Chapter 50

Just then, Farah Steele walked over, glanced briefly at Grace with unmasked contempt, and said,
“Honestly, Claire, why are you talking to her?” Before Claire could reply, she went on, “This woman has
been to jail! She’s taken a woman’s life!”

“Farah, we’re all colleagues. And there are privacy issues to

consider-”

“It isn’t ‘private’ if it’s all over the internet.”

She had a point.

“Why are you defending her, Claire? Grace went to jail for drunken, reckless driving. She killed
someone!”

“That’s not fair, Farrah. People make mistakes, accidents happen

Claire had barely started speaking when Farah interrupted her

again. “But the person she killed was Jennifer Atkinson. Do you know who Jennifer Atkinson is? She’s
Lily Atkinson’s sister! It was no coincidence that Lily was here. I was wondering why Lily wanted so
many of our colleagues to look for a non-existent ring. But it’s all clear now! It was because she was
targeting Grace and we all got dragged into it.”

“But didn’t she also apologize and compensate us?” Claire asked. “Farrah, that compensation is half of
what many of us make in a

year.”



Farah sputtered. Her mouth turned down and her eyes narrowed. She was clearly not pleased with
Claire standing up for Grace.

“I knew you would take her side,” she said. “When I told the

others…”

So it was obvious who had been the one to leak the news of

Grace’s imprisonment. No surprise there. Farrah had never made

any false show of being friendly with Grace.

“…I knew it…when I saw her on the roadside talking to Sean and

then Lily. I was like, wait for a second, this isn’t right!? I knew

things were not as they seemed.” She stared at Grace. “I don’t

know how you live with yourself. You should’ve stayed in prison. It’s what you deserve.”

“Now, hold up,” Claire argued. “That’s enough of that talk. This

is none of your business, Farrah. You can’t go harassing another

employee-”

“Harassing!?! She is a killer. Honestly, Claire, what, did your receive a bribe from Grace or something?
Why are you standing up for her?”

Farah mocked her, but Claire also took a step back. She had, indeed, accepted the jacket and payment
Grace received from



Lily.

Grace opened her mouth, ready to defend herself, but someone

beat her to it.

“All right, what else is there to say?” A man’s voice interrupted. “The car crash was an accident. Grace
didn’t intend to do it.”

Grace saw that it was Chase defending her.

However, that only angered Farah more. Farrah was interested in Chase, but he wouldn’t give her the
time of day. The fact that he was defending Grace instead of taking Farah’s side, was only instigating
the situation.

Farrah’s expression turned uglier. “Chase, what’s the point of

standing up for Grace? Do you think she’ll like you? Do you

know that her ex-boyfriend is Sean Stevens? He’s the heir to the

Stevens Corporation!”

Chase’s face abruptly flushed red.

Farah continued her vicious assault. “But when Sean saw Grace

as a sanitation worker that day, it probably spoiled his appetite.” She clicked her tongue and continued,
“You know, I’m thinking he’ll probably vomit in disgust when he thinks about dating Grace in the past.”

Grace looked at Farah coldly. “Are you done talking?”



“What? Are you trying to deny the fact that you were in jail or are you saying that you aren’t Sean’s ex-
girlfriend?” Farah retorted proudly. “Why are you pretending to be so innocent when you’ve been to
jail?”

“I’m not pretending about anything. So what if I’ve been to jail? I’ve paid my taxes and I’ve served my
time. And I don’t think it’s any of your business who I dated before. Furthermore, I may be a sanitation
worker now but does that mean I can’t have dated anyone before? Or is the role of a sanitation worker
only to make someone throw up their dinner? Just what are you saying about

sanitation workers?”

Farrah recoiled and eyed the room warily. She’d offended many of the people here by bringing the
sanitation aspect into things.

Grace spat out a succession of questions. “Farah Steele, just

because you’re an established employee in a management position, that does not mean you can look
down on my

profession.”

Farah’s words stuck in her throat as some of the other workers

nodded in solidarity.

There were so many sanitation workers in the center and now they all looked angry.

“I get it,” Grace said. “You have a slightly exalted position and you want to abuse that power and look
down on everybody beneath

you. Whatever. It’s fine for you to insult me, but take a good look



at the people in this room, Farrah. They’re honest and hardworking and they do what they do to
support their families. Why don’t you think about that before insulting them or their professions?”

A smattering of agreement sounded behind her and Grace smirked. “You bullies, you’re all the same…”

Farah glared at her hatefully. “Grace, you… wait and see!”

Grace just nodded. “Yeah. Uh-huh. I’ll be here. You know where to

find me.”

Grace exhaled a deep breath and turned to leave, but Chase

+

shouted after her, “Wait… Grace, I… I don’t think you’re the person

Farah says you are.”

She stopped walking for a moment but she did not respond to him.

and resumed walking away.

She was very grateful that Chase was willing to stand up for her just now, but that didn’t mean
anything. He knew who she was

and what shadows were in her past. Even if he’d liked her before,

those feelings would change now.

They always did.
