Grace had no idea how long she had been running, and even though she ran as hard as she could, the car eventually disappeared from her view.
Overwhelming despair fell upon her! ‘Who else? Who else can.
save Lina?’
She stood blankly on the streets, feeling as if everything around her was turning gray and dark.
“Who? Who can save Lina?’
She could even give up her life as long as she could save Lina!
Jason’s face emerged in her mind.
Her body suddenly trembled. It was as if hope had sprung up in her eyes that were originally full of despair!
There was… Jason! Jason hated her now, but… for Lina’s sake, she would give it a go anyway.
Grace arrived at Reed Group’s entrance. Reed Group’s office.
hours started at nine o’clock, but it was only after eight now.
She just stayed at the door and waited quietly. The security guard at the entrance dared not say anything after seeing his boss bring
Grace into the company the day before.
‘Who knows what this woman has to do with the president? Anyhow, she can stand here all she wants!”
She had no idea how much time had pa**ed. Fewer and fewer employees entered the building. Suddenly, a familiar black car pulled up and Grace’s eyes lit up.
This was… Jason’s car!
Sure enough, the car stopped and Jason got out. When he saw Grace, he stopped in his tracks as his eyes fell on her.
“I… I have something to ask of you,” she said dryly. She had not. taken a sip of water since the night before, and now her mouth.
was terribly dry.
“You’re here for me?” The cold voice rang faintly, and there was a touch of sarcasm in it. “Is your memory too bad, or do you not. take my words seriously? You deliberately show up in front of me today when I told you yesterday never to appear before me again.”
Grace leaped forward and grabbed Jason’s arm tightly with both hands. “I know you don’t want to see me again, but… I beg you, lend me two million dollars, okay? I’ll pay you back. I’ll pay you back with interest. I really need the money!”
“Two million?” He frowned slightly. Her so-called ‘request”
surprised him, and the sarcasm in his eyes intensified. “What’s the matter? Brian won’t even give you two million dollars that you have to come here to beg from me?”
Grace’s face turned pale immediately. She was already pale, but now it looked as if there was no color in her face at all. Her lips.
quivered, but for some time, she did not utter a word.
He looked at her calmly. “It seems I got it right. Brian won’t give you two million dollars.”
He lifted his hand and pulled hers away from his sleeve as he spoke, “But what makes you think I’m going to lend you two million dollars? Do you think you and I are close enough for you to borrow two million dollars from me?”
Her hand was pulled away from his arm.
“Grace, it was you who asked me to let you go and trampled my feelings for you to the ground. Yesterday, it was also you who said you didn’t regret it! In that case, you need not ask me for anything now. It’s my greatest mercy that you can still stand in front of me. like this!” With that, he walked into the building as if he did not want to look at her again.
Grace stood frozen to the spot, her face looking bitter.
‘Mercy… Yeah, I rejected his feelings without leaving him any room. I embarra**ed him, so to speak.’
It was indeed his mercy that she could stand here!
‘However… If I can’t get two million dollars, what’s going to happen to Lina? The money for Lina’s surgery and the money for her stay in the ICU… Is Lina going to wake up without a home?
‘Even… Even if they did sell the Sweeney family’s house, will the money be enough for Lina’s medical expenses?”
Grace only felt her heart sinking as she thought of it….
In the president’s office, Terrence looked at his boss’ gloomy expression and his heart was full of fear.
Who would have thought that Grace would come to Master Reed again this morning?
However, he did not know what was going on in Master Reed’s mind. If he had no feelings for Grace, he could have just ignored her instead of dragging her into the office yesterday.
Therefore, Terrence could only say tentatively, “Master Reed, well… Miss Cummins is still standing outside the company.”
“Let her stand if she wants to stand,” Jason said coldly.
Terrence immediately stopped talking. ‘Does Master Reed not care about Grace anymore?’ However, what Jason said next stunned Terrence.
“Go and find out why she wants to borrow two million dollars,”
said Jason.
“Yes,” Terrence quickly replied and got out of the office.
Jason was once again the only one left in the large president’s office. He walked to the French window and looked down at the figure still standing at the building’s entrance.
From this angle, he could see only faint specks, but he could still make out which figure belonged to her.
It was strange. Even though he kept telling himself not to pay any more attention to this woman, he just could not stop himself.
Even the thought of her pale, haggard face and her body, which was almost unsteady, made him worry!
‘What am I worried about? What is there to worry about?’ Jason said to himself in his heart that Grace only came here because of something that had happened between her and Brian that he refused to give her two million dollars.
He curled his lips in self-mockery. Since when did Jason become the next best thing?
If he were someone ordinary who could not afford two million dollars, she probably would not have come to him—not to mention glance at him! He would not even be second best!
‘Stop worrying about it!’ he scolded himself, but her figure, face, and her pleas kept recurring to him. He felt a twinge of pain in his heart that made him unable to stop himself from raising his hand and pressing it against his heart.
‘Even now, can she still affect my emotions?’
His dark eyes grew even darker.
About half an hour later, Terrence walked into the president’s office and reported the investigation results to Jason. “Master Reed, the reason why Miss Cummins asked for two million dollars is probably that her friend Lina is hospitalized with serious injuries. The medical expenses are expected to exceed one million and will cost a lot more for recovery afterward.”
“Lina is seriously injured?” Jason was stunned. He naturally knew what Lina meant to Grace.
Not long after they first met, she had told him that Lina was her lifeline.
Therefore, for Lina’s sake, even though she had said yesterday that she did not regret it… She still showed up before him again. today to borrow money from him.
“Yes, Hadwin Stephenson is missing. Lina was found on the outskirts of a village near Emerald City and was taken to a hospital in tMason Swansonty. But the police haven’t found out the cause of Lina’s serious injuries,” reported Terrence.
“Do you know what happened between her and Brian?” asked Jason. After all, it was only two million dollars. Given how much Brian cared about Grace, there was no way he would reject her.
Even… Forget about two million dollars. Even if it was two billion dollars, Brian would find a way to give it to Grace!
