Chapter 869: Chapter 869: She Framed Me Chapter 869: Chapter 869: She Framed Me Grace Ziegler hid in the master bedroom for the entire night.

Amidst the faint morning light, Grace got up.

After changing her clothes and before leaving the room, Grace even pressed her ear against the door to listen for any sounds outside.

There were none.

Her mother probably hadn’t gotten up yet.

Grace quietly opened the door and tiptoed out of the room.

Grace hadn’t walked far when suddenly, Ella Charles, standing on the balcony, called out to her, “Grace, stop hiding.

Today, you pack your things and come back to Binzhou Mining District with me.”
In an instant, Grace stopped pretending, sat down on the sofa, and glared at her mother with annoyance, “I’m not leaving.

I’m going to live in Serene City for the rest of my life, this is my home.

Mom, if you don’t like it here, then you go back by yourself.

I will give you living expenses every month on time.

I will still take care of you in your old age.

If you think it’s too hard, then close down the shop.

I can support you without you having to be so tired.”
After a sleepless night and having watched out for an entire evening, Ella was extremely disappointed to find that Grace was still unrepentant and hurried into the living room.

Seeing Grace, who seemed like a completely different person, Ella truly felt a piercing frustration.

As Grace’s words grew lighter and more frivolous, Ella felt deeply pained, “I don’t want a single cent that hasn’t been earned honestly.

Grace, stop being stubborn, turn back now, it’s not too late.”
“Do you want me to stay in that godforsaken place with you for the rest of my life?

Do you really have my best interests at heart?

How could the comfortable life I’ve worked hard for and achieved on my own be wrong in your eyes?”
Grace shouted loudly, startling Ella, who gaped in shock.

Ella’s face turned pale in waves as she forcefully suppressed the tearing sensation in her heart and sternly rebuked, “Grace Ziegler, ask yourself, are you living up to your conscience?

Are your actions moral?

You work hard?

Can you stop deceiving yourself and others?!

Although I haven’t left the Binzhou Mining District for many years, I’m still aware of the material values in a big city; I’m not a fool.

The car you drive now, the house you live in, the clothes you wear, and the jewelry you adorn, could a young person who’s just graduated from college afford these?!

A year ago, you pinched pennies to repay the fifty thousand you borrowed.

In just one year, could you possibly earn millions with your own abilities?

Are you more impressive than the big bosses?

Grace Jenkins, there’s a limit to how far-fetched a lie can be.

You may fool yourself, but can you deceive me?

Or do you think it’s glorious to depend on a wealthy patron, to be someone’s mistress?

Don’t you feel a shred of shame?

Destroying other people’s marriages, having no moral bottom line, are you not afraid of retribution?

It hasn’t been long since you graduated from university, how come you’ve become so vain?

Enjoying all of this, how can you be so complacent, how can you not feel ashamed?

There’s a straight path in front of you, yet you choose to follow the crooked path, how can you be so cheap?

In this house, I can’t feel a bit of happiness.

I feel very embarrassed, I feel ashamed, my heart aches!

I hope you live a life in the light, not as a shameless, morally bankrupt scoundrel!”
Grace felt both angry and annoyed, her face full of grievance as she glared at her mother.

It must have been Olivia Jenkins, that despicable person, who had investigated her and brought her mother to Serene City to deliberately suppress her.

Grace would never let Olivia Jenkins’s scheme succeed.

Grace defensively argued, “Mom, it’s really not like what you’ve heard.

I haven’t wrecked anyone’s marriage; it’s that despicable woman who wants the divorce.

They’ve had problems in their marriage all along.

That despicable woman is very cunning, she’s the one causing trouble, she’s the one slandering me.”
