Chapter 356 – 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)

“Grace, Lily is really innocent! You shouldn’t have asked Jason to blacklist her in the entertainment industry for this. Besides, she has already apologized to you. What else do you want?”

said Sean Stevens. The way he looked at Grace was as if he thought she was ignorant.

‘What else do I want…’ He asked as if she was ignorant, greedy, and unsatisfied.

Grace suddenly had the urge to laugh.

He used to have this look in his eyes whenever she had an opinion or a disagreement with him.

Back then, she was willing to play along with him because she had feelings for him.

However, now… He was nothing to her!

“If she really meant it, why didn’t she pull out her fingernails, break the bones of her fingers inch by inch, and beg for my forgiveness? Innocent? Who’s the innocent one?” Grace said coldly.

Sean Stevens’s face grew grimmer. “Grace, I didn’t expect you to turn out like this. You weren’t so vicious before, you-”

“Vicious?” Grace interrupted Sean Stevens. “If that’s called vicious, then you probably don’t know what vicious really is,

Mr. Stevens!”

The inhuman torture she had suffered in prison had made her think several times that she would not survive. Sean Stevens probably had not suffered a tenth of that pain.

“Will you only be satisfied after ruining her?” Sean Stevens asked angrily.

“Didn’t she try to ruin me too? If I hadn’t gotten lucky, my hands wouldn’t be able to lift anything now,” Grace said sarcastically.

Sean Stevens was shocked, and his gaze fell on Grace’s hands by her side.

In the past few years, his mind would recall that scene every now and then. When that happened, he would feel a surge of mixed feelings.

Especially after learning that Grace was wronged, he wondered if he and she would have stayed together if she had not been wronged.

However, he would always put a stop to the idea.

Lily was the best for him. Lily was the best choice for him and the Stevens family.

“Grace, now that you have Jason, why bother being so ruthless with Lily?” Sean Stevens softened his tone.

Grace sneered and looked at Sean Stevens with nothing but disgust in her almond-shaped eyes. “Mr. Stevens, I’m afraid you don’t know what it means to be ruthless.”

“Lily is now only blacklisted in the entertainment industry, but she’s still the second daughter of the Atkinson family.

“She still has her family and you. She has the Atkinson family and the Stevens family as backup.

“Being ruthless would be having everyone turn their backs on her and have the Atkinson family and the Stevens family reach a dead-end. She would be in pain but can’t get help, and she’d rather be dead than alive.”

As Grace spoke, Sean Stevens’s face grew paler and paler.

“Do you want to see me be that ruthless, Mr. Stevens?” asked

Grace.

Sean Stevens could not utter a word.

It was not until Grace got in the car and sped off that Sean Stevens stumbled.

For a moment, there was a surge of fear in his heart that Grace would indeed go ahead and be as ruthless as she said.

When she was dating him, she was confident, energetic, and gentle. Whenever he asked for something, she always tried her best to do it well.

However… What was left was cold and disgust.

Maybe she was giving another man her gentleness and energy, a man… He simply could not afford to offend!

Sean Stevens could only feel a sense of loss in his mind.

Why… Did he feel this way when Lily was a better fit for him than Grace?

His heart seemed to be throbbing.

‘Is it for Lily? Or is it for Grace?

‘Or is it for what Grace called ‘ruthlessness’, which is something that Grace herself has experienced…

Sean Stevens did not want to think about it anymore.

The driver drove Grace back to Reed Residence.

On the way, Grace sent a message asking Jason if it was true that Lily had been blacklisted.

She did not expect Jason to answer right away.

Only three seconds later, he replied with a message, ‘Yes.’

It was a simple word, but it meant that Lily was really blacklisted!

Although she was mentally prepared, Grace was still shocked. After all, Lily was not an ordinary celebrity in the entertainment industry. She was the second daughter of the

Atkinson family!

However, Jason… Blacklisted her just like that.

Staring at the ‘Yes’ on her phone, she was momentarily a little lost in thought.

After a while, Grace sent another message, ‘Will the Atkinson family turn against you?’

She did not want to have his career affected because of her.

After all, the Atkinson family was also rich and powerful in Emerald City.

Jason’s response was concise. ‘The Atkinson family won’t dare to do anything.’

Those few words made her feel relieved.

In the evening, Lily publicly announced that she would quit the entertainment industry and return to the Atkinson family to inherit the family business.

The entire entertainment industry was immediately in turmoil at this sudden news!

After all, Lily was the hottest celebrity right now and was even more likely to be named best actress with the movie that was about to be released this year.

However, she had not even been named best actress yet and she was going to quit?

Immediately, the news was the most searched topic online with hundreds of thousands of comments pouring in below.

Grace saw the news on her phone and found that everything was changing too fast.

On the day of the fair, Lily was still a famous female celebrity, but now, she was forced to quit.

“Are you looking at Lily’s news?” Jason’s voice unexpectedly rang in Grace’s ears.

“I just happened to stumble upon this. It’s now the most searched topic online,” said Grace.

“Since you don’t want to forgive her, then I’ll get back everything she made you lose,” said Jason. He glanced at Lily’s exit statement on the hot search list and smiled. “It’s not so easy for Lily to quit glamorously.”

‘What does he mean?’

Grace was stunned. Her phone rang suddenly. Grace took a look at it and saw that it was a call from her best friend, Lina

Sweeney.

She had just pressed the answer button when Lina Sweeney’s panicky voice sounded. “Grace, have you seen the news online? Lily wants to quit the entertainment industry!”

“I have,” replied Grace.

“She’s so shameless. She was blacklisted, so she had to quit, yet she said she thinks her parents are getting older, so she has to go back and take over the family business,” Lina

Sweeney said sarcastically.

She hated Lily! She had treated her best friend cruelly. Those methods of torture were simply vicious! Who would have thought it was done by a woman who looked elegant and intellectual?

Grace was stunned. “How do you know that she was blacklisted, so she had to quit?” She had not told Lina that yet.

“Someone broke the news, of course! I need to share it quickly to make it more popular, so more people know that this woman was blacklisted and forced to quit!” Lina Sweeney’s voice sounded eager. “By the way, is it Jason who blacklisted her?”

“Yes.” Grace did not hide it from her best friend and just confessed.

“Grace, what a nice husband you’ve chosen!” praised Lina

Sweeney.

Grace blushed immediately. ‘Please! Jason isn’t my husband yet! We haven’t registered our marriage!”

However, Jason was beside her right now and Grace was ashamed to say it.

“All right. We’ll talk about it the next time we meet. I got to go!” Lina Sweeney said and hung up the phone.
