Chapter 244 I Have to Visit Him
Yacob walked toward the bed. When he saw the man's back that was covered in blood stains, he had the urge to touch it.
As soon as he extended his hand, Elias warned grimly, "If you dare touch it, I'll cut off your hand!"
Yacob immediately retracted his hand and caught sight of Elias opening his eyes. He looked like a beast whose sleep had been interrupted with displeasure written all over his face.
Then, Yacob coughed and said, "I'll be heading out now. Grace is in the police station and under investigation. I suppose she'll be staying in the police station for a while. After all, she committed assault."
Then, he observed Elias' expression for a moment before continuing, "Mr. Winters, it depends on whether you press charges against her. If you do, she'll stay in the police station. If you don't, she'll be released."
He had a feeling that Elias would go easy on the nasty woman for Kennedy's sake.
Elias treasured his friends, but they couldn't cross the line. Otherwise, they would be doomed.
Amanda and Aiden were the most important people to Elias. He would never allow anyone to harm them.
After a moment of silence, Elias said solemnly, "Release the woman and send her somewhere else. I don't want to see her again."
"Alright, I see you've decided to go easy on her." Yacob knew Elias would make such a decision.
Grace should be grateful that she had a wonderful brother. Otherwise, Elias would've destroyed her long ago. However, she was too naive to think that Elias had been conniving at her wrongdoings because he loved her.
…
The next morning, Yacob went to the police station and bailed Grace out, ready to send her away from Imperia.
At present, Grace was mentally unstable. She believed that everyone was trying to harm her. When the police questioned her, she almost got into a fight with them.
"This is the last time Mr. Winters lets you off, so you'd better behave yourself from now on. You can't blame anyone for what happened to you. It's all your fault," Yacob said impassively.
Grace was walking dazedly behind him when she heard that, and she flared up instantly.
"Shut up! What right do you have to lecture me? When Elias was deeply in love with me back then, he would do anything to please me. At that time, you had to obey my orders. Even though I've lost his favor, it doesn't mean you can mock me. You don't have the right to do that. You're just Elias' lackey!"
Yacob frowned, thinking Grace was mad and would target anyone.
"Mr. Winters has never been in love with you. I've been meaning to tell you that Mr. Winters has repeatedly let you off for your brother's sake. You could've relied on your brother and lived the rest of your life without any worries. However, you stubbornly wanted to marry Mr. Winters. To be honest, you're too greedy. You crave things you can never get."
Yacob had been putting up with her for a long time. In the past, Grace believed that Elias doted on her, so she was arrogant and treated Yacob harshly.
Since the woman had fallen from grace, he could finally vent his anger.
Devastated by his words, Grace snapped. "That's impossible! Elias loves me, and it's not just because of my brother. Whenever he looks at me, I can tell there's love behind his gaze!"
She felt Elias had nothing but love whenever he looked at her, so it was impossible that it was all because of her brother.
Yacob decided to deal another blow to her. "Come on. Every woman thinks Mr. Winters looks lovingly at them. It's all in your mind."
"Stop spouting nonsense! That's impossible!"
"That's enough. Let's go right now. I don't want to waste any more time on you."
Yacob stuffed the woman into the car and found the entire conversation laughable. It was ridiculous that he even tried to argue with a lunatic.
