However, Grace only said coldly, “Get out of the way.”
How would Andrea Schwartz do that? “Answer me first, Grace. I’m already in such a miserable state. At least make things clear for me. Brian was so protective of you, you must know him well.”
Unfortunately, Grace did not fall for it. Instead, she went around Andrea Schwartz and walked toward the bathroom exit.
Andrea Schwartz panicked and ran after her, shouting, “Did
Brian’s breakup have something to do with you, Grace? Was it because you got in between them? Don’t you have a boyfriend? Is this fair to your boyfriend?”
Grace immediately stopped in her tracks and turned to look at Andrea Schwartz who seemed to have gone too far. “I’m warning you, if you say anything more, I’ll sue you for slander!”
“Did I get it right?” Andrea Schwartz felt proud instead. “I just don’t know whether Brian knows you have a boyfriend. Hey, you’d better not be cheating! I can’t believe that after being in prison for years, you’ve forgotten even this basic decency…”
Pow!
Suddenly, a loud slap interrupted Andrea Schwartz and slammed her into the wall headfirst with a bang.
Andrea Schwartz felt a burning pain on her face, half of which seemed numb. When she covered her face and looked at the man who had struck her, it was Grace’s boyfriend whom she met before.
“Did you… Did you just slap me?” stammered Andrea Schwartz.
“What, can’t I slap you?” asked Jason as he laughed in anger.
There was an air of rare rage in his deep eyes.
“I’m… I’m helping you. You… You don’t know that Grace is having an affair with Brian. They…” Andrea Schwartz said as she swallowed the pain, but before she could finish, she was slapped hard in the face once more.
Instantly, both of Andrea Schwartz’s cheeks were red and swollen.
Andrea Schwartz even tasted blood in her mouth, which showed how heavy the two slaps were.
However, what frightened her more was the look of rage in his eyes. He looked… Murderous! She even felt as if the man in front. of her could kill her at any moment.
‘He’s only… Grace’s boyfriend, not some big shot, so I have nothing to be afraid of! I’m… I’m going to report this to the police and embarra** Grace and her boyfriend!’
Just then, there was the sudden sound of footsteps. Andrea
Schwartz heard the voice of the firm’s boss. “There you are, Mr.
Reed. Grace’s here too. Long time no see. Come, come. Let’s go.
in.”
The boss, who was usually cold and stern, now had a face full of enthusiasm!
Jason stood coldly on the spot, looking at Grace. “Is she the one who spilled tea on you the previous time? What do you think should happen to her after talking about you like that today?”
Of course, Jason already had someone look into what happened.
Andrea Schwartz was shocked. She felt that Grace’s boyfriend was too obnoxious. ‘What does he mean by what should happen. to me? It’s as if he can decide my fate easily.’
The boss looked at the scene in front of him, then at Andreal
Schwartz’s swollen cheeks and Jason’s cold expression. He immediately shouted, “What’s going on here, Andrea Schwartz?”
How could Andrea Schwartz tell him? After all, what she said about Grace earlier involved Brian!
Therefore, after prevaricating for quite some time, Andrea Schwartz still did not say anything helpful.
Grace looked at Andrea Schwartz and said coldly, “Andreal
Schwartz, what happened to me is not something you cant trample on. If you want to trample on others, sooner or later you’ll be trampled on too! Now that you’ve recorded all the things.
you’ve said about me today, I’ll keep it as evidence. If you ever say anything again, be prepared to go to jail!”
Grace’s words were so harsh that Andrea Schwartz found her phone to be a hot potato. She… She saw her recording it!
“Let’s go in, Jay. I want to see the evidence you’ve found,” said Grace. Only by looking at the evidence could she be rea**ured.
“Sure!” answered Jason.
The boss and a few of the top executives of the firm quickly led the way, leading the two into the firm.
Andrea Schwartz was still frozen to the spot.
“Oh yes. Remember to copy all the recordings on that woman’s phone. They’re evidence!” said Jason.
Once Jason and the rest entered the meeting room, someone from the front desk walked up to Andrea Schwartz. “Give me your phone, Andrea. I’ll copy the recording.”
“Why should I?” Andrea Schwartz clutched her phone tightly. She was not a fool. How could she give such evidence against herself to others?
However, he looked at her as if he was looking at a fool. “Because that person is Jason. Count yourself lucky that you only have to hand in the recording on your phone. As long as you keep your mouth shut, Grace probably won’t do anything, but if you…”
The man had not finished his sentence when he was interrupted by Andrea Schwartz’s cry. “What did you say? That man is
Jason?”
“Yes, Jason is here today with Grace to reverse her case!” the man said.
Andrea Schwartz looked shocked, her eyes almost bulging.
Jason… How is it possible that Grace’s boyfriend is Jason? It was Jason’s fiancée that Grace ran over and killed!
‘He even wants to reverse her case?
‘Does that mean Grace isn’t the perpetrator?”
At this moment, Andrea Schwartz felt her mind go blank. The pain in her swollen cheeks, which had been burning, now turned into bitter coldness.
Grace and Jason came to the meeting room. The meeting was attended by people Grace knew, including the boss of the firm and the lawyer she worked under when she first joined the firm.
Only now they were looking at her with curiosity and caution.
Grace knew it was because of Jason.
However, she did not say anything nor did she talk to them about the old days. She merely looked at the appeal statement that was filed by the firm, which contained descriptions of all the new evidence.
Among the new evidence were several witnesses from that year. Grace had no idea that Jason managed to track down all of them. They pointed out that they had received money from one person. to give false testimonies.
As for the physical evidence, someone had bribed someone in the police station to tamper with it.
All the leads pointed out by the new evidence fell on one person- A man called Dexter Rios.
“Who’s Dexter Rios?” she could not help but ask. She did not know this person! Why would this person go out of his way to put her in prison for such a crime?
“He’s the former vice president of Atkinson Group and was close to Jennifer Atkinson. On the day of the incident, he and Jennifer Atkinson had a drink together. Jennifer Atkinson then left in her car, but she crashed into your car and had an accident. He was afraid that things would be traced to him and he would have to take responsibility for it, so he put all the blame on you. After you were put to prison, he quit his job as vice president and went.
abroad.”
Jason explained to Grace.
“Even if he did have a drink with Jennifer Atkinson, it was.
Jennifer Atkinson who drove under the influence. Even if he was somewhat responsible for it, it wouldn’t be that big of a deal.”
There was no need to go to the trouble to frame her.
