    Therefore, even if she had a license to practicew, she would probably be out of business if she were


    to attempt being awyer again.


    Lawyer Carter said, “It’s great that you’re taking it easy. I’ll let you handle some small cases if there are

    any. You can build a reputation first. It’ll be useful for your future.”


    “Thank you,” said Grace.


    Aftering out of Lawyer Carter’s office, the receptionist informed Grace that a Mr. Harto had been


    waiting for her.


    Grace went to the reception room and saw Chase Harper.


    Chase Harper was immediately at a loss at the sight of Grace. His face grew red as if he wanted to say


    something but did not know what exactly to say.


    “What’s the matter? You might as well just tell me whatever


    you want,” said Grace.


    “I… I came here today because I heard that there’s hope for


    Baldwin’s case. It seems that Elise Dean is going to be added as the defendant! I heard from Baldwin’s


    parents that Lawyer


    Carter called and told them it’s all because you found the clue, so I just wanted toe by today and


    thank you!” Chase Harper said quickly.


    “I thought of the key point because you remembered that Elise Dean was also wearing the ruby ring


    that day. Speaking of which, I should thank you,” Grace said with a smile.


    Chase Harper gave a simple and honest smile. Then, as if hesitating, he said, “By the way, is the


    Master Reed who came to the police station yesterday… your brother from before?”


    Grace stiffened a little, but she did not want to lie to Chase Harper. “Yeah,”


    “He must be Jason, right? I heard Young Master Hart calling him Jason yesterday,” said Chase Harper.


    “Yes, he’s Jason,” answered Grace.


    Chase Harper’s face could not hide his shock. It was one thing to guess it and another to know the


    truth. He could not help being shocked.


    “Are you and Jason siblings?” he asked curiously.


    Grace hesitated, and there was a flicker of sadness and


    self-mockery in her eyes.


    ‘Siblings?’ The word that used to be so sweet to her now meant something else.


    Chase Harper noticed this and said quickly, “Sorry, you don’t have to answer me if it isn’t convenient for


    you. I was just… shocked at the police station yesterday. Jason and Brian are…”


    Chase Harper’s voice became lower and lower as he spoke. “Come to think of it, I overestimated


    myself. You have such outstanding men around you, and I…”


    Grace wanted to argue that this was not the reason she did not like Chase Harper, but on second


    thought, it would be a good thing if she let Chase Harper down.


    ‘Chase Harper deserves a good woman who’s suitable for him. I’ve suffered a lot in life, and my heart


    has suffered a lot of heartbreaks. I’m not suitable for him!’

    “Alright. That’s all I have to say. I gotta go now,” said Chase Harper. He was about to turn around to


    leave, but just before he left, he seemed to have thought of something and said, “By the way, I think


    Young Master Hart really loves you. Yesterday when he knew you were missing, he went to press Elise


    Dean about your whereabouts. He seemed to be willing to kill for you just to make sure you’re safe! If


    Elise Dean hadn’t said anything, maybe… He would have strangled her.”


    Chase Harper sighed. He had asked himself if he would do the


    same and knew he was not able to do that!


    He would be anxious and miserable over her disappearance,


    but… He would not kill for her.
