However, Stella Lindsay seemed to be avoiding her on purpose.

She barely spoke to her.

Grace was unbothered because she had never gotten along with

Stella Lindsay, not to mention… Her mind was still full of doubts about the dream she had.

However, these days, she had no more dreams at night.

When it was time to leave town, Grace said to Jason, “Can we go somewhere nearby for a while? There’s a place I’d like to see.”

“Sure.” Jason agreed gladly. “Where do you want to go?”

Jason was silent when the car stopped in front of a hill. He had read the investigation results and knew that a mountain was behind the hill.

It was called a hill, but it was covered with thickets and brambles. Some parts of the terrain were also incredibly steep. A few people died here every year because of accidents!

More importantly… This was where Brian and Grace met!

The little girl Brian was looking for was the one who saved him on this hill!

“Why’d you want to come here?” Jason asked with subtle.

hoarseness in his voice.

“When I was a child, I used to play on this hill. Even though we weren’t allowed to play here because the adults said it was dangerous, I’d still sneak up the hill. I felt like an explorer on the hill,” said Grace.

On the other hand, Stella Lindsay was not a big fan of coming here.

“All children do that,” he said.

“Back then, I always thought I’d find some secret on this hill. For example, treasures, alien spacecraft, or maybe I’d discover some time pa**age. Wasn’t I silly?” said Grace.

Perhaps in the eyes of an adult, this hillside was not that big even. if it was connected to the mountain behind it. However, in the eyes of children, it was like a new world.

“No, it’s adorable. However, you’ve grown up now. This is just a hill, after all. Come on, it’s getting late. I’m worried it’ll be quite late when we get back to Emerald City,” said Jason.

Grace nodded, but she looked back at the hill again before leaving.

She did not notice that as she looked back at the hill, Jason’s hands, which had fallen to his sides, tightened sharply. A strange. look had flashed across his eyes.

Lily was mobbed by a group of reporters when she left the set.

“Miss Atkinson, what do you think about the court’s acquittal of Mr. Sean Stevens’s ex-girlfriend, Miss Cummins, today?”

Lily suddenly stopped in her tracks and looked at the reporter in front of her in disbelief. “What did you say?”

The reporter repeated it in a great hurry. The rest of the world did not know about the news yet. He only knew this because he had friends in court.

The Grace retrial was so low-key that the public was not aware of

Therefore, this was exclusive news for him!

The reporter became excited as he thought of this.

Lily’s face paled. ‘Case reversal? Grace’s case has been reversed?’

However, when Lily heard Dexter Rios’s name from the reporter’s mouth, her face turned even paler. She had not heard of that name in more than three years.

Now, the reporter said that the court would set another date to sentence Dexter Rios for framing Grace back then.

“Miss Atkinson, Jennifer Atkinson’s death had nothing to do with Grace. She was wronged. Will it affect your relationship with Mr. Stevens? Also, you’ve said many times on various occasions that you’d never forgive Grace. Would you like to apologize to Grace now?”

The reporter continued to fire questions.

With a frown, Lily ignored the reporter and walked quickly toward her car. The reporter tried to catch up but was stopped by Lily’s a**istant and bodyguard.

Lily returned to her and Sean Stevens’s home, but he had yet to return.

Lily immediately called her father and asked him to check whether this news was true. After all, she had searched the internet for a long time and could not find any news about it.

An hour later, Harold called his daughter. “The case was really reversed. Dexter Rios was arrested and sent back to the country half a month ago.”

“Even if they were going to reverse the case, it shouldn’t have happened so soon! Following the normal procedures…”

However, before Lily could finish, she was interrupted by Harold. “Don’t forget who has her back now!”

Lily fell silent. ‘It’s Jason!’

The so-called normal procedure’s timeline was only applicable to ordinary people.

“All right. Whatever it is, once the news is reported, the Atkinson family still needs to put on a show. We can’t offend the Reed family over this, got it?” Harold repeatedly warned his daughter.

Lily’s delicately manicured nails almost crushed her phone.

She had stepped on Grace in front of a lot of media and made a big splash about the fact that Grace killed her sister.

Now, what her father said was equivalent to asking her to apologize to Grace publicly. Was that not slapping herself in the face in public?

“Lily, do you hear me?” Harold’s voice was serious. “Don’t drag the Atkinson family through the mud. I want the Atkinson family to last!”

Lily took a deep breath and said, “Got it!”

After ending the call, Lily smashed her phone to the ground.

However, now she would have to swallow her pride no matter what. Even if she had to apologize in public for wronging Grace, she could only admit defeat.

Grace looked at the written judgment in her hand and still found it surreal. ‘Did I… Really reverse the case?’ The weight of the crime. which had weighed upon her was so heavy that she could hardly breathe. She almost thought that she would never be able to reverse the case.

However, who would have thought it would be reversed so quickly?

Once, she thought she would cry bitterly when she got the written. judgment. After all, the thought of clearing her name was too deep and persistent for her.

However, when she did get the written judgment, she only felt weary. It was as if she had been held too tightly by this invisible shackle of a crime.

Now that the shackles were gone, she felt like she was out of her element.

“What’s the matter? Aren’t you happy?” asked Jason as he looked at Grace who had seemingly fallen into a trance by the written.

judgment.

“No, I’m happy!” Grace let out a long sigh of relief and said,

“Maybe this is the best day I’ve had since my accident! I just feel so tired all of a sudden and want a good sleep. Maybe when I wake up, I’ll be the same person I was again.”

“Then, have a good sleep,” he said.

She tilted her head and leaned slightly on his shoulder. “I’m not guilty now, and I can get my lawyer’s license back, but… I’ve left. all that professional stuff behind for almost four years. Can I be a lawyer again?”

“You can if you want to,” he said.

“I want to. I do want to be a lawyer again! I’ve worked so hard for so many years to become a lawyer. That was my dream. Why wouldn’t I?” murmured Grace in a dreamy voice.

Jason fell silent and heard Grace’s muttering voice in his ear agajn, “Jason, thank you… If it hadn’t been for you, I might never have been able to reverse the case. It’s great… To have met you…”
