Grace gave him a sharp bite, and the smell of blood immediately filled her mouth.
However, the kiss did not stop as she had hoped. It only became more and more violent.
‘Mhm… Grace could only feel the smell of blood in her mouth getting stronger and stronger. Right. She had bitten the tip of someone’s tongue when she was kissed in her sleep that night…
Finally, the kiss was over.
Grace could only taste blood in her mouth. A trail of blood dripped from the corner of Jason’s lips.
“This is the second time…” he said slowly as he used his hand to wipe the trail of blood from his lips.
‘The second time? Sure enough, he’s the one who kissed me that night!’ Glaring at the person in front of her, Grace suddenly sneered, “A brother wouldn’t kiss his sister like that!”
Jason’s face immediately darkened.
Jason left. After Grace said those words, he left without saying a word, and Grace almost collapsed to the ground.
‘My mouth is filled with the smell of blood. It’s… his blood!’
Even though she had rinsed her mouth several times, the smell of blood lingered in her mouth.
Sis? Brother?
Grace could not figure out what Jason wanted. ‘Is he so bored that he wants to do this all over again?’
However, she was not going to play along with his games!
Grace shook her head and told herself not to think about Jason any more.
along with his games!
Grace shook her head and told herself not to think about Jason any more.
Now, the most important thing for her was to compare the details Chase
Harper told her today with the materials at hand to find out more clues that could confirm her speculation!
On the other hand, the black car had arrived at Reed Residence, but Jason did not step down. Instead, he continued leaning on the back seat with his eyes.
closed while the video was playing on the phone beside his hand.
The video showed scenes of Grace with Chase Harper and Nelson in the amusement park today, but it was not the same video Grace saw earlier.
There were many more such videos on
Jason’s phone.
These videos captured almost everything
Grace experienced at the amusement park today.
Terrence, who was sitting in the front row, dared not breathe loudly.
The video sounded cheerful, but the atmosphere inside the car was extremely depressive.
“Master Reed, we’re here,” said Terrence after a long time.
“Okay,” Jason replied absent-mindedly. Listening to the video was torture for him, but he still kept listening to it.
He listened to video after video.
Even after breaking up and deciding not to love her anymore, he could not stand it when she was with another man.
Watching her smile at another man made him extremely jealous.
He ruled Emerald City and controlled the fate of countless people, but now, he did not even know how to suppress this jealousy.
‘I don’t want her to like other men!
‘If she goes back to being my sis, will I be able to keep her by my side?’
His father’s voice rang in his ear again,
‘Jay, don’t love someone too much. If you love someone too much, they’ll control your life and death. If she doesn’t love you, you may even feel that your existence is meaningless!’
‘If one day she gets over me and falls in love with someone else, even if I could control my own life and death, would it… really matter?
‘Can I really stop loving her after the breakup?
‘If so, why… am I so jealous?’
‘I’m so jealous my heart is aching!’
The next day in the law firm, Grace talked to Lawyer Carter about the clue
Chase Harper provided yesterday as well as her speculation.
“You mean it could have been someone else?” Lawyer Carter did not expect Grace to come up with such a hypothesis.
“Yes. When the accident happened, there were two people in the perpetrator’s car
-the actress Elise Dean and her a**istant Pansy Dittman. The police investigation was based on the testimony of the people involved. Pansy Dittman was the driver, and Elise Dean didn’t drive because she had drunk a little alcohol at a party that night,” said
Grace.
“The fingerprints on the steering wheel and the surveillance video of the two of them getting into the car showed that Pansy Dittman was driving in the driver’s seat while Elise Dean was in the pa**enger seat,” said Lawyer Carter.
“Yes. That’s true, but… the timing doesn’t match,” said Grace.
“The timing?” Lawyer Carter narrowed his eyes.
Grace continued saying, “I found a taxi this morning and tried it out. From where they got into the car, it would take about
15 minutes to drive to the scene of the accident at the speed we got from the surveillance. The witness, Chase Harper, called the police immediately after the car crash, but the time they started the car to when the car crash happened took 23 minutes! At any rate, eight minutes is too great a difference.”
Lawyer Carter’s eyes lit up. It was a detail he had not noticed before. An eight-minute delay was indeed a long time.
“As far as we know from the surveillance, they were only monitored within the first 10 minutes after driving. There was no footage after that, so both of them probably changed seats for some reason during that time,” said Grace.
Lawyer Carter thought about it and said, “It’s not out of the question.”
“I’d like to see Elise Dean and sound her out. Maybe I can find something,” said
Grace. The actress Elise Dean was only used as a witness in the case.
As the traffic case was closed, even if there were some doubts about the case, these doubts alone might not lead the police to reopen the investigation-
unless more evidence was found!
Lawyer Carter pondered for a moment before saying, “Alright, but watch your words so you don’t make her suspicious.”
“Yes, got it,” said Grace.
It was not hard to find Elise Dean who was currently filming in Emerald City’s film studio. Grace approached
Elise Dean to explain that she was the paralegal representing the victim’s parents and wanted to ask more questions about the case. When she heard that, the actress’ delicate face was full of impatience.
“Pansy Dittman is no longer my a**istant. She’s the one who caused the accident. I can’t help it that she transferred her a**ets and refuses to pay compensation. I’ve already donated 100,000 dollars to the injured patient out of kindness. Isn’t that enough?”
“No, I just want to get a clearer picture of what happened. After all, Miss Dean, you’re also a witness. I’m sure you sympathize with the victim, right? You hope that the victim gets justice too, don’t you?” said Grace.
Elise Dean was embarra**ed to refuse since Grace had put it that way. After all, an actress like her was naturally aware of her reputation.
If she did not cooperate now and the media found out about it later, she would not be able to fix her damaged reputation no matter how much money she put in.
“Just ask me anything you wanna know. You’d better hurry, though. It’s my turn to film soon,” said Elise Dean.
“Sure!” Grace answered and began to ask questions.
After about 15 minutes, Elise Dean started filming again. Grace walked alone with her head down as she headed toward the exit.
Elise Dean’s answer just now was perfect.
She deliberately started by asking Elise Dean what she had already said in her testimony. Then, she asked her if there was anything that distracted Pansy
Dittman when she was driving.
Elise Dean replied that a cat ran out and surprised Pansy Dittman. After a while, she tried to drive again.
As for the place where Elise Dean said the cat appeared, it was along the stretch of road with no surveillance. In other words, whether it was true depended on what she said.
Recalling the moment Elise Dean said these words, Grace had a feeling that Elise Dean deliberately prepared this speech.
When she said this, there was a pause in her voice as if she was trying to recall something. However, her eyes did not look like the eyes of someone deep in thought.
If Elise Dean had prepared the speech in advance, then her speculation seemed more probable.
As she thought about this, she was suddenly pulled away by a man. He said,
“Hey, why is an extra like you standing there? Get out of the way. Can’t you see the camera? Don’t just wander around!”
