Chapter 196: Exoneration (1)
"Tell me! What happened? Are you still on the show? Did you go to jail? Did they bail you out?" Grace Choi, future entertainment journalist and PR firm owner, began grilling Ari the moment her grandmother left piles of food for him to eat at the back table.
"Can’t talk about it. Can’t talk about it. No jail, just went on a long drive. Not applicable." Ari replied as he grabbed a piece of spicy radish and ate it with some tender beef.
As the flavors melted together in his mouth with some rice, he could only nod in approval.
Even if he wasn’t super picky about food, as always, the meals at the Choi family restaurant were as fantastic as usual after the bland meals given by Pop Star Academy.
Grace waited until Ari swallowed his bit of food before continuing to grill him.
"If you’re saying that, it means they haven’t eliminated you yet, which is good. Who was that woman who was saying all those things about you?"
"Foster mom."
"The one who kicked you out? Why would she say all those things about you? She’s a terrible person!"
"I agree. That’s why she’s spending her weekend in prison."
"Seriously?"
"Yep."
Ari’s dry response made it clear that he didn’t want to continue talking about that woman, so Grace changed the subject.
