Grace raised her hand and gently hugged Jason back.

The moment she put her hands around him, his body suddenly trembled a little. After a while, his low voice rang in her ears, “I like the way you’re holding me, Sis. Will you hold me a little longer?”

His tone was affectionate. She could not say no.

“Sure,” she answered while continuing to hold him. She let time fly in silence…

Early the next morning, Lina Sweeney arrived at Reed

Residence’s entrance on time to pick them up. However, other than Lina Sweeney, Hadwin Stephenson had also come. He was the driver.

Only the car he was driving was Lina Sweeney’s cheap car.

Hadwin Stephenson and Jason stared at each other at Reed Residence’s gate while Lina Sweeney took the initiative to drag Grace into the back of the car for a girlfriends’ gathering where they could talk more freely.

After all, due to Grace’s busy work schedule, the two could only meet once every two weeks or one month.

“Is Hadwin Stephenson driving later?” asked Grace. After all, it was Hadwin Stephenson who drove here.

“Yes.” Lina Sweeney shrugged. “When it comes to things like driving, just let men contribute.” Hadwin Stephenson was going to drive his multi-million dollar luxury car, but Lina Sweeney thought it was too ostentatious to drive it to a detention center.

Besides, if they were to swap drivers midway, she was worried about an accident happening.

As for her rattletrap, she was used to driving it. Even if it was hit, there would not be a crazily expensive repair bill!

Therefore, she insisted on driving her own car.

Fortunately, Hadwin Stephenson did not argue with her about it and drove it over.

“Do you have any key questions you want to ask him today?”

asked Lina Sweeney. That was their concern today.

Grace nodded. “It’s all in my notes, but I won’t be able to talk to him myself. He probably still remembers what I look like.”

“Hadwin Stephenson found a mediator to help him settle the dispute. The mediator will ask the key questions,” said Lina

Sweeney.

Grace never expected Hadwin Stephenson to think of such details. “By the way, how did the witness get into the detention center?”

Grace suddenly noticed that it should not be so coincidental that when they investigated the witness, the witness. happened to be in detention. Plus, Hadwin Stephenson had even found a mediator.

Lina Sweeney chuckled. “Hadwin Stephenson got a gang of people to get drunk and get into trouble with the man. Then, he started to hit them and is now being detained.”

“…” Grace was at a loss.

“That witness You is not a good man anyway. He made a lot of money out of your case, and he got a bargain, so he’s only being detained at the detention center.” Lina Sweeney had no sympathy for the witness.

After Hadwin Stephenson did this and told her about it, she praised Hadwin Stephenson highly. Of course, after praising him, Hadwin Stephenson took advantage of her.

Speaking of this, being taken advantage of by Hadwin Stephenson did not disgust her. Instead, she kind of enjoyed it.

Lina Sweeney once analyzed herself for a long time to figure. out why she behaved that way. She finally concluded that maybe it was because of Hadwin Stephenson’s face.

After all, his looks were her cup of tea. She was so appearance-obsessed that it was hard for her not to be affected.

People were visual animals after all.

The vibe of the two men looking at each other outside the car was not as harmonious as that of the two women on it.

“I didn’t expect you to go with us today, Young Master Reed,” said Hadwin Stephenson.

“Grace is my girlfriend. Of course, I’m going when it concerns her,” Jason replied lightly.

“Is that so? It seems that the person who died in Grace’s case was your fiancée, Jennifer Atkinson, Young Master Reed. Do you believe Grace to be guilty or innocent?”

Jason’s eyes suddenly turned cold. His gaze was piercing Hadwin Stephenson fiercely like sharp ice swords. “I will do justice to her.” Of course, he would not let the people who wanted to hurt her off the hook.

“Is that so?” Hadwin Stephenson smiled a little and did not ask.

again. After all, he was only an outsider in Grace’s case.

What made him a little curious was now that Jason was with Grace, it was a bit strange that he was not helping Grace reverse her case.

Was it because of the Atkinson family? After all, Jennifer Atkinson was killed in the car accident. Besides, the Reed family and the Atkinson family shared a good relationship.

“I didn’t expect you to help my girlfriend in investigating her case, Mr. Stephenson. I should thank you for that.” Jason smirked, and the cold seemed to melt all of a sudden, just like the warm spring sun. “Do you want to get in the car? If there’s any further delay, I’m afraid we’ll have to postpone our arrival time.”

“Sure, let’s get in the car,” said Hadwin Stephenson. He had only gotten in touch with Jason once when Jason took Grace to his mansion to take Lina away.

They said Jason was temperamental and it was hard to guess. what he was thinking about. He controlled the vast Reed Group and ruled Emerald City, but few people knew what he liked and disliked. Even before Grace, Jennifer Atkinson was the only woman who was linked to his name.

It seemed that other women who tried to get close to Jason were all met with devastating ends. He did not know what men like Jason saw in Grace.

In his opinion, Grace was just an ordinary woman.

However, when Hadwin Stephenson thought of this, he suddenly touched his nose and could not help laughing at himself.

He went mad for more than three years and went all over the world looking for an ordinary woman like Lina Sweeney. He even went back and forth to the places they had been to together countless times, just like a fool.

Even so, he had finally found this heartless woman!

The two men got into the car. As the two women were already in the back seat, Hadwin Stephenson got behind the wheel while Jason sat in the pa**enger’s seat.

When the car was on the road, Lina Sweeney suddenly felt as if her rattletrap had gotten an upgrade. Others would be shocked if they knew that the president of Reed Group and the president of Stephenson Group were both in it.

On their way there, the two men in the front row were silent while the two women in the back were chatting.

Lina Sweeney did most of the talking while Grace just listened.

“By the way, there’s a very popular TV series recently. It’s called The King’s Lover. Have you seen it?” asked Lina

Sweeney.

Grace shook her head. She would go to work during the day and only went home at night. At most, she only had some time to check several news feeds on the internet before going to bed.

“It’s pretty good. The plot… Tsk tsk… I can’t spoil it. I’ll give you the link for it later. By the way, the male lead is the Howell

Webb you liked a lot back then,” said Lina Sweeney. She was once again hooked on the actor because of the TV series.

She was also his fan for a while, but she got hooked on another TV series and fell under another actor’s spell.

As a fan, Lina Sweeney was definitely an unfaithful one. She would like this one today and like another one tomorrow.

Grace was stunned. Howell Webb. How long had it been since she paid attention to the actor? Before she went to prison, she was actually a fan of the celebrity, which of course, meant contributing to the ratings and occasionally buying some of the actor’s endorsements.

When she went shopping with Lina, she would also introduce the TV series the actor starred in because she thought he was good in terms of looks and acting. He might get popular in the future if he had the chance.

Listening to Lina Sweeney mentioning Howell Webb now made Grace feel like she was going back in time. It seemed that she had always been tense after being released from prison. How long had she not relaxed?
