Chapter 245

This was the first time Mary had seen North’s face after his injury. She’d seen him once before, in front of the police station, but his face had been bandaged. Now, she saw clearly. The scar on his cheek was long, with significant keloid formation ugly, raised red flesh. For someone in North’s line of work, in entertainment, this was devastating. The injury looked deep; it wouldn’t be easy to repair.

The office was silent. North looked dejected. He pulled out a velvet box, opened it on the desk. Mary saw a set of pink diamond jewelry: necklace, bracelet, ring.

North’s voice was hoarse. “I know you gave the diamond ring I gave you to Alice as an apology. So I bought you a new set as compensation.”

Mary glanced at the jewelry, finding it ridiculous. She said coldly, “I don’t need these things.”

“Mary, Fourth Brother knows he was harsh on you then. But I was tricked by Alice. If I’d known the truth earlier, I wouldn’t have done that.”

Mary remembered her tragic past life. Honestly, she didn’t believe him.

North watched Mary’s

Mary’s expression, his heart sinking. Just as Big Brother said.

Mary sat in her chair.“Are you finished? Take the jewelry back. I have things to do.” Her expression was cold, unmoved.

North couldn’t help but say, “Mary, you see how my face is now. Even if you drop the charges, my career is ruined. Do you really have the heart to let me go to jail?”

“If you’re going to say that, then Alice should be the one going to jail. She’s the one who did it isn’t she?”

North fell silent.“She deleted the video, and I can’t find any proof that she instigated it.”

“Then you should be going after Alice, not me.”

Mary’s gaze was sarcastic.“Are you thinking that because my face is ruined, I should just drop the charges, and take all the blame?”

“That’s not what I meant.”

“I must have misunderstood you. Okay, you can go.”

Mary didn’t give him a chance to speak. She was busy.
