Chapter 1878


    Chapter 1878


    Her hands on the steering wheel began to sweat. She had not felt like this for a long time since she got


    back behind the wheel. Her heart pounded wildly, and there was a nagging uneasiness.


    ‘Will Jay ever forgive me?’


    He said that anyone could betray him but her.


    However, she was doing it now. She was doing such a thing to him for Mrs. Watts… The thought of him


    drinking mouthfuls after mouthfuls of the vegetable beef soup she made and the sight of him lying in


    bed… Grace felt a pang in her heart again.


    ‘Stop thinking about it,’ she told herself. What mattered most


    now was to send her mentor and his wife out of Emerald City.


    Once she arrived at the freeway and the person who helped her find out her mentor and his wife’s


    whereabouts took them


    on the freeway, they should be fine.


    The car gradually approached the freeway, and Grace could already see the familiar words on the


    Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g


    signboard!

    However, as the car got closer and closer to the freeway, she froze. Her foot on the gas pedal loosened


    slowly, and her hand on the steering wheel shook slightly.


    She caught sight of a familiar figure through the windshield.


    When the car was about to crash, Grace suddenly came to her senses and mmed on the brakes.


    The car stopped, and she stared stiffly at the figure standing outside.


    ‘Why is Jay here? Shouldn’t… he still be asleep? I added sleeping pills to his soup. He shouldn’t be


    awake till at least eight hourster!’


    Her hands were sweaty, and the uneasiness that was nagging at her earlier seemed to finally settle


    down.


    Old Lawyer Watts, who was sitting in the back seat, looked out the window and saw a row of ck cars


    parked on the freeway.


    Jason stood in front of the entry to L City with rows of men standing behind him.


    Old Lawyer Watts was taken aback. Grace did not have to say anything. He could already figure out


    that his apprentice’s n had failed. There was no way they could leave Emerald


    City now.

    “Mentor, you and Mrs. Watts stay in the car while I… go down and talk to Jay.” Grace took a deep


    breath and unbuckled her seat belt with trembling hands.


    When she opened the car door and stepped out, her feet felt like they were stepping on cotton.


    Grace walked step by step toward Jason. Every step was so difficult.


    However, he only looked at her coldly. The cold moonlight fell on his beautiful and wless face,


    making him look more and more indifferent.


    “Jay…” Her lips quivered open, and she said softly, “I’m sorry.”


    “Grace, you betrayed me after all.” His cold voice sounded particrly cold as it rang in the cold night.


    She trembled and heard him continue to say, “You once said you would never betray me. It turns out


    you can easily betray


    me for Mrs. Watts, whom you’ve only known for two to three


    years.”
