Chapter 250: Chapter 250: Living in Your Heart (Part 14)

"No trouble." Stellan said, "I’ll talk to Jacob Green face to face."

"Stellan, you’re the best to me." Grace choked up, "In this world, apart from you, no one treats me so well. I did something that hurt you. I’m worse than a beast. Don’t worry, I will definitely repay you properly."

"Hmm, I believe it." There was a coldness in Stellan’s eyes.

Although Grace heard her say this, she still felt something was wrong with her, like a soulless puppet.

But then she thought, she has gone through such a blow, surely her mood is depressed, this is all normal.

"I’ll be released soon, right?"

"Of course." Stellan said, "As long as you don’t forget what you promised me."

"How could I forget, I definitely won’t forget."

"Then I’ll go find Jacob Green now."

After leaving here, Stellan went to Blossom Haven.

She waited a long time before finally meeting Jacob Green.

Looking at him, Stellan thought of the past.

At that time, their families were still neighbors, and she liked the good-tempered John Green, not fond of the type like Jacob Green.

But in order to see John Green often, she would always run to the Green Family.

Gradually, they all grew up, and she knew Jacob Green liked her.

But she never took it seriously.

She thought it was natural for him to like her.

She felt she was advantageous in every aspect.

But later she realized, nothing is taken for granted.

He could like you, or he could like someone else.

It’s that simple.

"Waited so long just to see me, what’s the matter?"

"Jacob Green." Stellan’s voice was weak, "Thank you for once liking me."

"..." Jacob Green frowned; the last thing he wanted to talk about was the past with Stellan, which made him feel blind.

"The reason I say this is that maybe I won’t have the opportunity to say it in the future. You were really good, people are like this, they don’t know how to cherish what they have until they lose it and realize what they missed."

"I’m not in the mood to talk about this, just get to the point."

"Release Grace Hughes."

"What?"

"If she’s sentenced, at most ten years, ten years later she’ll still come back alive." She added, "And I don’t want her alive because she owes me a life, and I want it back."

The meaning of owing a life is...

"You remembered?"

"Yes." She replied, "I remembered, only pity is, I remembered a bit late. In the past life, just as I realized she had ulterior motives towards me, and she desired you; after I was stabbed and my consciousness was about to completely disappear, I heard the perpetrator calling her... life is really absurd and ridiculous. It turns out Lucy Eaton wasn’t only your wife in this life but also in the past. You both remembered long ago, didn’t you?"

"Indeed, if you want to withdraw the lawsuit and release her, it’s up to you, she can be out tomorrow." Jacob Green said leisurely, "As for the grudge between you and her, handle it yourself." 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

She lowered her eyes, "Alright..."

"Go home."

"Jacob Green." Stellan smiled bitterly, "Though there are some words you don’t want to hear, I still have to say them. I truly liked you, though it’s too late."

She turned and left.

...

The next day, Grace Hughes was released as Jacob Green had said.

She returned the money to Stellan.

Stellan transferred this money back into her father’s account and then went to visit Benjamin Quinn.

Knowing the money was back, Benjamin Quinn breathed a sigh of relief, but was very puzzled why she let Grace Hughes off.

Stellan just told him, "I won’t let her off, Dad, I’m sorry."

"Why apologize?"

"If it weren’t for me, Grace Hughes wouldn’t have the chance to frame you."

"Your brother told me when he visited that she’s not the mastermind, said it’s Jacob Green..."

"She is." Stellan said with certainty, "This has nothing to do with Jacob Green, retrieving the money was with his covert assistance, Dad, don’t listen to my brother’s nonsense, he knows nothing."

The reason for saying this is because Stellan didn’t want her father to hold any grudges against Jacob Green since she knows very well, Jacob Green could easily deal with her father.

She hoped her father could live peacefully, nothing more.

After leaving here, she called Grace Hughes, saying she wanted to dine with her at a certain restaurant in the evening, and let her fulfill her promise.

Grace agreed.

At seven in the evening, the two met.

Grace was very surprised to see her.

Because Stellan was dressed particularly beautifully, completely different from when she visited her the day before.

"Stellan, you look really beautiful tonight."

She smiled, "You don’t look bad either, order whatever you want to eat."

The tone was no different from usual, Grace was secretly delighted, feeling the old Stellan was back.

She knew, as long as she sincerely admitted her mistake, Stellan would surely forgive her.

They have known each other for so long and have been like sisters, how could one incident break them apart?

What she didn’t realize was, it was Stellan’s sisterly feelings towards her that, after everything was exposed, made her find Grace both hateful and terrifying.

Grace ordered a lot of her favorite dishes, then remembered what Stellan liked and added them.

"Grace, do you believe in past lives?"

"I don’t believe." She blurted out, "How can people have past lives?"

"They do." She poured a cup of tea, drinking as she spoke, "I do, you do, so does Lucy Eaton, and Jacob Green."

"How do you know there are?"

"Because I remembered, Lucy Eaton and Jacob Green remembered long ago."

Grace was half convinced, "Really? That sounds so mysterious?"

"Of course it’s true, it’s just that you haven’t remembered yet." Stellan smiled, "Lucy Eaton and Jacob Green were husband and wife in their last life, it seems destined, what is yours is yours, what isn’t won’t be yours no matter how hard you try to take it."

"Did they live happily ever after?"

"I don’t know." She said, "Probably not, otherwise why would there be this life again."

Grace laughed happily, "So, Lucy Eaton was not a good match for Jacob Green, otherwise how could she have died so early in this life? That’s heaven’s arrangement, Stellan, think about who your mom died because of, if Lucy Eaton were to grow old with Jacob Green in this life, wouldn’t that be irritating?"

"Exactly, she deserved her fate of dying, without my doing anything, she died, it really saved trouble. It’s just that without her, Jacob Green would still have other women, after all he’s only twenty-five this year, isn’t he?"

"So what if there are other women?" Grace didn’t care, "Just like Lucy Eaton, marrying Jacob Green is one thing, being able to hold on is another."
