Chapter 43


    Chapter 43


    Jennifer had been about to marry Jason Reed, President of the Reed Group. She had been in the


    prime of her life and there had been no reason for her to want tomit suicide by crashing into


    a car.


    “Grace, do you want to appeal the case?” Jay asked.


    “Somehow, I don’t think that will do me much good.” Grace


    it go.”


    Jason grunted.


    “Besides,” Grace said, closing the folder. “It’s not easy to overturn


    a case. I’m out now. I should be thankful for that and just look forward. No one ever said life would be


    fair, right? Well, let’s not talk about this anymore. I’ll blow dry your hair.”


    As she spoke, she put away the documents and then used a hairdryer to help him dry his head of wet

    hair.


    Jason’s eyes gradually deepened…and a n took form.


    The next day, Terrence saw the dramatic change to Mr. Reed’s hairstyle. Gone was the drawn-back


    ponytail, and in its ce wereyers that while still maintaining some length, were short enough to


    frame his face. He didn’t remember scheduling an appointment with a hairstylist, and he knew Mr.


    Reed’s schedule inside and out.


    “What’s wrong?” Perhaps it was because he had been staring at him for a long time that Jason asked.


    Terrence tilted his head. “It seems you haven’t had a haircut for


    a long time. Do you want me to arrange an appointment with the stylist?” Terrence asked.


    “There’s no need. Grace helped me trim my hairst night.”


    So it had been Grace! However, what surprised Terrence, even more, was that Mr. ReedMr. Reed had


    actually… allowed Grace to


    cut his hair.


    Mr. Reed wasn’t vain but he did insist on the highest quality


    products for everything in his life, and that included having his hair maintained by a top-tier hairstylist.


    Grace was… Now she was just a street sweeper, but even in the past, Grace had been awyer, not a


    hairdresser.


    “The trim isn’t too bad, huh?” Jason fiddled with his bangs,


    seeming quite satisfied.


    The corner of Terrence’s mouth twitched. “I like it.” Mr. Reed had


    always been very picky. If the top-tier hairstylists that had been


    specially chosen by him found out that they could notpare to


    the skills of a street sweeper, what would they think?


    At noon, Lina took time off to meet up with Grace.


    The two of them found a small restaurant near the Sanitation


    Service Center to eat at.


    “Lily made things difficult for you that day and asked you to go through the garbage for a long time.


    Why didn’t you tell me?” Linained. As a good friend, she had only found out about this matter


    through the news.


    “It’s not a big deal,” Grace said with a faint smile.


    Looking at such a good friend, for some reason, Lina’s heart ached. “It is. It’s not fair to you, Grace.


    You’ve been through enough!”


    Back in the earlier days of their friendship, Grace seemed to have been blessed by luck. She had made


    great strides in her studies and had always been the top student in school. Once out in society, she had


    gotten into the bestw firm in the City and even began a rtionship with Sean-the most eligible


    bachelor around.


    Almost everyone envied her. If she was being honest, even Lina had her days of envy. She was always


    happy for her friend, but admittedly, sometimes she’d wanted some of that good fortune for herself.


    After everything that happened to Grace, she felt extra guilty


    about that now.


    They would never have expected that one day, Grace would be falsely convicted, subjected to all kinds


    of horrors in prison, and left to take the only job she could find as a street sweeper.


    Thest insult from Lily… having to dig through garbage for hours, it was too much!


    “What’s wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?” Grace could not help but sigh as Lina shook her


    head and frowned. “Hey, I’m fine. Really. It’s just some garbage.” A small smile yed on Grace’s lips.


    “Besides, if the social media sites are anything


    to go by, Lily is the one to pay the price for it. People hate her for


    what she’s done. It’s an affront onmon people, it seems.”


    “It’s not enough, Grace. Lily has gone overboard. It is one thing


    for her family to find someone to deal with you in prison. However, they continue to create such


    difficulties even after you’ve been


    released.” Lina huffed indignantly.


    Grace remained silent. Back then, she had suffered a lot in prison. Part of it hade from those who


    wanted to please Reed


    Corporation, and the rest hade from those who had been bribed by the Atkinson family.


    She bore scars from their efforts. Some of those scars would


    never heal…
