Emily Flowers made an impassioned speech at the press conference, saying that she must protect Stephenson Group, which was left by her late husband. Even though Hadwin Stephenson was her own son, she could not sit idly by and watch her son destroy the company.
In the office, Hadwin Stephenson looked coldly at the video of the press conference on the computer screen and smiled sarcastically.
deprive me of everything and find a new obedient pawn.
‘Is she trying to take my power and take control of Stephenson Group?
‘But she seems to have forgotten that I gave her that ten percent of shares. Since I could give it to her, I’ve thought of all possible consequences!
Lina, who was resting in Stephenson Residence, saw the press conference too. When Hadwin Stephenson came home, Lina said uneasily, “I’m sorry. You and your mother are in this state because of me.”
Although she disliked Emily Flowers, she was his mother, after all.
Hadwin Stephenson said, “You’re just a trigger. Even without you, my mother and I would have come to this point sooner or later.”
There was a look of confusion in her eyes.
He said sarcastically, “To my mother, I’m just a pawn for her to gain power and wealth. The most important thing for a pawn is to obey. If it stops obeying, she would need to get a new one.”
Lina’s face was full of shock, not expecting the mother and son’s relationship to be… this way. Although he seldom dating she thought he However, she felt a little heartbroken after the shock.
When they met in a foreign country, he looked like a simple young man to her, innocent and sunny. However, she never expected him to carry so many burdens.
“Alright, don’t look at me like that. It’s as if I’m pathetic.” Hadwin Stephenson looked at the woman before him, who seemed like she was about to burst into tears. He said, “I don’t mind being a pawn. Even if I’m going to be someone’s pawn someday, I’ll probably be willing.”
After so many years, he was used to having his mother treat him like a pawn. They had never been close anyway.
Even now, how was he not Lina’s pawn? Even though she said nothing, he was willing to fight for her. If she was going to use him one day, then… all she needed to do was ask him. He would be willing to do it.
The next moment, those slender arms were wrapped around him with such force that her melodious voice broke a little.
“You’re not a pawn. You’re you, not anyone’s pawn!”
Flowers had the upper hand. Many old shareholders holding Stephenson Group’s shares had expressed support for Emily Flowers.
Although Hadwin Stephenson held 35 percent of the shares, much more than Emily Flowers’s, if most of the shareholders were taking Emily Flowers’s side, Hadwin Stephenson was likely to lose.
Grace had been following the news these days.
After coming back from L City, she did not tell Jason that she had gone there. She had also told the children not to tell him. It was just a secret that belonged to them!
Jason did not ask any questions. It was as if she never took the children away for a few days.
“Do you think Hadwin Stephenson will win?” Grace asked Jason.
“I don’t know. You never know who will win until the last minute,” Jason said indifferently.
“If Hadwin Stephenson’s mother defeats him, should we give him a hand?” asked Grace. After all, Hadwin Stephenson and her best friend had gotten back together, so she wanted Hadwin Stephenson to win, of course.
“Did Lina ask you to help?” asked Jason.
Stephenson asked her not to worry.”
Jason smiled. “Since Hadwin Stephenson said so, he has a backup plan. You have nothing to worry about.”
Grace thought about it and agreed, so she said nothing more and got up to see if the children were asleep.
She had just gotten up when he grabbed her from behind. She could not even take her first step. She instantly fell into his arms.
“What’s the matter, Jay?” she asked.
“Did you miss me when you were gone?” His voice rang in her ears as his thin lips parted gently and sucked on her earlobe.
Grace instantly blushed as her ears burned. “I… I did miss you.” If it were not for their agreement about not telling him whenever she went to see Mrs. Watts, she probably would have video called him from time to time when she was in L City.
“How much did you miss me?” His lips ran down her ears, neck, and shoulders while his fingers unzipped her dress.
The dress she was wearing today had a zip at the back, which made it easier for him to undo her dress.
“I missed you very much… Don’t. I have to go to the children’s rooms and check on them. You’re…” Grace tried to pull the zipper back up again, but he stopped her as soon as her hand moved.
His lips seemed to be worshiping and kissing the fair skin on her back reverently and intently. If one looked closely, there were many fine scars that she had gotten from when she fell into the sea.
Although many years had passed, those scars still let him know how close she was to death.
Even though he hated Secretary Wang, he still felt grateful to him for one thing. At least, Secretary Wang had someone save Grace and their children in the end.
Therefore, he kept Secretary Wang alive and let him stay in prison for the rest of his life to atone for his sins.
“Fortunately, you’re alive…” Jason could not help muttering.
Grace trembled, knowing what he was referring to. “Is… Is my back ugly? It’s been years. Luckily, I just got some scars on my back and all three children are with us!”
Now that Mason had been found, she felt like she had no “No, you have a beautiful back… It’s the most beautiful to me!” he said because it was also proof that she loved him.
She loved him enough to risk her life to save him!
Jason kissed more intently, and Grace’s skin seemed to be stained with a touch of pink, making it look extremely gorgeous.
Suddenly, Jason carried her in his arms and walked to the nearby bed.
“Hey, wait, I want to…” Before she could finish, he lay her on the bed, pressed his hands on hers, and interlocked them.
He lowered his head and bent down, his beautiful face inches before her.
