Tony Cummins’s smile stiffened, and he defended himself by saying, “I was stupid back then. Fathers and daughters don’t have overnight feuds. It’s inconvenient to talk here, why don’t we go in first?”

Tony Cummins only wanted to talk after getting past Reed Residence’s gates.

Grace said, “I thought we’ve already severed ties with each other? If you’re only here to acknowledge me because of my marriage, then I can only tell you we can never be a family again!”

Even though she and the man in front of her were related by blood, their so-called family affection had long been exhausted!

Tony Cummins’s expression changed. His old face looked a little embarra**ed now.

Grace said to Jason, “Jay, let’s go.”

Tony Cummins was unwilling to let Grace walk away like this. He subconsciously wanted to rush over and grab his eldest daughter. However, with the security guards stopping him, he had no way to approach Grace.

Melinda Riley saw this and quickly said, “Grace, even… Even if you won’t acknowledge your father, at least ask someone to set your sister free. Stella was the one who persuaded her to do what she did! Now that you’ve married into the Reed family, you don’t want the media to expose the fact that you have a sister in jail, do you?”

Grace was stunned. ‘Evelyn? In jail? And it has something to do with Stella? What’s going on here?”

However, Jason seemed to notice her confusion and said, “Evelyn also took part in the incident where you met Stella’s ex-husband in the lounge. Later, Evelyn and Stella got together to collude once more. It was Evelyn who came up with the plot to involve Chase Harper for Stella.”

Grace was shocked. She had no idea there were so many twists and turns involved!

“Stella thought Evelyn would only work with her to deal with you.

but did not realize that Evelyn was also plotting against her. The video that was shown at Stella’s birthday party was from the pinhole camera Evelyn had installed in her car. Evelyn originally intended to use it to control Stella.”

“How do you know so…” Grace’s voice suddenly stopped and then she said, “Did you… ask someone to play the video at Stella’s birthday party?”

After all, he had once told her that he could help her find evidence that could help Chase Harper in his case. However, the police ended up releasing Chase Harper because of the video shown at Stella’s birthday party, so she never mentioned it again.

She did not expect him to have done everything silently.

“Yeah, are you satisfied with it?” he asked.

“Thank you!” Grace only found her heart feeling warm.

When Melinda Riley heard Jason telling Grace this, she quickly said, “No, that’s not it. Luoyin was… She was afraid that Stella might do something against Grace, so she installed the pinhole camera. She… She was going to hand it over to the police in a few days!”

However, her stammering words exposed her guilty conscience.

Grace looked at her stepmother in front of her and said coldly, “The police will investigate whether or not Evelyn had colluded with Stella and if she framed others. They’ll also look into what was going on with the camera. You can find Evelyn a lawyer if you want her to be acquitted!”

Melinda Riley secretly loathed this. They had no money to hire a lawyer. Besides, the facts of her daughter’s crime could be any clearer.

“It’s just too much trouble. Wouldn’t it be much easier if you ask Master Reed to talk to the police?” Melinda Riley said as she continued to swallow her pride.

“I’m not going to help someone who wanted to hurt me. Besides, my mother had only one daughter. I don’t have any sisters,” said Grace.

Melinda Riley immediately got mad. “What… What are you talking about? You’re getting even, aren’t you? You’re getting back at your family for not helping you when you were in prison, aren’t you? But why don’t you think about the difficulty we’re in? Having been imprisoned yourself, are you going to let your sister suffer the same fate?”

Grace sarcastically said, “You’re already so worried when Evelyn hasn’t even been imprisoned yet. But why did you choose to do nothing when I was imprisoned? How dare you say I’m trying to get even? If Evelyn hasn’t done anything illegal, no one can do anything to her!”

“You offended the Stevens family and the Yi…” Melinda Riley swallowed the words after catching a glimpse of Jason’s expression that had suddenly sunk.

The look in Jason’s eyes made her feel that he was going to kill her!

Jason walked up to Melinda Riley and said in a cold voice, “So you’re not afraid of offending me now, are you?”

Melinda Riley only felt a chill rising from the soles of her feet.

“Evelyn is lucky to be judged by the law. If you disturb Grace again, you can accompany your daughter in prison,” Jason warned coldly.

Just as Jason was about to turn around, Tony Cummins suddenly said, “Master Reed, didn’t… Didn’t we all think Grace was the killer back then? Master Reed, you didn’t think Grace was wronged when the court ruled that too, right?”

Jason froze. He only heard Tony Cummins continue saying, “We… We just did the same thing as you, Master Reed. Grace can forgive you and be with you, but she’s unwilling to reconcile with us, her family. Isn’t that too unreasonable?”

In the twinkling of an eye, he turned his head around. Those dark and deep beautiful eyes had a terrible ferocity in them. “What… did you say?”

Tony Cummins only felt that Jason’s eyes were full of intense killing intent.

“I… I…”

Jason’s hand reached out and grabbed Tony Cummins by the neck, preventing him from saying another word.

Everyone around was taken aback by Jason’s actions. Melinda

Riley’s legs even became weak as she yelled, “He’s… He’s killing…”

The crowd tried to pull Jason and Tony Cummins apart, but Jason’s hand was clenched around the other man so tightly and he did not loosen his fingers at all.

Tony Cummins only found it harder and harder to breathe. The way Jason’s eyes stared at him now made him feel that the man in front of him really wanted him to die!

It was as if he had said something that made him deserve to die!

However, although his words had been a little harsh to the ears, it was nothing too serious… Tony Cummins’s face grew pale. Even the whites of his eyes were starting to show.

Grace hurried forward, grabbed his wrist, and shouted, “Jay, don’t do that! I don’t care what he says…”

‘It’s… Grace’s voice!’ Jason seemed to come back to his senses all of a sudden. His dark eyes that were filled with rage started clearing up bit by bit.

“Jay, let go. I don’t care what this man says. You don’t have to care either! There’s no need to dirty your hands because of someone like him!” Grace said worriedly.

“You… don’t care?” murmured Jason.

“Yes, I don’t care!” She gave him an affirmative answer.

His fingers finally loosened slowly.

Tony Cummins made a narrow escape from death. He was so shocked he could not utter a word, while Melinda Riley was trembling badly.

Glancing at her father and stepmother, Grace said coldly, “As for

Evelyn, she deserves the consequences of what she has done. I won’t do anything to help, nor will I bother to get even. As for you two, we’re not family anymore. Jay’s my only family now!”

She said and strode into the mansion, holding Jason’s hand.

Tony Cummins and Melinda Riley were still in shock that they could not even utter a single word.

Jason followed close behind Grace. His mind still echoed the words she said just now. She said he was her only family!

It seemed to be the most beautiful thing he had ever heard.

Grace stopped and turned to look at Jason once they entered the main house. “You don’t need to get all riled up over people like that. It’s not worth it.”
