“Miss Jackson? She’s different. Mr. Stephenson has been waiting for Miss Jackson!” the security guard said with a smile and looked at Lina a little contemptuously. Compared to the luxury brands Katherine Jackson wore, Lina’s clothes looked much cheaper.
“Yes, Miss Jackson has been coming here a lot lately. Probably once or twice a week,” the other security guard said.
“It probably won’t be long before they get back together. After all, they dated for so many years.”
“That’s right. Miss Jackson spends the night every time she comes. I think they may hold a press conference soon.”
The two security guards chatted casually, but their words were pouring into Lina’s ears, making her body grow cold.
‘She comes once or twice a week, and each time, she spends the night in the mansion?
‘Hadwin Stephenson said he has never loved Katherine Jackson, but he’s letting her stay in his mansion. What did he mean when he said he has something important to tell me?
‘Is he going to tell me that something’s going on between him and Katherine Jackson?
‘Did he say he was going to marry me just because I’m pregnant? Or have I always just been a backup?’
When he had a falling out with the Jackson family before, he had given her his affection. However, he had now gotten back together with Katherine Jackson when he had some business dealings with the Jackson family?
The two security guards looked at Lina’s pale and dazed appearance. One of them advised, “You should leave, and stop dreaming about things. There aren’t many ordinary people who can join a rich family. Miss Jackson has always been the one Mr. Stephenson cares about the most. Otherwise, after Miss Jackson’s scandal, how could he “Oh, watch your mouth. Don’t talk nonsense. If Mr.
Stephenson knows you’re gossiping behind his back, you may lose your job.” The other security guard reminded him.
Therefore, the security guard who advised Lina earlier shut his mouth and stopped speaking.
The two security guards now seemed to ignore Lina.
Lina only felt as if her body was getting colder and colder.
She seemed to have forgotten that she wanted to see Hadwin Stephenson and what she wanted to tell him. Her mind went blank.
Lina got back to her car step by step, but instead of starting the car to leave, she looked in the direction of the mansion.
‘Maybe… Katherine Jackson just went in for a while. Or maybe Stephenson Group and the Jackson family have some unfinished business…
Lina kept coming up with all kinds of reasons for Katherine Jackson going into the mansion, but as time went by, it became more and more difficult to convince herself.
When her phone rang, she saw that it was her mother. Her eyes instantly welled with tears.
“Mom.” She picked up the phone, trying hard to make her voice sound normal.
“It’s late. Why aren’t you home yet?” asked Mrs. Sweeney.
“I’m… sleeping over at Grace’s today. I want to talk to her a little longer. I haven’t talked to her for a long time,” said Lina.
“Aren’t you afraid you’ll disturb her?”
“Grace won’t think I’m disturbing her. Mom, I… I gotta hang up. I’ll go straight to the office tomorrow and go home at night.” With that said, Lina hurriedly ended the call. She was afraid her mother would notice something if she went on.
After ending the phone call, Lina took a deep breath, put one hand on her stomach, and looked at the mansion again.
She did not go home but stayed in the car. Maybe she wanted an answer-an answer that would tell her what to do!
‘Hadwin Stephenson, Hadwin Stephenson!’
She kept repeating the name in her head. How sincere was he to her? She had instantly fallen for him when he affectionately called out her name.
She felt as if the time between them had never pa**ed. They were still the same people, loving each other wholeheartedly!
She thought they could start over. She thought she could take a chance.
However, she was slapped in the face by the cruel reality even before she took the chance.
In the mansion, Hadwin Stephenson’s handsome face was distorted because of the pain. He knelt on the floor. His fingers were clenched as he constantly clawed at the floor. Roars of pain kept escaping from his throat.
He looked like a mess. Who would believe that he was the charming president of Stephenson Group?
‘I want to live. I must hold on. Once I get through tonight, Lina and I can be together again!
‘Lina and I will have a wonderful future!
‘After tonight… After tonight…!
Katherine Jackson looked coldly at Hadwin Stephenson who was in pain. Even though the man who made her a laughing stock and ruined the Jackson family was in so much pain at this moment, she did not feel happy about it.
What she felt was loss.
The man was willing to endure this inhuman pain because of Lina! This blood curse was only against Lina. If he had been willing to choose any other woman in the world, he would not have to endure the pain of lifting the blood curse. However, he would rather risk death so that he could be with Lina!
What about her? All these years had been for nothing!
‘What’s so good about Lina that a man like Hadwin Stephenson would do so much for her? The woman’s plain and ordinary. She never did anything special, did she?’
“Hadwin Stephenson, is Lina worth suffering for? She doesn’t even know you’re suffering!” Katherine Jackson walked up to Hadwin Stephenson, crouched down, and said, “If you can’t make it through tonight, you’ll die. Even if you die, she probably won’t shed a tear for you. She’ll always think of you as the man who abandoned her.”
It was as if triggering him in this way would make her feel better.
Hadwin Stephenson raised his head with difficulty due to the pain. His eyes seemed dazed, but he was still gasping. He said with an extremely hoarse voice, “If I… die, the Jackson family… can’t live either. I don’t need you to judge… how much I… suffer for Lina…”
As long as it was for Lina, why would it not be worth it?
Lina was already his everything!
Lina had no idea how long she stayed in the car. She only saw the sky brighten up, and her heart sank until it reached the deep bottomless abyss.
‘Is it… dawn?’
Katherine Jackson had spent the night in his mansion.
Hadwin Stephenson and Katherine Jackson spent the night in the mansion while she and the baby in her belly stayed outside all night!
Finally, the mansion’s gate opened. Lina saw Katherine Jackson come out. She was still wearing the clothes from last night and looked tired.
The security guard at the gate helped Katherine Jackson drive her car over and watched her leave respectfully.
When Katherine Jackson drove by Lina’s car, Katherine Jackson’s eyes met Lina’s.
Surprise flickered in Katherine Jackson’s eyes, but a smile soon appeared on the corners of her lips. It was as if she was glancing at Lina contemptuously before she left.
Lina just thought her chest felt stuffy. The look in Katherine Jackson’s eyes seemed to confirm her speculation!
She picked up her phone, wanting to call Hadwin Stephenson. However, the moment she picked up her phone, she paused.
‘What’s there to ask? What else is there to ask? Katherine Jackson coming out from Hadwin Stephenson’s mansion at this hour is already the best proof.
‘Is this the important thing Hadwin Stephenson wanted to tell me? It’s indeed… important!’
Maybe she should be glad Katherine Jackson had gone into the mansion first. Otherwise, last night would have been the most embarra**ing time of her life.
