My gorgeous wife is an ex-convict (Grace) novel Chapter 24

Chapter 24 

Seeing that Grace was trying to finish her work for the day, Chase shook his head. “Excuse me. You’re right. I’ll go since you’re busy.” 

Watching Chase leave, Jason suddenly grabbed Grace’s chin with his fingers and half-forced her to face him straight. “I don’t like you seeing other men like this. He doesn’t look trustworthy.” 

Grace burst out laughing. “What are you thinking? I don’t have any intentions towards him.” 

“Does that mean he doesn’t have those kinds of feelings towards you?” he asked back. 

She was at a loss for words. 

“Is he the colleague who likes you?” he asked. 

“Yes, I’ve already asked my friend Claire to help discourage him. He’s a nice guy, and he means well. I’m just not looking to get into a relationship. I didn’t expect him to approach me today.” 

“If you don’t like him, you should refuse him directly,” Jason said. “He’s not worthy of you.” 

Grace laughed. “You probably think too much of me. It is me that’s not good enough for him. He has a house, a car, and a 

steady job. In our workplace, many girls like him.” 

“You are worth much more than that,” he said quietly. 

In his tone, there was a desire for possession that he had not even noticed.

After Grace cleaned the road and was preparing to pack up tools to return to the Sanitation Service Center, Mia suddenly rushed up from the side of the building and said to Grace, “Can you please forgive me? I really can’t lose this current job. This job is very important to me! I beg you, tell our director that you forgive me and ask him to cancel the order for dismissal, okay?” 

After thinking about it for a while, Mia still felt that Grace was most likely the one that she had offended. 

Grace shook her head. “You’re mistaken. I have no power here. I’m not sure what you did or why you’re being let go, but it has nothing to do with me. I have no connections with your director 

either.” 

“That’s impossible!” Mia said anxiously. “You’re the only one I’ve ever offended. Could it be that Sean saw you like that and couldn’t bear it, and so he avenged you? Is that why I was 

condemned?” 

Thinking it over, there was only this possibility. 

Only now did Grace finally understand the reason for Mia coming to her and begging her for forgiveness. “Mia, you’re chasing shadows. Sean … he has no regard for me. He has not 

forgiven me, and I can assure you, he’d not exert his influence to lift a finger for me!”
