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

“What a pity. She spent three years in prison in vain and lost her rich boyfriend. She must have thought of killing herself.”

“I thought a woman who could compete against Lily for a man. would be dazzlingly beautiful, but she just seems all right!”

People around her started exchanging opinions with each other. Many even pulled out their phones and started filming Grace.

Grace saw that the crowd was growing and was afraid that looking for her best friend now would only drag Lina into the fray.

Therefore, she thought about it and walked straight to the exit of the bookstore. She planned to get out of here first before calling her best friend.

However, as she rushed out of the bookstore, the man who first recognized Grace got a bit impatient and reached out to grab her. “Don’t go. You haven’t answered my question! Are you trying to sabotage Lily and Sean Stevens’s relationship? Do you have a skeleton in your closet? Otherwise, you could just answer openly!”

Grace subconsciously stepped to the side to avoid the man’s hand, but unexpectedly, the man came charging faster than she expected. The man was about to grab her arm, but in the next moment, the man’s wrist was grabbed by another hand.

It was a beautiful hand-Slender, fair, and had well-defined joints.

Grace remembered seeing only a few men with such beautiful hands, and according to her memory, the owner of this hand was… Brian! Grace looked up and immediately caught sight of Brian’s handsome face.

The next moment, Brian just twisted the man’s arm and pushed him to the side.

“Ah!” The man let out a piercing shriek.

Someone in the crowd recognized Brian. “It’s the crown prince!

It’s the crown prince of the Hart familyHart family!”

There were already a lot of people gathered on Grace’s side. Wit that scream, more people gathered around her.

Brian frowned slightly. The next moment, he pulled Grace into a parked car and drove away.

The car just sped off, leaving the crowd of people who had gathered there unable to do nothing but stare. Then, they began to discuss Grace and Brian’s relationship.

After getting into the car, Grace said to Brian, “Thank you for just now. Just drop me off somewhere around here.”

However, instead of stopping the car, Brian asked, “What the hell is going on?”

“Some stranger recognized me. After all, my recent case reversal became hot internet gossip because of Lily’s apology. Please stop the car. My friend’s still in the bookstore and I have to meet her later!” said Grace.

Brian pressed his thin lips together slightly and finally pulled up to the side of the road.

Grace tried to get out of the car, but Brian stopped her. “It’s only 300 meters away from the bookstore’s entrance. Maybe those people will catch up with you and surround you again. You might as well contact your friend and only get off once she’s here.”

She nodded hesitantly at that. Then, her eyes fell on Brian’s hand which was still holding her arm.

Brian’s fingers tightened slightly before he slowly let go. Grace.

took her phone out of her bag and called Lina Sweeney.

“Lina, I got into some trouble just now. I’m outside at the Jayhuil

Building in front of the bookstore, about 300 meters away. Just come over…”

Brian, who was sitting beside her, looked at the person close at hand in a daze.

Earlier when he drove past the neighborhood, he immediately caught sight of her in the crowd. It was as if he could spot her immediately even if she was doing nothing but standing in the crowd.

Every time he looked at her, his eyes, his heart, and his blood flow seemed to all go out of control.

At first, he had thought she was the one he was looking for. As long as he found evidence, she would not be able to deny it. However, the more he looked for evidence, the more proof he got that the person he had been looking for was someone else.

‘The one I should treat well is Stella, not her!”

Even though he had been repeating this to himself over and over again, when he saw that she was in trouble, he immediately got out of the car and walked over to her.

The empty feeling in his palm was more obvious!

Brian slowly gathered his hands and dropped them to his sides.

“When are you and Jason getting married? I’ll attend the wedding dinner and give you a nice gift. After all, you’re Stella’s cousin.”

Grace said, “Probably a year from now. I want to mourn for my grandmother this year.” After a pause, she added, “Also, you don’t need to be extra nice to me because of Stella. Although Stella and

I are cousins, we aren’t that close. I’ve never given her any help.”

Brian’s thin lips were almost pressed into a straight line, and the car fell into an awkward silence.

After a moment, his eyes fell on the two law books in her lap. “Are you planning to get back into law?”

“I plan to, but it depends on whether I have the ability to,” said Grace. However, the longing in her eyes silently stated how much she wanted to be a lawyer again.

Brian was in a daze for a while. The person in front of him was clearly not the one, but why did she look so similar? Even the look in her eyes right now looked like the girl’s who he held in his heart.

‘She’ had once solemnly said to him, “I got the best grades in my cla**. Grandma said that only with good grades can I do what I want to do when I grow up.”

“What kind of job do you want to do?” He had asked at the time, for everything was so easy for him that he did not have to work hard for it.

Just like how some people were born with everything.

Besides… ‘Job’ was a word he had never thought of.

However, this person who was a year or two his junior was already thinking of such things?

“I haven’t decided yet, but I want to just have a job that’ll protect not only myself but also people I like!” she had answered.

‘Just?’

Being born in an upper-cla** family, he knew from the influence he received since childhood that there was no absolute justice, and sometimes, the so-called justice was just self-deception.

However, her eyes were so serious that some words seemed stuck in his throat.

When time pa**ed and he finally found the little girl, he found that Stella Lindsay did not have the job she mentioned and her eyes no longer held that look of justice.

However, it was ironic that there was such a look in Grace’s eyes.

instead.

“Do you want to go back to the legal world in the hopes that you can protect not only yourself but also the people you like?” The words escaped from his mouth just like that.

Grace was startled, and suddenly, there was a sharp pain in her head. Then, a young voice seemed to say in her ear, “Even if you don’t have a job, I can protect you!”

“I’m the one protecting you right now, aren’t I? Can you stand up?”

‘Ouch… My head’s hurting again. Who’s speaking in my ear?’

Grace saw broken images flashing through her mind. She tried hard to see them clearly, but her efforts were in vain.

“Grace, what’s the matter?” An anxious voice rang in her ear.

She turned her head around. The little boy with the blurry face seemed to flash before her eyes again. Then, it slowly overlapped with the face in front of her.

‘My head… Is still hurting….

‘Who… Who the hell is…”

She wanted to see better…
