Five Years Wasted Now They Beg Her Back novel Chapter 484

Grace hadn't expected the DA's office to get involved so quickly.

She looked at Serena, fighting the urge to beat her to a pulp. “Serena, what is it that you really want?”

“Mrs. Clarke, I already told you, this is a police investigation. What does it have to do with me?” Serena laughed gleefully. “But you'd better hurry over, Mrs. Clarke. If you're late, you might have to schedule a prison visit.”

“You just wait.”

Grace threw the words at her and turned to leave.

As Grace's figure disappeared through the restaurant entrance, Serena finally burst out laughing.

“Hahahaha…”

The young man who had been sitting by silently now cautiously leaned in. “Serena, so… what's the next step?”

Her voice was soft and calm.

“The police… they called me.” Ivy stood up and picked up her bag from beside her. “They told me to come in for questioning.”

“Ivy, don't be afraid.”

Grace went over and hugged her. “I've already found the best lawyer, and Damien is waiting there. We'll get to the bottom of this. No one can frame you for something you didn't do.”

Ivy let Grace hold her, her body stiff.

After a long moment, she gently pushed Grace away.
