My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict!

Chapter 33

Grace found the statement laughable. “Then you can say those words to my younger sister but not to

me. I still need to work, so if you could excuse me.”

Annabelle replied angrily, “If it weren’t for you, why would the projection ads of Sean proposing to Lily

have been taken down? You killed Jason’s fiancée and he’s taking it out on Sean and Lily’s families,

and yet you’re just fine, casually sweeping the streels here.”

Grace was stunned. The thought had not occurred to her that it had been done by Mr. Reed.

Mr. Reed…as a matter of fact, it was also because of him that she was able to escape from Greg the

last time.

The Reed family was the most powerful and the wealthiest in all of the city. Mr. Reed controlled the

huge Reed Corporation, and that meant that he could have whatever he wanted.

Grace had found that out the hard way.

In the beginning, when Sean was rushing to break up with her, not a single lawyer in the city was willing

to handle her case. Wasn’t that also because of Jason Reed?

All the pain she suffered in prison was ignored by the prison. guards, wasn’t that also because of him?

Because the person she killed was Mr. Reed’s fiancée.

There was even a time during her imprisonment when she’d nearly been drowned in the bathroom sink.

She could still recall almost suffocating and the fear of death enveloping her-much as it did with

Gregory at that awful reunion party.

And the reason behind her treatment in jail was just because someone had heard that the Reed family

had given orders to punish her there. Those who wanted to curry favor with the Reed family had

hastened to stomp on her several more times, torturing her.

Grace continued to sweep, ignoring Annabelle’s scolding.

Annabelle was angry beyond belief and rushed forward to slap Grace but was stopped by Lily.

“Lily! Grace has no respect for anyone, I want to teach her a lesson!” Annabelle jerked her hand free.

“Why bother?” One corner of Lily’s lips suddenly tugged up. “One of my rings has gone missing. I’m not

sure if it fell around here and then got swept up like rubbish. It seems like I’ll have to trouble the

employees of the Sanitation Service Center to help me look for it.”

Annabelle was stunned but she immediately snapped out of it. She also smiled and said, “Yeah, they Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

do need to look for it properly. Your ring isn’t cheap. They will have to go through all of the garbage in

this dumpster lest they miss it.”

As Annabelle spoke, she turned toward Grace and continued, “Since you were sweeping here just now,

you must know where it is. You’ve probably already swept the ring into the garbage. bin, so hurry now

and look through the bin to find it.”

Grace stopped what she was doing and stared at her coldly.

“What are you looking at? Go and find it! If you can’t find it, it means that you must have stolen it!”

Annabelle responded maliciously.

Claire, who was sweeping across the street, noticed the commotion and walked over to ask what had

happened.

It was at that moment that Grace noticed Lily dialing a number. Sure enough, it was not long before

Claire received a call from the director, stating that they had to find the ring Lily had lost, no matter

what.

Grace pursed her lips tightly. She was aware that today’s incident was just Lily deliberately making

things difficult for her, and now she had no choice but to find this non-existent

ring.

A few moments later, their group leader also rushed over. When he heard that Lily’s ring was worth

hundreds of thousands of dollars, he immediately turned to Claire and Grace. “Hurry and look for it in

all of the places that got swept just now and in the garbage bins that were just filled. You must find the

ring!”

“Oh, thank you, Director.” Lily held a hand to her heart. “I

would be gutted if we didn’t find it!”

It was a pathetic performance.

Grace’s boss assured her it would be found.

Lily nodded appreciatively. “Then we’ll wait in the car. If you find the ring, inform us,” Lily ordered

gracefully and turned to leave.
