Chapter 615 – The Scarlet Vengeance: Justice of a Framed Beauty Novel (Grace & Jason)

Filed To Story: The Scarlet Vengeance: Justice of a Framed Beauty Novel (Grace & Jason)

Hadwin Stephenson became the final winner in this war!

However, the news report also said something about the Stephenson family and the Jackson family intending to merge through marriage and that their companies might also merge in the future.

Kyla Corbyn was shocked. ‘The Stephenson family and the

Jackson family are merging through marriage… Does that mean Hadwin Stephenson is going to marry someone from the Jackson family? After all, if the two sons of the Stephenson family’s first wife are in prison, then Hadwin Stephenson is the only person who can marry!

However, if that was the case, what about Lina?

Kyla Corbyn could not help but feel anxious and worried at the thought of Lina!

However, there was nothing she could do about it, so she could only call Grace’s number.

“Grace, I just saw the news and it said Hadwin Stephenson has shown up. The Stephenson family is… even going to merge with the Jackson family through marriage. Is this true?” Kyla Corbyn asked urgently.

Grace replied, “It’s true. At least what they’ve reported seems to be true. But I still have to ask Hadwin Stephenson in person what’s going on! Keep this from Lina. I’ve also told her parents not to tell her until we find out what’s going on.”

“Okay, got it!” replied Kyla Corbyn.

After ending the call, Grace looked at Jason and said, “I want to meet Hadwin Stephenson in person and ask him what on earth is going on!”

“But you’re not in the right shape to travel long distances. Neither transportation modes, plane or train, are convenient for you,” said Jason.

“But… that’s Hadwin Stephenson. Lina has been thinking about him from the moment she woke up!” Grace panicked.

She had found out about the news earlier than Kyla Corbyn, and she also knew how true the news was.

At least, the Jackson family and the Stephenson family did have plans to merge their businesses together.

Usually, the surest way for a business merger was through marriage!

Besides, Hadwin Stephenson was indeed intimate with the Jackson family’s ‘real’ heiress. The Jackson family’s heiress had held Hadwin Stephenson’s arm and accompanied him into Stephenson Group’s shareholders meeting!

Jason looked at Grace’s anxious expression and could not help sighing. “Lina is always so important to you.”

“I wouldn’t be where I am if it wasn’t for her!” said Grace.

Jason’s eyes glimmered a little. This was true. She would not have asked him for help if Lina had not been seriously injured. Naturally, she would also not have agreed to marry him so easily at that time.

“Okay, I’ll think of a way to get Hadwin Stephenson to come to Emerald City so that you don’t have to travel between two cities,” said Jason.

“What if he won’t come to Emerald City?” asked Grace.

“He’ll come. I’ll tie him up and bring him to Emerald City even if he refuses,” he said with great certainty.

As long as it was her wish, he would help her realize it!

Two days later, Grace met up with Hadwin Stephenson. However, Hadwin Stephenson had come to Emerald City with the Jackson family’s heiress-Katherine Jackson.

Although Grace had seen photos of Katherine Jackson before, she found that the woman was indeed more stunning than the photos when she met her in person. It was as if she was born with an alluring temperament, making it easy for men to fall for her.

However… Hadwin Stephenson could not possibly be one of those men! She had seen Hadwin Stephenson’s love for Lina.

Would Hadwin Stephenson fall for Katherine Jackson? She wanted to hear Hadwin Stephenson’s answer anyway!

“Miss Jackson, I’d like to speak to Hadwin Stephenson alone. Is that alright?” asked Grace.

“Sorry, there’s no secret between Hadwin and me, so Mrs. Reed, you can say anything to our faces. If Hadwin can hear it, so can I,” Katherine Jackson said with a faint smile as she sat next to Hadwin Stephenson, seemingly casually pulling his hand and playing with his fingers.

Hadwin Stephenson did not stop Katherine Jackson from doing so.

Seeing this, Grace could not help narrowing her eyes. Her anxiety began to increase. “Okay. Hadwin Stephenson, I would like to ask you how on earth Lina got hurt?”

“Lina’s injury probably had something to do with my two half-brothers who are from a different mother. The police have taken my statement about everything I know. Grace, you can ask the police if you really want to know,” said Hadwin

Stephenson.

Grace naturally knew the contents of the statement, but

Hadwin Stephenson’s two brothers only admitted that they had indeed kidnapped Lina to threaten Hadwin Stephenson,

As a result, Lina was accidentally seriously injured in the kidnapping process and they left her in a barren mountain. However, they had no idea why Lina appeared near Emerald City with serious injuries.

“Didn’t you do anything when Lina was kidnapped?” asked Grace.

Hadwin Stephenson said lightly, “I wanted to save her, but unfortunately, I wasn’t able to. I didn’t know that my two brothers had left her in a barren mountain.”

Grace looked at Hadwin Stephenson who was in front of her. His expression was indifferent when he talked about Lina as if he was just talking about an ordinary person, rather than the woman he loved deeply. His eyes… did not even contain any emotion.

‘How can he do that? Lina loves him so much! But how can Hadwin Stephenson… talk about Lina so indifferently?

‘Doesn’t he know that Lina almost died?’

As if sensing her anger at the moment, a large hand gently covered hers, which also made Grace shudder and come to her senses.

‘It’s Jay’s hand!’ She looked at Jason who was sitting beside her, and her mood gradually calmed down.

Jason said to Grace, “Alright, let me ask the questions now.” With that, he looked at Hadwin Stephenson and said, “President Stephenson, do you know that Lina was found in a small village near Emerald City?”

“Is that so? Then she was lucky,” Hadwin Stephenson said casually.

“Yes, she was lucky enough to be found immediately and taken to the hospital. However, perhaps her luck had run out. According to the doctor, she was declared to be in a critical condition several times. She had only recently regained her senses. But yesterday, her doctor suddenly said she’s in critical condition again. She’ll probably be in a vegetative state forever even if she survives.”

Jason spoke slowly. His tone seemed like he was just talking about regular news.

However, Hadwin Stephenson’s expression changed suddenly. He got up immediately. “How can it be?”

“Does it surprise you?” Jason smiled. “After all, the news that the Stephenson family and the Jackson family will be merging through marriage has spread all over the internet. Everyone must have seen the news by now, and Lina is no exception. But you still seem to care about Lina, President Stephenson?”

Hadwin Stephenson seemed to realize that he had gotten too agitated just now. He glared at Jason and did not say anything for a moment.

Katherine Jackson frowned and gently parted her red lips with some displeasure, asking, “Hadwin, what’s come over you?”

Hadwin Stephenson pressed his lips together and sat down again. “Nothing.”

Jason continued saying, “Of course, President Stephenson, you can go to the hospital and see Lina if you’re interested. Maybe you can see her for the last time.”

His words made Hadwin Stephenson’s face even gloomier!

Grace naturally knew that Jason was trying to provoke Hadwin Stephenson to see whether he still cared about Lina.

It seemed that Hadwin Stephenson still cared about Lina. At least… he cared about Lina’s life and death!

‘Then why was Hadwin Stephenson acting so indifferent just a moment ago?’ Grace was full of confusion.

At this moment, Katherine Jackson said, “I don’t think that will be necessary. I know Lina was Hadwin’s ex-girlfriend, but now that Hadwin is dating me, I think it’s better to avoid any misunderstanding.”

As she spoke, Katherine Jackson even turned to Hadwin

Stephenson and said, “Hadwin, am I right?”

Hadwin Stephenson pursed his thin lips tightly. Those deep eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of black gauze. No one could tell what he was thinking.

Just then, Grace’s phone rang suddenly. Grace answered it, and Mrs. Sweeney’s crying voice sounded from the other end of the line. “Grace, Lina… Lina found out about… the news that the Stephenson family is about to merge with the Jackson family through marriage. She’s… She’s been agitated since then. What do we do? I’m afraid her agitation might affect her condition!”

Grace was stunned before instantly getting flustered. Jay had only wanted to force Hadwin Stephenson to reveal his true emotions, but things turned out exactly as what Jay said earlier. Lina now knew about the news. ‘How did that happen?’
