“That’s right. This man is just angry that Grace refused his proposal back then, so he’s here to make trouble!”

“This is the kind of person who doesn’t have the right to attend. the funeral. Grace is our family’s treasure. How dare he insult her? My mom’s favorite has always been Grace.”

All three of them spoke, taking sides with Grace. First Uncle called for security and drove the man and his family out of the hall.

Those who came to the funeral were stunned. They thought

Grace, who had been to prison, was someone they could pick on at will. They did not expect her to have such a tough boyfriend.

The man who picked the fight was blue in the face when he was taken away by the security guards. He whimpered as he clutched his chest. They wondered if the bones in his chest had broken!

Seeing the way the Lu family treated Grace, the guests did not dare to treat her like she was a relative who had been to prison. anymore. She was now being treated like a guest of honor, and… It was as if everyone was afraid of upsetting her.

Stella Lindsay looked coldly at Jason and Grace, never realizing that her cousin, an ex-convict, would be so protected by the famous Jason of Emerald City.

Since she had been to Emerald City and attended several upper-cla** banquets with Brian, she got a better understanding of what was so terrible about Jason.

However, a person like that was so protective of Grace, making her feel a touch of jealousy.

Why was her cousin so lucky? She not only saved Brian when she was a child but was also in a relationship with Sean Stevens back then. Even though she was imprisoned and was dumped by Sean Stevens, Jason fell in love with her after she got out of prison!

This made her feel frustrated, as if she could never match up to

Grace!

“I got a little carried away and disturbed your grandmother’s funeral,” Jason said to Grace.

Grace shook her head. “As you said, if Grandma knew that people are insulting me like that, she would approve of what you just did.”

She knew he was protecting her, even if his actions seemed a little too violent to some. However, that was how the world worked. If you were any weaker, people would push their luck even further.

Grace learned that from her time in prison!

She stepped forward and looked quietly at her grandmother who lay in the coffin, knowing it would be the last time she could see her. The kind old woman gave her a lot of love after she lost her mother and made her enjoy her childhood.

Grace gently placed the flower in her hand in front of her grandmother’s coffin and bid her final goodbye in her heart.

She did not go over when Grandma’s body was cremated. She was afraid, afraid that she would not be able to stand the sight of her grandmother’s body being cremated.

“Grandma left me after all, Jay. There’s one less person in the world who truly loves me and treats me well,” murmured Grace.

Looking at Grace, Jason said, “I won’t leave you.” “I’ll always be here for you.’

“Yes, I know you won’t leave me, and I… Won’t leave you too,” said Grace. He always gave her peace of mind when she was at a loss.

Grandma’s ashes were cremated and placed in an urn.

The Lu family buried her grandmother in one of the ancestral graves in the village. Before the town became what it was now. and back when it was made up of multiple villages, the people. of Lu village and the other villagers were buried here after they pa**ed away.

Grace respectfully offered incense before her grandmother’s tombstone and bowed three times.

According to the customs in her hometown, at the first burial, if the deceased was an elder, the youngsters had to kneel and bow to the dead.

After Grace kneeled and stood up, Jason, much to her surprise, also took three sticks of incense and bowed three times to the tombstone before planting the incense sticks into the incense burner. Then, he lowered his body, knelt before the grave, and bowed respectfully to Old Mrs. Lu.

This kneeling and bowing immediately terrified the Lu family who knew about Jason’s identity. After all, with Jason’s identity, he must have never bowed to anyone except the ancestors of the

Reed family.

He was certainly showing Grace a lot of respect by doing so!

Stella Lindsay’s face paled again, and she made up her mind that one day, she would make Brian care about her like that too!

When the funeral was over, Grace said to Jason, “Thank you.”

Thousands of words were in her mouth, but only these two words were uttered out.

“There’s nothing to thank me for. She’s your grandmother,” said

Jason. He had looked Grace up and knew the impact the old woman had in Grace’s life as well as how she had protected the young Grace.

The Reed family’s cars were waiting in front of the Lu family’s house. There were several black luxury cars lined up outside.

As soon as the driver saw Grace and Jason, he got out of the car and respectfully opened the car door. The bodyguards who got out of the car even took another trench coat for Jason to change. out of his black suit.

“Let’s go,” Jason said to Grace.

Grace nodded. Now that she was done with her grandmother’s funeral, there was no need for them to stay any longer.

The crowd in front of the Lu family’s house watched as Jason got into the car with Grace by the hand. Then, the row of luxury cars drove away from the Lu family’s house. They just thought it was like watching a movie.

Grace, an ex-convict, had luxury cars to fetch her, and it was a lot showier than Stella Lindsay, who they sought after these days.

‘Who the hell is Grace’s boyfriend?’

Grace sat in the car, watching the scenery receding on both sides.

She began to hum softly. A beautiful and soothing song filled the air in the car.

Jason raised his eyebrows slightly and waited until Grace had finished singing before asking, “What’s this song?”

“Strolling Down the Path of Life. It’s an old song. My grandmother loved listening to it. She was the one who taught me to sing it. I used to sing it for fun when I was a kid. I didn’t understand much of the lyrics back then, but the older I grew, the more I understand them,” answered Grace.

“It’s indeed a good song,” he said.

“Yes, too bad Grandma can’t teach me any more songs,” she murmured, looking exhausted.

She had only slept for three to four hours a day. She spent most of her time beside her grandmother’s refrigerated coffin or was busy with funeral affairs, so she did not have time to sleep properly.

“Get some shut-eye if you’re tired. It’s a two-hour drive back,”

said Jason.

Grace responded, and Jason helped her to adjust her seat to the right angle for a comfortable nap.

She leaned her head back in the chair and closed her eyes, falling asleep after a while.

Jason stared at her sleeping face and took out a small silver bracelet from his chest pocket a moment later.

The silver bracelet was identical to the little silver bracelet Brian carried with him. They were a set.

One was with Brian while the other was in a box of belongings that Old Mrs. Lu left for Grace.

Before she was admitted to the hospital, Old Mrs. Lu had given it to a close friend for safekeeping. She told her friend that if she died, the contents were to be given to Grace.

What an old woman in a small town left in a box was of course nothing of value. They were just some jewelry that Grace’s late mother left to Old Mrs. Lu, and she added some of her own jewelry for Grace.

This small silver bracelet was also among the pile of jewelry, looking a little out of place among the others.

He had taken the bracelet beforehand. He was afraid that she would overthink it if she saw the bracelet. The last thing he wanted was for her to remember her past with Brian.

Now that Stella Lindsay had taken Grace’s place and was found by Brian, it was probably the perfect ending to the affair.

Jason stroked the cold silver bracelet gently, his long eyelashes covering the conspiracy in his eyes.
