Filed To Story: The Scarlet Vengeance: Justice of a Framed Beauty Novel (Grace & Jason)

It was only two hours after her grandmother’s death that Grace’s first uncle, second uncle, and third aunt arrived at the hospital one after another at the hospital’s notice.

As for Grace’s grandfather, Old Mr. Kelleigh, he did not come to the hospital on the pretext of poor health. He feared that he would. be too sad and thus worsen his health after seeing the body.

Grace did not know how her grandmother would feel about her grandfather’s comments.

When First Uncle, Second Uncle, and Third Aunt saw Grace, their first reaction was that Grace had to pay for her grandmother’s grave and funeral on her mother’s behalf. She could not get away from it!

Grace could not help getting angry. Her grandmother had just pa**ed away, but First Uncle, Second Uncle, and Third Aunt only cared about money!

“Pay?” asked Jason, who had been silent all along.

Only then did First Uncle and Second Uncle realized there was another person in the room. The haste and the fact that their niece was wearing a wedding dress was too much to notice.

First Uncle and Second Uncle’s faces immediately paled as they recognized him as the man they had met at the Miller family’s house that night.

At first, they wanted to send Grace to the Miller family’s house to marry their simpleton son, but that night, the man burst in with a bunch of people and took Grace away.

After the event, they were detained by the local police station for several days!

“Why… Why are you here?” stammered First Uncle and Second

Uncle.

After seeing Jason, Third Aunt said, “Your boyfriend’s here, Grace. If you can’t come up with the money, ask him to pay it for you. You’ll pay for your grandmother’s funeral and grave, won’t you?”

Grace was about to say something when Jason put his hand. lightly on her shoulder and said to Third Aunt, “Of course, it’s all right to pay, but can you afford it?”

Third Aunt looked puzzled. ‘What does that mean?”

First Uncle and Second Uncle dragged Third Aunt away and briefly explained to her what had happened at the Miller family’s house.

Third Aunt was not at home that night, so her impression of Jason was limited to when Grace brought Jason to visit her grandmother a while back.

However, now that she knew Jason was the man who left with

Grace that day, Third Aunt’s expression changed. She looked at him in disbelief and mumbled, “Who the hell are you?”

“I’m Grace’s boyfriend. I think I’ve already made that clear,” Jason said lightly.

“Why didn’t you tell us that you’re the one who took Grace away from the Miller family’s house?” exclaimed Third Aunt.

Jason chuckled and retorted, “Why would I?”

There was a cold, piercing look in his eyes that made Third Aunt’s body tremble, fear rising in her heart.

This man was not simple. The look in his eyes had some sort of unreachable coldness. How did she not notice it last time?

However, she then seemed to have thought of something and calmed down. “It doesn’t matter who you are. I think you’re wasting your time coming here to strut around. You can’t mess with our family. Just one word from my daughter and you and Grace may not be able to stay in Emerald City any longer.”

First Uncle and Second Uncle seemed to have been reminded of something, their expressions changing as they became arrogant. “Yes, we have backup now!”

First Uncle said through gritted teeth, “Boy, you put us in detention for so long. Why don’t you apologize and pay us now? Otherwise, you’re going to suffer.”

“Not many people dare to make me apologize,” Jason said lazily.

Grace was confused. ‘What’s going on? First Uncle and Second. Uncle were still afraid of Jason at first, but after what Third Aunt said, they’ve changed their attitude completely.

‘Could it be that Third Aunt’s daughter, Stella, has found a backup?”

However, she remembered that Stella ran a small smithy with her husband, earning only a modest income about the same as most of the town’s residents. What kind of backup could she have?

“All right, you’re not apologizing, are you? Even if you get down on your knees and apologize later, it won’t be over that easily!” First Uncle said fiercely.

As if watching a play, Third Aunt said leisurely, “Grace, as your aunt, I must warn you to ask your boyfriend to apologize to your First Uncle and Second Uncle and make it up to them. You know. your Stella is close with your First Uncle and Second Uncle. She wouldn’t want to see her uncles getting bullied.”

Only then did Grace realize the way Third Aunt dressed was not the same as before. On closer inspection, her clothes looked.

well-made and were probably expensive. Besides, she was wearing diamond rings and gold bangles, which made her look like… She had made a fortune.

Third Aunt’s voice continued ringing, “Your Stella is not what she used to be. She has a powerful man backing her now. If you annoy her, tsk tsk…”

“A powerful man?” Jason laughed sarcastically. “That’s great. I’d like to meet this powerful man!”

“Who do you think you are? There are some people in this world. you can’t afford to offend!” Third Aunt glared at Jason, looking as if she would make him regret it later.

Jason’s eyes narrowed as a hint of anger flashed in his eyes. If this person was not related to Grace and Grace’s grandmother had not just pa**ed away, then he would just have this woman. admitted into the hospital right now!

Taking a step forward, Grace said, “Third Aunt, it’s not up to you. whether we can offend them or not. Why don’t you remind First Uncle and Second Uncle to apologize to me for selling me to the Miller family? I don’t think Jason has anything to apologize for, and I don’t think they’re being bullied at all. They deserved to be locked up in the detention center!”

“You…”Third Aunt’s face reddened immediately. “What are you talking about? First Uncle and Second Uncle are your elders!

They did that because they wanted you to be safe for the rest of your life.”

“Is that so? Why don’t we just tell the folks in town and let them judge who’s right and who’s wrong?” said Grace. Even if they were going to have a falling out, she was not going to let First.

Uncle, Second Uncle, and Third Aunt insult Jason today.

First Uncle and Second Uncle looked at each other. This town used to be a village, so everyone knew each other very well.

Although some outsiders knew about them trying to marry Grace.

into the Miller family, the matter was done under the table. If it came to the surface, it was clear who was wrong.

They would probably be ashamed to stay in this town!

Third Aunt was so angry that she raised her hand and was about to slap Grace.

During this period, their family had suddenly become rich because her daughter met a powerful man. As such, she quickly became arrogant and got accustomed to the pursuit as well as the flattery of others.

Now, the way her niece was talking to her greatly embarra**ed her, so she wanted to give her a piece of her mind.

However, before she could slap her, someone intercepted her.

“Ah!” cried Third Aunt, feeling as if the bones of her wrist were about to be broken. “Let… Let go… Let go…”

Jason stared at Third Aunt with a murderous look growing in his eyes.

“Forget it, Jay. Grandma just pa**ed away, so I don’t want to bother her,” said Grace.

‘After all, Third Aunt is Grandma’s daughter!”

No matter how angry she was with Third Aunt, she did not want to bother her grandmother at such a time.

She hoped she could at least let Grandma leave in peace.

“Sure,” Jason replied softly and let go of Third Aunt’s hand.

Third Aunt stumbled and retreated a few steps before she regained her footing.

With a pale face, Third Aunt clutched her still-aching wrist and glared at Grace. However, she dared not march forward like before.

“You skank, when Stella comes, you’ll…”

Before she could finish, another voice immediately said, “What do you need, Mom?”
