Filed To Story: The Scarlet Vengeance: Justice of a Framed Beauty Novel (Grace & Jason)
Not to mention in front of so many people, including the two rich ladies she knew well. Needless to say, this incident would be spread all over high society afterward!
What was worse was that Jason had called her an impostor in public! She dared not refute and had to pick Grace’s dress up. It was like getting slapped countless more times!
With a swollen and aggrieved-looking face, Stella squatted down as everyone watched. She picked up the dress and handed it to Grace. Then, she hurriedly ran away, not daring to stay for another minute or second.
Grace looked at the dress in her hands. She carefully straightened it out and said to the staff nearby, “Please wrap up the dress.”
When they got back to the car, Jason suddenly said, “Your cousin won’t be able to be so full of herself for long. Brian is investigating the incident right now.”
Jason turned his gaze to Grace again as he spoke, “I’m afraid your cousin won’t have anything good waiting for her. What about you? Will you want to help your cousin?”
Grace said lightly, “No.”
“Just because she deliberately framed Chase Harper?” he said as if casually, but his dark eyes did not miss the slightest change in her expression.
Grace said calmly, “That’s partly the reason. I’m not a saint. I’m not going to help someone after they’ve repeatedly tried to hurt me and even innocent people. She’ll never feel at ease and will want to get rid of me as long as she’s impersonating me. Since I’ve told Brian the truth, I’ve already thought of the consequences.”
“Innocent?” Jason snorted. “Do you really believe that Chase Harper is innocent? Aren’t you a lawyer? Aren’t you supposed to trust the evidence? All the evidence is pointing to Chase Harper right now.”
Grace said firmly, “I do. Evidence is only superficial things. If you believe these superficial things too much, then it may lead to miscarriages of justice, which was also what happened in my case, wasn’t it?”
Jason’s eyes glimmered a little before he went silent.
Her case was a sore spot in his heart.
“Besides, Chase Harper is a good man. He’s simple and kind. He shouldn’t have been framed like this. Besides, Stella framed him because of me. I’m going to win this case for him no matter what, and even if I lose, I’m going to keep appealing and finding solid evidence for him!” Grace continued saying.
“Since you want to help Chase Harper win this case no matter what, how about I help you?” said Jason.
Grace froze as if she was a little surprised. ‘Doesn’t he dislike
Chase Harper? Why is he willing to help him?’
“What’s the matter? You don’t believe me?” he asked, raising his eyebrows when he saw the doubt in her eyes.
“No.” She shook her head. Since he had said so, she knew he would help her. However… “I’m a little curious as to why you would help Chase Harper.”
“Let’s just say I want you to take good care of the babies with fewer things to worry about,” said Jason as he gently lowered his eyes. If she lost the case, she would probably feel guilty toward
Chase Harper forever.
Even if she did not love Chase Harper, he did not want her to keep feeling guilty toward another man.
“Then will you do me one more favor?” asked Grace.
“Is it to help you find out Hadwin Stephenson’s whereabouts and why Lina got seriously injured?” he asked as if he already knew what was on her mind.
“Yes. I want to know who did this to Lina!” She spoke the last part through clenched teeth.
“Okay,” he agreed readily.
She blinked as though she had not expected him to agree to it so easily. “Is that a yes?”
“You don’t want me to agree to it?”
“No, it’s just…” It just went so smoothly that she was surprised.
“Since you said you’ll be a good wife and stay with me for the rest of your life, consider this my reward,” he said, taking her right hand and gently rubbing her ring finger as if in thought. “Grace, I can give you whatever you want, but from now on, there can be no other man in your heart!”
She was stunned, and her eyes met his deep gaze.
“I don’t care if you hate me, blame me, or have some… feelings left for me, but from now on, the only man in your heart can only be me!”
His voice rang coldly in the car resolutely, not allowing a rejection!
With a swollen face, Stella arrived at Brian’s mansion to complain. Of course, the most important thing was to tell Brian that Grace had married Jason!
That was the only bit of good news ever since she was beaten to a pulp.
This way, Brian’s feelings for Grace would also end. However, at the thought of Grace marrying Jason and therefore becoming the young madam of a rich and powerful family, she was filled with jealousy!
Unexpectedly, she was stopped by the security guards when she arrived at the mansion.
“Young Master Hart isn’t back yet,” the security guard said.
“Even if Brian isn’t back yet, I can go in and wait for him. He has never stopped me from going in before,” Stella said arrogantly, venting the resentment she felt earlier on the bodyguard.
“That was before. Yesterday, Young Master Hart gave us an order saying you’re no longer allowed to step foot in here again,” the security guard replied.
Stella was shocked. “No way!”
“Miss Lindsay, if you don’t believe me, you can go to Young Master Hart for confirmation!” the security guard said.
She came here to look for Brian because she could not find him! She was also turned away when she went to Brian’s office, and no one answered when she called Brian’s phone!
Stella clenched her teeth and spoke arrogantly, “So what if I want to go in? Whoever dares to stop me can forget about keeping their job. I’ll tell Brian about this later. Believe it or not, you’re going to lose your job!”
However, just as she was about to force her way in, she was stopped by the security guard. Then, the security actually called… the police!
Stella gaped at him. “How… dare you call the police?”
“Since you want to force your way in, we can only deal with it this way!” the security guard said calmly.
Stella clenched her teeth, her swollen face looking even more hideous now. “Just wait and see. I’m going to get rid of all of you!”
While she trash-talked, she did not notice that someone not far away was snapping their camera at her in the dark.
