Chapter 681
Jason’s eyes glistened as he lowered his eyelashes gently. “Maybe he’s having a hard time after framing you. He’s
been abroad, and if he didn’t want to come back, we wouldn’t have been able to catch him so soon. He voluntarily
returned and surrendered himself when he knew that they’re investigating the
case again.”
Of course, what he did not say was that Dexter Rios was willing to surrender himself because he had used a lot of
means to force the
man to do so.
“A hard time?” Grace snorted. “Can he be forgiven just because he had a hard time? It’s like murdering someone
and asking forgiveness from the victim. Don’t you find it ridiculous? I just didn’t die in prison. If I had died in prison,
there’s no way I could
stand in front of him!”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtEvery word she said was like a whip, whipping his heart and making it harder for him to breathe.
“So… You won’t forgive him, right?” asked Jason in a mutter.
“Yes, I can never forgive a man who has done me so much harm!” replied Grace, unaware of Jason’s unusual
behavior.
All her emotions were in the anguish of having been framed. “How
dare he ask for forgiveness? How dare he? If kneeling and
apologizing is the solution, why bother with the law? I won’t
forgive him. Absolutely not. He ruined my life!”
“Stop!” Jason suddenly threw his arms around Grace. “Grace,
stop saying that, all right? If you don’t want to see him again, then you’ll never see him again. If you want him to
get what he deserves, then he will!”
‘Just stop saying that!’
If she knew the truth, she would not be saying those words to Dexter Rios today, but to him!
‘If I had any pity for her back then, it wouldn’t have come to this!”
Grace sobbed in Jason’s arms. “Jason, why do you think human nature is so evil? Is it so easy to sacrifice someone
else’s life for your own? Even if he came back voluntarily and accepted the trial, I can’t get back the life he
destroyed!”
Unless time could be turned back, otherwise even if he was sentenced to life imprisonment, it was only a great
relief to her. The rest was meaningless.
Jason only felt the chest area of his clothes getting wet again.
He knew they were her tears.
She was crying, crying for her three miserable years.
Now, all he could do was to help her reverse the case and clear
her name.
He could not give or tell her the rest!
“Grace, it’s because the evil of human nature is beyond your
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmimagination,” he said.
‘I’ll make it up to you. I’ll make up for my cruelty to you and for
what you’ve suffered.
‘So please forgive me just this one time.
‘Forgive me!”
He said to himself, because… He loved her so much!
In the same meeting room in the detention center at night, Dexter
Rios was looking at Jason puzzledly.
Back then, Grace seemed nothing more than a pushover who anyone could bully. Even though she was Sean
Stevens’s
girlfriend, she was powerless herself. Besides, he was sure the
Stevens family would not offend the Atkinson family and the Reed family for Grace.
Therefore, he had used Grace as a scapegoat.
However, he never expected Jason to stand up for Grace one day.
Two people who could never have interacted with each other
outside of Jennifer Atkinson’s case did so.
