    She opened her bag and saw that all of her belongings were


    still inside.


    Her mobile phone had been discovered at the Miller residence and had been taken away from her. The


    phone had been turned off so Grace restarted it. She saw that her notifications were made up of a


    series of missed calls and text messages.


    Some were from her grandmother, a few were from Lina, and there were a couple of strange calls as


    well.


    “I can more or less guess the reason for Grandma calling me, but Lina…” She looked at her


    notifications and realized that


    Lina had called her nearly twenty times.


    Grace quickly returned her call.


    Lina hurriedly answered it. “Grace, is that you?”


    “Yes, my phone was… turned off yesterday. I only turned it on today and just saw your missed calls,”


    Grace exined.


    Lina let out a long sigh. “My goodness! I called youst night but it didn’t go through. You said that you


    were going to your grandmother’s house and I was worried that something had


    happened to you. Other than your grandmother, the rtives from her side of the family are all the kind


    of people who hit others when they’re down.”


    Lina prattled on. She had called Grace from the previous night all the way through to the next morning


    but had not gotten through at all. The more she had thought about it, the more anxious she had felt so


    she had decided that if she still could not reach her friend by noon, she would go straight to her


    grandmother’s house in the afternoon since she knew the


    address.


    “By the way, they didn’t do anything badst night, did they?” Lina asked anxiously.


    “They wanted to sell me off to a fool to be his wife and use the money to buy a house.” Grace did not


    try to conceal the truth and ryed to Lina the incident that had happened the night before at her


    grandmother’s house.


    Lina listened with gritted teeth. “Why are there such shameless people? You weren’t taken advantage


    of, were


    you?”


    “I’m fine. Jay saved me, nothing happened to me,” Grace


    replied.


    “Are you currently back at the rental apartment? I’lle and


    find you,” Lina said.


    “Don’t. I’m… I’m not back yet. I’m with Jay now. I’ll meet you again when I’m back,” Grace hurriedly


    replied.


    Lina advised Grace to be careful and indignantly said, “Your family members should be punished. If


    you let them off too easily this time, they might sell you out again.”


    “Yeah, I know,” Grace said.


    After hanging up, she hesitantly stared at the missed call from her grandmother. “What should I tell


    Grandma? Should I pretend that the incident never happened or should I say… that my uncles and


    aunt are being punished as they deserve?”


    She took a deep breath and dialled her grandmother’s number. Not long after, the call was picked up


    and she could hear her grandmother’s slightly trembling voice. “Grace, is that you?”


    “Yes.” Grace could not help but feel her nose tingling upon hearing her grandmother’s voice.


    “Grace, did…did something happen to you yesterday? I… I heard that you wereter saved by an


    important person. Did Miller the fool take advantage of you? Did they…”


    “No, Grandma, I’m fine. Nothing happenedst night,” Grace


    exined.

    “That’s good, that’s good.” Her grandmother’s tone showed her relief. “If something had happened to


    you, how would I face your mother when I go to heaven!”


    Grace could feel a tingling sensation in her nose again.
