My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict (Grace) novel Chapter 877

Chapter 877 

It was unknown whether the police 

would reinvestigate the case. 

“I’ll check with the police station again 

later,” said Lawyer Carter as he looked at Grace’s dark eye circles. “You’ve been working hard on the case. You probably 

haven’t been sleeping well. I’ll give you the day off. Why don’t you go home and have a good rest?” 

Grace knew Lawyer Carter had 

misunderstood her. While it was true that 

she had not been sleeping well, it was 

because of Jason. 

It turned out that it was easier to get along with Lawyer Carter than she 

thought, which was a relief to her. 

Now that she had a day off, Grace planned to visit Kyla and Nelson. After all, it would not be long before they left Emerald City.

She did not expect to see a luxury car pulling up in front of the entrance when 

she reached the ground floor of her 

office building. A woman dressed in a 

high-end designer outfit stepped out of 

the car. 

It was Stella! 

Grace was somewhat surprised. Stella 

had now seen her and walked up to her. “Grace, what a coincidence! I was just 

about to come looking for you and now 

I’ve run into you!” 

Stella found out about her cousin 

working here from Curtis Row, the man 

she saw at the club last time. Grace was 

now working as a paralegal here. 

‘So what if she was once the most 

promising rookie lawyer? Isn’t she just a little assistant now?’ Stella sniggered 

to herself but continued to put on a 

show by pretending to display sisterly 

affection toward Grace. “Have you got 

a minute? I want to talk to you about 

something.” 

“Is there anything we need to talk 

about?” retorted Grace. She and her 

cousin had been at odds since their 

childhood. Besides, she had been 

studying and working in Emerald City since then. You could say that they had 

little interaction with each other, let 

alone the so-called sisterhood. 

“Yes, of course. If you have any business to attend to that might delay your time, I’ll explain it to your firm. I’m sure your firm will not be so unkind as to not give you any time,” Stella said smugly. She 

seemed to think that the firm would 

surely do so if she asked. 

She did not know that this was all thanks 

to Brian. If one day she could not rely on 

Brian anymore, she would be nothing to 

others! 

Grace looked at her cousin’s boastful 

expression and knew that if she did not say yes, she might indeed barge into the firm later on. Therefore, she said, 

“Alright, let’s find a place nearby.” 

With a smile on her face, Stella 

immediately picked out a seemingly upscale cafe nearby and ordered two cups of the most expensive coffee. 

“I know you’ve broken up with Jason, so you probably don’t have much money. It’s my treat today. Brian gave me a black card to spend as I please,” Stella 

said ostentatiously. 

Grace was quite speechless when 

she saw her pretending to enjoy her cappuccino even though she did not like
