Sounding a little regretful, Grace said, “But her daughter… is in trouble. Irene Lynch will probably get a heavy sentence. She’ll spend at least ten years in prison, and Oriel Lynch saw her mother get taken away by the police. It’s related to the Reed family and me. Later on…”
Jason said lightly, “The Reed family will cancel her adoption, so you don’t have to worry about how to get along with her in the future.”
“Cancel?” Grace was stunned.
Jason seemed to say matter-of-factly, “Am I supposed to adopt the daughter of a woman who hurt my wife?”
Grace said, “But you adopted her, and Oriel is just a five-year-old girl. In this situation where many people witnessed the scene and it was also live-streamed, I’m afraid it’ll affect her mental state.”
The child would probably be pointed at and criticized.
Perhaps the only way to handle this was to let the child have a change of environment and have a psychologist counsel her.
“You can do whatever you want,” said Jason. He did not care about Oriel Lynch. “But I want Irene Lynch to spend the rest of her life in jail!”
Grace did not have any sympathy for Irene Lynch’s future in jail. After all, if Jay had not caught her in time, she would have fallen from the fifth floor. Even if she survived, she would end up a cripple.
She just felt sorry for Oriel Lynch, who lost her mother’s love and company at such a young age.
“Jay, even if someone tries to hurt me, I don’t want you to get your hands dirty like that again,” she said.
Her heart still fluttered with fear at the thought of what had happened.
It was not because she almost died but because he almost became a murderer!
She would never want him to kill someone for her.
“It doesn’t matter if I get my hands dirty. I don’t care,” he muttered.
She said, “But I do. Jay, your hands are beautiful and clean. I don’t want you to get your hands dirty because of me.”
His eyes glimmered. ‘My hands… They’re already dirty but she doesn’t know about all the dark things. But… if she wants my hands to be clean, then I’ll try to give her what she wants!
He wanted to grant her whatever she wanted.
The car arrived at Reed Residence. Jason and Grace got out of the car.
The three children were already in Reed Residence and were having afternoon tea in the dining room. However, the three little ones looked absent-minded.
As soon as they saw Grace and Jason, they stopped what they were doing.
Jasper rushed to Grace and hugged her. “Daddy, Mommy, why did you come home so late? I’ve been waiting for you for a long time!”
“Didn’t I tell you Daddy and I were going to the police station to tell the police what happened? We came back as soon as we were done,” said Grace.
Mick Reed also walked over. Although he did not say anything, his little face was also full of worry.
After hugging her daughter, Grace also gave her son a big hug. “Mick, you did a great job protecting me today. That’s why I’m safe.”
Mick Reed relaxed and hugged Grace back with his two small arms, feeling the warmth from his mother’s embrace.
“Okay, Mick, why don’t you take Jasper to her room and play first? Daddy and I still have something to say to Wanna,” said Grace.
Mick Reed looked at Grace and Oriel Lynch, who kept her head down and was silent. He nodded and led Jasper away.

She said, Wannay voter mommy.may have to y in the police station for n the Antither woman will livs h you and take care of you during 1 tht time ce did her best to put it mildly not wanting irens Lynch’s dent to affect the child too much.
wever, Oriel Lynch suddenly looked dip and shouted at ace, “I don’t want another woman tadable core of me! I just ht my mommy! You stopped her frommt coming back, didn’t “No, Wanna, Listen to me…”
“It’s your fault. It’s your fault! Mommy said you’re the worst. It’s because of you that Mr. Reed doesn’t like my mommy!” With that said, Oriel Lynch jumped off the chair, ran up to Jason, and said, “Mr. Reed, she’s a bad person. She bullied my mommy. Mr. Reed, didn’t you used to help us chase away bad people? Can you chase her away? That way, my mommy can come back!”
Grace’s heart sank. She did not expect a five-year-old to say such things.
Jason looked at Oriel Lynch coldly. “Who taught you to say that? Who told you Young Madam is a bad person?”
Oriel Lynch was startled by the look in Jason’s eyes but she still tried to look pitiful and said, “Mommy said… she’s not a good person. She doesn’t like Mr. Reed at all. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have left you for five years! Mr. Reed, Mommy… Mommy and I like you very much. We’re never gonna leave you. Will you chase her away? I… I’ll be a good daughter. I’ll be better than Jasper Reed—”
“That’s enough!” Jason interrupted Oriel Lynch and said coldly, “You were never my daughter. The Reed family took care of you just because Mick wanted a sister, but it doesn’t mean you can say such things. You’ll understand what your mother did after you grow up. You never have to enter Reed Residence again!”
“Jay, she’s just a kid,” Grace could not help saying. Although what Oriel Lynch said about her disappointed her, she found slightly cruel to tell a child the same age as jasper such a reality.
“So what? Even if she’s a kid, she should know what’s right and wrong! She should know who’s in the wrong rather than saying anything she wants just because she’s young!” said Jason. Then, he summoned the maids and told them to take Oriel Lynch away from Reed Residence.
“No, Mr. Reed, I’m your daughter and the daughter of the Reed family. I’m better and more obedient than Jasper Reed. Why do you want Jasper and not me?” Oriel Lynch cried loudly and wanted to approach Jason.
However, she was only five years old. A maid picked Oriel Lynch up in her arms and quickly left.
Grace sighed and asked, “Are you still going to cancel the adoption?”
“We never did the formal paperwork for it. I just announced it.
The so-called cancelation is only an announcement,” said Jason. Then, he paused a little before adding, “Even if you’re against it this time, I’m going to announce the cancelation of the adoption.”
Grace pursed her lips and said nothing more.
She knew that if Oriel Lynch had not said what she said, maybe lay would not have made this decision. However, Oriel Lynch thought of her as an enemy, so they could not keep her.
“Then, her life…”
Jason said, “Irene Lynch has made a lot of money from the Reed family in the past two years. Otherwise, how do you think she was able to lead such a life with only 200,000 dollars of monthly allowance from the Reed family? Even if Irene Lynch goes to jail, the money’s enough to raise Oriel Lynch.”
Grace thought about it and agreed. Besides, the Reed family had never formally adopted Oriel Lynch. To put it bluntly, they did not have any legal ties to Oriel Lynch. Once Irene Lynch went to jail, Oriel Lynch’s guardian would change to her next of kin, which would be her biological father or her grandparents.
It would be hard for outsiders to intervene.
“Don’t worry. I’ll ask Terrence to follow up on the child. You His cold voice murmured. He wanted more of her. He wanted her to get rid of the fear that remained in his heart.
Even though she was alive and well before him, did she know how scored he was earlier? The scene of her nearly falling from the building kept recurring to him!
Fortunately, he had caught her!
Fortunately, he pulled her back into his arms!
Furthermore, she was safe!
“Grace…” he uttered hoarsely. It was as though her name had branded into his bones. It was a name forever engraved in his memory…
He swept her damp bangs aside with his fingers and kissed her forehead. “No one can hurt you nor kill you. I won’t allow it.”
He carried her lovingly into the bathroom as he spoke.
He washed her body gently. She was still asleep, and her pretty face seemed so delicate under the bathroom’s soft “Grace, I’m yours too,” he mumbled as he gently dried her body and carried her back to bed.
She slept soundly, but he was not yet sleepy.
From time to time, the scene of her almost falling from the building kept recurring to him.
