Grace helped Zackery sit down, looking worried.
Just now, Zackery hurriedly pushed her away, causing her to lose her balance and fall to the ground, with a large bruise on her arm.
Zackery seemed to not feel any pain, only anxiously looking at
Grace.
“Grace, did you hurt anywhere?”
Grace felt her heart sour and tender.
This fool, even though he was more seriously injured, still worried about her.
“I was fine.”
Zackery finally felt relieved when he saw that Grace was really okay.
“Knock. Knock.”
The doorbell rang, and Grace opened it, only to find that it was the butler of the Walton family.
The butler smiled politely.
“Ms. Parrish, Mr. Walton, Sir Walton asked me to take you home.”
Rylan looked serious, exuding the aura of someone in a

position of authority. With Rylan present, Lina seemed to refrain from uttering any insults.
“Lina, you took Grace to buy some jewelry, you women all like these things, I have something to say to my son.”
Lina felt deeply resentful, but she still swallowed her anger.
Zackery’s concerned gaze also followed her.
Grace gave Zackery a calm look and left with Lina.
Peacock Jewelry, the largest jewelry store in Belhaven.
Lina paced between the counters, occasionally glancing at Grace with a faint, almost imperceptible smirk on her lips.
“Take a look at these jewelry, each one of them was worth a fortune,” Lina casually spoke, but her words were filled with strong sarcasm.
“Our Walton family’s daughter–in–law, her attire was all carefully chosen.”
Grace sensed the hidden meaning in Lina’s words, and she slightly lowered her head without saying a word.
In the corner of the shop, there was a person dressed somewhat strangely, tightly wrapped up, with only a pair of eyes exposed, seemingly sinister with a hint of bloodlust.
“Snap.”
There was a gunshot, and the light bulb exploded.
A few fierce and wicked gangsters suddenly burst into the store, brandishing sharp blades in their hands without saying

The store instantly became chaotic, and the customers panicked and fled in all directions.
Lina was terrified by the sudden turn of events, her face turned pale, her legs went weak, and she couldn’t move for a
moment.
Grace saw the situation and quickly grabbed Lina, fleeing towards the corner. The person wearing strange clothes suddenly pulled out a sharp blade and lunged towards Lina.
His eyes were filled with hatred.
“Your husband blocked my path to wealth, and you can forget about living.”
Things happened too quickly, and the bodyguard was distracted by the thugs outside, momentarily failing to react.
Lina had only one person by her side, Grace.
With a “puff” sound, the blade pierced Grace’s arm.
She winced in pain, but still did not flinch.
The criminal, seeing someone blocking his knife, was both shocked and angry. He was about to attack again when the bodyguard rushed forward and quickly subdued the criminal.
Grace’s face turned extremely pale due to excessive blood loss.
Lina looked at the injured Grace, her eyes filled with shock and guilt. She never expected that this girl, who she had constantly harassed, would risk her life to protect her.

“Child, how are you?” Lina’s voice trembled as she tightly held Grace’s hand.
Grace weakly shook her head.
“Auntie, I was fine.”
The police arrived and quickly subdued all the robbers.
Lina recognized that strange person.
Rylan used to be the head of a subsidiary under his command, but he was expelled from the company due to embezzlement and bribery.
Rylan cherished the old relationship, without completely severing ties. Not only did he not demand compensation, but he also provided a small amount of living expenses.
The heart is never satisfied, and desires are insatiable.
It was difficult for him to transition from luxury to frugality. This person spent all of his money and grew to hate the Walton family. It was then that he planned this murder.
The police took him away after completing the record.
Guilt flashed across Lina’s face as she quickly called for the bodyguard.
“Be careful and take Ms. Parrish to the Walton family’s private hospital.”
The bodyguard’s expression flickered, the Walton family’s private hospital only served the Walton family, it seemed that this young lady had been accepted by Lina.
