“Um, what are you planning to do?” she asked in a daze.
“Weren’t you going to wash up?” Jason asked back.
‘Um… Okay. So that was the case.’
Once in the bathroom, he carefully let her feet down first, then her body, and said to her, “If you’re unable to stand properly, then grab on to me.”
“Oh,” she softly replied and looked up at the mirror in front of her.
They could see their reflections in the mirror. She could see him from the mirror with his head lowered, carefully preparing the toothpaste on her toothbrush…
‘This must be how it feels like to be taken care of by someone,
Grace thought.
“I’m done,” he said while pa**ing the toothbrush to her. “If you’re unable to brush your teeth, I can do it for you as well.”
“It’s okay, I… can do it myself.” She quickly lowered her head to start brushing her teeth. She did not notice that he was now staring into the mirror, watching her brush her teeth with her head lowered.
Jason’s gaze darkened with endless obsession. ‘She has finally fallen in love with me. She’s mine now.
‘But this is not enough… This is far from enough!’
His face inched toward the crown of her head. He took a whiff of the smell of her hair. He mumbled, “Love me more. Love me so much that you can’t bear to leave me, okay?”
That was his deepest desire…
“What’s going on? Who’s targeting our family? What’s this about empty stock?” Camelia Meyer mumbled.
Harold blurted with a difficult expression, “It’s the Reed family.”
“What?” Camelia Meyer was shocked. “Jason? Is… Is he too free that he wants to disturb our stock market? We don’t have any grudges with him!”
‘No grudge?’ Harold begged to differ. Although they had personally visited to explain about Grace’s issue last time,
Jason did not look like he was going to let the issue rest.
Camelia Meyer also thought about it and with a disbelief look, she exclaimed, “Don’t tell me that Jason is doing this to us for that woman Grace!”
However, when those words came out from her mouth, she found it hard to believe as well. After all, in her point of view, Grace was a mere lowly woman! A man like Jason would not go through such troubles for a woman like her, would he?
To the extent of making the Atkinson family into enemies?
“That’s just a woman who’s an ex-convict!” Camelia Meyer mumbled, still finding it hard to believe.
“Indeed. He’s even going to this extent for an ex-convict, Harold said with a troubled look. ‘This goes to show how important Grace is to Jason, more important than I imagined!
‘If I let Jason continue to empty the Atkinson family, he’ll eventually sell off the Atkinson family’s properties and businesses at a low price.
‘The problem now is that Jason is so swift and brutal that I have no way of fighting off his tactics.
‘If this goes on, the Atkinson family’s business is going to plummet.
“Let’s look for Lily to discuss this. She’s now the daughter-in-law of the Stevens family, so we’re essentially the same family. Let’s get her to speak to them to get the Stevens family to help us!”
“How do you think they should help? Are you expecting the Stevens family to go against Jason and become his enemy? Or do you expect the Stevens family to pump in billions to bring up our shares?” Harold asked.
Camelia Meyer immediately shut her mouth. She understood. little regarding the business world. Once her husband said so, she understood that it was impossible to get help from the
Stevens family.
It was not just a matter of whether the Stevens family could bring out a few billion at one go. Just the fact that they would be going against Jason was impossible for them to do anything.
“Then… Then what should we do?” Camelia Meyer was anxious. “What’s wrong with Jason that he’s now bewitched by a woman like Grace? What drugs did that woman give him? She’s just a woman that Sean did not want!”
Harold impatiently chided, “Enough! You can speak such. things in front of me, but don’t go around talking about it in public lest you want to attract more unnecessary troubles.”
Camelia Meyer was unwilling, but she could not say anything further.
“I’ll go and meet up with Jason to see what his intentions are,” Harold said. He could not allow the Atkinson family to be in a crisis because of a woman like Grace.
However, when Harold met Jason, he would not have imagined that Jason would give a peculiar offer.
“It’s easy if you want me to let you off. Within ten days, I want you to bulldoze the shopping mall that chased Grace out into a flat piece of land. Only then will I forget about this issue.” Jason calmly offered.
Harold could not believe what his ears heard. “Flatten the shopping mall into a piece of land?” That meant he was supposed to demolish the whole shopping mall? Notwithstanding the cost it took to build that mall, it was a mall within the city center that had a good sales record. The board of directors would not agree to demolish the mall just like that.
“Jason, I think there are some misunderstandings between us.
If you want to vent your frustration on behalf of Ms. Cummins, why don’t we discuss a different method of solving this?”
Harold tried to pave the way for a discussion to reduce his damages.
However, Jason said, “I don’t think there are any misunderstandings, but you have said one thing correctly. I am venting my frustration on her behalf. You should be glad that I didn’t get someone to break off your wife’s arm that hit her. I’ve given you enough face for this.”
Harold’s expression became ugly. “Jennifer was once your fiancée back then. Can you just think of Jennifer and let this. go for her sake? Or perhaps let me make amends personally toward Ms. Cummins?”
Harold thought that he could use their past relationship to pull some sympathy, but Jason smirked. “Think of Jennifer
Atkinson?”
It was as if Harold had said the biggest joke of the century.
Harold panicked and felt that he had been reduced to shame.
by someone who was decades younger than himself. Out of reflex, he said, “Now that you’re with Grace, does she know what happened back then?”
That sentence made the atmosphere’s temperature drop. abruptly. Jason coldly glared at Harold. It was a gaze that carried danger and death.
Death?!
Harold was shocked. Chills ran down his spine. It was as though if he were to say another word, he and all of the
Atkinson family members would be bestowed with calamity!
If Jason was indifferent toward what happened back then, that incident was now Jason’s taboo!
At that moment, Harold felt that everything he wanted to say was stuck in his throat, and he could not utter even half a word.
Grace was at the hospital visiting Nelson. This time, Nelson was awake and interacting with Kyla Corbyn who was also in the room. Kyla Corbyn was pointing at various objects and telling Nelson what they were.
Nelson was listening attentively, literally listening. He would occasionally point at the item that Kyla Corbyn mentioned earlier and she would repeat it for him.
Grace called out, “Nelson.”
At that moment, the boy turned around to look in her direction.
This had never happened before. That meant that Nelson. could hear her voice! Grace was elated for the boy.
