Ch. 201..210

My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict Chapter 201-“Nothing happened. Since she did some things she shouldn’t have, naturally, she should bear the consequences,” Brian said carelessly as if he did not think it was a big deal at all.

However, when Grace heard it, her heart jumped. Saying it this way… Had Emily Theller been silenced? She might even have been forced out of show business.

From then on, she would no longer have luxuries to adorn herself and would have to live a plain life.

On this planet, how many would willingly choose plainness? Especially someone who had experienced luxury before. She was afraid Emily Theller would not be able to withstand that kind of commoner’s plainness.

“What, are you sympathizing her?” Brian looked at the woman before his eyes and said, “That day, Emily Theller was not courteous to you at all, though.” “I’m not sympathizing. I think she wouldn’t want my sympathy either,” Grace said. “You don’t have to treat me to a meal as an apology either. I need to catch the bus back to Emerald City.” “I still want to treat you to a meal.” Brian said.

Grace said indifferently, “Can it be that you want to use force to treat me to a meal?” “I don’t like to use force, but using it occasionally isn’t bad either.” Brian pulled Grace’s hand as he spoke, taking big steps toward the car park.

“Brian, what are you planning to do?” Lig Grace yelled in a low voice.

“Just want to have a meal with you,” he said casually.

Was it really just to have a meal? If a man like him really wanted to find a woman to have a meal with, he would have plenty of women who would willingly accompany him. There was absolutely no need for him to force her.

Just as Grace was in doubt, the two of them had already arrived in front of Brian’s car.

Brian opened the passenger seat door, but Grace said, “Mr.

Hart, I really don’t have time to accompany you for a meal. If I miss this the last bus, I won’t be able to return to Emerald City tonight.” His ink-black phoenix eyes stayed fixed on the person in front of him. He said, “If you’re really unwilling to have this meal with me, I can guarantee that you definitely won’t be able to catch any buses tonight.” Grace choked. She knew Brian’s capabilities. If he really wanted to do this, it would not be hard.

“Why must I have this meal with you?” she asked, puzzled. If this was just an apology for the last meal, it was too extreme.

“Because I have some things to ask you,” he said.

She looked at him dubiously. After considering it for a moment, she got into the passenger seat. If she really were to take this up with him at this time, it would not have much meaning for her.

Besides, she had gone through three years of prison life. She knew a lot more now than back then. She knew that someone like him could easily change another’s destiny.

Just like how he easily made Emily Theller vanish in show business. Emily Theller had even been a star who was quite famous with a whole bunch of fans, but she got shunned by him.

She could not even compare to Emily Theller. She was only a sanitation service worker now. It was a lot easier to destroy her.

For just an instant, Jason’s appearance flashed through Grace’s mind.

If… that day really came, would Jason be willing to lend her a helping hand?

Heavens! What was she thinking!

Grace inwardly mocked herself for the thought that occurred to her just now.

My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict Chapter 202-Was she not anxious to no longer have any ties with Jason? After all, his existence to the previous her was like a nightmare. However, just now… She had actually thought about him saving her!

“Why were you at the hospital?” Brian’s voice abruptly sounded in the car.

“My maternal grandmother is sick. I came to visit her,” she said. Even if she did not say it, he could find out with a discreet check.

“Your grandmother lives in this town?” he asked.

“Uh-huh.” “Then, you…. lived here in the past too?” His voice seemed to carry some hesitation.

“I lived here for some time when I was little, but I went back to Emerald City after becoming a little older,” she said.

“Is that so? Then when you stayed here when you were little, did anything unusual happen?” When he asked this, his fingers that were holding the steering wheel tightened slightly.

“I don’t understand what you mean by ‘something unusual”,” Grace replied.

“Moreover, when I was here, I was still little. Even if something unusual had happened, I wouldn’t know or would’ve forgotten about it.” Brian stayed silent and did not say anything else. The car stopped outside the entrance to a restaurant.

The second Grace saw this restaurant, she recognized it as the well-known hole-in-the-wall restaurant in town. A majority of those who came here to eat were usually locals.

Outsiders very rarely came here.

This town was not a tourist attraction either. This kind of hole-in-the-wall restaurant would naturally not be as developed as a place in the tourism industry that would have many outsiders checking in.

She had stayed here a good few years when she was little too. Only those who were very familiar with the area would know it. After all, this hole-in-the-wall restaurant had been open for many years.

Back when she lived in her maternal grandmother’s house, this restaurant was already here.

Her grandmother even brought her here often to sate their cravings and whatnot.

Grace was a little surprised. She never thought that Brian would actually know this place.

“The dishes here aren’t bad. It’s just that the place is a little crude,” Brian said after he got out of the car. “Speaking of which, you stayed here for some time before. Have you eaten here?” “I have,” she said.

“Do you like the food here?” he asked.

“It’s alright. The quality for its price is pretty high, and some of their dishes are quite unique.” Actually, she quite liked this restaurant’s dishes. However, to someone like Brian who was used to eating various intricate delicacies, these dishes were too unworthy of being served in front of him.

What Grace did not expect was that when Brian walked into the restaurant, the boss would take the initiative to greet him. “Master Hart, you’ve come again.

Every year, I always know that you’ll come over around this time. And this is…” The boss’s gaze moved to Grace. Although Grace had come here often when she was little, her visits were more irregular in the past ten years. She would only come here when she visited her grandmother. It was only normal for the boss not to remember her.

“A friend,” said Brian.

“Haha, it’s rare to see you bringing friends over. Is it still the usual today, then?” the boss asked.

“A few dishes more than usual. I’ll leave it up to you.” As Brian said this, he brought Grace along to find a table. They sat at a place near the windows.

Grace sat down too, thinking of the earlier introduction Brian gave earlier. She and he could not be considered friends at all.

“Every year, around this time, I will come and have a meal here,” Brian said.

“Just like how on this day every year, I’ll go to that hospital and stay there awhile.”

My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict Chapter 203-“Is that so,” she said as she leaned forward. She somehow felt that his words were said on purpose for her to hear.

His ink-black phoenix eyes stared at the face in front of him. Brian’s thin lips parted slightly as he resumed saying, “Because back then, I was separated from someone in that hospital. That person told me once that she really liked to eat at this restaurant, so I’ll come to sit here and have their food every year on the day I was separated from her.” “In that case, I think that person must be someone very important you, huh?” said Grace. Hearing his tone, it seemed that he really missed that person.

“Yes, very important. To me, her life is nearly as important as mine.” His indifferent tone sounded as if he was saying something very natural.

However, Grace was shocked when she heard this.

Brian was this concerned about a person he parted with? Originally, in her eyes, someone like him who constantly changed girlfriends, and was even so merciless to his ex-girlfriends, was immoveable in terms of feelings.

She thought that once a ripple of water appeared in his heart, it would disappear and be like it never existed.

However, at this moment, he was saying that there was someone whose level of importance in his heart was nearly the same as his own life’s. If the media were to hear this, she was not sure what thoughts they would have.

“Since she’s so important, haven’t you tried to find her?” she asked.

He gave a low chuckle. His gaze was still on her as if he was observing her reaction. “I am looking for her. Of course, I am. Only it’s a pity that back in those times, there were many places in this town that didn’t have security cameras.

Plus, I only started looking for her after some days passed, so I couldn’t find her.” His tone carried an obvious regret. How many years had he been constantly searching for this person? As time passed, however, everything only got more and more muddled up.

Sometimes, he could not even help thinking that he would never find this person again.

“Then I hope you can find this person soon,” said Grace.

“Yes, I hope I can find her soon too,” he said. “What about you? When you were in this little town, did you have any special experiences? Such as… saving anyone, or telling someone that the food in this restaurant is really good.” Grace burst into laughter. “I probably told a lot of people back then that this restaurant’s food is pretty good, but actually the locals all like to eat here. As for saving someone… I probably haven’t.” At least, she could not remember doing so.

“You really haven’t?” His eyes narrowed.

“Mr. Hart, are you hoping that I’ve saved someone?” Grace asked.

Despair flashed through Brian’s eyes. So… it was not her? The person he was looking for was not her?

Actually, he had not thought too much of it in the beginning.

It was just that when he saw her for the first time, he felt that her face vaguely had the image of the person from his memories.

Only back then, that person had been much younger.

Later on, according to that person’s appearance from his memories, he imagined many times what she would look like as a grown-up.

In these few years, all the girlfriends he found had appearances that were more or less similar to that person’s image.

This time, after he saw her in the hospital, a suspicion rose in him suddenly. He thought, ‘Is this woman before me possibly that person?’

My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict Chapter 204-After all, when he met that person back then, it was right in this small town.

Except when he asked her about it, it seemed that he had overthought this.

“You’re not her,” he said casually. She was not that person.

What? Doubt flashed through Grace’s eyes.

At this time, the boss of the restaurant served up the dishes.

Brian said, “Alright, let’s eat. Want to have some wine?” Grace recalled her experience of being drunk in front of Jason and swiftly shook her head. “No need. I’ll just have a regular drink.” Thus, Brian got the boss to bring two bottles of beverage over.

“You’re not drinking wine either?” She raised her eyebrows.

“I’ll be driving later, so I won’t drink,” he said.

Her expression darkened suddenly as she thought of that car crash that got her to be sentenced. The charge was for drunk driving, but she had not drunk anything that day at all!

“That’s right. You had a car crash back then because you drove drunk, right?” His voice suddenly sounded. “Is that why you found a job sweeping at the Sanitation Service Center?” “At least I still have a job to do,” Grace said self-deprecatingly.

“Do you want me to go say hi over at the Sanitation Service Center and get them to arrange a more easygoing position for you?” “No need.” Grace refused. After all, a favor from this Master Hart was not that good to take.

Brian furrowed his eyebrows slightly. It was the first time he had been rejected like this. If it was not because she looked like the girl from his memories, he would not have opened his mouth and offered to help her change her job.

Grace lowered her head to eat the rice in her bowl. Even when her head was down, she could still sense his gaze occasionally falling on her as if he was checking something.

After some difficulty, they were done with their meal. Brian said, “I’ll send you back.” “No need. I’ll take the bus,” she said.

“If you rush to the bus stop now, can you still catch a bus back to Emerald City?” When she glanced at the time, it was already 8.30 pm. Even if she rushed there now, she would not be able to catch the last bus today.

As for the train, she would have to wait until tomorrow morning before there would be one.

“I’ll send you,” said Brian casually. “If you don’t want me to, then you can think of a way yourself.” Grace bit her lip slightly. If she was asked to think of a way herself at this moment, she really could not think of one.

“Then… thank you,” she said a little awkwardly.

She got into Brian’s car once again. Grace sat on the passenger side, watching the night view outside the window. The song playing in the car was one of Teresa Teng’s old songs-‘Man Bu Ren Sheng Lu’ Grace felt surprised yet again. She did not think that Brian would actually like to listen to old songs like this.

Moreover, this song had even been set to play on loop.

Hence, only this song played endlessly in the car.

Grace unconsciously remembered that she had once really like listening to this song and even knew how to sing it.

Because this song was in Cantonese, in order to sing this song well, she had made sure every Cantonese word was being enunciated properly.

During that period of time, she had been at her grandmother’s. Was it perhaps her happiest years?

While the song continued to play, Grace’s eyelids unconsciously drooped.

Sleepiness slowly engulfed her.

My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict Chapter 205-In these few days, she had been working and busying herself with knitting the pair of gloves. Early this morning, she got on the bus to rush here and had been busy the whole day.

Hence, it did not take long before Grace unwittingly shut her eyes and fell asleep.

Brian slid a glance at the sleeping Grace and turned the volume down.

After she fell asleep, she looked even more like the person in his memories.

She actually looked similar with her eyes open too, but when she had her eyes open, there was a kind of weather-beaten suppression in her expression. It was something that the person in his memories never had.

That person in his memories had clear, bright eyes that seemed to be full of limitless hope.

When Grace woke up, the car was already at the gates of the village she lived in.

She suddenly felt embarrassed and quickly undid her safety belt. “How long was I sleeping for?” “It’s fine. Not long,” he said.

Grace quickly got out of the car. She reached for her bag resting next to her on the seat, except she did not grasp it properly. All the contents of the bag spilled over.

She was frantic and hurriedly picked up the things that had spilled from her bag.

Suddenly, a hand picked up her half-knitted glove faster than she could.

“You’re knitting gloves?” he asked, a little surprised.

“Uh-huh. I was bored, so I knitted a little.” She found a random excuse before quickly taking back the glove from his hands. She said another “thank you” before shutting the car door. In the next moment, she hastily entered her residential area.

Through the windshield of the car, Brian watched that figure gradually vanish from his vision.

That glove, based on the size, looked like the size of a man’s hand. Could it be that these gloves were being knitted for a man?

For a woman to knit a man something, if they were not family, then it seemed there was only one other reason for it.

Still, that wool was already old wool. He did not know who exactly she was knitting it for either.

Brian started his car once again and drove out of the area… Grace returned to her residence. After washing up, she then took out her phone and looked at the money in her phone.

Currently, after leaving prison till now, the money she had saved up did not even amount to 5,000 bucks.

She had asked about her grandmother’s medical expenses while she was at the hospital. Although she only owed the hospital a few thousand up till now, if the treatment was to be continued, then this money would have to keep being spent. A conservative estimate would be around 50 thousand bucks, and later on, she would still have to see how her grandmother progressed after the treatment.

If it was a quarter of 50 thousand, then that was 12,500 bucks.

She had to get another 7,000 plus.

Thinking about the past, she really did not see 7,000 bucks as something worth noting of, but now… Grace finally experienced the feeling of a penny killing the hero.

Every penny she made from working at the Sanitation Service Center was worth accounting for. As for other sources of income, she had a criminal record, so it would be hard for her to find a part-time job.

Grace sighed. Her heart was weighed down the entire night until she fell asleep.

“Hey, don’t sleep. We can escape this.” W-who was speaking? This voice… sounded like hers. Was she the one speaking?

“My foot… hurts. I can’t… Can’t move…” Now, whose voice was this? It sounded like a boy’s voice.

“Then I’ll give you a piggyback ride. I have a lot of strength. I can carry you for sure!” she said.

“That’s right. Don’t fall asleep. Don’t all TV shows show that if you fall asleep, you’ll die and never open your eyes again? I’ll sing a song for you, okay? I can sing Teresa Teng’s songs. You know, my grandmother says I sing very well!”

My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict Chapter 206-Then, she heard the sound of her young, clear voice singing ‘Man Bu Ren Sheng Lu.

“What if we… get caught again and can’t escape?” The boy’s voice rang out.

“Idiot! With me here, how can we not escape? I’ll definitely take you with me and escape!” “If you ditch me, you’ll definitely be able to escape.” “There’s no way I’m going to ditch you! I said that I will protect you, so I’ll protect you! I’m not afraid of those bad guys!” “Why aren’t you going to leave me?” “Because we’re friends!” “Ah!” Grace opened her eyes with a start. In a flash, she sat up on her bed with her eyes wide open. What entered her line of vision was the pale rays of light.

This was her rental home!

Grace abruptly breathed in as she looked at the time. It was only three in the morning.

Did she… have a dream? It seemed that she had dreamt of a conversation between her younger self and a boy.

Furthermore, she had sung Teresa Teng’s ‘Man Bu Ren Sheng Lu’ Good heavens, why would she have had a dream like this?

Could it be that she had listened to too many rounds of ‘Man Bu Ren Sheng Lu’ back in Brian’s car, so she dreamt of herself singing it?

However… the situation in the dream had such a realistic feeling to it. It was as if it had really happened before… At the same time, over at the Hart family’s mansion, the lights in one of the rooms were still on. Brian sat in front of a painting, looking at it silently.

In the painting, a little girl was carrying a little boy on her back as she advanced through a thorny forest.

His fingers glided slowly over the little girl’s face as he said in a low voice, “When will I finally be able to see you again?” His mumbling voice seemed to hold some yearning, regret, loss, as well as an unspeakable pain.

There were some people and some things that would never be forgotten with time and would instead become even brighter as time passed until they eventually turned into a form of obsession.

Two days later, First Uncle called to urge Grace to pay for her quarter of the medical fees. After thinking it over, Grace still decided to make a phone call to Lina Sweeney.

“Lina, can you lend me 7,500 bucks? I kind of need it urgently, but I won’t be able to pay you back straight away. Maybe just a little bit each month,” Grace spoke with some difficulty. After all, the person she did not want to bother the most was Lina.

Lina had already done so much for her, yet she was unable to repay her in any way.

“Sure, I’ll transfer it straight to you with my phone,” Lina Sweeney replied readily.

“Thank you,” Grace uttered the two words softly.

“Grace, there’s no need to say those two words between 1. You don’t have to rush to pay this money back either. Whenever you have money, you can pay me back then,” said Lina Sweeney.

Despite those words being spoken, Grace still wanted to clear the payment as soon as she could.

She could not owe Lina too much.

This was why when Claire Watts told her about a part-time job to earn some extra income and asked if she wanted to do it, she fervently agreed.

My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict Chapter 207-The part-time job that Claire Watts was talking about was to be an extra on a filming set. The job only required her to register her name and leave her contact number, so there was no need to look at any files.

It was 80 bucks a day with lunch included. If an extension was needed for the filming time, they would provide dinner as well, but there would not be any extra pay.

As Claire Watts said, since she was free on her rest days, she could be an extra and earn some cash. It was a job that was paid by the day after all.

One month down the line, if there was something for her to do every rest day, then in that one month, she could earn a few hundred bucks.

To other people, a few hundred bucks might not be much, but to Grace, it was already really good.

When she left work, Grace glanced at the gloves that she had already finished knitting and made a call to Jason. “I’ve finished knitting the gloves. Do you want me to send it over, or do you want to get someone to come over and collect it?” “I’ll just come and collect it, then,” said Jason.

“That’s fine,” she replied. She then returned to her rental home. After finishing her dinner, she placed the gloves on the table and pulled out the photocopies of the case files that Lina Sweeney had given to her last time regarding her car accident. In it, there were transcripted statements from the witnesses at the time, along with photocopies of the photographs of various physical evidence from back then.

Looking at the contents, feelings of shock and bitterness rose in Grace’s heart.

Among this evidence, there was even the wine bottle and glass that she had drunk from that day, along with her DNA that was detected from the rim of the glass.

It was simply laughable. It was a glass that she had never drunk from, yet her DNA was somehow on it. She had no way of overthrowing this evidence.

She did not know who it was who wanted to hurt her like this, but what was the deal with Jennifer Atkinson? Even if they wanted to hurt her, it was Jennifer Atkinson who ended up losing her life! Maybe they wanted to hurt Jennifer Atkinson but was using her as a scapegoat?

Anyway, it had been three years. While she was in jail, she could not figure out exactly who it was who had such a deep grudge against her. Plus, finding out whoever it was who had such a deep hatred for Jennifer Atkinson was not something the person she was now could easily do!

At this moment, someone in Grace’s Messenger group tagged all of the members.

Grace looked at the group, and it was the Messenger group for background actors that she had just entered today. The group organizer was tagging all of the members to notify them about the next job’s time, location, name of the crew, as well as the number of people needed and the requirements for it.

Grace looked at the date, and it just so happened to be her rest day. Hence, she immediately sent a private message to the organizer and carried out the registration.

‘Okay, on that day, gather at the main gate of Cultural City at eight in the morning, the organizer texted back to her.

‘Alright,’ Grace replied.

Although being an extra did not pay much, this was one of the few things that she had a grasp on right now.

Putting down her phone, she was just about to do a search on the internet about news related to the show that she was to appear in when someone knocked on her door.

The only person who would come over at this time would be… Grace pursed her lips before standing up. She walked to the door and opened it.

As expected, the person that showed up in her line of vision was Jason.

He was dressed in an all-black overcoat with neatly styled hair to go with his handsome features. His entire person looked elegant and classy from top to bottom.

The only exception to that was possibly the scarf wrapped around his neck.

That was… the scarf that she had knitted for him!

Grace looked at the scarf on Jason’s neck with a complicated expression on her face.

Compared to his full attire of luxurious clothing, her scarf looked so rough and cheap. It was laughable that she had rushed to finish it back then because she was afraid that he would be cold. She had even been pleased with herself, thinking that it was not badly done. In the end, it just looked like a joke.

Now, he was actually using this scarf, making Grace feel this indescribable feeling in her heart.

My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict Chapter 208-“T-there you are,” Grace said dryly while leaning sideways to let Jason into the room.

“Sis, you must’ve waited a long time.” Jason laughed and walked over to the desk. He saw copies of the case file which Grace had left opened on the desk.

His black eyes squinted slightly as he reached out to pick up a few documents and looked through them. “Is Sis looking at that case again?” Grace’s body stiffened a little. She had mentioned this case to Jason before, but at the time, she did not know his true identity. Now that she knew, there was a lingering embarrassment and helplessness to talk about this case again.

After all, no matter how much she thought she was innocent, the car accident had really happened. Plus, the person who died in the car accident was his fiancée!

“What’s wrong, Sis?” Noticing her delay in answering, he looked up at her.

“I’m just… looking,” she replied as she swallowed the sudden.

flow of saliva in her throat.

“By the way, Sis, you always said that you were wronged. Are you trying to reverse the verdict by looking at these materials?” He was talking as if he was just chatting casually, but a dark look flashed deep in his eyes.

She bit her lip. Of course, she wanted to reverse the verdict!

It was just that the witnesses from then were nowhere to be found, and the physical evidence was all a heap of hard evidence.

During her three years in prison, Lina had spent so much money, time, and energy to overturn her case but failed. When Grace got out of jail with no money in hand, she even had to ask her best friend to help cover her medical expenses that cost just short of ten thousand.

Having been a lawyer herself, she knew how much it would cost to get a lawyer to overturn a case and to reopen an investigation.

In the absence of conclusive new evidence, the police could not waste police resources to re-investigate. She could only investigate everything alone, but she did not have the finances to do so.

Suddenly, she looked straight at him. “How about you? Don’t you want to get to the bottom of the case? Find out why your fiancée drove her car in my direction? Is there something else going on? Don’t you want to know why the woman you love did it?” He broke into a chuckle. “The woman I love, eh?” At the end of his sentence, his voice slightly rose as if he had heard a joke.

“Jennifer Atkinson was your fiancée. Isn’t she… the woman you love?” She was confused at his reaction.

He put down the documents in his hand and slowly walked up to her, peeping down at her. “Sis, you’ve got half of it wrong. Jennifer Atkinson was my fiancée, but she’s not my the woman I love.” She was startled, his voice still ringing in her ears.

“Haven’t Sis heard of commercial marriages?” Her eyes widened abruptly. Of course, she knew about commercial marriages, but she never thought that someone like Jason would need one.

After all, Jason and the Reed family, in a sense, ruled Emerald City. Even if it was a marriage with the Atkinson family, it would be at best an addition rather than a necessity.

She was not the only one who thought so. A lot of people might think so too.

There was no lack of Jason’s ‘love’ for Jennifer Atkinson in the chatter about him online. They all thought that he was deeply in love with Jennifer Atkinson.

That was why he got engaged to Jennifer Atkinson at the young age of 24. Besides, after her death, he never dated anyone else or had any scandals.

“You… wanted a commercial marriage? You were only 24 years old at the time,” she asked breathlessly.

My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict Chapter 209-“Why not?” he asked rhetorically. “Since I need to marry a woman in this life, does it make any difference whether I do it later or earlier? Jennifer Atkinson was quiet and obedient enough. A marriage with the Atkinson family could help the Reed family’s development in shipping, so why not?” He was talking business, and Grace felt a faint pang of fear as she heard this.

It was like he did not know love at all… Even marriage could be a business to him.

What would really matter to a person like him?

“However, now I think it’ll be nice if I married a woman who is interesting to me.” His eyes were fixed on her as he smiled.

She turned away awkwardly. He spoke as if he was referring to something else.

She told herself not to think too much about it. He and she were people of two worlds. They would never be in the same boat. Soon, after giving him the gloves, surely he and she would never see each other again.

“Well… I’ll get you your gloves.” She hurried around him to get the gloves.

“No hurry.” He took her arm, slowly bent down, and looked at her. “Sis, you haven’t answered my question from earlier. Are you trying to reverse the verdict?” Of course, she was! If she did not reverse the verdict, it meant that she would have to bear this crime and could not hold her head high for the rest of her life.

“What about it?” she asked rhetorically.

“If you really want to reverse the verdict, then I can help you, Sis,” he said.

She gasped. “You believe that I didn’t drive under the influence?” “It doesn’t matter to me whether you drove under the influence or not,” he muttered. “It’s just to get your drunk driving conviction out of the way. To reverse the verdict, I’ll find the best lawyer I can to help you find a loophole in the case. That should get you out of it.” The gleam in her eyes was replaced by gloom. She understood what he meant.

According to the innocent until proven guilty principle, she had to find some arguable statement before she could reverse the verdict.

However, that did not mean she could be vindicated.

The innocence of the suspect would always be controversial even if the case was reversed.

“Why? Don’t you like the idea?” He saw the change in her expression.

“I want to get to the bottom of it. I want to know what went on during the accident. Why did the witnesses all say I was drunk? What happened to the physical evidence? What happened to the blood test that the police gave me after the accident, and why did it indicate I was drunk driving…” This series of questions had been buried deep in her heart over the years.

If she did not get it straight, she would have to bear the crime forever. Even if the innocent until proven guilty principle found her innocent, in the hearts of others, she was still a criminal.

His face gradually darkened. A cold look seemed to appear in his deep, black eyes. “Is it that important for you to know the truth?”

My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict Chapter 210-It’s important,” she said confidently. “To me, the truth is more important than anything else!” “It has been three years since these things happened. Even if there are any evidence or surveillance videos, they’d be long gone by now. It’s already very difficult to help you reverse the case, let alone find out the truth,” he said.

She forced out a smile and understood what he meant. All he wanted to do was to help her reverse the verdict. As for the truth, it did not matter to him. It did not matter why Jennifer Atkinson crashed the car in a suicidal way that day and what Jennifer Atkinson was thinking.

He had no feelings for Jennifer Atkinson at all. Even though Jennifer Atkinson died, to him, it was just a lack of a suitable candidate to marry.

“Jason, you don’t love Jennifer Atkinson at all,” she suddenly said with great certainty.

His eyelids drooped slightly. “I never said I loved her.” “Who do you love then?” When she spoke those words, an answer suddenly appeared in his mind.

For a moment, he looked at her in shock. After a while, he calmed down and said, “Who do you want me to love, Sis?” She suddenly felt that she had asked a silly question. Why did she ask it?

Besides, this man treated marriage like a bargain. He probably would not fall in love with anyone in his life.

“Sorry, I shouldn’t have asked.” She furrowed her eyebrows and said, “You don’t have to help me reverse my case. I’ll take care of it myself.” She would find out the truth in her own way. It might take a long time, but it was not like she had no chance at all, right?

“I don’t?” He stared at her. “Alright, I’ll see what you can think of, but if you change your mind and want to reverse the case, you can always call me. I’ll help you.” “Why do you want to help me reverse my verdict?” She looked at him doubtfully.

Looking at his expression, she was finally sure that he was not saying it for fun.

He would really reverse the case for her.

However, that was strange. Ever since she turned him down at the hospital, he would demand something from her in exchange for a favor… “What do you want me to do? Or do I have to promise you anything in exchange for this favor?” “There are no conditions, nothing to be done. Think of it as my compensation,” Jason said.

“Compensation?” “You ought to be compensated for everything you suffered in prison because of me. Therefore, if you want to reverse the case, you can always do so,” he said.

It sounded just like a great temptation to shake her heart which had just made up its mind.

Reversing the case… Once she reversed the case, that meant she would no longer have a criminal record. It also meant she could get her attorney’s license back. She could still be a lawyer.

However, if she could not clear her name completely, how much confidence could she have in court in the future?

Besides, to her amusement, none of her family, relatives, or former colleagues had even tried to reverse her verdict.

The only friend who ever worked hard for her to reverse the case even said sadly, “Grace, I’m afraid you can’t reverse this case at all. No one dares to do so. No lawyer is willing to accept it, let alone find evidence in your favor.” However, this kept her restless in prison. Every time she heard the name of the man she was afraid to the bone, she could not help but tremble.

Now, he was saying that he could help her reverse her verdict at any time.
