MainNovelThe smugness on Jodie's face was unbearable. That arrogant confidence that someone was backing her up
pissed Grace off to no end.
She was still on edge, barely holding it together. After hearing Jodie's words, she picked up a chair and threw it at
Jodie.
It had happened so fast that the police officers couldn't even stop her.
Jodie couldn't dodge in time, and a bloody cut appeared on her forehead immediately. She touched the place
that was bleeding in shock and almost fainted. "Grace, how dare you?"
The police officer also hurriedly stopped Grace. "Ms. Lambert, we'll lock you up if you keep acting like this!"
It wasn't the first tfor Jodie to be hurt by Grace. Her gaze was filled with venom as she pressed her lips into a
thin line.
"Fine! Is this how you want to play? Wait and see, I'll personally send you behind bars!" Jodie yelled.
She quickly took out her phone and called Ethan.
Like before, Ethan immediately answered the phone and heard Jodie's cries. "Uncle Ethan, I'm injured. There's a
lot of blood coming out of my forehead."
Ethan was calm as he asked, "Where are you?"
"The spolice station as last time. Grace is also here. She's the one who hit me."
Ethan paused, and his Adam's bobbed rolled a few times before he asked, "She's there too?"
Jodie's cries beclouder as she stared at her bloodstained palm. "Yes. She's here too. She killed someone."
Just as she finished her words, the call hung up.
Jodie felt very smug. It seemed like Ethan was very worried about her.

Although her wounds were still hurting, she turned to Grace. She couldn't help but smile as she thought about
how Grace would get into trouble.
"Uncle Ethan will be here soon. Grace, it looks like you haven't learned your lesson after what happened
yesterday. I've told you before, Uncle Ethan will definitely help me."
Grace didn't say a word as she lowered her gaze, her mind filled with many thoughts.
Ethan cearlier than expected, with Tim following behind him.
Everything was exactly the sas last time. When Jodie saw Ethan she quickly ran toward him. "Uncle Ethan
look at my forehead. Look at Grace too. Her face to covered with blood. She really did kill someone!"
Grace stood quietly under the light. Her expression was cold, and she only glanced over after hearing Jodie's
words. The distant look on her face was familiar, just like it always had been.
Ethan's hands, which were placed on his wheelchair, slowly clenched as his expression darkened.
Jodie noticed it and quickly asked tentatively, "Uncle Ethan, what happened? Are you sick?"
She then pulled on Tim's sleeves. "Tim, Uncle Ethan's not feeling well. Maybe we should send him to the hospital
first."
She had never seen Ethan look so grim.
However, Ethan just softly asked, "What happened this time?"
It was surprising that they ended up at the police station twice within the span of a day.
Jodie's tears started to stream down her cheeks. "I just said a few nasty words, and Grace hitwith a chair."
Ethan looked at Grace, his tone even more indifferent. "Tell me."
Grace didn't look at him and turned her gaze away. "I have nothing to say to you, Mr. Henderson."
Ethan's fingers suddenly curled up, and he pressed his lips into a thin line. After a few seconds, he asked, "What
do you mean by... having nothing to say to me?"
He dragged out his words as if he had difficulty in saying them.

coldly.
This was the first tEthan couldn't retort.

When she saw Jodie act like this, Grace couldn't help but find it amusing. She
even let out a laugh. "What a fine lady you've raised, Mr. Henderson."
