    “T-there you are,” Grace said dryly while leaning sideways to


    let Jason into the room.


    “Sis, you must’ve waited a long time.” Jasonughed and walked over to the desk. He saw copies of


    the case file which Grace had left opened on the desk.


    His ck eyes squinted slightly as he reached out to pick up a few documents and looked through

    them. “Is Sis looking at that case again?”


    Grace’s body stiffened a little. She had mentioned this case to Jason before, but at the time, she did


    not know his true identity. Now that she knew, there was a lingering embarrassment and helplessness


    to talk about this case


    again.


    After all, no matter how much she thought she was innocent, the car ident had really happened.


    Plus, the person who died in the car ident was his fiancée!


    “What’s wrong, Sis?” Noticing her dy in answering, he looked up at her.


    “I’m just… looking,” she replied as she swallowed the sudden.


    flow of saliva in her throat.


    “By the way, Sis, you always said that you were wronged. Are you trying to reverse the verdict by


    looking at these materials?” He was talking as if he was just chatting casually, but a dark look shed


    deep in his eyes.


    She bit her lip. Of course, she wanted to reverse the verdict!


    It was just that the witnesses from then were nowhere to be found, and the physical evidence was all a


    heap of hard evidence.


    During her three years in prison, Lina had spent so much money, time, and energy to overturn her case


    but failed. When Grace got out of jail with no money in hand, she even had to ask her best friend to


    help cover her medical expenses that cost just short of ten thousand.


    Having been awyer herself, she knew how much it would cost to get awyer to overturn a case and


    to reopen an investigation.


    In the absence of conclusive new evidence, the police could not waste police resources to re-


    investigate. She could only investigate everything alone, but she did not have the finances to do so.


    Suddenly, she looked straight at him. “How about you? Don’t you want to get to the bottom of the case?


    Find out why your


    fiancée drove her car in my direction? Is there something else going on? Don’t you want to know why


    the woman you love did it?”


    He broke into a chuckle. “The woman I love, eh?” At the end of his sentence, his voice slightly rose as


    if he had heard a joke.


    “Jennifer Atkinson was your fiancée. Isn’t she… the woman you love?” She was confused at his


    reaction.


    He put down the documents in his hand and slowly walked up to her, peeping down at her. “Sis, you’ve


    got half of it wrong. Jennifer Atkinson was my fiancée, but she’s not my the woman I love.”


    She was startled, his voice still ringing in her ears.


    “Haven’t Sis heard ofmercial marriages?”


    Her eyes widened abruptly. Of course, she knew aboutmercial marriages, but she never thought


    that someone like Jason would need one.


    After all, Jason and the Reed family, in a sense, ruled Emerald City. Even if it was a marriage with the


    Atkinson family, it would be at best an addition rather than a necessity.


    She was not the only one who thought so. A lot of people might think so too.


    There was nock of Jason’s ‘love’ for Jennifer Atkinson in the


    chatter about him online. They all thought that he was deeply


    in love with Jennifer Atkinson.


    That was why he got engaged to Jennifer Atkinson at the


    young age of 24. Besides, after her death, he never dated anyone else or had any scandals.


    “You… wanted amercial marriage? You were only 24 years old at the time,” she asked


    breathlessly.
