However, she cried even harder. It was as if all those years of suffering which had been repressed by this miscarriage of justice were released at this moment.
Grace held the man tightly in her arms, crying loudly.
“Ah… Ah… Ah…” How much grievance and pain was shown through her crying as she seemed to relieve herself from it!
Jason lowered his head with a mixed look in his eyes. Looking at the person in his arms, he felt his shirt gradually getting wet. He knew they were her tears.
His heart was also throbbing with pain.
He could clear her name for her, but no matter how powerful he was and how much money he had, he could not give her back the years she already lost.
Had he known he would have fallen in love with her and so deeply too, he would never have allowed her to suffer any injustice.
It was a shame that he had not known earlier.
He did not know that his connivance would bring him guilt. He did not know that one day he would carry such a heavy burden of guilt for another person.
He could care less about anyone’s feelings but hers.
Raising his hand stiffly, Jason gently patted Grace on the back. He softly comforted her. “Stop crying, Grace. Stop crying, all right?”
He comforted her over and over again.
Grace did not know how long she cried for, but by the time she came to herself, the restaurant was already empty.
They were alone in the vast and quiet restaurant.
“Where are… The others?” She sniffed, and there was already a lump in her throat.
“I told everyone else to leave. I can’t have everyone else around if you keep crying like this,” said Jason.
Grace was instantly embarra**ed. She did not expect to lose control of her emotions and burst into tears so loudly.
“There were so many customers…” She remembered that when.
they came here today, the restaurant was full of people.
“It’s just a small matter,” he said, running his fingers lightly over her tear-stained face. “Are you done crying?”
She bit her lip slightly and responded in a low voice.
He took his handkerchief out and gently wiped the tear marks on her face. “I’m sorry.” The two words slipped out of his mouth.
He had never said these words to anyone else, only to her.
“It has nothing to do with you. It’s a good thing that you’re helping me to reverse the case. I’m crying just because this thing has been weighing on my mind for so long that now that I know I can. reverse it, my emotions went out of control,” she said.
His thin lips pressed together and said nothing. He only raised his hand and held her in his arms.
His Grace did not know what he was saying sorry for.
‘I’m sorry…’ It was his indifferent connivance that had caused her to suffer such a terrible experience and left her wounded. All he could do was to clear her name for her.
However, she would probably never know the truth she really wanted!
Jason held Grace very, very tightly….
The next day, Grace took a leave of absence with Kyla Corbyn and went to the law firm with Jason. As it was about her case, she felt particularly nervous.
To her surprise, Jason chose the law firm where she had worked
Grace looked at Jason in surprise. ‘This… Can’t be a coincidence.’
“I know you used to work here. After your accident, some of your colleagues laughed at you. That’s why I chose this place. I’ll help you gain back all the respect you’ve lost, and I’ll make those who despised and belittled you before never dare to despise and laugh. at you again. I want them to know that you were the victim and not the perpetrator of the case,” said Jason.
He wanted her to hold her head higher than anyone else in front of her former colleagues.
Grace’s eyes could not help getting a little wet again. After going through so many things, she had gradually let go of some things.
However, she knew that he was doing it for her. He did not want her to be looked down upon by anyone.
Grace followed Jason up the elevator to the floor where the law firm was.
When she got out of the elevator, she found that her hands were already covered with cold sweat.
She was still nervous! She knew that it was in the bag since.
he had evidence to file an appeal, but she… Maybe it was too important for her to get the case reversed.
“I’ll go to the bathroom to wash my hands. Give me a minute,”
Grace said to Jason.
“Sure,” said Jason.
Grace went into the bathroom. The water ran down her hands, making her tension subside a little.
Her fingers were not quite the same as before. Some of her knuckles looked a little strange because they had been broken.
before and she nearly lost them.
Even if they looked like they had recovered now, it was difficult, if not impossible, to do certain movements. Her joints often hurt in cold, wet weather.
However, because she had been taking traditional medicine to recuperate these days, her joints were feeling much better and there was almost no dull pain.
Grace had just finished washing her hands and was about to dry them with a paper towel when suddenly she saw a figure. She was stunned.
When that person saw her, they also looked shocked and asked, “What brings you here, Grace?”
Grace did not expect to see Andrea Schwartz here. Instead of the formal suit she usually saw Andrea Schwartz wearing, she was now dressed like a cleaner in the building.
“Why, can’t I come here?” asked Grace coldly.
Grace was disgusted with Andrea Schwartz after she used her case as a case study for the rookies in the firm.
Even though you may think that some people were just petty, their evil intentions could be far beyond your imagination.
Andrea Schwartz stared at Grace in hatred. She was now a joke to the whole firm. As a lawyer, she was forced to clean the bathroom.
It was all thanks to Grace.
Who would have thought that Brian would stand up for Grace?
After that incident, she was called into the office by the firm’s boss who gave her two options. She would either be fired or transferred to a job where she would clean the bathrooms for a while. The rest would depend on the circumstances.
After a long struggle, she chose the second option. After all, she had not found another job and she would not be able to get by int front of her relatives and boyfriend if she did not have a job.
Although she was now cleaning the bathrooms here, except for her colleagues in the company, her relatives and boyfriend did not. know about it. Once she found the right law firm, she would leave this place.
However, she did not expect Grace to see her like this.
Andrea Schwartz felt even more bitter at the thought of Grace, whom she had once laughed at, witnessing her current miserable state.
Suddenly, she had a flash of inspiration. As Grace turned to leave.
the bathroom, she reached into her pocket and secretly switched. on the recording function. Then, she put her hand that was holding the phone behind her back and hurried up to catch up with Grace.
“Hold on! What’s your relationship with Brian, Grace? Why was he so protective of you that day? He also gave you his suit jacket. You’ve known each other for a long time and you’re close, right?”
said Andrea Schwartz, trying to manipulate Grace into saying what she wanted to hear.
