Author POV
"You?" Grace was shocked to see none other than
Juleth who had come inside with her head was hung down in shame as she didn't dare to stutter a word knowing that her truth has been revealed. 
"Juleth Blackwood, will you please give a brief explanation? Why did you remove the file that Grace had created and make false accusations against her?"  Mr. Blackwood made the demand, and although Grace remained silent and bit her lip, she felt as though her entire world had crumbled. She knew that Juleth disliked her, but this level of hate was unimaginable. 
"Juleth, dad has asked something, explain yourself?" Alexander wasn't going to soften her up just because she was his sister didn't mean she could pull that trick again, he thought maybe she had changed but the current situation said otherwise.
"D-ad I-I didn'-n't mean t-o do this." She said being scared.
"Juleth! Are you for real now? Do you have slightest idea that your stupid stunt would have costed us and Grace who is innocent in all this, why did you drag her?" Mr. Blackwood was not just angry but disappointed in his daughter.
"Wait!" Grace who was quiet till now decided to come closer to Juleth and asked her.
Grace said calmly  
Grace POV
After seeing the unfolding in front of my eyes it was clear that it was Juleth behind all this but why did she take this extreme step knowing it will affect her dad and brother as well. As I took steps towards her, I would feel all the attention diverted on me. 
"Juleth I know you don't like but I'm unaware what's the reason for this much hate towards me, so please tell me." I asked her
She slowly looks up to me with nothing but anger and hate in her eyes clearly visible. She scoffed at looking me.
"Grace you already know the answer." She said giving me slight smirk confusing me. 
"Juleth!" I would see uncle James ready to throw his hands on her for this disrespectful behaviour before he would do anything Mr. Richard signalled him not to, he sighed tried to remain calm.
"Juleth I'm clearly unaware what are you talking about?" I said 
"Okay than maybe I should explain you in simple words because your dumb brain doesn't seem to realise it." I was tolerating this behaviour of her just because I want to know the reason. 
"So, listen Grace you took away everything from me my dad & dad and now even my brother. Not just that I'm tired of hearing how much good you are at your work or oh how perfect you are, I'M TIRED". (she screamed) "I'm tired of my dad being so nice to you I'M FUCKING JEALOUS he loves you as if you're his own daughter and now even my brother Alexander, you want to wrap him around your fingers. Aren't you pathetic? Wanting to warm my brother's bed? Huh? Right isn't it Grace?" She smirked at me as her eyes began to water; tears didn't stop flowing her eyes due to the anger which she held.
"Always keep in mind that you are nothing but just a girl who my dad sympathises because your parents were his close friend". She said smirking I was about to respond but I was surprised when I felt a tug from behind me pulling me aside only to see Alexander's nervous eyes before I would turn around, I heard a loud sound.
SLAP!
I was shocked to see uncle James looking at Juleth who had held her cheek after feeling the impact of slap, he had his face clenched in anger I would see him getting red. Mr. Richard tried to grab hold of him but he signalled him not to interfere upon seeing this he knew it's better not to argue.
