    “Yes.”


    “Then… Where’s your brother?”


    When he said this, she stiffened. The


    word ‘brother’ once felt so close to her, but now it felt so far away.


    “He… has gone back to his own home. I was only taking him in temporarily,”


    muttered Grace. She then returned to


    her seat, lowered her head, and began


    to eat her unfinished meal.


    Chase Harper only stared at Grace.


    ‘Is the ‘brother’ who at first seemed to be


    monopolizing her no longer with her?


    ‘Is she alone now? Does that mean I…


    have a chance?’ The idea grew stronger and stronger in his mind.


    Neither of the two in the restaurant


    noticed a ck sedan parked a short


    distance from the restaurant.


    The man in the car was staring at them through the window.


    Terrence did not even dare to breathe.


    He just looked at his boss who was in front of him in fear before looking at


    Grace and the man called Chase Harper


    in the restaurant.


    After finding out Grace’s current


    location, Master Reed just made him


    drive over, and… he just kept watching.


    ‘When is he gonna stop?’


    Terrence just wished Grace and the man


    could finish their meal soon.

    After lunch, Grace had to go back to


    thew firm. Chase Harper insisted on driving Grace there.


    “I have something to do anyway. We’re


    heading in the same direction, so I can


    drop you off,” said Chase Harper.


    “Thank you… then,” said Grace.


    In the car, Chase Harper asked about


    the case and the possibility of Baldwin


    gettingpensation.


    “There’s little chance,” Grace hesitated


    but still answered, “ording to what I’ve been able to find out so far, the


    perpetrator has already transferred all


    their assets. They don’t have any assets


    in their name, and the assets that were


    transferred have all been re-transferred.


    Unless we can now find out what else is


    in their name, we’re just going to win the


    case without getting any money.”


    “How can such a person exist? She hurt a living person!” Chase Harper said


    angrily.


    “There are many such people in the


    world,” said Grace. The selfishness


    of human nature was sometimes


    unimaginably evil.


    It was just like the reason she was imprisoned. It was because the witnesses. who testified against her


    were easily bribed to fabricate facts for money.


    Those people only cared about money. They never thought that the people they testified against would


    be unjustly imprisoned and would suffer for nothing while getting their lives ruined.


    Chase Harper seemed to have also


    thought about Grace’s imprisonment. “If


    only… I had known you earlier.”


    “Hmm?”

    “Well… Maybe I could have been of some


    help. Maybe… you wouldn’t have to


    suffer so much,” he said.


    Grace smiled. Chase Harper was a simple man. Although he was older than


    her, his social circle kept him from seeing


    much of the dark side of the world.


    “Even if you knew me then, it wouldn’t change anything,” she said. Though it may be a blow to his good


    intentions, she did not want him to have any affection


    for her.
