“You can give me a beating?” she replied after thinking about it. After all, she thought, ‘Isn’t he going to get even with me anyway? I might as well let him have some fun with it!

Hadwin Stephenson rolled his eyes. What was going on in her head?! Was it impossible for her to see why he was keeping her around and dating her?

Suddenly, he turned the wheel and pulled the car over to the side of the road. Then with a click, he unbuckled his seat belt, leaned forward, and kissed her hard on the lips.

Lina Sweeney was a little stunned.

It took her a while to realize that he… Was kissing her! They were just beside the main road!

‘Come on! People are pa**ing by!’

“Hadwin Stephenson… Um…” She had just opened her mouth, but he seemed to have swallowed all her words.

Lina Sweeney tried to push him away. Her hands had just moved, but his hands pressed against her wrists, making her unable to move.

She could not fight back!

Lina Sweeney accepted the kiss pa**ively. She could only comfort herself, thinking that if someone saw them, she and Hadwin Stephenson would be embarra**ed together.

‘Besides… It feels good to be kissed by him. Since I can’t fight back, I might as well enjoy it!

Therefore, what started as a one-sided kiss gradually became two-sided. After the kiss was over, Lina Sweeney felt… Um, there was still more to be desired!

“Lina Sweeney, do you really not know what I want?” Hadwin Stephenson glared at the person under him.

She was a little stunned. ‘What he wants… Is for me to fall in love with him so that he can kick me aside and get the thrill of revenge, isn’t it?’

However, why was there a strong feeling in the way he looked at her as if it could not be melted?

It even gave her the illusion that he loved her!

‘How could he love me?

‘He hates me! I slept with him and left the next day without a word!

“I…” She bit her lip and for a moment did not know what to say.

He did not wait for her to answer. He took out his phone, dialed a number, and said to the other end of the line, “Get the news about Lily being blacklisted and forced to quit to the top of the trending searches list… Yes… Hold on.”

As he spoke, Hadwin Stephenson turned his head to Lina Sweeney and asked, “How many days do you want it to be number one on the trending searches list?”

“Huh?” Lina Sweeney blinked, still a little distracted. She said subconsciously, “Three days?”

“Three days then,” Hadwin Stephenson replied to the other end of the line. A moment later, he put away the phone and said to Lina Sweeney, “Alright. I’ve done what you wanted.”

Lina Sweeney blinked her eyes again. ‘That’s… It?’

She worked hard for most of the day without success, yet… Uh, it was all done with a kiss and a phone call?

Lina Sweeney suddenly thought that her kiss… Seemed to be worth a lot of money. However, she did not know how much money topping the trending searches list would cost Hadwin Stephenson!

It could not be removed. Even if Lily used the Atkinson family and her own ability to pull some strings, the news about her being blacklisted and forced to quite stayed well on top of the trending searches list.

‘Who did it? Who the hell did it?

‘Is it Jason?’

Was there someone else?’ After all, many people in the entertainment industry were jealous of her, so there were probably a lot of people who were planning to kick her while she was down.

“Still can’t figure out who it is?” Lily barked at her manager on the other end of the line.

“They’re mysterious. We can’t find out who it is. All I can find out is that your news has to top the trending searches list for three days before getting removed,” said the manager.

“What?” Lily could not believe it. She could not even stand it for an hour, let alone three days!

“Whatever it costs, remove it from the trending searches list!”

Lily said hurriedly.

When Sean Stevens walked into the room, Lily threw herself into Sean Stevens’s arms with a tearful face.

“Sean, someone’s trying to get at me. They made the news about me getting blacklisted to the top trending search. What should I do? I… I’ll be the joke of the entire upper-cla** society!” Lily said pitifully. The pity on her face was enough to evoke anyone’s desire to protect.

Sean Stevens held Lily. “I won’t let others laugh at you. I’ll help you with the trending searches list incident.”

“It’s all Grace’s fault. If it hadn’t been for her, how could I have ended up like this? However, she won’t be happy for long. I’m waiting to see when Jason gets tired of her and dumps her,”

Lily said bitterly.

“That probably… Won’t happen, Sean Stevens said after a moment’s hesitation. After all, anyone who had ever seen

Jason with Grace could tell how much Jason loved Grace.

Lily only smiled with a touch of menace on the corners of her lips. It formed a sharp contrast against the pity on her face.

“My sister once said that a man like Jason can’t love a woman at all! He can’t trust women. He’s the only one in the world he’ll ever believe in!”

‘Unless Grace can make Jason have no doubts about her. Otherwise, as long as there’s a little doubt…’ Lily’s eyes darkened.

Jason is a lunatic. Sis loved him so dearly. Even though Jason didn’t love her, she still wanted to marry him. However, Jason didn’t even shed a tear for her when she died.

‘Now, I’d love to see what would happen to Grace.

‘It’s Grace who made me so miserable. When Grace gets dumped by Jason, I’ll be sure to give Grace another taste of pain!’

Although the Stevens family and the Atkinson family pulled a lot of strings and spent a lot of money, the news about Lily being blacklisted still topped the trending searches list for three days.

The families got word that more than one party wanted to put the news on top of the list.

Lily had been completely humiliated, so to speak.

Lina Sweeney was in quite a good mood when she saw that the news topping the trending searches list every day. She also praised Hadwin Stephenson. Incidentally, she also took a screenshot of the trending searches list and printed it out, saying she wanted to make it a memento.

Hadwin Stephenson was speechless.

“By the way, the day after tomorrow is your birthday, Grace. Will you be spending it at Reed Residence?” Lina Sweeney asked during the phone call.

Her best friend had said before that her birthday this year just happened to be the day after the 49th day of her grandmother’s death, so she did not want a big celebration.

“Yes. Just come with Hadwin Stephenson. If he’s free, of course,” Grace said.

“Sure. Hold on. I’ll ask him,” Lina Sweeney said and looked up at Hadwin Stephenson who was in front of her. “The day after tomorrow is Grace’s birthday. Are you free to go with me?”

“Yes,” said Hadwin Stephenson. Grace was Lina’s best friend, so of course he was going to go if he was invited.

After all, he would value the people Lina valued.

“Then I’ll come over with Hadwin Stephenson the day after tomorrow,” Lina Sweeney answered on the phone.

“Sure,” said Grace. They talked some more before ending the call.

Grace put down her phone and turned to Jason, saying, “I’ve only invited Lina, Hadwin Stephenson, Kyla, and Nelson to my birthday the day after tomorrow. That’s all.”

Jason pressed his thin lips together slightly. “Next year, I’ll have a big birthday party for you.”

Grace smiled. “It’s alright. I think it’s good enough to spend my birthday with people who are nice to me. It doesn’t matter if it’s a big birthday. However, I’m looking forward to the cake you’ll make for me.”

He took her hand. “Alright. I’ll make you a perfect cake the day after tomorrow.”

A man like him was willing to make a cake for her by hand. She thought if Grandma was still alive, she must be glad that she found a man who loved her so much.

From now on, her grandmother who was in the next world need not worry about her anymore, because someone would stay by her side and take care of her.

“It’s the 49th day of Grandma’s death tomorrow. I thought I’d go over and see her,” said Grace.

“Then I’ll ask the driver to drive you there. I’ll come and accompany you after my morning meeting,” said Jason.
