?Chapter 1229:


    After some time, Tina managed topose herself. “So you’re telling me you don’t n on avenging Judy?”


    “Why would I bother? Judy spent a long time scheming to get rid of Brenna—she had iting, and I’ve already told the police everything.”


    “But she was your wife! Do you really hate her that much?” Tina’s stomach twisted. Things were veering off in a direction she hadn’t seening. Not only had Denis refused to avenge Judy, but he had gone as far asying bare her wrongdoings to the police.


    A sinking feeling crawled over Tina. If she lingered any longer, Denis might just hand her over to the authorities.


    Without another word, she slipped out the door, not daring to look back.<fn2fcb> For original chapters go to find?novel</fn2fcb>


    Life had taken a pleasant turn for Gracie since she moved in with Elsa. The days were peaceful, and Elsa, aware of Gracie’s past suicide attempts, went out of her way to make sure Gracie feltfortable.


    Evenings brought a new highlight. Ethan often dropped by to check on Gracie, never stayingte, but his visits kept her hopes up for a future with him. If she yed the part of the fragile soul a bit longer and maybe staged another suicide attempt, she believed she might be able to be with Ethan.


    Once Ethan left for the night, Gracie would always ring up Rosie to n their next move.


    Normally, Rosie picked up without dy.


    Tonight, though, when she tried Rosie’s usual number, she found that Rosie’s phone was turned off.


    “Probably just a dead battery,” Gracie muttered and dialed the backup number Rosie had given her, only to find that one had been out of service.


    Confusion creased Gracie’s brow. Something about this felt off.

    She decided to let it go and checked her phone before bed, only to see shocking news—Clive and Judy had died in a shootout.


    Neither Rosie nor Tina was mentioned in the news, but Gracie’s thoughts went straight to Rosie.


    After all, Rosie and Judy had been close, sometimes discussing shady dealings. Gracie had always been on the fringe, but she knew Rosie was clever and often manipted others.


    Could Rosie be involved in this incident?


    Was this why she couldn’t reach Rosie?


    Maybe Rosie had already been arrested by the police?


    Every possibility ran through Gracie’s mind, but she found no reports of any recent arrests.


    The next morning, Gracie tried calling Rosie again.


    This time, Rosie finally answered the call.


    Trying to keep her tone casual, Gracie said, “I tried reaching youst night, but…”


    “I couldn’t get through.”


    Rosie, cautious about potential police questioning of Gracie, remained calm.


    “What’s the matter?” she asked.
