Paisley Daniels’s face suddenly turned pale, and she stared at Grace. “I was wondering who it was. It turns out it’s you!

It seems that you’re an ex-convict too. Haha. What a great match. An ex-convict lawyer helping an ex-convict in a lawsuit.””

Since seeing Grace at the gala that day, Paisley Daniels had sent someone to investigate Grace.

Grace smiled faintly. “Yes, I did go to prison. But I was set up, and the law has given me justice by putting the real perpetrator in jail. So isn’t it possible that Kyla is innocent too? Miss Daniels, you keep on talking about how others have been to prison. How do you know that you won’t go to prison one day?”

Paisley Daniels’s face suddenly turned red. She only felt that Grace’s calm almond-shaped eyes seemed to have seen through her.

“You’re talking nonsense! If you do that again, I can sue you for slander!” said Paisley Daniels.

“That’s good. We can look into Kyla’s case, and perhaps we’ll find out whether it was slander,” Grace said bluntly.

Paisley Daniels glared at Grace in hatred and looked at Kyla Corbyn. “What a good lawyer you’ve found! But unfortunately, you’re going to lose the custody case! Kyla Corbyn, you’ve committed a heinous crime by harming an unborn life. You can’t wash it away no matter what!”

Paisley Daniels raised her voice deliberately so that everyone.

around her could hear her.

Sure enough, some parents and children were already looking this way, and now more had looked over because of Paisley

Daniels’s shouting.

Kyla Corbyn could not even avoid them even if she wanted to.

After Paisley Daniels finished, she did not even give the toys she intended to give to Nelson. She asked the driver to take them all back to the car and drive away!

Looking at the pale Kyla Corbyn and the puzzled Nelson, Grace could not help saying, “Let’s go home first! We’ll just have to let Nelson find out about some things earlier than expected.”

Once they arrived at Kyla Corbyn’s current residence, Mrs. Corbyn clenched her teeth when she learned what had happened at the kindergarten’s gates.

“Wasn’t it enough for Paisley Daniels to harm Kyla once? Is she going to do more harm to her?”

Nelson asked in confusion, “Is that lady a bad person? Also, why did she say Mommy and Aunt have been to prison?”

Kyla Corbyn did not know how to explain to her son all of a sudden.

Grace crouched down and touched the little one’s head. “Even if someone has been to prison, they’re not necessarily a bad guy. Look, Nelson. I did spend time in prison, but a bad guy framed me. However, the law gave me justice and caught the real bad guy in the end.”

The little one half-understood but breathed a sigh of relief when Grace said the real bad guy had been caught.

“What about Mommy? Was Mommy set up by bad guys too?” The little one turned his head and looked at his mother.

Kyla Corbyn took a deep breath. Even though there were things she tried so hard to avoid, she had to face them eventually.

‘It’s just a matter of facing it earlier, she told herself.

“Nelson, I’ve done nothing wrong. I have a clear conscience. What the lady said today is all false. I’ve never harmed her, ”

said Kyla Corbyn.

She did not want to drag the kid into the adults’ feud, but now… Nelson still learned something that he should not know.

at his age.

The little one’s eyes that were similar to Kyla Corbyn’s gently blinked as if he was pondering these words. After a moment, a smile finally appeared on the little one’s face. “Okay, I trust

Mommy!”

It was enough for the child that his mother was a good person.

Her son’s trust made Kyla Corbyn’s eyes moist all of a sudden. All her life, few things could affect her mood.

She did not even care how people viewed her time in prison.

However, Nelson was the only exception. She did not want to be a bad mother in the eyes of her son.

Nelson immediately panicked when he saw that his mother’s eyes were turning red. “Mommy, don’t cry. Don’t cry…” As he spoke, he desperately stood on tiptoes and stretched out his small hand toward Kyla Corbyn’s eyes.

Kyla Corbyn picked up her son, and the little one immediately reached out his hand to touch Kyla Corbyn’s eyes.

be stronger than anyone else for you.”

The little one was relieved when he saw that his mother was not crying.

It was almost time to set up the stall. Kyla Corbyn handed Nelson to Mrs. Corbyn and pushed the motorcycle stall out of the house. Grace helped her push the stall.

Once they were out of the house, Kyla Corbyn gave Grace a wry smile. “Maybe I shouldn’t have been so submissive. I should try hard to clear my name. This way, at least Paisley Daniels won’t be able to attack us in front of Nelson like that.”

“It’s not too late. We can try to find evidence again, but… it probably won’t happen before the custody case is over,” Grace said regretfully. Whether Kyla Corbyn’s previous case could be overturned, it would not be resolved before the custody case was decided.

It also meant that Kyla Corbyn’s criminal record was sure to weigh against the custody case.

“I see.” Kyla Corbyn looked at Grace and said, “Grace, no matter what happens with the custody case, thank you for helping me out!”

“You were the first to be kind to me, so I’m willing to help you,” said Grace. She might not be able to help Kyla much, though.

It had been nearly five years since Kyla’s case. Even if there was evidence, it would be particularly difficult to investigate.

With that in mind, Grace also thought of Jason, who helped her overturn her case. If it had not been for Jason, the charge. for drunk driving and causing death would still be on her.

Jason…

‘Stop thinking about it! It’s really over between us!’ Grace told herself!

Near the window, Nelson was standing on a chair. His upper body was bent over the ledge as he looked through the window at Kyla Corbyn, who had climbed onto her motorcycle cart.

“Nelson, are you looking at Mommy?” asked Mrs. Corbyn, who was standing next to the little one.

“Yes,” answered the little one. He kept looking at Kyla Corbyn until her figure got smaller and smaller and he could no longer see her. Then, he gently lowered his eyes and quietly clenched his small hands into fists.

‘I’ll protect Mommy. Even if Mommy has been to prison and. even if Mommy’s a bad guy, I’ll protect Mommy!

‘Because she’s my favorite Mommy!”

In the afternoon, Lawyer Carter handed Grace a small USB flash drive. “This is something your cousin Stella left here this morning. She just called, saying she needs it urgently and asked you to deliver it to her.”

“Me?” Grace was a little stunned.

Lawyer Carter said, “Yes. Why don’t you go over since you have nothing to do now? I’ll give you the address.”

Grace took the USB flash drive. It was black and small. It looked pretty inconspicuous, but… “Did she use a USB flash drive when she came here this morning?” she asked Lawyer

Carter.

“I don’t think so. She just came over this morning to look at the papers we prepared for the lawsuit,” said Lawyer Carter.

Grace took the USB flash drive and left the office after Lawyer Carter gave her the address.

‘Did Stella leave the USB flash drive at the office by accident?

But she didn’t use a USB flash drive when she was at the office.

Grace arrived at the address Lawyer Carter gave her and saw that they were filming.

It was a shopping mall, but it was relatively deserted. It usually did not have many customers. The film crew chose the first floor for the filming, and many people were gathered around the filming site.

Grace thought of the gossip news she had seen. Stella seemed to be acting in a popular TV drama right now. Although she was only playing a supporting role, the role was of a more flattering type. Besides, the male and female leading roles were played by A-list actors who were popular and had commendable acting skills. They were a guarantee for the show’s strong ratings.

As Stella had gotten a supporting role in the drama, everyone online said that if the crown prince of the entertainment industry wanted to make someone famous, even an outsider could easily become the best actress!

They even listed all the entertainment industry resources Brian’s former girlfriends had obtained because of Brian to show the crown prince’s ability in making people famous!

At this moment, Grace told a staff member that she had come to deliver a USB flash drive to Stella and managed to make her way through the crowd to the rest area the film crew had borrowed from the mall.

The makeup artist was giving Stella a makeover. She had not yet changed into her costume but was still wearing her own clothes, all of which were luxury brands. Besides, the luxury brands Stella liked had flashy logos as if she was afraid that people would not know she was wearing branded goods.

She also wore rings and bracelets on her hands, all of which were worth a fortune.

Looking at the way Stella dressed, Grace wondered who could possibly imagine what her cousin looked like back in the small town.

“Grace, there you are,” Stella said with feigned enthusiasm.
