Lina Sweeney chatted with Grace for a while more before putting down her phone.
“You seem to be in a good mood.” Hadwin Stephenson’s voice.
suddenly rang in Lina Sweeney’s ear.
She was startled, then remembered that there was another person in front of her. She was kind of on a date with him… Um, right now.
“Yes!” After speaking, Lina Sweeney went back to eating the dessert in front of her. Evelyn’s present situation was as bad as being struck by lightning. How could she be in a bad mood?
“Just because of what happened to Evelyn?” he asked as he raised his eyebrows.
“Tell me about it. I knew Evelyn was not a good person from the start. With her situation now, there’s divine justice after all!” said
Lina Sweeney. Looking at how people cursed Evelyn on her phone, she felt refreshed and even her appetite improved.
“There’s divine justice?” Hadwin Stephenson suddenly laughed and looked at Lina Sweeney as if he heard a joke. “Do you think there’s divine justice?”
Lina Sweeney paused with her hand holding a small spoon. She looked at him in confusion. “What else could it be?”
“Only a fool like you would think there’s divine justice. Don’t you think it’s too much of a coincidence?” said Hadwin Stephenson.
“Coincidence?” Lina Sweeney was stunned.
“It has only been a short time since Evelyn framed Grace. It’s no secret that the director, who was in this scandal with Evelyn, was a playboy. Everyone in the industry knows that he likes to toy with actresses. Why did the director’s wife only catch him with
Evelyn?”
Hadwin Stephenson analyzed. With that, Lina Sweeney was suddenly stunned. “Is this directed against Evelyn?”
“The timing was too good. They caught them red-handed and the video went straight to the internet. Isn’t it usually better to negotiate using the video to get what you want? However, the director’s wife did not even give her a chance to negotiate. It was as if she just wanted to destroy her completely. She would not get anything out of this. Even uploading such videos is at risk of getting a lawsuit.”
Lina Sweeney’s brows furrowed as she listened on. Things she never thought of were now suspicious after listening to Hadwin Stephenson’s analysis.
“The director’s wife is a smart person. What’s the point of doing these things at the expense of others when it wouldn’t necessarily benefit herself?” Hadwin Stephenson said calmly.
Lina Sweeney was not a fool. When he said this, she seemed to understand it at once. “Is there someone behind the scenes who wants to give Evelyn a hard time?”
‘Is It Evelyn’s rival in the entertainment industry? Brian, or…” Jason’s face flashed across Lina Sweeney’s mind.
“That’s about it,” Hadwin Stephenson said carelessly.
“Who do you think is behind this?” asked Lina Sweeney, looking like she was willing to take advice.
“If I had to guess, it would be Jason,” said Hadwin Stephenson.
“Why?”
“Because there are very few people who can control this. The director’s wife probably can’t instruct this person. Besides, Evelyn is also Brian’s ex-girlfriend. With Evelyn making such a fool of herself, of course Brian’s reputation will be tarnished. How many people in Emerald City dare to offend Brian?”
Lina Sweeney was silent. What Hadwin Stephenson just said. made her think that it really was Jason who did it.
“Jason probably doesn’t want to be too secretive about this matter either. He has a lot of tricks up his sleeve to make Evelyn disappear in this world without a sound,” said Hadwin Stephenson. In his opinion, what Jason did was more like a warning to those who had some wits not to have any funny ideas.
against Grace. Evelyn was a prime example.
“Is it really okay for Grace… To be with Jason?” asked Lina Sweeney suddenly.
Hadwin Stephenson was stunned for a moment. Then, he noticed.
that her face was a little pale and her hand that was holding the spoon was trembling slightly.
“What happened?” He took her trembling hand in his. “What’s wrong?”
His warmth pa**ed from his palm to hers, making her hand slowly stop trembling. “It’s just… I find Jason kind of scary all of a sudden.”
He could work out such a scandal that Evelyn had no chance of turning things around.
Jason was getting justice for Grace, which was a good thing, but was that not what was so terrible about this man?
It was all too easy for people like Jason to destroy someone.
Jason was in love with Grace now, but what if… With Jason’s mind, tricks, and abilities, Grace would not be able to resist at all.
“Scary? Yes, Jason is indeed a scary man. Why? Are you worried about Grace?” said Hadwin Stephenson.
Lina Sweeney nodded.
“Then just pray that Grace won’t betray Jason for the rest of her life,” said Hadwin Stephenson. “After all, he must really love
Grace.”
It was an absolute possession. An outsider like him could feel it just from the way Jason looked at Grace.
It was like a beast keeping their prey in their own sphere of influence without allowing others to go near it.
Once someone was after his prey, they would be hit the hardest.
“What kind of comfort is that?” Lina Sweeney rolled her eyes. “What if Grace and Jason’s relationship fails, or if she accidentally annoys Jason? What do you think Jason will do to Grace?”
After all, there was always a rainy day.
Hadwin Stephenson laughed, flexed his fingers, and flicked Lina Sweeney’s forehead. “You think so little of your friend. I’m afraid.
the inferior one is Jason.”
Lina Sweeney was stunned and opened her mouth in surprise. ‘No way! The word ‘inferior’ can’t be synonymous with Jason.”
“Are you kidding me?” muttered Lina Sweeney.
“Do I look like I’m joking?” asked Hadwin Stephenson. “I’m afraid the one who’s in the driver’s seat in their relationship is still your friend, so there are some things you don’t have to think about.”
In relationships, the one who loved more was always the one who was dominated. Between Jason and Grace, Jason was obviously the one who loved more.
Just like he and she… Hadwin Stephenson looked at the woman.
in front of him. She thought he was taking revenge on her through. this relationship, but only he knew the truth.
He was only begging her to love him.
In their relationship, he was dominated by her. No matter how unwilling he was, he was willing… To be at her mercy.
To let her control his emotions and anxiety.
Just because… He loved her and unconsciously loved her too deeply…
On Saturday, when Grace got off work, Jason came to pick her up.
“I’m taking you somewhere,” he said.
“Where?” she asked in confusion.
“You’ll find out soon enough,” he answered.
When she followed him to the place he had spoken of, she found that it was her old house-the one her father and stepmother were selling.
He opened the door with a key and brought her in, which meant… “You bought this house?” she asked in surprise.
“Yes,” he said. “After all, there are memories of you and your mother here.”
Grace bit her lip slightly and said, “You don’t have to buy this apartment for me…”
The next moment, his fingers were pressed against her lips. He interrupted her. “The money I paid for this apartment is nothing to me, but it could retain some of your memories. If you don’t like it, you can just leave it be.”
Her lips distinctly felt the warmth of his fingers.
She gently pulled down his hand and said, “Thank you.” She knew he had done all this for her.
“There ought to be something of your mother’s here. Why don’t you take a look?” asked Jason.
Grace was shocked. ‘Mom’s stuff?”
