Chapter 652 – The Scarlet Vengeance: Justice of a Framed Beauty Novel (Grace & Jason)

Filed To Story: The Scarlet Vengeance: Justice of a Framed Beauty Novel (Grace & Jason)

Jay knew from the very beginning that I was wronged, but for the benefit of the company, he chose to do nothing. He chose to say nothing, let me go to prison, and let the Atkinson family wrongly accuse me?’

At this moment, Grace only felt cold.

The steps leading to the first floor in front of her were only a short distance away, and the number of steps was only 30 or so. However, why did she feel that the steps seemed to be getting longer and longer? She eventually had the feeling that she would never reach the end.

“If you really want to give Grace justice, you should let Lily be punished by the law! Both you and the Atkinson family need to accept your due punishment!” Brian said angrily.

He felt bursts of pain in his heart at the thought that Grace was wrongly convicted because of Lily. ‘If I… If I had been by her side, I would never have allowed her to be so unjustly wronged.’

A touch of rage suddenly burst in Jason’s eyes. He rushed forward and grabbed Brian’s collar, “What do you know? Who are you to talk like that in front of me? If I had met Grace earlier and fallen in love with her earlier, I wouldn’t have let her suffer back then!”

2/3 Brian sneered, “Yeah, it’s because you haven’t fallen in love with her at that time, so… her suffering didn’t matter to you. She’s nothing but an ant to you!”

“Brian, what’s your purpose in coming here and telling me this? What’s the matter? Are you trying to tell Grace about this? Are you going to tell her that I didn’t do anything back then? Are you going to tell her that I know who’s responsible for it? If you dare tell her, I’ll… kill you!”

It was not a false threat but a clear message.

Seeing Jason’s fierce behavior, Brian, who had known him for many years, could naturally see how serious he was. He would do anything to hide this fact!

“I won’t,” said Brian. Since he had chosen to tell Jason about it, he had already made up his mind. “But it’s not because I’m afraid of you. It’s only for Grace’s sake.”

Grace was now more than seven months pregnant. Besides, Grace had given him the answers to his question at the funeral today, making him unwilling to ruin her happiness.

Although, he knew that if he told her, Grace and Jason’s relationship would probably suffer and Grace might even leave

Jason.

However… if the life now was what Grace wanted, then… perhaps it was the end of the matter.

Brian also wondered why Old Master Reed had not given the materials to Grace straight but to him instead.

Perhaps… Old Master Reed was also hesitating whether to let Grace know about this, so he chose to let him… make the decision?

Not many people knew about his feelings for Grace, but Old Master Reed probably knew about it.

He seemed to have made the same choice as the old master, choosing not to tell Grace about the matter!

“But Jason, if you do Grace wrong one day, I’ll expose the truth. Even if I can’t bring you down, at least you’ll get the punishment you deserve!” snapped Brian.

“There won’t be such a day!” Jason said coldly.

Grace suddenly found it hilarious when she heard everything the two men said. ‘Why is it up to others to decide whether I should learn about the truth I deserve to know?’

“Jay…” The word escaped her mouth softly. The volume was soft as usual.

However, it made the two men in the hall below stiffen instantly.

The two men looked up almost at the same time and looked in Grace’s direction.

Their expressions instantly changed. Brian was worried and frustrated. After all, he had not intended to let others hear this. Jason had also asked all the maids to leave the main house for the same reason.

The purpose was to make sure no one would overhear their conversation.

However, sometimes, the more you were afraid of something, the more it would happen!

Jason looked at Grace standing at the top of the stairway with astonishment. His face was pale, and all his blood seemed to have frozen when he heard the word ‘Jay’.

‘Jay… Jay…’

As much as he liked hearing her call him that, he was afraid to hear it now.

He had taken precautions against his maids and butler but not her!

He thought she would sleep a little longer and not wake up so soon. He had forgotten to think of the possibility that she might wake earlier.

‘Why? Why am I so careless?

‘Why didn’t I even predict that?

‘Is it because I knew Brian had probably found out about the truth of the case, so I was flustered and my brain was in a mess that I forgot the things I should have thought of?

‘And how long has Grace been standing there? How much of our conversation has she heard?’

He wanted to call to her gently in his usual tone, voice, and smile.

However, his whole body seemed to be quivering. His voice seemed stuck in his throat, and it became extremely difficult to utter a single syllable.

Grace put one hand on the handrail and walked slowly down the stairs step by step.

The stairs, which she was accustomed to, seemed light and airy as if her feet were stepping on cotton.

His face grew paler with every step she took, and by the time she walked down the stairs and came in front of him, there was no more color in his face. Even his lips seemed to have a grayish tint.

The way he looked and what she had just heard was enough for Grace to understand what the truth was.

Even so, she took a deep breath while her almond-shaped eyes sparkled with tears. “Tell me if what Brian said is true.”

His lips trembled, and he opened his mouth. However, he did not know how to answer.

“Was Lily the real perpetrator?” Grace continued asking.

Only then did he speak. “Grace, I… I can explain. I…” His voice, which should have been elegant and gentle, was now hoarse.

“Was it Lily?” she asked persistently.

He was silent. His eyes met her almond-shaped eyes, and the word ‘yes’ finally came out of his thin lips.

“Is it true that you’ve always known the truth but chose not to say anything because of… the deal with the Atkinson family?” she continued asking.

His lips trembled even more. Each of her questions seemed to cut him with a sharp knife, making him feel like he was being executed.

However, the saddest part was that he deserved this execution. He could not even defend himself!

“Yes or no, answer me!” She raised her voice, and her expression became agitated.

He said, “Yes… But Grace, I…”

“Jason, how could you do that? You let someone innocent go to jail for money? You even… You knew what the Atkinson family did to me when I was in prison!” However, he chose not to look into it and just let the matter be.

She previously thought he did that because he had mistaken her as the perpetrator in the car accident.

However, now she knew that she had made a fool of herself.

It turned out… he had known about the truth the whole time. He knew that she was innocent and wronged, but… he did nothing. He did not even have a shred of pity!

“I’m sorry… Grace, I’m sorry…” Jason kept apologizing. He wanted to go up and hug her.

However, she suddenly pushed his hand away. “Sorry… It turns. out that someone’s fate is just this to you. Do you know I almost died in prison? How could you lie to me and fool me like that… How could you…”

Grace frowned suddenly, covering her bulging belly with her hands. She was flustered by the wave of pain in her belly.
