Chapter 662
Who was Grace? She had been to prison!
In a small town like this, people had a natural disdain for ex-convicts. Some would criticize Grace, while some thought that Grace should not be here keeping vigil at all. She was a disgrace to the Lu family, so they should kick her out!
Every time the Lu family members heard something like that,
they were so afraid that these words would anger Jason. If that
happened, he would wipe out the Lu family and they would be too
helpless for tears.
Although Stella was now under Brian’s protection, Brian had never
said that he would protect the Lu family!
On the day of Old Mrs. Lu’s funeral procession, Grace stood. among the crowd while dressed in black. Her eyes were slightly
red as she had obviously been crying again.
Jason wore a black suit. He stood beside Grace and
accompanied her to the funeral home.
The Lu family booked a hall in the funeral home so that they could accommodate those coming to the service.
Grace stood silently during the memorial service. Her tears could
not help streaming down her face as First Uncle told the story of her grandmother’s life.
Those who loved her had left her one by one.
Her mother left her, and so had her grandmother. Who would leave her next?
She felt a surge of fear in her heart.
Just then, a hand held out a handkerchief to her, gently wiping away her tears.
She stared blankly at the beautiful hand. Its movements were so gentle and cautious as if she was a cherished treasure.
Grace turned her head and looked at Jason who was standing
next to her.
Jason… Would never leave her. He would stay by her side and grow old with her.
When First Uncle’s eulogy was over, the crowd began to move forward one by one to take one last look at Old Mrs. Lu’s body.
However, when Grace was about to go forward, someone suddenly rushed out and pointed at Grace, saying, “You have no right to come forward. You’re a disgrace to the Lu family and ought to stay in the corner! Have you not embarrassed your grandmother enough? Do you want everyone to know that her
granddaughter is an ex-convict?”
Grace’s face paled as she recognized him as one of the men from town who had previously courted her. She was a rookie lawyer fresh out of college and was in the limelight. This man had come to Grandma’s house to propose to her, but she turned him down.
After that, he spread rumors about her being snobbish and so on. When she was imprisoned, he and his family liked to talk
about her to everyone in town, congratulating themselves for not
