Jessica stepped forward and gently took Susan's arm to soothe her. "Don't worry. Only you and I know about this. Benjamin will never find out as long as I don't say anything."
Susan, however, was panicking. She knew about Benjamin's concern for Grace, and he had warned her not to provoke Grace several times.
But this time, she had crossed the line.
"Jessica, you must help me keep this a secret!"
Jessica smiled and nodded. "Don't worry, Madam Hawkins. The payment for the photographer was done from my account. Even if Benjamin investigates this, he can only trace it back to me and won't suspect you."
Hearing this, Susan breathed a sigh of relief, patting her chest.
"Good. That's good."
"But …"
Jessica hesitated, then continued, "You promised to help me with the property deed for the land last time."
"That's a small matter, Jessica. Since I've promised you, I will make it happen. Don't worry."
Jessica smiled broadly. She linked arms with Susan and said, "Thank you, Madam Hawkins!"
Susan took a deep breath. As long as Jessica didn't tell Benjamin that she had been involved in hiring someone to secretly take photos of Grace, helping her secure a piece of land was just a trivial matter.
…
Grace published a statement under her name, clearing up the rumors between her and Wayne.
"I want the truth!"
The netizens' enthusiasm was higher than ever, and the topic gradually shifted, focusing on Grace and Xander!
Even Zoey was puzzled.
"The tables had turned! Gracie, you and your Xander do look like a couple. Just a blurry picture has made netizens ship you."
Grace briefly skimmed through the online comments, but she didn't pay much attention to them. "It doesn't matter. Let them be. I don't care, as long as they don't focus on me and Wayne."
"My god, you favor Xander so much!" Zoey exclaimed, genuinely happy for Grace.
At least now, she had completely emerged from the shadows of her past. Letting go of the past meant living a brand new life.
