“Let’s head back,” Grace said.
She had saved half her food and the full baklava dessert for Jay. She was eager to take it home to him.
When they were about to enter the escalator to the underground parking lot, they saw Sean, Zoe, and Lily again.
Ugh, these people were like a bad rash that just wouldn’t go away!
The trio looked miserable-various expressions of anger, disbelief and good old-fashioned hatred. They all stopped talking when they saw Grace and Lina approaching the escalator.
Grace had a moment’s pause where she almost held Lina back and suggested that they walk around the long way, but she didn’t want to appear weak.
She followed Lina’s lead, lifting her head and keeping her eyes straight ahead.
Zoe glared and shook her head.
“Don’t even think about it, sister,” Sean warned. “If you so much as say another word to her again, I’ll have you sent abroad.”
Zoe couldn’t believe it. “You’d punish me!? For this murderous bitch!?”
As Grace walked quicker toward the escalator and was about to pass by them, Zoe suddenly stretched out her foot right in Grace’s path.
Grace was caught off guard and tripped. She pitched forward, and the moving steps caused her to tumble and fall.
Lina screamed in shock and quickly ran to the side of the escalator to press the emergency stop button.
Even so, it was already too late. Grace had rolled down a lot of steps.
Lina raced down the stairs. “Are you okay? Can you move?
Tell me what hurts?” Before Grace could reply, Lina was screaming up to the top floor at Zoe. “Do you know that you could’ve killed her?”
Zoe put a hand to her chest as if she couldn’t believe that someone would say such a thing. “She walked without looking where she was going and insisted on hitting my foot. It’s all her fault that she fell!”
“Don’t bullshit me,” Lina screamed. “We’ll find out the moment we take a look at the security camera recording!” Lina said angrily. “And I swear to God if she’s hurt, I’m pressing charges!”
She then looked nervously at Grace and said, “Grace, are you okay?”
“It hurts…” Grace gasped from the pain. She was in shock and her heart was pounding. Every bone seemed to ache and she worried that she might have broken something.
“I’ll take you to the hospital right now,” Lina said hurriedly.
“You just fell down some steps and you are going to go to the hospital!? You’re really making a big deal out of nothing. Are you going to ask me for medical reimbursement next?” Zoe said sarcastically.
But no one had expected that in the next moment Zoe’s face would be slapped so viciously that she would almost fall from the escalator step herself.
“Brother!” Zoe held her face with her hands and looked at
Sean in disbelief.
Sean’s face was merciless. “Apologize! Apologize to Grace right now!”
“Why should I apologize?” Zoe said angrily. She rubbed her face and stepped near her brother as if intending to shove him down the escalator next.
At this moment, people came over one after another. One of them recognized Lily. After all, she was a popular star. Although she was wearing sunglasses and a hat that covered most of her face, she was still spotted. A crowd began to form.
“It’s Lily. Is that her fiancé next to her?”
“What are they doing here?”
“What’s wrong with the escalator? Did something happen just now?”
Voices sounded around them. Lina helped Grace walk down the escalator. Seeing this, Sean hurriedly caught up with them.
Lily’s eyes flashed with surprise. She hadn’t expected Sean to leave her behind and run after Grace! And the people around her began to spread gossip.
‘Lily’s fiancé went to chase after another woman.”
“Oh my god, is this a bloody love triangle?”
Lily’s face flushed with embarrassment.
She watched Sean reach Grace and Lina at the bottom of the escalator and she weighed whether to follow. Grace Cummins had killed her sister. No, she would not be checking to ensure that Grace was okay.
“Lily,” Zoe whispered. “We should go.”
Dozens of people had their phones out and were closing in on them.
Lily managed a coy smile as she and Zoe held onto each other and hurried away. She covered her face with her hands and tried her best to avoid the cameras on the phones as they cut through the crowd.
Sean caught up to Grace. “H-how much were your medical expenses? I’ll cover it. Zoe didn’t mean it. Let’s just keep this between ourselves. We can talk-”
“Talk about what?” Lina asked indignantly. “Sean, how dare you say that your sister didn’t do it on purpose? You Stevens Family people are truly one of a kind.”
As she spoke, she opened the door, let her friend sit in the front passenger seat, and then sat in the driver’s seat herself. Sean had still been knocking on the door, and his face was pale. When he spoke, his voice was trembling.
At this time, even Lina could feel that Sean was scared.
However, what was he afraid of? Was he afraid that Grace would sue Zoe?
Even if they were to take the case to court, Zoe would only have to pay some compensation. The Stevens Family wouldn’t care about much money.
When Lina drove away with Grace, Sean stood rooted to the spot with only the words “I’m done for” repeating over and over in his mind.
No matter what the relationship between Jason and Grace was, at least for the moment, Jason seemed to have a special connection to Grace. Since Grace had been injured, and it was because of Zoe, then the Stevens Family was responsible
And Jason Reed had the power, wealth and connections to bury them.
Damn it!
Zoe couldn’t refrain from being a bitch for a few minutes?!
Was it really that hard to take the high road? Sean calculated scenarios. How far would Jason Reed go? Would he really extend himself in such a way? Sean didn’t know.
And he didn’t want to find out…
Lina drove Grace to the hospital, registered at the front desk, and then waited in line.
Although Grace didn’t say anything, Lina could tell from her expression that she was in great pain.
However, she didn’t know when her good friend had stopped crying out in pain in front of others.
Was it because of those days in prison? Had she already suffered so much that she would no longer cry out in pain?
Thinking of the strange accident, Lina felt that things were not so simple, but she had no evidence to support her postulation.
Seeing her good friend take out her phone, Lina asked, “Who are you calling?”
