Chapter 877

It was unknown whether the police

would reinvestigate the case.

“I’ll check with the police station again

later,” said Lawyer Carter as he looked at Grace’s dark eye circles. “You’ve been working hard on the case. You

probably

haven’t been sleeping well. I’ll give you the day off. Why don’t you go home and have a good rest?”

Grace knew Lawyer Carter had

misunderstood her. While it was true that

she had not been sleeping well, it was

because of Jason.

It turned out that it was easier to get along with Lawyer Carter than she

thought, which was a relief to her.

Now that she had a day off, Grace planned to visit Kyla and Nelson. After all, it would not be long before they left

Emerald City.

She did not expect to see a luxury car pulling up in front of the entrance when

she reached the ground floor of her

office building. A woman dressed in a

high-end designer outfit stepped out of

the car.

It was Stella!

Grace was somewhat surprised. Stella

had now seen her and walked up to her. “Grace, what a coincidence! I was just

about to come looking for you and now

I’ve run into you!”

Stella found out about her cousin

working here from Curtis Row, the man

she saw at the club last time. Grace was

now working as a paralegal here.

‘So what if she was once the most

promising rookie lawyer? Isn’t she just a little assistant now?’ Stella sniggered

to herself but continued to put on a

show by pretending to display sisterly

affection toward Grace. “Have you got

a minute? I want to talk to you about

something.”

“Is there anything we need to talk

about?” retorted Grace. She and her

cousin had been at odds since their

childhood. Besides, she had been

studying and working in Emerald City since then. You could say that they had

little interaction with each other, let

alone the so-called sisterhood.

“Yes, of course. If you have any business to attend to that might delay your time, I’ll explain it to your firm. I’m sure

your firm will not be so unkind as to not give you any time,” Stella said smugly. She

seemed to think that the firm would

surely do so if she asked.

She did not know that this was all thanks

to Brian. If one day she could not rely on

Brian anymore, she would be nothing to

others!

Grace looked at her cousin’s boastful

expression and knew that if she did not say yes, she might indeed barge into the firm later on. Therefore, she said,

“Alright, let’s find a place nearby.”

With a smile on her face, Stella

immediately picked out a seemingly upscale cafe nearby and ordered two cups of the most expensive coffee.

“I know you’ve broken up with Jason, so you probably don’t have much money. It’s my treat today. Brian gave me a

black card to spend as I please,” Stella

said ostentatiously.

Grace was quite speechless when

she saw her pretending to enjoy her cappuccino even though she did not like

She remembered that Stella had always

disliked coffee and said that it was like

drinking poison.

Now, she had ordered coffee and was

drinking it reluctantly.

“You can order something else,” said

Grace.

“Oh, the coffee’s pretty good. I prefer

coffee now,” Stella said reluctantly. She

disliked coffee but found that many

people in high society liked drinking it, so she naturally wanted to drink it too.

It made her feel like she was on a higher

level!

Grace said nothing more.

After taking a few sips of coffee, Stella

looked at Grace and said, “Grace, we’re

cousins after all. I’m sorry you broke up with Jason. If you need any help, just let me know and I’ll do my best to

help you.”
