She had no idea why she was so unlucky.
She had only taken drugs out of curiosity.
She faintly remembered being high afterward, but she did not remember what happened exactly.
By the time she woke up the next day, the video was already trending online.
She had been staying at home these two days. She did not even dare to go out the door! Besides that, she had not answered the phone calls from any of her best friends.
Pretty much everything in the room that could be broken was broken.
As soon as Sean entered his sister’s room, he saw the mess that included a broken phone on the floor.
“Brother!” Zoe limped to Sean’s side and asked urgently, “Can you remove the trending search?”
If the video existed any longer online, even by just a minute, then it would not be impossible for hundreds of thousands of people to witness her embarra**ing state.
She felt queasy just by thinking about the video.
Sean shook his head.
“Why can’t it be removed? Is it about money? Are you refusing to spend more money to help me remove it?” Zoe got even more anxious.
“It’s not about the money! We can’t remove it with money because no one dares to remove it!” said Sean.
“Why?” Zoe refused to believe it. “As long as you offer them enough money, why would anyone refuse to make money?”
Sean looked at his sister as he sighed, slowly uttering the words, “Jason.”
Zoe’s face paled immediately. She could not stand steadily.
“Jason refuses to take it down? Why…
Didn’t he let us off the hook that day…”
Zoe’s voice suddenly stopped. Jason had never said that he would let her off the hook that day! It was her mere wishful thinking that he would!
Did the video have anything to do with
Jason?
Was it because she said Grace had been on all fours and ate like a dog when she was in prison, so Jason wanted her to experience it too?
Zoe could not help trembling at the thought.
This time, she felt Jason’s cruelty going far beyond the previous time. If one made an enemy of such a man…
That was why people said Jason was the most dangerous man in Emerald City.
“I’ll arrange for you to go abroad again later. You can come back once this is over,” said Sean.
“Mom and Dad said they’re going to introduce me to the sons of our family friends. Would this video affect that?
After all… I wasn’t in my normal state when this video was filmed. I was set up.”
Zoe was still hopeful.
Sean patted his sister on the shoulder.
“Zoe, when you come back, I’ll see if there are any nice men in the company and introduce them to you.”
“What do you mean, Brother? Did those families reject me after seeing the video?
I’m the daughter of the Stevens family after all!”
“It’s not a bad idea to marry an ordinary person,” Sean said tactfully.
The remark made Zoe go weak.
‘Marry an ordinary man? If the daughter of a rich and powerful family like me marries an ordinary man, then I’ll be humiliated for life!’
“It’s all Grace’s fault. It’s all Grace’s fault!”
Zoe said bitterly. ‘If it wasn’t for Grace, would I end up like this?
‘How can I accept this?’
“Don’t mess with Grace anymore. She has Jason backing her. You can’t afford to mess with her,” said Sean as mixed feelings glinted in his eyes.
Who would have thought that the woman they deemed as worthless had Emerald City’s most dangerous man as her backer now?
Curtis Row had been on edge for the past two days, especially after Zoe’s video came out. He could not even sleep at night.
He remembered Zoe insulting Grace at the banquet the other day, and then… this happened to her.
After all, the Stevens family was rich and powerful. The Lambert family was only rich at most, so they were still incomparable to the Stevens family.
With what was happening to Zoe, he would only end up worse.
He had kept Grace standing at the pool table for a long time that day. Grace even seemed to be limping when she left.
For a moment, Curtis Row could imagine getting his legs. broken.
Therefore, Curtis Row rushed to buy thousands of yellow roses as an apology and sent them to Grace’s office. He also prepared an expensive gift and went to Grace’s office to apologize sincerely.
Everyone was stunned when Curtis Row showed up at the firm. Yellow roses could be seen everywhere.
Andrea Schwartz was excited. ‘Curtis Row’s appearance is hard evidence!
‘Grace seems to be hooking up with Curtis Row. That’s why there are always luxury cars picking her up!”
Andrea Schwartz quickly took out her phone and secretly filmed Curtis Row and Grace together. Then, she secretly uploaded it to the internet and tagged Curtis Row’s current real girlfriend-a starlet named You Keer who often quarreled with people.
Andrea Schwartz was in a good mood after doing all this. Now, she just had to wait for You Keer to give Grace trouble. When that happened, the firm would definitely fire Grace.
If such a scandal went viral online, no firm would hire Grace.
A lawyer’s career was over when their reputation was ruined.
However, Andrea Schwartz could not hear what the two were saying because of the distance.
Of course, she did not dare to move forward because when
Curtis Row came, he made it clear that he wanted to talk to
Grace alone for a few minutes. The two of them walked to a corner on the other side of the hall.
Andrea Schwartz could only see Curtis Row taking out a box and trying to give it to Grace, but it was pushed away by her.
A colleague walked up to Andrea Schwartz and muttered, “What on earth are they talking about?”
“Who knows? It’s probably just a conversation between a homewrecker and her lover,” said Andrea Schwartz.
“Curtis Row has a girlfriend. Grace is so shameless to be the other woman. She’s disgracing our firm. Others will think that all our lawyers are homewreckers.”
Another colleague chimed in, “I know, right? People like her shouldn’t be here.”
“Let’s report this to the higher-ups. If she stays, our reputation. will be ruined!”
Andrea Schwartz was secretly pleased as more colleagues continued to join the conversation.
On the other hand, Grace looked at Curtis Row with a headache. Curtis Row was a different person from the man she faced that night.
“Miss Cummins, just take it. It was my fault that day. I shouldn’t have ignored you and left you standing there for so long. I’ve been meaning to come and apologize to you in person for a long time, but… I just haven’t quite figured out how to show you my sincerity. I’ve finally bought something suitable to make amends. I don’t know what to do if you don’t accept it.”
Curtis Row’s tone was downright humble.
Even if Grace had not seen what was in the box, she guessed that it was not something cheap. “You don’t have to give me anything. Besides, you already sent me yellow roses to express your apology, haven’t you?” said Grace.
However, she could not understand why Curtis Row had suddenly sent another batch of yellow roses and even came to apologize in person after so many days.
“Well… I want to show you my sincerity. Just take the gift as my apology.” Curtis Row tried his best to push the box to Grace.
He could only feel at ease when she accepted it!
Otherwise, he would be stuck in a wheelchair for the rest of his life!
Grace was a little speechless. She had a feeling that Curtis
Row was afraid of something. Even his hands that were giving her the gift were trembling faintly.
“No. It’s fine!” She declined.
Curtis Row was close to tears. It was the first time he was giving a woman a gift only to be rejected by her.
