My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict!

Chapter 50

Just then, Farah Steele walked over, glanced briefly at Grace with unmasked contempt, and said, “Honestly, Claire, why are you talking to her?” Before Claire could reply, she went on, “This woman has been to jail! She’s taken a woman’s life!”

“It isn’t ‘private’ if it’s all over the internet.”

“Why are you defending her, Claire? Grace went to jail for drunken, reckless driving. She killed someone!”

again. “But the person she killed was Jennifer Atkinson. Do you know who Jennifer Atkinson is? She’s Lily Atkinson’s sister! It was no coincidence that Lily was here.
