firm. As such, she concluded that
Jason must have dumped Grace and that
was why she returned at once.
She planned to get back at Grace a few
days later and make her crippled as well
so that she could get rid of the hatred in
her chest. However, she did not expect to
see Grace at the banquet first.
“Who are you with this time? You probably went all out to get in here because you want to approach Jason.
Just look at you! Jason was momentarily
interested in you. Now, without Jason, you’re nothing. Do people like you have the right to stand here?”
Zoe snarled.
Grace ignored Zoe. She caught a
glimpse of Sean and Lily walking over.
Thinking about it now, it was only natural
to see them at a banquet that was full of
Emerald City’s socialites.
Although Lily was no longer a popular
actress, she was still the second
daughter of the Atkinson family. She
seemed as conceited as ever.
Even though she had walked up to
her, Lily said with a smile, “What a
coincidence to run into you here. Congratulations on your case reversal,
but the Atkinson family doesn’t owe you anything for this. It was the judge who
found you guilty, after all.”
She looked so conceited. It was as if the
word ‘congratulations’ was an act of
charity.
Grace said lightly, “Really? But you do owe Jennifer justice. Speaking of which, when the heiress of a family like the
Atkinson family died in an accident, why didn’t you look into it? Or did the
Atkinson family just want a scapegoat
like me?”
“You…” Lily’s expression changed a little
as she sized up Grace.
‘Zoe told me that Grace has broken up
with Jason, but why is Grace here
wearing such an expensive gown and
jewelry?
‘Could it be… Lily had a bad feeling
about this.
On the other hand, Sean just stared at
Grace in a trance. She was wearing a
light purple dress with a pearl necklace, making her look so poised and elegant.
She looked different from how she
previously looked like in a fluorescent uniform while holding a broom.
She was even more radiant than she had
been before she went to prison.
He had known she was beautiful, or else
he would never have courted her and
Her beauty was not the eye-catching type, but a comfortable quiet elegance. The more you looked at her, the more
comfortable you would feel. It was like a gurgling stream, instead of raging seas or rivers, that would seep into your heart.
He thought of the last time he went looking for her regarding Lily’s blacklist incident. However, she had only looked
at him coldly. There was no trace of their past affection in them.
Well, he did give her up like she was a
sacrifice.
