Chapter 872
She wanted the rest of the crew to
understand her relationship with Brian so that she could put on airs even though
she was only playing a supporting role.
Besides, the director would also give her
extra scenes if that happened.
She had planned all of this out, and at first, it was going just as she planned.
However… Once Grace came along,
everything changed.
‘Especially when Brian grabbed Grace by the wrist… A lot of the crew members
saw this. Now that Brian’s gone…!
Stella could feel the gazes of those around her changing from envy to ridicule and sympathy.
‘It’s all because of Grace!
from
‘I mustn’t let Grace steal Brian away me! Brian’s my hope for my future. If I want to live a good life, I have to seize
this chance with Brian!’
Grace went to the prison again the next day to find Pansy Dittman. Pansy Dittman was sentenced to one year in
prison for the accident.
At first, Grace just wanted to try her luck and see if she could sound her out. However, Pansy Dittman immediately

assistant of the plaintiff’s lawyer, saying that everything should be decided by the
court.
Before Grace left, she deliberately asked Pansy Dittman if she had been scared by a dog darting out onto the road
on the night of the accident. To which she immediately replied, “It wasn’t a dog. It was a cat. A cat with yellow and
gray
stripes!”
Her answer was too quick, too urgent, and too sure. She even said the cat’s fur
pattern as if to convince people that
there was such a cat.
“Yes, it was a cat. I remembered it
wrong,” Grace said with a smile, but she
already had an answer in her mind.
‘Sure enough, there’s something fishy
about this! Pansy Dittman probably took
the blame for this. The real driver behind
the cause of the accident was probably
Elise Dean!’
Grace had been thinking about the case on her way home. Although she had a general conclusion in mind, the law
was
all about evidence.
‘All I have are the witnesses’ testimonies
and… my speculation.
‘These are not enough to form a chain of
evidence!
‘What can I do to get the police to
re-investigate the case?’
Grace still had no idea what to do
when she got down from the bus and approached the neighborhood of her
rental house.
Suddenly, two men stopped her. One of them asked, “You’re Grace, aren’t you?”
Grace was shocked. Looking at the two unfamiliar faces in front of her as well as the aggressive expressions on
their
faces, she only found them hostile. As
such, she immediately said, “No.”
Unfortunately, her denial did not make any difference. The other guy smiled
and said, “She has some brains, but
we’ve seen your photos. You’re definitely

“It’s a pity that some people aren’t smart enough and did more than they needed
to!”
As they spoke, the two men attacked
Grace.
She wanted to run away, but the pair quickly grabbed onto her. As she
struggled and screamed, one of the men
shouted to onlookers, “My girlfriend and I are just quarreling. Mind your own
business!”
The people in the neighborhood were complicated, and most were riff-raffs.
They saw it more as a joke.
As Grace was about to be dragged into
the car by the two men, one of the men who was holding her was suddenly kicked to the ground. When the other
man was about to strike back, he was already grabbed by the collar and knocked to the ground.
Grace was shocked. She unconsciously staggered when she tried to walk, but an arm wrapped itself around her
waist.
Then, Jason’s voice rang in her ear.
“What’s going on?”
Grace turned her head and stared blankly at the face before hers. Then, she looked at the two strangers who had
been subdued. She immediately came back to her senses. “I don’t know them.”
Jason frowned. “You don’t?”
“Yes,” she said, then she looked at him
