    She was usually the subject of ttery in high society. She had never been treated that way.


    “No, I must show that woman Grace a thing or two. She must

    Grace.


    “That’s enough! Don’t bother Grace again, and that’s the end


    of this!” said Harold.


    Camelia Meyer looked at her husband in disbelief. “What are you saying? Grace murdered our


    daughter!”


    Harold’s eyes shed aplicated look, and he looked away. He was trying to avoid his wife’s gaze.


    “If you don’t want the entire Atkinson family to be buried with Jennifer, do as I


    say!”


    Camelia Meyer wanted to say something, but Lily pulled her


    mother aside. “Just listen to Dad, Mom. Don’t go after Grace


    for now.” As for when Jason would lose his interest in Grace,


    that was entirely up to Grace’s luck.

    She knew Jason was taking it out on her behalf. The humiliation she suffered this morning seemed to

    and extended it in


    her direction.


    His movements were so natural as if he would reach out and help her whenever and wherever she


    was.


    Grace stared at the hand extended toward her. She was a


    little dumbfounded. She almost subconsciously reached out and put her hand in his.


    His big hand wrapped tightly around hers.


    “Why did youe down?” asked Jason.


    “I… saw everything… at the top of the stairs. Thank you.” She


    bit her lip after she said. “But you don’t have to quarrel with the Atkinson family for me.”

    gently. “That p isn’t

    She was stunned. What else was he going to do? When she asked, he simply said lightly, “You’ll see in


    a few days. If anyone ever embarrasses you again, just call me, all right?”


    She unconsciously pressed her dry lips together. “You’re making me more and more dependent on


    you.”
