    Chapter 922


    Grace was rendered speechless. ‘What


    does that mean? Am I a mascot?’


    Shaking her head, Grace threw the


    jumbled thoughts out of her head and refocused on the case files in her hands.


    Baldwin’s trial was about to begin in a few days. ording to the defendant’s attitude, it was clear that


    she wanted


    to put it off and not pay them any


    A year behind bars could wipe out millions in damages which was a bargain for the defendant.


    Although she was now 70 or 80 percent sure that the real culprit was the actress


    Elise Dean, the evidence she had was not


    strong enough!


    ‘Maybe… by revisiting the route the car took or the crime scene, I might find


    something useful,’ Grace thought to


    herself. After all, it was all she could do


    now.


    Otherwise, when the case dide


    to trial, even if they won, Baldwin


    and his family would not receive any


    “What are you looking at? Why are you so focused?” Jason’s voice suddenly rang


    in her ears.


    Grace suddenly realized that Jason’s


    video conference had ended and he was


    now by her side.


    He was bent over with one hand on the


    desk while looking down at the files in


    her hand.


    “Nothing. It’s just a case from the firm,”


    said Grace.


    “Are you really going to be only a mere paralegal in this firm? Don’t you want


    me to help you? I can give you aw


    firm. You’re now licensed to take cases


    on your own. You don’t have to be a


    paralegal at all,” he said.


    “No, I just want to gain some


    experiences,” said Grace.


    “Are you going to say no?” His voice deepened, and the air around them


    seemed tense again.


    Grace bit her lip a little. “Jason, you don’t


    need to give me anything. I’m thankful


    enough that you were willing to get


    someone to protect K and Nelson.”


    What she wanted now was


    independence.


    Even if he did give her a firm, it would


    not be hers. It would be like a castle in


    the air, gorgeous but unreal.


    If one day he wanted to stop giving her things, he could take back those things he had given her at any


    time. When that


    happened, she would have nothing!


    His fingers caressed her lip to stop her teeth from biting it. “Why are you so reluctant to call me Jay?


    You only call


    me that when I make you do it. Is it so


    difficult for you to take the initiative to


    call me that?”


    Grace was silent.


    ‘Difficult? It’s not difficult. I just have


    to think of it as a title, but… Maybe it’s


    because the word ‘Jay’ used to be so


    special to me.’


    However, now he was only Jason to her.


    Calling him Jay would probably give her the misconception that he was still Jason.


    No, should she say that Jay had only lived in her imagination? She never really


    knew him. That was why she was so


    shocked when he wanted to break


    1.


    The Jay in her heart was just a creation

    of what she wanted, not the real him.


    “Call me Jay. I like it when you call me Jay,” he muttered.


    “Jay…” she uttered.


    “Say it again.”
