Chapter 838 – 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)

It was the sound of punches landing, but she felt no pain. Lina stared at Grace, who had rushed over and hugged her.

Grace took the punches for her!

“Grace!” shouted Lina. Just how painful would that be?!

“I… I’m fine.” Grace comforted her best friend.

‘How could she be fine?’ Lina hated herself. If she had believed what Hadwin said, would she have found herself in this situation and would Grace still be involved?

“Since you two care so much about each other, then both of you should just suffer together!” said Katherine Jackson. If Grace was not a busybody who insisted on helping Lina, they would not have found out that she was the one who tampered with Lina’s shot at the community health center. The police would not be after her!

Hence, punch after punch landed on Grace’s body. However, she only focused on protecting her best friend’s stomach from those punches!

She had no idea how many punches she received.

Grace kept telling herself to hold on and Jay would save her.

He would!

No matter how furious he was with her, he would show up whenever she was in danger!

She just needed to hold on a little longer. A little longer…

Even though she was saying this to herself, her mind began to be hazy due to the physical pain. Several times, she nearly fainted.

Just then, the punches stopped landing on her body. She heard loud gusts of wind…

It was the sound of helicopter propellers!

Grace looked up in disbelief at the sky.

There were five helicopters in the sky, hovering above the top floor of the building.

Staring blankly at the helicopters, Grace suddenly had a feeling that they must have something to do with Jason. ‘It must be Jay!

‘Jay has come to save me and Lina!’

Katherine Jackson had chosen the top floor of an abandoned building. She chose this site as she planned to push Grace and Lina off the roof of the building afterward!

She did not expect to be surrounded by helicopters.

As the helicopter flew lower and lower, the wind from its propellers made it hard to keep their eyes open.

Katherine Jackson seemed panicked, and the expressions of her men, all of whom looked so ferocious just a moment ago, changed as well.

One of them glared at Katherine Jackson with a ghastly expression. “Who the hell did you make us kidnap? Didn’t you say it was an ordinary rich man’s wife and a woman abandoned by your ex-boyfriend?

“What’s with these helicopters?”

Could an ordinary rich man get five helicopters to circle them like this?

Before Katherine Jackson could speak, Grace said, “The person she asked you to kidnap is the wife of Jason, the richest man in Emerald City. Didn’t you do your homework beforehand? Or maybe she was afraid you wouldn’t help her if she had told you the truth?”

T The men’s faces darkened, and Katherine Jackson growled.

“Grace, shut up!”

Grace ignored Katherine Jackson and said to the men, “It’s nonot too late for you to stop. Katherine Jackson only paid you to hhelp her. So as long as you stop now, I can forgive and forget.

I’ll even promise not to pursue you and double your pay!”

GGrace knew the most important thing now was to get these mmercenaries on her side. Katherine Jackson could not do aanything if they were willing to stop.

TIThe men looked at each other, contemplating the possibility.

“WWill you really promise not to pursue us and double our pay?” a**ked one of the men who had punched Grace and ecedidier.

Grace was in pain due to the punches from before.

She did not even know how many of the men’s punches had landed on Lina. She could only protect Lina with all her might, but not her own body.

Lina laboriously gasped for breath. Her face was bruised and swollen. She could barely keep one eye open. Though Grace hated these men, she could only say with a straight face, “Yes, I can promise you that!”

“You’re gonna regret it if you listen to her. We have no other choice but to subdue them to have any chance of escaping!” Katherine Jackson said in a panic, afraid that the men she had spent a bomb on would rebel against her.

Then, another voice rang out. “I can also a**ure you that all will be well if you let go of my wife and her friend. If you want to listen to what this woman said, then be prepared to lose your lives here today!”

The group was instantly shocked. They looked in the direction of the voice and saw that several people had rushed over. They were blocking the only exit leading downstairs.

Jason was among them.

Even though he was surrounded by the Reed family’s bodyguards and security guards, Grace could still instantly spot him in the crowd.

He was wearing a shirt, and his hair was messy from the helicopters’ thrashing propellers. His handsome face seemed to be exuding chills. Even when she met his gaze, those eyes seemed to be covered with a veil. She could not see them clearly.

Even so, the mere sight of him gave her a sense of relief!

The mercenaries looked at Jason, then at Grace as if weighing their options.

Everyone knew they were sitting ducks right now. There were helicopters in the sky, and the only exit was blocked, so there was no way out.

The only card they could play right now was their two hostages.

“Okay, why don’t you let us go now and transfer ten million into the account we designated? Then we can return Mrs. Reed and her friend to you.” The leader of the mercenaries offered their conditions.

“Okay.” Jason readily agreed and said, “But these two women can’t suffer any more injuries!”

“That depends on whether we can get away,” he said.

They had clearly put Katherine Jackson out of the picture. Katherine Jackson was an abandoned pawn now!

Katherine Jackson looked flustered. She knew that the mercenaries would not take her with them even if they did. manage to leave. If that was the case, her fate would be incomparably miserable!

With this in mind, she suddenly rushed over to Grace, who was closer to her, and placed a dagger on her neck.

“Don’t come over. I’ll kill her right now if anyone comes over!”
