“What’s the matter? Still worried about your friend?” asked Hadwin Stephenson.
“Can I not worry? She said she’s alright, but how could she be alright? How could she be alright?” Lina Sweeney was more dissatisfied with Jason as she thought of
She even thought Jason was great. Now, she just wanted to slap herself hard!
“Take me to Reed Residence. I want to see Jason!” Lina Sweeney said angrily.
“Now?” Hadwin Stephenson raised his eyebrows slightly.
“Yes, now! If it’s inconvenient for you, I’ll take a taxi myself,” said Lina Sweeney, about to open the door and get out.
He grabbed her arm and said, “It’s not inconvenient, but… are you mentally prepared for it? You’re going to get justice for your friend and stand up for her, but you might offend Jason by doing so.”
“Then I’ll just offend him. I’m only a small citizen. What’s there to be afraid of?”
Lina Sweeney trembled with anger at the thought of Grace’s forced smiles.
Hadwin Stephenson said nothing more and started his car, driving toward Reed
Residence.
The night was dark. At Reed Residence’s entrance, Lina Sweeney banged the gate desperately and pressed the doorbell, shouting to the inside, “Come out! Ask Jason to come out! I want to ask him something!”
No matter how noisy or how loud she was, Jason did not come out. Instead, a group of Reed Residence’s security guards came out, warning Lina Sweeney that if she did not leave, they would report her to the police directly.
Therefore, Hadwin Stephenson pulled
Lina Sweeney into the car. “Do it some other day. If you really want to see Jason and say a few words for Grace, then I’ll find you a chance.”
Lina Sweeney was stunned and stared somewhat blankly at the man in front of her. Suddenly, she came back to her senses. He had taken her here to see
Jason. If Jason did show up and got his head bit off by her, then she would have offended Jason. However, what about him? He would have offended Jason too.
“Are you going to find me a chance to prer scold Jason? Have you ever thought that by doing this, you’d be offending Jason too?”
“So what?” He chuckled. “I’ve prepared myself for that by accompanying you here today.”
“Why?” She wondered. He did not have to get into this mess at all.
Moreover, in terms of business, the
Stephenson family’s business had now begun to extend to Emerald City, and it should be the time for them to establish a good relationship with Jason. If he offended Jason, then the development of the Stephenson family’s business in Emerald City would become difficult.
“Would you believe me if I said I don’t care who I offend?” he asked as he stared at her.
For a moment, Lina Sweeney felt her mind in a trance, as if something was pouring out of her heart.
‘What part of what he’s saying is true and what part is false?
‘However… now I seem to be tempted to believe him.’
Listening to the butler’s report, Terrence knew that Lina Sweeney and Hadwin Stephenson, who were outside, had left. His expression finally seemed a little better.
joining in the mess!
However, one of Terrence’s biggest concerns at the moment was his boss, who had been in the kitchen for three whole hours after coming back.
He was just standing still in front of the half-finished cake, looking at it and making people wonder what he was thinking.
Terrence also did not understand why
Young Master Reed, who obviously loved
Grace so much, had suddenly broken up with her today.
‘Is it because of… the psychiatrist from before that made the two of them
‘Or is there… something else?’
However, he knew in his heart that whatever the reason was, it was not for him as a subordinate to inquire.
Suddenly, Terrence saw his boss, who had been standing still in the kitchen, suddenly lifting his hand. He refilled the pipe with cream, and… continued to pipe the unfinished cake with cream flowers.
‘What’s Young Master Reed… doing?’
Terrence looked on in shock until Jason finished piping the cake and put candles on it one by one… There were a total of 28 candles on the cake.
‘He lit the candles!’
It was like he was celebrating someone’s birthday!
‘Is Young Master Reed lighting the candles for Grace? The question is, didn’t they break up? Besides, Grace isn’t here either!’
Then, Terrence saw Jason blow out the candles before removing them from the cake one by one.
He took a small spoon and began to eat the cake, spoonful after spoonful.
Terrence could not help saying, “Young Master Reed, this cake has been left at room temperature for a little too long. If you eat it like that, what if you get sick-”
“Yeah. It has been a little long indeed,”
mumbled Jason before he continued to eat the cake mouthful by mouthful.
It was like some kind of ritual.
The rest of Terrence’s speech seemed to be stuck in his throat, and he was unable to utter a single word.
Time pa**ed little by little, and Jason finally ate the whole cake. “Terrence, tell
Is there anyone who can control my life or death?”
“Huh?” Terrence was stunned, not expecting that his boss would suddenly ask such a thing. “Of course… not.”
“I think so too. There can’t be,” said Jason.
‘Therefore, I need to stop missing and thinking about that woman. Just as if I had never loved her.
‘From now on, I don’t have to worry so much about whether she would go to
Brian, and I don’t have to guess how much of her heart is with Brian.
‘I won’t repeat my father’s mistakes. I won’t let myself become as awkward and embarra**ed as a lost dog just to love someone.
‘I surely won’t!’
With that, Jason finally left the kitchen and walked up the stairs to the second floor alone.
‘From now on, I don’t have to worry so much about whether she would go to Brian, and I don’t have to guess how much of her heart is with Brian.
‘I won’t repeat my father’s mistakes. I won’t let myself become as awkward and embarra**ed as a lost dog just to love someone.
‘I surely won’t!’
With that, Jason finally left the kitchen and walked up the stairs to the second floor alone.
Terrence looked at the back of his boss with mixed feelings.
‘If there really is someone in the world who could control Young Master Reed’s life and death… Somehow, Grace’s name came to his mind.
Grace woke up the next day to see a beautifully wrapped gift box at her bedside. It was a birthday gift from Lina and Hadwin Stephenson.
It was just that she did not open it last night.
Slowly sitting up, Grace opened the box, and inside was a tiny, exquisite doll that looked a bit like her. It was dressed in a lawyer’s suit, looking so cute.
Inside the box was a handwritten card from Lina. ‘Grace, I wish that you’ll be happy every day and that you’ll move closer toward your dreams!
‘PS: Press the doll’s left palm for a surprise!’
‘Happy? Dreams?
‘Will I still have these things?’
Grace’s hand reached to the doll’s left palm, which had a small protruded button..
She pressed it gently, and a voice rang from the doll’s body. “I want to be a good lawyer for the sake of justice in my heart. Haha. I hope that those who come to me for help in the future will find it a good thing to have me as their lawyer after their lawsuit is over!”
‘It’s… my voice!
‘It’s what I had said!’
