Filed To Story: The Scarlet Vengeance: Justice of a Framed Beauty Novel (Grace & Jason)
Now, fearing that they might offend Grace and thus Jason, they were even more fearful.
It was kind of ironic.
Standing next to Sean Stevens, Lily watched the scene gloomily before turning her eyes to her fiancé.
Sean Stevens seemed to have been giving her a bit of a cold shoulder since news of Grace’s case reversal spread online, making her feel uneasy.
Especially now when Grace looked tweet and cla**y Coupled with the serenity in her eyes, she was more attractive than before
‘Is this really Grace?’
‘The woman I once trampled on?’
“Feeling better?” Jason asked with concern as if her presence was all that remained in his eyes.
Grace felt the cold in her hands getting warmer and warmer as he breathed on them, the pain in her fingers fading away.
“Much better,” she said with a sigh.
He looked at her face which indeed appeared a little better than before. “Looks like I’ll have to get the doctor to examine your hands again. They’re not cured at all.”
“They’re actually a lot better. Maybe it was just a psychological reaction that caused my hands to throb,” said
Grace.
“So it’s because of Sean Stevens and Lily? Did your hands hurt because they almost destroyed your hands once?” said Jason.
Grace was shocked, then lowered her eyes again. ‘Yes, he must’ve investigated me when he approached me. How could he not know that my hands were almost destroyed?’
“Why don’t I get justice for you?” muttered Jason.
Grace was stunned. ‘Get justice? How is he going to get it?’
His thin lips parted, saying, “I’ll let them suffer twice as much as the pain they had caused you, of course. What about ripping out their nails, tearing their hamstrings, and breaking their bones?”
Such brutal words came out of his mouth as calmly as if they meant nothing to him.
‘Revenge? He would let them suffer for how they made her suffer!’
Grace’s eyes could not help turning toward Sean Stevens and Lily who were not far away. They were looking this way too.
The eyes of the three met in mid-air.
“Grace, are you going to make them suffer?” Jason’s voice rang in her ears again.
Grace turned her head and stared blankly at the man in front of her.
Just then, she only felt that if she nodded, Jason was sure to keep his word.
Sean Stevens and Lily would surely end up worse than she had!
“No, I don’t want justice in that way,” Grace said as she shook her head.
“No?” Jason’s eyes flashed with surprise.
“Because I don’t want to be like them. If I do the same thing they did to me, what’s the difference between me and them?” Grace said as she turned and held Jason’s hands.
His hands were good-looking, slender, and defined. Even his fingernails were beautiful.
The first time she saw his hands, she thought they were clean as if they were free from the filth of the world.
Although after learning that he was Jason, she knew that his hands might not be as clean as she thought they were. She… “I- don’t want you to get your hands dirty because of me, Jay.”
Jason was stunned. After a moment, he said in a hoarse voice, “What if… I don’t care?” His hands were already dirty and stained with blood.
“I do.” Grace looked solemnly at Jason. “Therefore, you don’t have to get justice for me, Jay. One day when I’m strong enough, I won’t have to do anything to make them regret what they did to me.”
By then, she would use reasonable and legal means to seek justice for herself.
Only in this way could she be worthy of the lawyer’s robe she wore. Further, she would not be wasting her many years of studying law either!
Jason stared at the person in front of him, his pupils slightly. constricted. For a moment, he could hardly take his eyes off her.
It was as if she was growing stronger and stronger, transforming without her even knowing it. She was also becoming… More beautiful!
‘Why can’t Grace be more dependent on me? However, this may be the real her!
“It’d be too easy on them to spare them both. How about I make them regret what they did to you right now?” said Jason.
Before Grace knew it, Jason had led Grace by the hand toward Sean Stevens and Lily.
Many people around them knew Sean Stevens and Lily. After all, Lily was a celebrity who often appeared in the media, and Sean Stevens, being Lily’s fiance, was much more popular in the media than ordinary entrepreneurs.
Sean Stevens and Lily were stunned but could only force out a smile when Jason walked over with Grace.
“Mr. Reed, Miss… Cummins.” After a pause, Sean Stevens continued saying, “I didn’t expect to meet you here.”
After all, Jason did not normally attend such fairs, so Sean Stevens naturally did not expect him to be attending today’s fair.
Jason said with a half-smile, “Speaking of which, Grace and you two are old friends. Your recent apology video is eye-catching, Miss Atkinson. However, many of your fans are defending you.”
Lily immediately paled. Her apology post had garnered many comments with some of them attacking Grace.
She deliberately ignored them to blow off some steam. Although she could not lay her hands on Grace because of
Jason, her fans could still scold her.
However, she did not expect Jason to mention this all of a sudden.
“I’ll try to restrain my fans online in the future,” Lily looked apologetically at Grace and spoke gently, “I’m sorry, Miss Cummins. I’ve wanted to apologize to you in person for a long time. I misunderstood that you killed my sister. That’s why I did such a horrible thing to you. I hope you can forget the past and forgive me for my recklessness…”
Grace looked at Lily who appeared so genuinely apologetic, looking completely different from the woman who had tried to disable her hands with a smile.
However… They were the same person!
It was then that she knew just how evil human nature could be.
It turned out that being in jail was not the worst thing for her!
If she had been unlucky then, she might not be able to lift anything with her hands now.
“Why should I forget and forgive you?” Grace asked coldly.
Lily was stunned. ‘I was already abject enough. Who does
Grace think she is? If it isn’t for Jason, I wouldn’t bother talking nonsense with Grace!’
However, Lily could only suppress her discomfort and explain, “I was only misled by the court’s decision. My sister and I had always shared a close relationship, so ner aearn атестеа mе
badly…”
“I’m not that generous.” Grace interrupted Lily. “I can never forgive someone who has done me a great deal of harm, so Lily, you don’t need to say anything ridiculous like forgetting about the past!”
It was so ridiculous that it made her tremble all over.
‘A perpetrator telling the victim to forget about the past? What right does Lily have to say this?’
Lily’s face suddenly turned even paler. “Miss Cummins, I just hope we can make peace with each other.”
“I don’t think we can ever make peace with each other,” said Grace.
Lily wanted to say more, but Jason said, “If Grace says she won’t forgive you, then no.”
For a moment, Lily trembled and could barely stand still. Sean
Stevens immediately supported his fiancée.
Grace turned her head to face Jason and said, “Jason, I want to hang out somewhere else.” She felt uncomfortable facing the two people who had hurt her.
“Sure,” answered Jason. He was about to take her away.
