As the two turned around, Sean Stevens suddenly said,
“Grace, I’m sorry.”
Grace paused in her tracks but did not turn back. It was a sorry that had lost its meaning the moment he agreed to let Lily destroy her hands.
Jason turned around and glanced coldly at Sean Stevens with his deep eyes.
Suddenly, Sean Stevens felt a chill rising from the soles of his feet that soon spread quickly through his body.
The look in Jason’s eyes seemed to be warning him not to overstep his boundaries, and if he came any closer to Grace, then perhaps he would be greeted with never-ending doom.
Sean Stevens’s face paled as he looked at the equally pale Lily beside him. “All right, Jason probably just wants to give Grace some credit this time. We were so humble just now, so it should be all right.”
‘It should be all right?’ Lily did not think so.
The last words Jason said to her, “If Grace says she won’t forgive you, then no”, was definitely nothing simple.
‘Jason will definitely make a move!
‘However, what exactly would he do? It’s impossible to guess at all!’
All she felt was fear and panic!
“Sean, why’d you say sorry to Grace just now?” Lily asked after a long time.
Sean Stevens’s eyes dimmed. “The accident had nothing to do with her, so I owe her this apology.””
“Are you regretting it? Do you regret breaking up with her to be with me?” Lily asked demandingly.
Many people were asking this question online, and she had doubts too. It was only now that she finally asked him about it.
“What are you talking about? How could I regret being with you?” Sean Stevens snapped and asked her back.
“Is that so?” Lily’s eyes were skeptical.
“Lily, I don’t regret it,” croaked Sean Stevens. Besides, he could not regret it.
The look of warning from Jason was enough to let him know that he had better not have Grace on his mind.
Otherwise, Jason might lay his hands on him.
However… After learning that Grace had been wronged, he sometimes could not help but wonder what would have happened to him and Grace if there was no accident or lawsuit.
However, no matter how he thought, he no longer had the right to get close to her.
Maybe in the future, he would even have to look up to that woman…
On the other hand, Jason looked at Grace and asked, “Are you still mad about what Lily said just now?”
She nodded. “Sort of. I know very well that she only apologized to me because of you. It’s just that she was so hypocritical in apologizing and even wanted me to forgive her.
It’s ridiculous.”
How could a casual apology make up for the harm she had suffered?
Jason’s eyes glistened as he took her hand in his again to look at her slightly deformed knuckles.
He knew that she had not been treated well when she was in prison.
“Are you sure you can’t forgive someone who has hurt you?” His words were forced out of his throat after some difficulty.
“Yes,” she replied.
The reply made his heart sink deeper and deeper. “Even if… The person who hurt you did it unintentionally?”
“If they had done it unintentionally, why would they have hurt me? Jason, if it were you, would you ever forgive someone who had hurt you?” asked Grace.
‘No!’
He already had the answer in his mind.
He would never let go of anyone who dared to hurt him.
However… If it was her, his heart did not know what the answer was anymore…
“Jason, I’m not a saint. If someone’s nice to me, I’ll be nice to them too. However, if it’s someone who has hurt me, I’ll never forgive them,” said Grace.
Jason lowered his eyes gently. “I won’t let anyone hurt you anymore.”
Grace smiled sweetly.
“All right. Let’s find Jewel Bailey. Don’t you want to meet her?” said Jason.
Grace finally came to her senses. ‘This is what we’re here for!’
“Come on.” He took her hand and walked the other way.
Without much effort, Grace spotted Jewel Bailey in the corner of the fair.
After all, she had watched many of Jewel Bailey’s videos in court. Therefore, even though she had never met her before, she recognized her instantly.
However, to her surprise, the person Jewel Bailey was talking to at the moment was… Martin Weiss!
That was… The man Kyla made every effort to avoid as well as
Nelson’s fother!
Jason led Grace forward, and Martin Weiss could not help being a little surprised to see the two of them. “We meet again. I never thought Young Master Reed would be interested in fairs.”
“I came here to meet Lawyer Bailey today,” said Jason. Then, he turned to Jewel Bailey and said, “Hello, Lawyer Bailey. I’m Jason, and this is my fiancée, Grace. She’s been dying to meet you.”
“Meet me?” Jewel Bailey was shocked when Jason told her his name.
‘Jason! Is this the so-called local tyrant of Emerald City? He’s someone you can’t offend in Emerald City!
He was younger and more charismatic than she had imagined.
Then, her eyes fell on Grace.
Since she wanted to come to Emerald City, she had also followed Emerald City’s news. These days, the reversal of a case from nearly four years ago was not only viral in the tabloids but also among the lawyers.
“I know you,” Jewel Bailey said to Grace.
Grace was stunned, then she realized that Jewel Bailey must have known about her case!
Jewel Bailey, who was about 40 years old, wore a navy blue formal suit instead of a gown, but it set off her disposition well and made her look capable as well as elegant.
“Hello, Lawyer Bailey. You were my idol during my schooling days. Nice to meet you,” Grace said, then she laughed in self-mockery. “You probably know me because of my case.”
“Yes, your case is a hot topic among the lawyers recently. However, I didn’t expect to meet you in person today and to hear that I was your idol in your schooling days,” said Jewel
Bailey.
“There were a lot of girls in my cla** who wanted to be a lawyer like Lawyer Bailey.” After all, there were few famous female lawyers in the legal profession.
Grace was a little excited, but after all, she had experienced so many things that she was unlikely to pursue her idol in the same way as youngsters did. “I hope I can ask you some legal questions in the future if you don’t mind.”
“Are you trying to become a lawyer again?” asked Jewel Bailey as she looked directly at Grace.
“Yes. I want to be a lawyer again. After all, it’s what I love to do,” answered Grace.
“You still love it?” Jewel Bailey smiled slightly. “If your defense lawyer had been more careful and attentive, they would’ve found something wrong in the case three years ago and you wouldn’t have spent three years in prison for nothing.”
“It’s what I’ve been through that makes me love it even more. I hope I can help people like me to get to the bottom of their case and clear their name through the law,” said Grace as she met her gaze.
Jewel Bailey scrutinized the woman in front of her. She was different from what she had imagined.
“I’m afraid that Mr. Reed played a big role in getting the case reversed so quickly. Not everyone can be so lucky.”
“That’s why we need lawyers all the more, right?” asked Grace.
