My gorgeous wife is an ex-convict (Grace) novel Chapter 60

Chapter 60 

“Farah Steele, I don’t want anyone to be hostile to my colleagues like this. And what you’ve done by rallying other coworkers to isolate and bully another employee…it is harassment.” 

“W-what?” 

“Grace indeed served time in jail, but she has paid her price to 

society, as deemed by our judicial system and the judges and 

juries upholding it. You do not have the right to continue to judge 

her or to invade her privacy by airing her past for others, with the 

expressed intent of it causing unrest in the workplace.” 

Farrah paled. 

“Furthermore,” the director said. “It doesn’t mean that we should 

look at her with different eyes and not give her a chance to live. 

Since you feel that you can’t work with Grace Cummins, I think 

you should quit your job now.” 

She… she was an established member of the staff! She was being 

dismissed just like that?! Farah couldn’t believe it. She’d done 

nothing wrong! She’d told the truth! 

“Farrah, say something,” the voice next to her urged. 

Farah looked around. When she saw Grace, she suddenly felt a 

rush of resentment. She stepped forward and said to Grace, “It’s 

you. It’s all your fault. If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have been dismissed by the director! You should be the one who is made to 

leave!” 

Everyone was shocked. The person who was being dismissed 

was… Farah?! 

“Farrah, are you kidding?” 

“How is this possible!” 

Farah glared at Grace, making no effort to hide her resentment. 

She drew back her hand to slap Grace and her arm was caught. 

Grace ducked instinctively. She was no stranger to violence. But 

that didn’t mean she had to stand there and absorb it. 

“Just stop already. The director wants you to go. What does 

it have to do with Grace? Can Grace control the director’s 

decision?” 

Grace raised her head and saw that it was Chase. 

When the other people in the fleet saw this, they also went 

forward and shook their heads at Farah or dispersed so as not to 

get caught up in the drama surrounding her. 

The farce ended just like that. Farrah stalked off. 

Grace stared at her as she left. 

“Thank you,” Grace said to Chase. 

“It was nothing. If it weren’t for me, you wouldn’t have 

been targeted by Farah in the first place,” Chase said with 

embarrassment. 

Just as Grace was about to turn around and leave, Chase 

suddenly said, “Is your younger brother really your blood-related 

brother?” 

Grace looked at him in surprise. 

Chase hesitated and said, “I just don’t think… you’re not like siblings.” When he saw her standing with his brother, he felt like 

they were a couple. 

“He’s not my sibling, but to me, he is my family,” Grace said. 

Family? Chase didn’t quite believe it. Even if she was treating that 

man as family, was that man… merely treating her as a family as
