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!”

“Farah, we’re all colleagues. And there are privacy issues to

consider-”

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

She had a point.

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

“That’s not fair, Farrah. People make mistakes, accidents happen

Claire had barely started speaking when Farah interrupted her

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.

“But didn’t she also apologize and compensate us?” Claire asked. “Farrah, that compensation is half of what many of us make in a
