It was as if those words were taboo for him.
“Katherine Jackson, it’s simple. It’s the law of the jungle. I was weak, and you were strong, so I had to do everything you wanted. Now, I’m strong, and you’re weak, so you have to suffer. I’ll never let go of anyone who hurt me,” said Hadwin Stephenson.
At that moment, Katherine Jackson only felt enveloped by jealousy. Compared to her hatred for Hadwin Stephenson, she hated Lina more.
Hadwin Stephenson never let go of anyone who hurt him, but Lina was the only one who could still enjoy her life and even get pregnant with Hadwin Stephenson’s child after hurting. /him!
‘Who is Lina to have that? How is this woman better than me?’
Katherine Jackson said coldly, “I spent a bomb on hiring these men. They’re cold-blooded mercenaries. They know nothing about being gentle.”
She gave the man standing beside Lina a look as she spoke.
That man immediately raised his hand to slap Lina.
Lina’s cheek swelled up instantly, and Katherine Jackson was smug. “Lina, I have your life in my hands now. You’ll live or die as I wish!”
Lina’s eyes widened with pain as she said, “Even if I die, you’re probably just going to end up in a worse state after the police catch you. Katherine Jackson, I do have some bad blood with you, but not to the point of killing you!”
Lina tried her best to calm down. She knew that Katherine Jackson had Grace and her in her hands. She could not trigger her. Besides, she had a baby in her belly!
“Even though we were rivals in love, I’ve already broken up with Hadwin Stephenson and won’t have any contact with him. His feelings for me may not be that sincere anyway. Why are you so hell-bent on me?”
However, after she finished speaking, Katherine Jackson suddenly laughed and looked at Lina like she was looking at an idiot. “Why did Hadwin Stephenson fall in love with a fool like you? Do you know why I’m hell-bent on you? It’s because you matter so much to Hadwin Stephenson, so I’m getting back at him in this way. I think it’ll turn out well. I’d like to see the expression on Hadwin Stephenson’s face when he learns that I’ve killed you and the baby in your belly!”
The more Katherine Jackson went on, the more insane and twisted her expression became.
Lina only felt a chill surging up her body. Katherine Jackson simply wanted her to die!
Also… “What do you mean that I matter so much to Hadwin Stephenson? What do you mean by that?”
Katherine Jackson’s eyes were full of sarcasm as she looked at Lina. “Do you think Hadwin Stephenson broke up with you just because he wanted the Stephenson family?” She initially thought so as well, but later, she realized Hadwin Stephenson did everything for Lina.
“Didn’t… he?” Lina asked arduously, only thinking something was about to upend what she had always known.
“You almost died when Hadwin Stephenson found you after his two brothers hurt you. He knelt and kowtowed in front of me as he held you, asking me to save you! Do you have any idea how pitiful he looked back then? It’s a pity you didn’t see it. Tsk, tsk!”
Katherine Jackson’s every word and sentence seemed to prick Lina nerves. ‘Did… something like this happen? But Hadwin Stephenson never told me about it!’
“Afterward, I saved you as he wished and kept you alive for a while. I left you on the outskirts of Emerald City, but I wanted him to cut off ties with you from then on. The man I had my eye on couldn’t be attached to another woman. Hence, I put a curse on him. It took me a lot of effort to get it from an old Hmong man. I fed the blood curse bug your blood and let him swallow it. Hence, he would experience a heart-wrenching pain whenever he touched you.”
Katherine Jackson’s eyes glimmered evilly. She had bad intentions by telling Lina the truth. She just wanted to see Lina in pain and regret!
“Lina, Hadwin Stephenson experienced horrific bouts of pain every time he touched you. He struck a deal with me afterward, asking me to get rid of the blood curse in his body so he could spend his life with you. But you didn’t believe that he was loyal to you and you mattered more to him than anyone or anything!”
Katherine Jackson said grimly. She was jealous of Lina, and she showed a satisfied smile on her face when she saw Lina almost breaking down.
Katherine Jackson said, “Lina, you’re a fool. If you weren’t stupid enough to force Hadwin Stephenson away, I wouldn’t have been able to catch you so easily! Don’t worry. Hadwin Stephenson will learn from the news on TV that something has happened to you! And… I can’t wait to see the expression on his face!”
Lina paled as tears blurred her eyes.
She… had no idea! She had no idea Hadwin had done so much for her.
She had always thought that his career was more important to him and that she was only there to spice up his life. It would be nice to have her around, but he could also easily abandon her for his career one day.
However, she never thought that he truly loved her.
It turned out he had to suffer such pain every time he touched her. It turned out that was what he meant by giving him more time!
However, she never really listened to him.
When he said that he had always loved her and wanted to be with her, she just wanted to protect herself from being hurt, so she repeatedly rejected him.
Even when he came to the hospital and asked her if she regretted cutting all ties with him, she said no!
‘How did he feel back then?’
Lina wanted to slap herself hard as she thought of it!
‘How could I… hurt him like that?’
Grace was also shocked to hear all of this. Her face was full of surprise. She did not expect so many twists and turns in Hadwin Stephenson and Lina’s breakup. Five years later, Hadwin Stephenson took down the Jackson family and got rid of his blood curse, thinking he could finally get back together with Lina. However, she unexpectedly wanted to draw a line with him.
Grace recalled the time she went to the airport to meet Hadwin Stephenson before he left Emerald City. Hadwin Stephenson’s eyes were so indifferent at that time. He must have been so hurt.
Grace looked at her best friend who was in tears. She knew how miserable Lina must feel when she loved Hadwin Stephenson so much.
The only fortunate thing was that Lina never aborted the baby in her belly. It was Lina and Hadwin Stephenson’s baby!
However, Katherine Jackson’s voice rang in Grace’s ears as she was deep in thought. “Lina, this wouldn’t have happened to if it weren’t for you. I’m going to give Hadwin Stephenson an amazing gift!”
me Katherine Jackson said to her men as she spoke, “Give her a good beating. By the way, focus on her stomach!”
Katherine Jackson took out her phone and tapped on the camera, wanting to film the scene.
Lina felt her blood freezing. She immediately understood Katherine Jackson’s intention.
She did not care if Katherine Jackson wanted to hurt her, but she would not let anything happen to the child. It was her and Hadwin’s baby!
She was the baby’s mother!
However, Lina’s hands and feet were tied. She could not protect her stomach!
Watching their fists aim for her stomach, her mind almost went blank as tears kept gushing out of her eyes.
Then, there was a bang.
