Suddenly, a harsh sound of brakes resonated through the air.
Grace Ziegler finally reacted.
Her face was full of astonishment, her eyes glistened with tears while fear and panic filled them.
It took a moment before Grace realized that the car belonged to Chief Daniel Marshall, and the driver was Mr. Howard.
Immediately, Grace put on a pathetic, pitiful act.
The dried tear tracks on her cheeks were soon soaked again by a fresh outpour of tears.
Grace bowed deeply, apologizing repeatedly.
Simon Howard didn't react or say a word, just glared at Grace malevolently.
Of all the people, it had to be this woman. Seeing her felt like bad luck.
The woman was jaywalking. She was asking for trouble. Simon Howard didn't want to deal with her, but she lingered there, refusing to leave.
Initially upset, Daniel Marshall was moved to see Grace in such a distressed state, crying her heart out and nearly being hit by a car.
