Ch. 281..290

My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict Chapter 281-Something was going on! Grace looked at her best friend curiously. “Is there?” “I guess so.” Lina Sweeney laughed. “I had a crush on someone back then, but he looked so young. With him, I felt like an old cow eating young grass. It was kind of an encounter, hmm… It was nice.” “…” An old cow eating young grass? Grace was a bit speechless. Her best friend was only 27 years old. “Is he very young?” She asked.

“I guess? He’s quite young.” She shrugged and said, “I met him abroad… Then, oh, never mind, he probably doesn’t even remember what I look like now.” After all, a handsome boy like him had a lot of girls around him. Would he remember her, someone he had only been with for a few days?

Lina Sweeney thought to herself, ‘It’s enough to just have an experience like that sometimes.” Grace’s face changed slightly when she heard her best friend say ‘abroad’. She remembered that Lina went abroad only once. That was before her accident.

Lina was going to apply for further study at a foreign school, so she went for an interview at the school she was applying for.

It was only later because of her accident that Lina did not even go for the interview and went straight back home.

Speaking of which, it was her fault that Lina lost an opportunity to further her studies. It was also fair to say that she had changed Lina’s fate.

No wonder Lina’s parents were still upset. Even Grace herself felt a lump in her throat every time she thought about it.

Looking at her best friend’s expression right now, Lina Sweeney knew that she was probably thinking of how she did not get to study abroad back then and was feeling guilty. Therefore, she immediately said, “Don’t make a fool of yourself.

It’s none of your business that I didn’t go abroad. My grades were just so-so.

Even if I went for the interview, the school wouldn’t pick me either!” “Lina, thank you. Some day, if you need me, I’ll go through fire and water for you!” Grace said seriously.

“You fool.” Lina Sweeney patted her best friend on the shoulder. “Why did you say that? It’s disgusting. You might as well thank me in the future when your case is reversed!” “Sure.” Grace smiled, but there was a layer of worry in her heart. Even though she was obsessed with reversing her case, but… Could she really reverse it?

If there was such a thing as a man behind the scenes, could they still find him after three years?

After Grace went back to the Reed Residence at night, Jason was sitting in the living room and was staring at something in his hand.

When Grace approached him, it turned out that what he had in his hand was the picture he took from her today.

Seeing that she was back, Jason put away the photo and smiled at her. “You’re back. How was your meeting with your friend?” “It went quite well,” she said.

“Is the clue your friend gave you about the case useful?” he seemed to ask casually.

“It should be useful, but I don’t know why the witness lied. I’m I afraid that he will avoid me when I go looking for him, so I want to collect more information about him before making any further plans,” Grace said Then she looked at Jason as if something was wrong. “Do you believe that I’m not the one who killed your fiancée in that car accident?”

My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict Chapter 282-His eyes were fixated on her. “Does it matter whether I believe it?” She looked shocked before laughing at herself. ‘Yes, whether he believes me or not has nothing to do with me. But why do I get nervous when I look at him?” “I’m going back to my room,” Grace said, trying to walk past Jason toward the stairs.

However, he suddenly pulled her arm when she had only taken two steps. The next moment, she pretty much crashed into his arms by the pull.

“I believe you’re innocent.” He bent down and his voice rang deeply in her ear.

“Do you think you’ll find anything if you investigate it yourself? Investigating a case from three years ago now… Did it ever occur to you that the truth you want might not have existed in the first place?” Grace opened her bright, almond-shaped eyes and looked back at Jason. Then, she smiled a little. “Even people as rich and powerful as you think I can’t reverse the case on my own, but a little nobody like me still thinks that maybe one day I’ll be able to clear my name.” Her smile gave him a piercing feeling. It was as if his heart had been stung by something. After a while, he said, “What if I’m willing to help you? What if… I can help you find out the truth you want?” She stared at him, wondering why his attitude had changed so suddenly.

“If I say I can help you find out the truth if you can just stay by my side and accompany me, will you say yes?” he muttered. His warm breath seemed to envelop her entire body.

All at once, her heartbeat became so intense that it almost seemed as if it was about to leap out of her throat.

She knew that if she said yes now, she could clear her name and face the world with a clean slate.

However, this “clean slate” was exchanged with her freedom, maybe even her body. Was it really what she wanted?

She was no longer a little girl. She could only think, in some measure, of what might happen if she said yes.

If she said yes, her mother would not be happy to see her daughter give up her innocence to prove another.

“I’ll find out the truth myself,” Grace said, effectively rejecting Jason’s offer.

“Is that so?” He muttered. He then slowly straightened himself up.

His beautiful eyes seemed to be covered with mist. “Then you can come and tell me when you’re willing to say yes.” He said and let go of his hand that held her arm.

Grace bit her lip slightly and headed for the stairs.

Jason stared at Grace’s back until she was out of his sight. Then, he sat back on the sofa and pulled out the photo of Grace in a floral dress out of his pocket.

“Is it you?” he asked in a low voice as if asking the little girl in the photo across time and space.

It was the quiet air around him that answered him.

In his mind, the photo in front of him overlapped with a painting he had seen before. The little girl in the painting looked similar to the girl in the photo and was wearing a similar floral dress too.

Could this be a coincidence? Jason’s eyes turned cold, or was she really… the little girl in the painting?

If she was, then…

My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict Chapter 283-“Whether you’re her or not, you will only be with me for the rest of your life.

There will be no one else!” he said coldly, staring at the photo.

His tone of voice was domineering.

He would never let her go, nor would he give anyone else any chances!

— In the private room of a swanky club, Evelyn was struggling to please Brian.

Evelyn had no guarantees, so she needed to work harder to win over Brian.

However, what made her frustrated now was that ever since she entered the private room, he had only been asking about Grace, wanting to know how she was as a child, what her studies were like, and so on.

Anything that involved Grace, big or small, he would want to know.

‘What the hell is this about? I’m his girlfriend now!’ Evelyn roared wildly in her head but still had to keep a gentle smile on her face.

and a sisterly expression as she recounted some of the things she remembered about Grace.

What she talked about right now was nothing but trivial, little matters in life.

However, Brian listened with gusto, which made Evelyn even more embarrassed.

Finally, after finishing a few stories about Grace as a child, Evelyn coquettishly said, “Brian, I know I was in the wrong before, and… my original second female lead role is gone now. Everyone is laughing at me and saying that all your exgirlfriends were best actresses and top celebrities. I’m the most insignificant one.” Brian looked at the person in front of him lightly as if he wanted to see how she would go on.

Evelyn felt like she had no place to hide her thoughts from the man. However, there was something she had to say.

If she did not talk about it, she would gain nothing.

“I want to prove that I can stand by you too, so… why don’t you give me another film? I’ll do it well this time and won’t create any more trouble,” she said.

“Is that so? What kind of film do you want then?” he asked casually.

‘Of course, a film with a big production and has a ramous director: Evelyn cried to herself, but she still pretended to be humble. She said, “As long as I get a film, I don’t care what it is.'” “I’ll let you know in a couple of days,” Brian said.

“Great! You’re so good to me, Brian!” Evelyn said and tried to fall into his arms.

However, Brian pushed her away. The next moment, his hand was pressed against her face, covering the upper part of it and exposing only her lips and jaw.

“Brian…” Evelyn was a little panicked. She did not know what Brian wanted to do.

Brian stared at her lips in a trance, his fingertips lightly touching them. They looked just like… her lips, like those of the little girl he remembered which also looked like… Grace’s lips.

Oddly enough, even though he knew that Grace was not the one he was looking for, he could not help but want to know more about the woman-even the most trivial things about her.

My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict Chapter 284-“Go on about your sister,” Brian muttered.

“Huh? Go on… like this?” Evelyn said, embarrassed.

“Yes. Just like that,” Brian said.

Evelyn had to go on saying what she remembered about Grace while cursing Grace in her heart.

Grace was just a sanitation service worker and had even been to prison. Even if she came from a good background, three years in prison was enough to shatter anyone’s reputation.

What did Brian… see in Grace?!

Inexplicably, Evelyn had a feeling that Brian had not broken up with her only because she was Grace’s sister.

The thought, of course, only came up for a moment and was immediately pinned down by her.

“Then… Then, my sister met Sean Stevens. Sean Stevens had wooed her for a while, and one time, she twisted her ankle while climbing a mountain, so Sean Stevens carried her on his back. down the mountain. Sis later agreed to date Sean Stevens. They were quite sweet back then, and Sis would always make lunch for Sean Ste ens.

Evelyn was trying her best to describe the sweetness of Grace’s relationship with Sean Stevens. She wanted Brian to know that Grace already had a man she loved. Unlike her, Evelyn, who never had a boyfriend before. Brian was her first boyfriend.

As she spoke, Evelyn felt the hand that covered her eyes loosen.

At last, her eyes saw light. What came into Evelyn’s eyes were Brian’s phoenix eyes. “Did she date Sean Stevens just because Sean Stevens carried her down the mountain?” His voice was as indifferent as ever, but it seemed to contain a faint ripple.

“Yes… Yes…” Evelyn stammered. She just felt that the aura coming out of his body was like a sharp blade, making people who got close to him feel terrible pain.

Brian’s eyes lowered gently. “You can leave.” What? For a moment, Evelyn was a little overwhelmed and sat still where she was.

“Why are you still here?” Brian said as he frowned slightly, somewhat displeased.

Evelyn finally got to her feet and hurried out of the private room. Just before she left, she could not help glancing at Brian one last time.

However, at the moment, Brian hung his head slightly and seemed to be thinking about something. He did not even look at her.

Evelyn bit her lip. It was all right, she had achieved her purpose today and Brian promised to give her another film.

As long as she grabbed hold of the resources and used them until she became a popular celebrity or the best actress, Brian’s eyes would naturally focus on her.

As for Grace, even though Grace was now involved with Jason, at the end of the day, Grace was still Jason’s enemy and the murderer who killed his former fiancée.

Evelyn was now convinced that Jason defending Grace was just a means to cause her to fail due to excessive attention. The more she was pampered now, the worse she would fall in the future.

It was just the rich’s way to take revenge.

Evelyn left the private room.

Brian was the only person left in the huge private room.

At that moment, Brian took out the little silver bracelet and stared at the silver bracelet.

What Evelyn had said just now made him think again of the past, except that when they escaped back then, it was the little girl who carried him on her back.

He did not even know how her tiny body managed to carry him who was a little older than she was.

My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict Chapter 285-She was carrying him on her back with difficulty as she kept saying, “Don’t be afraid. I’ll carry you down the hill. I’ll take you to the policeman.” Don’t be afraid… However, her body was shaking so much that even when she spoke, her voice trembled.

It was she who was afraid, but she kept on comforting him.

“You’re so heavy…” She could not help but complain occasionally.

“I’m sorry.” Back then, he apologized for this.

“Hehe. When you get better later, you can carry me so that we’re even,” she said with a smile, trying to move on.

He never thought that one day he would be protected by a girl younger than him.

“I’ll carry you in the future,” he said to her as if it was a promise.

He said to himself in his heart that in the future, he would carry her. No matter what difficulty there was, he would carry her all the way.

Where on earth was she?

For many years, he was always regretful of why he had let go of her hand.

If he had held on to her hand back then, would she always be by his side now?

However, Grace was not the one he was looking for, so… “Where are you?” he asked in a low voice.

What responded to him was the silence in the air as usual.

Grace found the time to go to the Sanitation Service Center and resign. When the director of the Sanitation Service Center learned that she was quitting, he was surprised.

“You’re quitting? What’s wrong? Are you dissatisfied with your salary at the center? If you feel it’s too tiring to sweep the floor, I can change your position and transfer you to an office position,” the director said.

Earlier, he had received a call from the management department to apply for leave for Grace.

At that moment, he had been in a daze for a while.

Before that, there were people in the center who were against working with Grace and tried to kick her out of the Sanitation Service Center. However, the director then received a call from his superior, asking him to deal with this matter properly and not to encourage such discrimination.

For a moment there, he thought it might be the Stevens family’s first young master’s doings. After all, Grace was Young Master Stevens ‘s ex-girlfriend. He probably still had some feelings left for her.

When he raised his doubts about it, he got a meaningful reply. “The person behind her is someone even Sean Stevens can’t afford to offend.” Suddenly, he felt a shudder running through his spine and trembled all over.

Originally, the director wanted to satisfy all of Grace’s wants and needs, but to his surprise, she offered to resign.

“I’ll pass.” Grace shook her head. When had she ever seen the director try so hard to keep a sweeper? It was clear that the director knew something.



My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict Chapter 286-If she continued working here in the future, she might not be able to avoid ‘special treatment’ and would suffer peculiar looks from the others.

“I’ll pass. I want to change my working environment,” Grace said.

“I see.” The director thought that the big shot behind Grace was going to give her a decent job, so with some more dissuasions, he agreed to Grace’s resignation. Besides, he did not deduct her leave money and gave her one month’s salary. He even got the finance department to settle it immediately.

Once out of the Sanitation Service Center, Grace took a deep breath. The extra one month’s salary was also a gesture of goodwill from the director, which, to put it simply, had something to do with Jason.

If she had the backbone, she would have refused.

Unfortunately, she could not.

Her grandmother was still in the hospital. The money borrowed. from Lina last time might not last long, and there might be subsequent expenses later. By then, her old debt would not be cleared, and she would owe a new one.

Grace walked to the place where Claire Watts worked and said goodbye to her.

When Claire Watts learned that Grace had resigned, she hurriedly said, “Why did you resign so suddenly?” “It’s not good to ask for leave all the time,” she said.

“This is an accident. You can just ask for leave, I can do more,” Claire Watts said, looking at Grace’s ten fingers that were still wrapped in gauze. “Is your hand all right?” “I can remove the gauze in two more days. It’s all right,” Grace said.

“What kind of job are you going to look for?” Claire Watts asked with concern.

“Maybe I’ll work as a food delivery rider,” she said.

“That’s going to be hard work.” Claire Watts sighed. She had to run around for that job, and it cost a lot more energy than sweeping the floor.

“I’m not afraid of hard work.” Grace smiled faintly. All she was afraid of now was the lack of money.

One would only know the importance of money when they needed it.

Once she was back in Reed Residence, Grace found Jason sitting on the sofa, waiting for her.

“Come here,” he said to her, holding out one hand.

She bit her lip a little, hesitated for a moment, and went to his side.

He took her hands gently in both of his and stroked his fingers over hers that were wrapped in gauze. “Where have you been?” “I was at the Sanitation Service Center,” she said.

“The driver said you insisted that you didn’t want him to send you there and got on the bus instead?” he asked again.

“I’m not used to being picked up,” she replied.

“It’s a good thing you’re back now. When you came back, he didn’t see you and could not catch which bus you were on. If you had come back 15 minutes later, I’d have the whole city looking for you,” Jason said calmly as if he was just casually talking.

Grace was taken aback. “The whole city… looking for me?” That was a bit of an exaggeration.

“Didn’t I tell you to recuperate? What were you doing at the Sanitation Service Center?” He said and instructed the servant to bring her daily change of medicine and gauze.

“I went to go through the formalities of resigning,” she answered truthfully. He probably would have found out eventually even if she did not tell him.

“You want to change your job? Why don’t I see if I have a job for you?” he said.

My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict Chapter 287-“It’s all right. I’ll find a job myself.” She refused.

His eyes darkened, and the fingers that clung to her hands tightened slightly.

“You don’t like me helping you to find a job, Sis?” Her body could not help but stiffen. It was as if her surroundings were filled with some kind of pressure.

“I want to find a job myself.” She took a deep breath, her almond-shaped eyes meeting his dark gaze.

It would have been much easier for her if he found her a job. The job he would have given her would certainly be one that was easier and paid a lot more.

However, how long… would that last?

When he got tired of the game in the future and kicked her out, all she would have then would be nothing.

Or perhaps, in addition to this scruple, her refusal was to preserve what little self-respect she had left.

Yes. Now, the ordeal of life and the cruelty of reality continued to wear away her pride.

Once upon a time, it had been difficult for her to imagine what it was like to kneel to people, but in prison, she knelt to people more than once, ate food that was overturned on the ground, and had her head trampled by people with their feet… Why talk about self-esteem when staying alive was hard enough?

Now, she, who was once proud, already had her self-esteem shattered.

She would like to keep what little self-esteem she had left.

The two looked at each other. Even the servant who had come with the medicine and gauze could feel the suffocating atmosphere in the air around them.

As a result, the servant, with slightly shaky hands, left the things on the coffee table. She then quickly retreated to one side, fearing that the boss would be angry. After all, in Emerald City, who dared to provoke Young Master Reed?

Grace stared at Jason with her eyes wide open. She could sense that he was angry. Even his extremely beautiful eyes had an unmistakable hint of anger within them.

A sense of fear pervaded her body. After all, she already had a fear of him.

Only now she did not know where she had the courage to keep staring into his eyes.

Finally, he gently lowered his eyes and was now smiling a little. “Since you’re going to find a job yourself, then find it yourself.” As he spoke, he unwrapped the gauze from her fingers bit by bit. He deftly removed the gauze, reapplied the ointment to her fingers, and wrapped her fingers in the new gauze.

His movements were very gentle. Each of his movements was so careful.

Grace could not help but look at the man in front of her. At the moment, his head was lowered, so she could not see his face, but his gentle gestures seemed so protective of her.

It was he who had been changing her dressing and gauze these days. She said that it would be fine for the servant to change it for her, but he insisted that he would change the dressing for her.

“I don’t trust anyone else with Sis.” This was the answer he gave.

There were times when she really thought she did not understand him. He would look like he was angry one moment but would gently change her dressing the next.

He was like… a different person.

Or should she say he was… temperamental?

As he once again wrapped her fingers in gauze, he raised nis eyes. Suddenly, their eyes collided with each other. The anger in his eyes was gone, and he had a smile on his face.

My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict Chapter 288-Grace’s face could not help but turn a little red. Subconsciously, she wanted to turn away.

However, his fingers were under her chin the very next moment. “Sis seemed to be watching me intently just now. Why? Do you think I’m good looking?” She choked. How was she supposed to answer? Should she say that he was good looking? Or that he was not?

Either one did not seem like a good answer! Grace felt her face burning and tried to avoid his gaze, but she was unable to do so.

The servant who was on the side tactfully looked down, but the mere sound of their conversation roused a tempest in her heart.

Young Master Reed treated Miss Cummins differently. Was it true that Miss Cummins would someday be the mistress of the Reed family as some people had said?

However, did Miss Cummins not work as a sanitation service worker at the Sanitation Service Center?

Was it possible for… Young Master Reed to marry such a woman?

At night, Grace laid in bed. She was still awake and looking at her fingers wrapped in gauze under the light of the moon through the window. Jason had been changing her dressing himself these days.

He was more attentive toward her than Sean Stevens was when he was dating her, and sometimes, she could not help but be absent-minded for a moment.

If… If he was not Jason and was someone else, maybe she would fall in love with him.

After all, there were few women who would not be charmed by a man who pampered them and was a feast for the eyes.

However, because he was Jason and because there was a lingering fear of him in her heart, she would constantly remind herself to wake up when she found herself distracted.

‘After the wounds on my hands get better, I’ll leave immediately,’ thought Grace.

The next day, she began using her phone to search the internet. for food delivery rider jobs and created her resume.

The threshold for food delivery riders was relatively low, but all of them required a health certificate. Grace found herself having to get a health certificate before she could work in the industry. This meant that she needed to make a trip to the hospital.

Come to think of it, she seemed to end up going to the hospital quite frequently these days.

It would cost her some money to get a health certificate and to do basic tests. As her money got lesser and lesser, it became more and more precious to her.

Two days later, Grace’s fingers were no longer wrapped in gauze.

However, there were faint scars where she had been burned.

Jason held up her fingers and stared at the scars on her fingertips.

“I’ll ask the hospital to prescribe some medicine to remove the scars. It shouldn’t be a problem to remove them.” “It doesn’t matter even if they can’t be removed,” Grace said. She was happy to trade the scars for half the album.

“You may not mind, but I do,” he muttered. The scars on her fingertips seemed to remind him of his mistake.

If he had insisted on going with her to her house that day, she would not have hurt her hand.

“I want Sis to be perfectly fine and not an inch hurt,” he muttered.

She was suddenly tempted to laugh. Not an inch hurt? However, she had already been so badly hurt when she was in prison!

“My hand is pretty much healed now. When can I go back to the rental house?” she said, changing the subject.

My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict Chapter 289-He paused slightly as he caressed her fingertips. “Why do you want to go back so soon?” “I’ve recovered from my injury. There’s no reason for me to live here anymore.” She bit her lip slightly.

“Do you want to get out of here?” His face grew cold.

“Yes.” She nodded.

“Are you that desperate to stay away from me?” Even his voice had grown cold.

“I’m used to being alone,” she said.

He gave a sudden sneer. “Used to being alone? If that’s the case, why did you take me home in the first place? It was you who said that you’re too lonely, so you wanted someone to accompany you. It was also you who said you want to be with me and want us to rely on each other. Have you forgotten all this?” Her eyelashes quivered a little. How could she have forgotten that? However, it was all a joke now.

She was silent, and he looked at her steadily. The suffocating pressure was in the air again.

Suddenly, his voice rang in her ears once again. “You said your want to leave because your wound has more or less healed, right?

Does that mean if you were hurt, you would be willing to stay here?” Startled, she raised her head suddenly and stared at him.

However, he leaned forward in a flash. With his hand on the back of her head, his thin lips were instantly glued to her red lips.

She felt his breath filling the tip of her nose, and before she knew it, the kiss had begun.

He kept on soliciting, and she kept on losing ground. No matter how hard she tried, it seemed that she could not get out of this kiss.

Just as she felt herself suffocating, she felt a sharp pain in her lips. It was followed by a bloody smell in her mouth.

By the time the kiss was over, Grace felt only a whiff of pain in the corner of her lip he had bitten her until her lips were bleeding!

He smirked and looked at her with a faint smile. However, his bright amorous eyes were now a burst of cold.

He lifted his finger and brushed it lightly over her injured lip. A streak of blood immediately stained his fingertips.

The hues of white and red looked so contrasting.

He smiled, sticking out the tip of his tongue to lick the blood on his fingertip.

“You see, Sis. It’s easy for you to get hurt, isn’t it? Since your injury is not healed yet, you have to stay here.” He was smiling, but it made her shiver. She went cold, and her palms and back were covered with sweat.

This was Jason, a man who ruled Emerald City!

She was like a pawn in his hand. She could not get away no matter what!

Could she still escape from him? Or could she never escape unless he got tired of her?

At that moment, Grace suddenly wondered about her future.

Jason stood up after finishing his statement. He gave her a commanding look and turned away 

My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict Chapter 290-The huge room was as cool as water at night. It was so cold that one could catch a cold!

As soon as Evelyn got home, she heard that her mother had been dismissed from her job and that her father was also demoted from a supervisor to a regular employee!

“How can this be?” Evelyn said in surprise. Both of her parents worked in the public sector, and in this sector, as long as one did not make any mistakes, they would not get demoted at all, let alone fired.

Besides, she was still Brian’s girlfriend! Even if the head of the sector wanted to fire and demote her parents, they should also consider that!

“Didn’t you tell your superiors that I’m now Brian’s girlfriend?” Evelyn said.

“We did. Of course, we did.” At the mention of this, Melinda Riley became very angry. She had told her boss that her daughter was the entertainment industry’s prince’s girlfriend and that in the future, she would marry into a rich and powerful family.

However, Melinda Riley’s Boss ignore matter who your daughter’s boyfriend is, you have to leave today. There’s no room for discussion!” It really pissed her off.

Who would have thought there would be more! She never stopped showing off to her colleagues that her daughter was involved with the entertainment industry’s prince. When they saw her packing up her things after getting laid off, the colleagues who had once cozied up to her were now making fun of her downfall.

One of her colleagues, whom she often pressured, even ran up to her and said, “Oh, Cuie, isn’t your daughter Brian’s girlfriend? Even if you lose your job, your daughter can fully support you! I just don’t know how long these days will last. I heard that Brian changes his girlfriends very quickly. If becoming his girlfriend means that one can marry into a rich family, just think of how many wives Brian must have!” Then, several of her colleagues made self-righteous second opinions, giving suggestions as if they were in her best interests.

“Yes. Ask your daughter to get as much as she can now, Cuie. She may not get the chance after a few months.” “Is it that easy to marry into such a rich and powerful family? Your daughter is not a socialite. The more rich and powerful the family, the more likely the wife has to be of equal social status.” Of course, she knew that these people were not making friendly suggestions.

They were mocking her! She had shown off too much. How could these colleagues not step on her face now?

“When Brian marries you, I must go back to shove it in their faces and show them that I can be Brian’s mother-in-law! I’ll like to see what they’ll say then!” Melinda Riley said furiously.

Evelyn felt a pang of guilt. If it had been before, she would have agreed with her mother, but now… She was by no means certain of it.

These days, Brian only talked to her about her sister. It was as if he was not interested to listen to anything else.

She had been racking her brains to think of all sorts of things to say about her sister.

Even now, she did not understand what Brian saw in her sister! She was just a street sweeper, right? What was there to know?

However, Tony Cummins said, “What’s wrong with our family? I don’t think we’ve offended anyone. How can all our jobs go wrong at the same time?” Evelyn suddenly shuddered, turning white in the face. She said, “It can’t be because of Sis. Dad burned the photo album that day… Could it be that she complained to Jason, so Jason took matters in his hands and attacked our family?” The more they thought about it, the more likely it was. Otherwise, normal people would have cared that she was Brian’s girlfriend and not dared to harm her family.
