My gorgeous wife is an ex-convict (Grace) novel Chapter 819

Chapter 819 

“I was framed for stealing money in 

class, and everyone thought I stole it. The teacher kept lecturing me, wanting 

me to admit it. My parents even took the initiative to say that they were willing to 

pay for the money I stole when I really 

didn’t!” 

Lina said while sniffling, her nose 

suddenly feeling somewhat sore. “I 

don’t know if you can understand that helplessness. It’s like the whole world has betrayed you, so you become helpless 

and alone. It was useless no matter how 

much I tried to explain and defend my 

innocence. At that time… Grace believed 

in me and even helped me find out who 

stole the money.” 

With that, Lina laughed again. “I decided 

then to make Grace my best friend 

forever!” 

Hadwin Stephenson pursed his thin lips. ‘It was just… such a small thing that made Lina willing to risk everything for 

Grace?’ 

It was not that he could not understand 

the feeling she spoke of. 

Since he was an illegitimate child, he 

had faced so many treacherous actions 

since he was little. 

Even though he was set up and wronged many times, he would bear it. He 

understood that rather than clearing his name, it was better to save his strength and strike with one blow when he was 

strong enough. 

Just like how he chose the best timing to become the patriarch of the Stephenson family in one fell swoop while his aunt and her two sons could only live under 

his nose. 

“Therefore, you chose to believe Grace when she was imprisoned?” asked Hadwin Stephenson. 

“Yeah, I believe in Grace. If she said it 

wasn’t her, it certainly wasn’t her! Isn’t 

that what real friends are supposed to 

be like?” said Lina. 

Hadwin Stephenson was silent. ‘This 

silly woman. Does she know how many people in this world have been betrayed by their best friend?’ 

Just because Grace had helped her in the past, she was willing to make unconditional sacrifices for Grace. This 

made her seem like a fool to him. 

However… it was because of her ‘silliness’ 

that made him, who was familiar with people’s dark side, that he could not help being sentimentally attached to her. 

It was as if staying by her side, he could 

really relax and ignore the conspiracies and power struggle. 

Sighing, Hadwin Stephenson raised his hand and touched Lina’s bangs. “Don’t be so impulsive as today. You were lucky today. Jason only let you go for Grace’s 

sake.” 

Lina hesitated for a moment before nodding. She knew that she had acted impulsively today. 

However, did she regret it? Not really. She was not afraid that Jason would lay 

a hand on her, but she was a little afraid 

that Jason would do something to her 

parents. 

“If you’re angry, furious, and want to deal with someone, tell me. I don’t mind being a sword in your hand that can 

help you deal with people. Just don’t be reckless, all right?” Hadwin Stephenson
