Lily apologized with a sincere expression. She looked as if she
was on the verge of collapse and gained a lot of sympathies.
After a pause, she continued, Ill go to the Sanitation Service Center to express my sincere gratitude to the sanitation workers who helped me. Ill also donate all of my income from this years work and use it to set up a breakfast stall. The sanitation workers
can get a free breakfast every day with their work pass.
Once the video of the press conference was uploaded on the Internet, many people felt that Lilys crisis had been handled well. Even the fans kept posting endlessly to help Lily regain her previous darling image.
As a result, many people felt that this had indeed just been a misunderstanding.
Lilys gratitude towards the Sanitation Service Center was also very impressive and even attracted many reporters.
The director of the Sanitation Service Center arranged for the sanitation workers who had looked for the ring that day to shake hands with Lily one by one and to receive gifts that she had provisioned for each of them.
Each worker had to line up for a press release in which theyd
accept Lilys gift of gratitude.
Claire took the gift and was very happy. This gift, in addition to
the check for ten thousand dollars, had come with a down jacket.
Looking at the label, she saw that it was a designer brand. She
contemplated whether shed keep it or sell it online for more
money.
Claire came back into the center and was surprised to see Grace. Hey, I was wondering where you were. Hurry and go outside. Everyone is lined up from the third shift. Lily is handing out gifts and cash compensation for her mistake. You worked harder than
anyone. Go get whats due to you.
Claire nudged Grace, who was sitting alone on the chair.
I dont need it. Grace smiled.
This down jacket costs more than a thousand dollars. And the check is for 10k. Are you crazy?!? Why dont you want them? Claire couldnt mask her disbelief.
Grace shook her head.
Im not sure what youre thinking right now. Just take the things and leave, youll be fine, Claire said. She directly pulled Grace up and walked towards the door.
Theres no need, Claire. Theres really no need, Grace said.
However, before she could release herself from Claires grasp, her entire person had already been pulled outside.

Theres still one left who didnt receive the gift! Claire called out.
All of a sudden, the cameras and the reporters were aimed at Grace.
Grace automatically used her hands to block them.
Those cameras made her think of the time when she had been outside the court being swarmed and photographed by the media. The reporters had all been holding microphones and persistently wanting to interview her.
And Sean at that time Graces eyes spotted Sean standing outside the frame of the cameras.
Three years ago, in prison, that man had stood there coldly.
When Lily had said that she was going to impair her hand, he had looked down at her fingers, which were already stained with spots of blood, and said good in a frosty tone.
Three years later at the country club, when his bastard friend Gregory had accosted her, hed also stood by.
There were some things that, even after three years, remained the
same.
Grace put down her hand and her heart seemed to calm down a
little.
Its okay. Youre okay.
She breathed deeply.
Lily was the one in the crossfire today, not her.
This media circus wasnt out to condemn Grace.
Sean stepped into her line of vision. He wouldnt break her gaze.
