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

Grace was a bit confused. “Maybe later when you see Howell

Webb, you can ask if he’ll give you his phone number too?”

“I’d love to, but…” Hadwin Stephenson’s warning earlier.

flashed in Lina Sweeney’s mind. Then, she trembled and said,

“I’d better not.”

Who would have expected Hadwin Stephenson to tell her, “You’re my girlfriend now. If I find out that you and Howell Webb are more intimate than ordinary fans and idols, I’ll blacklist him in the entertainment industry. You might not see. him on screen again.”

If someone else had said that, she would have thought that they were joking, but it was Hadwin Stephenson…. Lina. Sweeney guessed that with his narrow-mindedness, he might actually do such a thing.

Therefore, she should just forget about the phone number. She would be content with just a photo together, an autograph, and better still, a few posters.

Before long, a young woman came up to Grace and Lina

Sweeney. She said, “Hello, Miss Cummins.”

Grace recognized her as Howell Webb’s a**istant whom she had met with Howell Webb last time.

“Hello,” responded Grace.

“Please follow me, ladies.” She led the way along a separate staff pa**age. Grace and Lina Sweeney followed.

Grace did not expect to take only a few steps before bumping into Evelyn on the staff pa**age.

Evelyn was now with her manager. They seemed to be talking to each other about something.

Grace wanted to pretend they did not know each other, but after seeing Grace, Evelyn took the initiative to say with a smile on her face, “Gee, what a coincidence, Sis! What are you. doing here?”

Grace squinted suspiciously. Evelyn had always disliked the idea of revealing their relationship as sisters in public. She felt disgraced by her imprisonment.

However, she was not being herself now.

The a**istant leading the way alongside Grace showed a look. of surprise, apparently not expecting Grace to be sisters with

Evelyn.

“This is the staff pa**age. Are you… Here for Howell Webb?” Evelyn recognized the a**istant beside Grace to be the a**istant Howell Webb brought with him today.

“Miss Cummins and her friend want to take a photo with Mr. Webb and get an autograph.” The a**istant offered to explain.

After all, Evelyn’s words were ambiguous, and this was the staff pa**age near the entrance. There were many fans gathered here watching them. If it caused any misunderstanding, it would affect Howell Webb’s image.

“I see.” Evelyn smiled. “If Sis and Sis Lina want to see Mr. Webb, just say so and I’ll take you there. Why bother Mr. Webb’s a**istant?”

As she spoke, Evelyn approached Grace affectionately. She grabbed Grace in a display of affection as if she were going to take Grace to Howell Webb’s lounge herself.

Grace said coolly, “Let go. I don’t care what you’re up to, but I don’t want to play along.”

“Is that so?” Evelyn smiled and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, “You told me to let go. Don’t regret it.”

With that, Evelyn let go of her grip with a great jerk and staggered backward as if she was pushed hard by someone.

She fell back in three steps, and in a blink of an eye, she was lying flat on the ground. Then, a cry of pain escaped Evelyn’s mouth.

“I was just being kind, Sis. Why did you push me away like this…” Evelyn looked like she was in pain. Her eyes watered, making her look piteous.

The sudden turn of events drew the attention of fans at the entrance, many of whom began pulling out their phones to take pictures and record.

Grace looked coldly at Evelyn. “You know perfectly well whether I’ve pushed you or not.”

“Why do you say that, Sis? I know… You’ve only been out of jail for a while, so you probably feel wrongfully treated. I… I won’t. mind it or anything.”

Evelyn continued to play the role of a bitter little sister in front of the crowd while making it clear in front of everyone that

Grace had been to prison.

For those nosy fans, it was hot gossip.

Lina Sweeney panicked. “You’re so mean, Evelyn!”

Evelyn only said with an aggrieved look, “You can scold me whatever you want. You’re Sis’s friend. I only hope you can. persuade Sis not to go on banging her head against a brick. wall. I won’t blame her this time for pushing me, but it won’t be all right if she pushes someone else next time.”

Evelyn gave every appearance of a good sister.

Lina Sweeney nearly fainted with rage. She had seen shameless people before but never someone as shameless as her.

Evelyn’s manager hurried to help her up and asked with a worried look on her face, “Are you all right? Does it hurt?”

Evelyn bit her lip and frowned as she said, “I think I’ve sprained my ankle… It hurts so much…”

The manager immediately snapped at Grace. “You’re her older sister, How can you do this to your little sister? Is it because she’s a star and Master Hart’s girlfriend, so you’re jealous? How can you be so jealous…”

The manager was just saying this when her voice suddenly. stopped and her eyes went over Grace. She was looking at somewhere behind her.

Grace turned around and looked over at the entrance. She could see Brian standing there, and Hadwin Stephenson was beside him.

‘What combination is this?’ Grace was stunned.

Just like Grace, Lina Sweeney froze when she turned around and saw the two. Then, she felt a little guilty and dared not look at Hadwin Stephenson.

After all, she told him she had to work overtime today and that was why she did not have time to meet him.

Hadwin Stephenson raised his eyebrows when he saw Lina Sweeney. He had a half-smile on his face.

A little liar indeed! She lied to him about working overtime and ended up here.

Compared to Hadwin Stephenson’s expression right now, Brian’s face was horribly gloomy.

Inexplicably, Evelyn’s manager thought Brian was looking at her with a deathly icy stare.

However… it did not make sense. Master Hart was Evelyn’s boyfriend, and she was now trying to seek justice for Evelyn. If Master Hart did not like people, he should dislike Evelyn’s older sister.

Brian walked forward, but before he could speak, the manager eagerly said, “Master Hart, Evelyn only wanted to take her sister to Howell Webb out of kindness. However, her sister pushed her away and made Evelyn sprain her foot.”

In other words, she was suggesting that Brian was backing

Evelyn.

Evelyn’s eyes were misty, and she looked delicate. It was as if she were trying to hold back her tears. “Brian… Don’t… Don’t listen to her, Sis… didn’t mean it, I fell because I lost my footing.”

However, the more she said it like that, the more she directed the focus onto Grace; it only made people feel that her older sister was arrogant and domineering. Additionally, it made people feel that the little sister was the one that had been wronged and was suffering silently as her sister bullied her.

Evelyn wanted to use her fans and the public’s opinion to step on Grace. Besides, no one would be able to find anything.

wrong with her and even Jason would not have a reason to stand up for Grace.

Evelyn secretly thought that she now looked like someone who could stand what had been done to her and was kind enough. to speak up for her perpetrator, Grace.

Nevertheless, Brian’s eyes only grew colder. His keen eyes. looked straight at Evelyn, so much so that the latter felt as if she had no place to hide and that this man knew all her ideas.

Even though she was his girlfriend, she always felt that there was an insurmountable gap between him and her. Additionally, she had tried hard to get close to him, but her refused to let her do so.

Brian’s thin lips parted, and he said in a cold voice, “You fell because you didn’t watch your footing.”

His words were like an invisible slap, forcefully slapping Evelyn’s face!
