It also made Grace feel better!
After arriving at the mall, Grace began to shop around. Her bodyguard, Huang Qian, naturally followed her.
Grace wanted to shop in some men’s clothing stores because she was choosing a present for Jason.
Just as she reached one of the luxury stores, a familiar voice sounded in her ears.
“Young Master Hart, please. Let Stella go. Stella only impersonated her because… Because she liked you. She… She didn’t mean any harm. If she’s really sentenced, she… She would have to be imprisoned for life! She’s only 29! She’s still young. How could she be imprisoned for so long?”
Grace looked over and saw Third Aunt crying in front of Brian not far away, apparently begging Brian to let Stella go.
However, Brian’s face was cold, and he had no intention of paying them any attention.
Seeing this, Third Aunt threatened to kneel.
Brian said coldly, “I won’t drop the case even if you kneel and grovel to me. The judge will give the sentence however he wants. Even if she’s sentenced to life imprisonment, she deserves it! Since she dared to do such a thing in the first place, she must be prepared to suffer the consequences!”
“But… But how could Stella have known that the consequences would be so serious? She doesn’t know much.
She thought she was just impersonating her cousin. It’s no…
No big deal…” Third Aunt quickly tried to justify the matter.
“No big deal?” The frozen expression on Brian’s face seemed to crack. It was a life-defining event for him, but it was no big deal to people like them?
“Say that… again!” Brian said in a cold voice, and there was some rage on his delicate but indifferent face.
Third Aunt was shocked, only sensing that Brian had suddenly become a different person. He was like a sword out of its sheath, ready to strike her at any moment and kill her.
“I… I’m just saying… it’s no… No big deal. The money Stella took… Took from you should only be a small amount to you!”
“Haha… Haha…” Brian suddenly started laughing and swung his fist to hit Third Aunt. Patrick immediately grabbed Brian.
“Alright, Brian. Why do you care about what people like her are saying, anyway?” said Patrick.
“She said it’s no big deal. Hahaha… Don’t you think it’s funny? She said that the thing that ruined my life is no big deal…” Brian laughed, but his laughter was choked with sobs.
“Now, now. Stop overthinking it,” said Patrick in consolation.
Suddenly, Brian stopped talking and his blank gaze was turned to one side.
Patrick was confused and followed his friend’s gaze, only to see Grace standing not far away. He immediately felt a thump n his heart.
He wanted Brian to forget about Grace as soon as possible, so he had dragged Brian to the shopping mall to relax. Unfortunately, they were not only stopped by Stella’s mother but also happened to run into Grace.
Patrick’s heart was now full of regret. ‘Why am I such a jinx today? Why did I choose this shopping mall?’
Brian stared blankly at the figure not far away. He was scared that what he was seeing right now was just an illusion.
He had been regretting it every day. ‘Why was I jealous of Grace and Chase Harper? Why was I so jealous that I didn’t believe Grace’s words? Why did I choose to believe in Stella instead of Grace at the time?’
A series of questions appeared in his heart, leaving him with only more regrets.
Brian staggered a little toward Grace, his phoenix eyes widening as if to see her better.
‘Is she real? Or maybe it’s just my imagination.”
When he was only a few steps away from Grace, a figure suddenly darted even faster to the front of her. “Grace, plead with me. Stella is your cousin. You can’t possibly bear to see her in prison for the rest of her life!”
However, when Third Aunt tried to get closer to Grace, Huang Qian blocked her, keeping Third Aunt away from Grace.
Grace looked at Third Aunt in front of her. Among her relatives on her mother’s side, no one was sincerely kind to her except for her grandmother. They would even sacrifice her for their own interests.
Since her grandmother’s death, she no longer had anything to do with her mother’s relatives.
“Third Aunt, I’m not going to help you. Stella has tried to hurt me more than once. You would’ve killed me right away if I had hurt Stella even once,” said Grace.
Third Aunt was stunned but then said, “We’re still relatives, after all! Aren’t you afraid of people talking behind your back for refusing to help us?”
“The perpetrator isn’t even afraid of being gossiped about. Why would I, the victim, be afraid? Besides, Stella didn’t consider me her relative when she harmed me.” Grace laughed.
Third Aunt’s face turned pale instantly. She immediately tried to lecture Grace by acting as the elder. She raised her hand to poke Grace. However, the bodyguard caught her finger when her hand had just reached out in Grace’s direction.
Suddenly, Third Aunt’s finger felt as if it was going to break off and she cried out in pain.
“Third Aunt, you’d better not touch me. My bodyguard is no slouch. You’re the only one who’s gonna get hurt, Third Aunt,”
Grace said coldly.
Third Aunt was furious, but her finger was hurting so badly that she could only withdraw her hand and glare fiercely at Grace. “Okay, you’ve grown up, haven’t you? Just wait and see. I’ll see how arrogant you can be!”
“If you dare do anything to her, I guarantee that not only Stella but your entire family will be put in prison!” Brian suddenly said out loud.
Startled, Third Aunt turned pale and quietly left in disgrace.
Brian looked at Grace. Moments later, he asked with some difficulty, “Are you okay?”
“I’m doing really well,” Grace said with a smile.
He looked at her slightly rosy cheeks and the happiness on her face. She was quite different from before. Like she had said, she was indeed doing really well.
However, his heart was only filled with agony.
‘She’s doing really well. That also means she made the right choice in choosing Jason, and… the chance of me being with her seems to be getting even slimmer.
‘Or rather, my chance was gone the moment she wanted to marry Jason!’
“If you aren’t happy with Jason one day, then-”
