Chapter 750 A Blessing in Disguise 1
Grace and Beth exchanged a glance.
Then, in unison, they kicked Marlon away.
"Marlon, you ruined my life and cast an indelible shadow over it. I will never forgive you."
"I've reported you to the police and hired a lawyer. The law will punish your evil deeds."
As for Grace, she couldn't even be bothered to look at Marlon.
"Don't be like Marlon."
For a while, this phrase went viral all over the internet.
Career, love—everything Marlon had was destroyed by his greed and desire for revenge.
Outside the police station.
Beth called out to Grace.
"Grace, thank you!"
This was what Beth had wanted to say to her from the moment she woke up.
Now, she finally said it.
"I misjudged people, and I endured all this pain," Beth said with a bitter smile.
"To be honest," Grace looked at her, "you're not a very emotional person. Although you're a bit domineering, you're sensible. I'm curious, why couldn't you see through Marlon?"
"At that time, his misdeeds had already been exposed. How could you believe him and even agree to marry him?"
Beth smiled, tears streaming down her face.
But soon, she wiped them away.
"Maybe I was too starved for love."
"When I was young, my dad passed away, and my mom remarried. But my stepfather was a gambling addict with a bad temper, lazy, and violent. I endured all that, but he was also abusive. Whenever life didn't go his way, he would go crazy and beat my mom and me."
"As a child, my injuries never healed. Old wounds hadn't healed before new ones appeared. My mom had it worse; she was beaten until her bones broke, her ears rang, and several times she was sent to the hospital, almost not making it."
"So, while other kids had happy, loving families, my childhood was filled with fear."
"I feared my stepfather's beatings, not knowing if I'd survive the next day; I feared my mom leaving me at any moment, making me an orphan."
"When I grew up, I desperately tried to escape that family. I wanted to take my mom with me, but she refused to leave. I was always angry at her, angry at her for enduring, for not fighting back, for her weakness, which led to my unhappy childhood."
"Because of that, I desperately craved love, especially a perfect marriage and a happy family."
"After entering the entertainment industry, to be honest, I did trade myself for resources, but those men only saw me as a commodity, to be used and discarded. In their eyes, I was just merchandise on a shelf, with no dignity or shame."
"Only Marlon treated me well, respected me, pampered me, and loved me. Although I knew he was after my fame and resources, I was too starved for love. When he said he wanted to marry me, I felt my childhood dream was finally coming true, so..."
Grace turned around, quickly wiping the tears from the corners of her eyes.
She remembered that saying: A happy childhood can heal a lifetime; an unhappy childhood takes a lifetime to heal.
Beth was, and so was Grace.
Turning around, Grace suddenly stepped forward and hugged Beth, who had experienced such tragedy.
When Grace let go, her lips parted, and every word she spoke was sincere.
"You've endured the worst. A man like him isn't worth your sadness or guilt. Beth, you're young. I hope you can bravely move forward towards the light."
Beth smiled and replied, "Thank you for your blessing. I sincerely hope you can return to the entertainment industry and reach the peak of your career again."
"Thank you!"
Grace walked a bit further.
Quentin's car pulled up.
As soon as Grace got in, she excitedly hugged Quentin.
"Quentin, I'm so happy. This matter is finally over, and Marlon will get what he deserves."
"It's not completely over yet," Quentin said.
"What do you mean?"
"I've informed Willie to hire the best lawyer to defend Beth. Marlon will never get out of prison."
"I'm so glad. Marlon should rot in prison, decay and spoil!"
Grace felt extremely satisfied.
Dealing with such a villain shouldn't be soft-hearted.
"Yes, you're happy. So shouldn't I, the one working behind the scenes, get some reward?"
"Of course, Quentin. What do you want?"
"I want you to be happy!" he replied.
Her heart was instantly filled with warmth. Grace leaned into his arms, holding him tightly.
"I really want to spend my life with you, forgetting all the unpleasantness."
"What unpleasantness?" Quentin asked instinctively.
Grace shook her head, "Nothing, I was just saying."
That day, Marlon's truth was revealed.
As soon as the live broadcast ended, Grace and Beth became big news.
It was no exaggeration to say that almost all the trending topics were about Grace and Beth.
The scene was truly shocking.
People in the entertainment industry were envious to the point of jealousy.
And the capitalists quickly came.
The most direct manifestation was that Linda's phone kept ringing, and she kept answering calls.
All the calls were invitations.
Linda talked until her mouth was dry.
It wasn't until eleven at night that the calls slowed down, giving Linda a break.
Linda drank two bottles of water frantically, took a few deep breaths, and called Grace.
"Grace, what are you doing?"
"I just finished showering, put on a face mask, and was about to sleep."
Hearing this, Linda, who was exhausted, instantly got angry.
"You really don't care about me. I've been answering calls until my mouth is dry, and you're there with a face mask on."
Grace was silent.
If Linda knew Quentin was beside her, feeding her fruit, she would probably go ballistic.
Grace immediately comforted her.
"Linda, think of it this way. I know you're in pain, but also happy."
"Besides, with all these scripts coming in, when I make money, you'll get a commission. And I'm the one who has to go on camera and act."
Linda immediately calmed down.
"You're right. I won't argue with money."
"Exactly, Linda. So let's work hard together in the future."
