Filthy rich werewolves by Taylor Caine

Chapter 168

They were still perplexed by the material evidence and the unanimous testimony provided by the

witnesses to this very day.

"How dare those people treat you that way! They only criticize others from a moral high ground without

knowing anything at all," Lina said indignantly. “Stupid humans.”

Lina blanched. “No offense.”

“None taken.” Grace calmly replied, "It means nothing to me."

Lina recalled all the pain in her friend's body and could not help sighing. When she first welcomed

Grace after she had left prison, she’d noticed all the wounds on her. There were both fresh and old Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.

ones. Although Grace has never told her about what she endured in prison, she could probably guess.

"Is Jay really Jason?" Lina asked, changing the topic of conversation.

"Yes." Grace nodded.

"But... if he's Alpha Jason Reed, why would he pretend to be a homeless person and stay with you in

the rental apartment for so long?" she asked. “That doesn’t even make sense. I can't seem to figure out

this point. Does Jason have some peculiar interests?"

"It's nothing but a game to him," Grace replied rather bitterly. "Jason, who treated me so well, warmed

my hands, waited by the door for me, and quietly listened to my woes, was nothing more than an

illusion he created for a game.” How absurd, and yet, how real!

"A game?" Lina was perplexed.

"Yes. Those rich people are probably bored by their lives and wanted to play a game to kill time," Grace

replied softly. For someone as powerful as Jason, with every wolf and lower alpha on this coast

kowtowing to him, there probably was some novelty in being someone else.

How quickly that faded though.

Lina was momentarily unsure of how to comfort her friend. "I know you hate and fear deception the

most. Jason undoubtedly dealt you a heavy blow."

Grace raised her head and gave Lina a faint smile. "I'm fine, don't worry. Besides, I don't have a

relationship with him anymore. His game is over. Anyway, I didn't lose much. I've just returned to living

by myself."

But her smile gave Lina an urge to cry. "Then I'll move in and live with you."

"You don't have to, Lina. I don't want you to fight with your family or your pack over me again," Grace

said. "I know you're nice to me but I'm sure you wouldn't want me to feel guilt over you whenever we

spend time together. I already owe you enough..."

"Don't say anything about owing. We're best friends! When someone lost money in class, you were the

only one who believed me and helped me to catch the thief. Grace, you believed me then and helped

me. Now, I believe you and I'll help you too!" Lina exclaimed. “Besties for life!”

"Thank you," Grace muttered.

"That's right, now, what are your plans for the future?" Lina asked.

"What else can I do? I'll go back to work at the Sanitation Service Center," Grace replied.

"But the news of you being surrounded at the hospital entrance has already been uploaded to the

internet. By now the Sanitation Service Center must know all about the incident from three years ago.

How will your colleagues treat you...?" Lina asked worriedly.
