Filed To Story: The Scarlet Vengeance: Justice of a Framed Beauty Novel (Grace & Jason)
Lina planned to head over to Grace’s rental house to see her as soon as she got off work the next day.
Although they had talked on the phone yesterday and Grace said she was alright, Lina was still a little worried.
However, a figure stopped in front of her when she came to the parking lot to get her car.
“You must be Lina,” they said.
it was a woman wearing a new outfit from multiple luxury brands’ fall collections. She wore elaborate makeup and was looking haughtily at Lina.
Lina was stunned. “Who are you?”
“I’m Elizabeth Jackson, the one Hadwin Stephenson is going to marry. I heard you’ve been with Hadwin for a while, so I wanted to meet you. What do you think? Why don’t we go somewhere and talk?” she said. It was a question, but her tone was more like an order that had no room for rejection. Her eyes were full of disdain.
Lina raised her eyebrows. ‘Marry… Um, why didn’t Hadwin Stephenson tell me about it? Is this a situation where my rival in love is trying to show me who’s the boss?
‘Wait a minute. This woman doesn’t seem to be my rival in love!
Lina made all sorts of speculations in her head, temporarily ignoring Elizabeth Jackson.
Elizabeth Jackson had never suffered such treatment. If it were not for her next plan, she would have turned around and left by now. She would not waste her time on this seemingly ordinary woman.
She had no idea what Hadwin Stephenson saw in this woman!
“Hey, do you want to talk or not?” Elizabeth Jackson said. angrily.
“Sure. Let’s just go to the coffee shop next to my office, but it’s your treat,” said Lina. Lina was not going to split the bill for those who came looking for trouble and save them money.
The disdain in Elizabeth Jackson’s eyes grew stronger. She
found that Lina was indeed someone too embarra**ing to show in public. She would even fuss over the price of a cup of coffee.
“Got it. Lead the way,” said Elizabeth Jackson.
Lina shrugged and led the way, trying to figure out what the marriage was all about.
In the coffee shop, Lina bluntly ordered a cup of expensive coffee for herself and listened to Elizabeth Jackson as she spoke in a superior tone. “I looked into you. You’re just a designer in a small design firm from an ordinary family background. Don’t you think you’re unworthy of Hadwin?”
“Would I date him if I felt that way?” Lina said as she curled her lips.
Elizabeth Jackson was stunned by Lina’s words. “You…”
“By the way, what’s your family background and what do you do?” asked Lina. After all, one would prevail in every battle if one knew oneself and one’s enemy.
“I’m the daughter of the boss of Four Seas Property, and I’m also the marriage partner decided by the Stephenson family.
Soon, Hadwin and I will be engaged and then married.
Therefore, if you’re smart, you’d better leave before things get embarra**ing,” said Elizabeth Jackson as she raised her chin.
Lina blinked her eyes. She took out her phone and started searching for Four Seas Property.
Seeing this, Elizabeth Jackson almost had an impulse to faint.
‘Is this woman telling me through her actions that she hasn’t heard of Four Seas Property?’
Elizabeth Jackson felt like she had been slapped in the face.
She thought Lina would be shocked to hear her mention Four
Seas Property, but instead… she was looking it up on the search engine.
After reading the online introduction of Four Seas Property, Lina smiled. “Okay, I know your background, but you said that you’re the marriage partner decided by the Stephenson family and you and Hadwin will get engaged. That means you’re not engaged yet, are you? You’re the marriage partner decided by the first wife of the Stephenson family, but Hadwin Stephenson probably hasn’t decided yet. Therefore, you have nothing to do with him, do you?”
Lina did not believe Hadwin Stephenson would marry this woman at all. Somehow, she trusted Hadwin Stephenson.
‘Perhaps this is the so-called power of love!’ Lina thought to herself.
Elizabeth Jackson clenched her teeth with hatred as she glared at Lina. The woman was right. The marriage was decided by the Jackson family and the first wife of the
Stephenson family. Hadwin Stephenson never said yes!
“Then I… Ahem!” Lina coughed twice, raised her chin, and grinned at Elizabeth Jackson. “I’m Hadwin’s girlfriend. I’m official! So Miss Jackson, don’t you think it’s a bit ridiculous for you to tell me to leave Hadwin?”
Elizabeth Jackson snorted coldly, thinking Lina was deliberately putting on a show. She went straight to the point and said, “How much money do you want for you to leave
Hadwin Stephenson?”
Lina’s eyes lit up. ‘Damn, I never expected the scenario in novels and TV dramas where people use money to get rid of someone to actually happen to me one day!
However… she was the one that was being rid of.
“Are you going to give me money?” asked Lina.
Elizabeth Jackson mistakenly thought Lina’s eyes had lit up because of money. She sneered in her heart. ‘She’s indeed a money-hungry woman!”
“Is five million enough?” asked Elizabeth Jackson.
However, she looked disgusted. “Only five million? Is Hadwin only worth five million? Five million is only enough to buy a house in Emerald City, and it’s probably less than 100 square meters in a rather remote area.”
“Then how much do you want?” asked Elizabeth Jackson as she clenched her teeth.
“Isn’t hundreds of millions of dollars falling from the sky all the rage these days?” asked Lina.
Elizabeth Jackson almost fainted. The woman in front of her was not the miserable and gullible person she expected. She was simply someone extremely greedy.
Even if she pooled all the Jackson family’s cash, she could not raise hundreds of millions of dollars all at once!
“Lina, are you fooling me?” Elizabeth Jackson clenched her teeth. Her eyes, covered with mascara and eye shadow, glared at Lina angrily.
Lina said, “Aren’t you humiliating me by asking me to leave Hadwin for five million? Of course, one of your plans is that you’ll give me money to leave, and the other, you’ll pretend to say yes and record our conversation. Then, you’ll find a chance to show it to Hadwin so that he’ll think I’m a money-hungry woman and our relationship will be ruined.”
Lina glanced at Elizabeth Jackson’s phone that was on the table as she spoke. However, the phone’s back was facing up. The screen was glued to the table, the opposite of how a normal person would place their phone.
“I think you’re going with the second plan, aren’t you, Miss Jackson?” asked Lina.
Elizabeth Jackson stiffened, her face turning red.
She was indeed going to do what Lina said. She was not even going to give her the five million. She only intended to make Hadwin Stephenson get rid of the woman in front of her.
However, she did not expect her to be so meticulous and even correctly guessed her intention.
Just then, Lina’s phone rang. She took out her phone and saw an incoming call from Hadwin Stephenson, so she pressed the answer button.
“Where are you?” Hadwin Stephenson’s gentle voice came from the phone.
“I’m negotiating with the daughter of the boss of Four Seas Property, whom the Stephenson family has chosen to marry you,” said Lina.
“Negotiating?” Hadwin Stephenson was stunned and got nervous immediately. “That woman came to see you? Did she do anything to you?”
“She’s trying to gain something for nothing. She said she’s going to pay me to leave you, but she never planned to give me a dime,” said Lina.
Elizabeth Jackson’s delicately painted face was distorted when she heard that. ‘Lina doesn’t play by the rules. I’ll only make a bigger fool of myself if I stay!”
Elizabeth Jackson got up angrily. She gave Lina a look that said ‘You’ll regret this’ and left the table without saying a word.
Lina was still on the phone. She shouted as soon as she saw
Elizabeth Jackson leave, “Don’t forget to pay for the coffee.”
Elizabeth Jackson staggered a little, then steadied herself and continued to walk toward the cashier not far away.
“What’s the matter?” asked Hadwin Stephenson, who was on the other end of the line.
