Her heart ached at the loss!

“Is that all? I’ll give you the money later!”

He rolled his eyes at her.

“If you give me the money, that means I didn’t earn it. It’s much more satisfying when you spend the money you earn! Hey, rub a little harder. A little more to the left… Yes, there it is. Rub a little more.

It feels good here,” she said.

Hadwin Stephenson was getting pissed off by this girl!

He was the one questioning her at first, but she ended up commanding him instead.

“Did you send Grace home yesterday?

Was she drunk too?” asked Lina.

“She was drunk, but it wasn’t me who sent her home. It was Jason,” said

Hadwin Stephenson.

Lina was surprised and instantly widened her eyes before turning to look at Hadwin Stephenson. “Jason? He went to the bar too?”

“Yeah, he even saw you two dancing and singing!”

“What was he doing there? Didn’t he break up with Grace?”

“Why don’t you go and ask him that?”

Hadwin Stephenson raised his eyebrows.

Lina was rendered speechless. After considering the way Jason behaved, Lina thought it would be better to ask Grace.

Suddenly, she remembered one thing and quickly picked up her phone that was left on the bedside, ready to make a call.

“What’s the matter?” he asked.

“I’m making a call. I didn’t go home all night. My parents should be worried.” She could imagine her parents lecturing her for a long while after going home today.

“I’ve already told your parents. They won’t worry anymore,” he said.

‘What?’ Lina blinked before reacting.

“You told them… I was staying at your place for the night?”

“You tell me,” he replied, raising his eyebrows.

“Then… Then don’t they know that we… Gosh!” whined Lina. ‘My parents are the most conservative type of people. If they know that someone has had their way with me… Uh, no… That I had my way with someone, would they punish me by making me kneel on the washboard after I go home?’

“Is it embarra**ing to sleep with me?” His expression sank. She looked as if he was a mortifying secret that she needed to keep.

“No, no! There’s nothing more honorable than to sleep with you! I’m just afraid that my parents won’t accept it because they’re conservative,” Lina said hurriedly.

Hadwin Stephenson only felt that every time he was about to be pissed off, this woman would then amuse him. “All I told your parents was that you had a few drinks and slept in the guest room I arranged for you.”

“Whew!

Lina was relieved.

“Alright, get dressed and go down for breakfast. Have some soup for your hangover. It’ll make you feel better,” he said. She never had the chance to drink the soup the servant prepared last night.

“Okay!” replied Lina. She then watched Hadwin Stephenson get out of bed and give her a set of new clothes before taking his clothes out of the closet and putting them on.

Lina kept staring at Hadwin Stephenson. She only found the image of him putting on his clothes supremely pleasing to the eyes!

‘It’s a pity that… I have no memory of last night!’ She was again mourning her drunken stupor of the night before. Otherwise, she could have had more ‘pleasant’ memories.

“What’s the matter? Why are you looking prer at me like that?” asked Hadwin

Stephenson as he looked at Lina.

There was a mixture of admiration and regret in her eyes.

“No… Nothing.” Then, she started putting on her clothes. She picked them up and looked at the label. ‘It’s a luxury brand. This set of clothes cost more than my annual income!

‘But… Um, they’re clothes from my boyfriend, so I’ll still wear them!’

Lina washed up and followed Hadwin Stephenson downstairs for breakfast. After breakfast, she drank the soup for her hangover.

However, the soup tasted pretty bad.

Lina did not want to drink it, but Hadwin

Stephenson coaxed her until she finished

Hadwin Stephenson then drove his car and sent Lina to the design firm. “Don’t go to such places again, got it?” he said as she stepped out of the car.

“Got it,” replied Lina. She only took Grace there out of curiosity because she saw someone mention it online.

Once she entered the firm, she quickly sent her best friend a WeChat message.

[How were you yesterday? I heard from

[How were you yesterday? I heard from

Hadwin that Jason took you out of the bar.]

Grace did a double take after receiving the message from Lina.

She was in her bed when she woke up this morning. Everything in the rental house was as usual. However, there was a box of hangover pills on the bedside table.

She thought it was Lina who had sent her back to the rental house, but it turned out to be… him.

Grace: [Nothing. I didn’t see him when I woke up this morning. What about you? What happened to you yesterday?]

Grace was in a daze about what happened last night. All she remembered was the atmosphere hyping up, and before she and Lina knew it, they had already drunk too much.

Then, she and Lina sang and danced together.

She felt as if she could vent out all the bitterness pent up in her heart, so she became more and more relaxed, hoping to release all her anguish.

It was as if she could only relax in this way.

[I’m alright. Hadwin Stephenson took me to his mansion for a night’s rest.] Lina was embarra**ed to say that she had ‘slept’ with Hadwin Stephenson again.

During breakfast, Hadwin Stephenson had said in all seriousness, “You’ve done it to me again. You’re dead meat if you don’t take responsibility.”

She was speechless. ‘Don’t women suffer more? I should be the one to say these.’

“Will you take responsibility?” he asked as he stared at her.

“Uh… Sure.” She nodded her head under his intense gaze.

Lina felt speechless yet sweet as she thought about what happened this morning. ‘It feels pretty good that

Hadwin Stephenson is forcing me to take responsibility!’

After chatting with Grace for a short while, Lina put away her phone, turned on the computer at her desk, and got ready to work.

On the other hand, Grace had put away her phone and was lost in thought as she looked at the case files spread out on her desk.

In the afternoon, Lawyer Carter asked Grace to sort out the information about the accident, especially the questionable points.

“Go see the witness Chase Harper and verify the questionable points he said the other day. Then get him to sign to show that he willingly expressed them. I’ve talked to the police, but it would be hard to re-open the case for investigation. However, they’re going to look at it again, so that’s good news,” said Lawyer Carter.

‘That’s indeed good news!’ thought Grace, hoping that the police could find new strong evidence and re-open the case for investigation.

Grace then sorted out the information and set out for Chase Harper’s dealership.

The dealership was actually small and remote, so Grace had to take two buses to get there.
