He could only truly relax and let go of those deceptions and schemes in front of Lina.

Perhaps the more calculating a man like him was, the more he was attracted to someone innocent and straightforward.

It was why he had fallen for her so quickly. He even searched for her all over the world when she left without saying goodbye!

However… would he and Lina have a future together?

He was desperate five years ago, but was he not the same five years later?

Just like what Katherine Jackson had said, he had lost his shot to be with her five years ago! Hadwin Stephenson gently A/A

looked down and stared at his hand for a long time until he fell into a trance The driver said, “Mr. Stephenson, we’ve arrived “

He realized they had now reached the neighborhood Lina was staying in.

Hadwin Stephenson looked out the window toward the apartment floor Lina was staying on.

‘She’s in that apartment right now. What is she doing? Is she still mad that I caused her to be in such a predicament?’

“Aren’t you going upstairs, Mr. Stephenson?” the driver asked somewhat curiously.

“No, I’ll just stay here for a while,” muttered Hadwin Stephenson. He still maintained the same sitting posture and looked quietly at the apartment floor through the window.

‘Tomorrow… I can clear Lina’s name tomorrow!’

The next day, news broke out that Katherine Jackson had been dating a mystery man for years. She even kept him as a secret lover.

They soon found out his identity. He used to be a male stripper in a nightclub. However, he now lived in a luxurious mansion and had people waiting on him when he went out.

The reporter even claimed to have followed Katherine Jackson for several years and had many photos of Katherine Jackson’s private meetings with him.

Some of them were posted online, of course.

In these photos, Katherine Jackson was seen being intimate with that man, even kissing him pa**ionately.

The reporter also said they had something juicier!

Katherine Jackson was surrounded by reporters when she finally left Hadwin Stephenson’s mansion. Looking at the photos they showed her, she instantly understood that this was the ‘show’ Hadwin Stephenson had mentioned.

The news about the male stripper was true. She had indeed been trying to conquer Hadwin Stephenson for five years, but it did not mean that she was ascetic.

She naturally had needs and would want to see other men kneel at her feet and worship her like a dog!

However, these photos were two to three years old! Katherine Jackson did not believe that a reporter had taken these photos as they would have immediately asked her for money upon taking these juicy photos!

Hadwin Stephenson probably gave these photos to the reporter who broke the news!

‘I can’t believe Hadwin Stephenson… has been so calm this whole time!’ Katherine Jackson found the man increasingly unfathomable and frightening. Why did she ever set her eyes. on him?

“Miss Jackson, do you have an explanation for these photos?”

“You’re so intimate with this man while dating Mr. Stephenson. What relationship do you have with this man? Are you cheating on Mr. Stephenson?”

“What about your engagement to Mr. Stephenson?”

They bombarded Katherine Jackson with a series of questions. She now had a taste of Lina’s predicament back then.

‘Is Hadwin Stephenson trying to give me a taste of my own medicine?’

However, Lina had Hadwin Stephenson to rescue her. No one would help her. She even needed to ‘perform’ as best she could!

The next day, a piece of even more exciting news broke out. The Stephenson family had canceled their engagement with the Jackson family!

The cancelation of the engagement between the two families came as a shock but at the same time, it was also expected. They just did not expect it to happen so soon.

Katherine Jackson held a press conference on the same afternoon to explain the situation. “Mr. Hadwin Stephenson and I have already broken up. My boyfriend is the man the media found out about. It was only because of my parents’ objection that I consulted Mr. Stephenson, hoping he could continue to pretend to date me and put on a show to hide it from my parents.

“Mr. Stephenson only helped me because my boyfriend and I are truly in love. He hoped that I could get my parents to change their minds.

“My selfishness caused all this and it has troubled the Stephenson family. Back then, my parents announced our engagement to the public without our knowledge. Mr. Stephenson and I had planned to announce that we were breaking off our engagement after some time. We just didn’t expect this to happen.

“I’m so sorry for causing Mr. Stephenson and Miss Lina trouble. I now announce that Mr. Stephenson and I are not engaged to each other. We broke up long ago!”

Facing the reporters’ cameras and microphones, Katherine Jackson said the lines she had prepared. She tried to portray herself as a pitiful woman who was only fighting for true love!

It was all she could do for herself now. If she did not portray herself as a woman after true love, everyone would probably be calling her a wh*re.

“Miss Jackson, are you going to marry your boyfriend, then? What if your parents object again?” a reporter asked.

“Of… Of course, I’m going to marry him. I’m sure my parents will understand in the future. I’ll carry on even if they’re against it!” Katherine Jackson looked like she would carry on for true love but was actually cursing the reporter in her head.

“But that man used to be a male stripper in a nightclub. He… was involved in a special trade. Are you sure you won’t think he’s not good enough for you?” another reporter asked.

“I love him for who he is. It has nothing to do with his past,” Katherine Jackson said with a smile.

However, she was cursing in her head, ‘Of course, his past has everything to do with it! The Jackson family will be disgraced if I really marry such a man!

‘Besides, a male stripper is not worthy of me! I’ll probably become the laughing stock of the upper cla**!’

However, that was all she could say now to get out of her predicament.

The reporters mostly focused on the matter between Katherine Jackson and the male stripper. No one cared about Lina now.

Lina was full of shock when she saw the press conference online.

She had no idea that her name would be cleared in such a way.

‘Katherine Jackson has another boyfriend, and Hadwin Stephenson and Katherine Jackson never planned to get married? They even broke up a long time ago?

‘What the hell is going on here?’

Lina only felt that too many things were happening one after another. Things were changing too quickly. It made her feel as though she was watching a cheesy sitcom.

Not long ago, netizens started talking about the Stephenson and Jackson families’ canceled engagement. It turned out Katherine Jackson loved someone else.

‘Is this what Hadwin Stephenson meant by giving him time for him… to give me an explanation?’

Mr. and Mrs. Sweeney were also watching the press conference online with Lina.

After all, what they cared about most now was the matter with the Stephenson and Jackson families. It had to do with when their daughter could return to her normal life!

“Well… is our Lina okay now? Are people going to stop criticizing her?” asked Mrs. Sweeney.

Her daughter would not be called a homewrecker if Hadwin Stephenson and Katherine Jackson had already broken up.

Mr. Sweeney said, “Probably. Alright, alright, this should be the end of this matter. We’ll ask the bodyguards here when we can go back later.”

“But if Katherine Jackson and Hadwin Stephenson broke up long ago, does that mean Hadwin is still in love with Lina? Lina, why don’t you and Hadwin-”

“Mom, didn’t I tell you before? It’s not gonna happen between us. Forget about it!” Lina said quickly, stopping her mother’s words.

Mrs. Sweeney could not help but sigh. She was quite fond of Hadwin Stephenson. Although she was furious that Hadwin Stephenson dumped her daughter back then, she could not help thinking that Hadwin Stephenson seemed to still have feelings for her daughter, who had remained single for the past five years.

“Alright, alright! What’s so good about that Stephenson boy? He dumped Lina when she got into that accident. We don’t want him even if he’s rich and successful now! My daughter will certainly find someone else to marry!” shouted Mr. Sweeney.
