Grace subconsciously backed away, not wanting to accept his kneeling and apology. Jason put one hand around Grace’s waist. “What’s the matter?”
“I… I want to get some air outside. This place is making me sick,”
she said with a pale face.
“All right,” he answered and led her out of the meeting room.
It was not until they were out in the open under the trees that Grace took a few deep breaths. She never expected the meeting with the person who framed her to turn out like this.
She knew she was coming to see Dexter Rios today and thought.
about a lot of questions to ask him.
However, the moment she saw the man kneel, she could not ask anything. She was only disgusted!
despicable character like that could trample on the law and ruin. someone’s life by playing some tricks. However, he wanted her to forgive him after all that?
‘Forgive him? How ridiculous!
‘Just because he kneeled? Just because he apologized? Can you get forgiveness from the victim that way?
‘How could that man say this so lightly?”
‘Are you still feeling sick?’ asked Jason.
“I feel much better,” said Grace.
“Haven’t you always wanted to meet him? Why were you so anxious to get out just now?”
“I only find it ridiculous that he’d seek forgiveness from someone he has done so much harm to. How gracious a person needs to be to forgive him!” said Grace.
Jason’s eyes glistened as he lowered his eyelashes gently. “Maybe he’s having a hard time after framing you. He’s been abroad, and if he didn’t want to come back, we wouldn’t have been able to catch him so soon. He voluntarily returned and surrendered himself when he knew that they’re investigating the case again.”
Of course, what he did not say was that Dexter Rios was willing to surrender himself because he had used a lot of means to force the man to do so.
“A hard time?” Grace snorted. “Can he be forgiven just because he had a hard time? It’s like murdering someone and asking forgiveness from the victim. Don’t you find it ridiculous? I just didn’t die in prison. If I had died in prison, there’s no way I could stand in front of him!”
Every word she said was like a whip, whipping his heart and making it harder for him to breathe.
“So… You won’t forgive him, right?” asked Jason in a mutter.
“Yes, I can never forgive a man who has done me so much harm!” replied Grace, unaware of Jason’s unusual behavior.
All her emotions were in the anguish of having been framed. “How dare he ask for forgiveness? How dare he? If kneeling and apologizing is the solution, why bother with the law? I won’t forgive him. Absolutely not. He ruined my life!”
“Stop!” Jason suddenly threw his arms around Grace. “Grace, stop saying that, all right? If you don’t want to see him again, then you’ll never see him again. If you want him to get what he deserves, then he will!”
‘Just stop saying that!’
If she knew the truth, she would not be saying those words to Dexter Rios today, but to him!
‘If I had any pity for her back then, it wouldn’t have come to this!”
Grace sobbed in Jason’s arms. “Jason, why do you think human nature is so evil? Is it so easy to sacrifice someone else’s life for your own? Even if he came back voluntarily and accepted the trial, I can’t get back the life he destroyed!”
Unless time could be turned back, otherwise even if he was sentenced to life imprisonment, it was only a great relief to her. The rest was meaningless.
Jason only felt the chest area of his clothes getting wet again.
He knew they were her tears.
She was crying, crying for her three miserable years.
Now, all he could do was to help her reverse the case and clear her name.
He could not give or tell her the rest!
“Grace, it’s because the evil of human nature is beyond your imagination,” he said.
‘I’ll make it up to you. I’ll make up for my cruelty to you and for what you’ve suffered.
‘So please forgive me just this one time.
‘Forgive me!”
He said to himself, because… He loved her so much!
In the same meeting room in the detention center at night, Dexter
Rios was looking at Jason puzzledly.
Back then, Grace seemed nothing more than a pushover who anyone could bully. Even though she was Sean Stevens’s girlfriend, she was powerless herself. Besides, he was sure the
Stevens family would not offend the Atkinson family and the Reed family for Grace.
Therefore, he had used Grace as a scapegoat.
However, he never expected Jason to stand up for Grace one day.
Two people who could never have interacted with each other outside of Jennifer Atkinson’s case did so.
“Mr. Reed, I… I’ve done as you said. Please, let me live!” Dexter Rios said hastily.
Jason’s eyes were dark. The man in front of him was one of the main culprits in making Grace bear the crime. “As long as you never say what you shouldn’t, you can keep your life.”
Dexter Rios was relieved.
If he could, he would never even think about turning himself in. He was only forced by Jason.
Even abroad, when someone like Jason wanted to go after someone, there was no getting away from it.
“Then, my family…” Dexter Rios said nervously.
“I won’t touch your family since they don’t know what you’ve done. However…” Jason’s voice paused. Dexter Rios had just felt the slightest bit of relief when he was suddenly nervous again. “What you made Grace suffer and what you made her pay back then, you must now pay back twice as much.”
Dexter Rios was eager to defend himself, but Jason had already stood up as if he was too impatient to hear more from him. “Dexter Rios, I’ll let you keep your life. You should thank Grace. She wants you to face the law. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have the chance to talk to me right now.”
Fear flashed in Dexter Rios’s eyes as he understood what the man.
was saying.
“Also, remember, don’t say anything you shouldn’t. Otherwise, I can a**ure you, your worst nightmare will not be having to go to jail!” Jason finished and left the meeting room.
It was only now that Dexter Rios realized his palms and his back were covered in a cold sweat.
He knew that a man like Jason had thousands of cruel ways to torture someone, and there was no escape from it-No matter if he was in prison or abroad.
All he could do now was do as he was told.
Besides… He had a feeling that not only he but also all those involved in that case would pay for it!
He was only the first!
It was the seventh day after Grandma’s death, and Grace went back to the town. Of course, she saw Stella Lindsay again.
