Chapter 43

Jennifer had been about to marry Jason Reed, President of the Reed Group. She had been in the prime of her life and there had been no reason for her to want to commit suicide by crashing into

a car.

“Grace, do you want to appeal the case?” Jay asked.

“Somehow, I don’t think that will do me much good.” Grace

laughed self-deprecatingly. “I just feel a little unreconciled. I know I’m innocent, so it’s hard for me to let it go.”

Jason grunted.

“Besides,” Grace said, closing the folder. “It’s not easy to overturn

a case. I’m out now. I should be thankful for that and just look forward. No one ever said life would be fair, right? Well, let’s not talk about this anymore. I’ll blow dry your hair.”

As she spoke, she put away the documents and then used a hairdryer to help him dry his head of wet hair.

Jason’s eyes gradually deepened…and a plan took form.

The next day, Terrence saw the dramatic change to Mr. Reed’s hairstyle. Gone was the drawn-back ponytail, and in its place were layers that while still maintaining some length, were short enough to frame his face. He didn’t remember scheduling an appointment with a hairstylist, and he knew Mr. Reed’s schedule inside and out.

“What’s wrong?” Perhaps it was because he had been staring at him for a long time that Jason asked.
