Chapter 302
Grace quickly fastened her seat belt and watched with some
wonder as Jason pulled the car away from Reed Residence. He drove in the direction where Hadwin Stephenson was said to be
Was he taking her there?
However, his face was livid right now. His thin lips were tightly pressed together, and his eyes seemed dark and hazy, signifying his displeasure.
Grace opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but she was afraid that if she said anything now, she would annoy him
even more. That would be bad.
In the end, nothing was said.
Now, the most important thing was to see Lina and find out what
was going on.
‘Then I shall wait for Jason’s anger to subside before… thanking him,’ Grace thought to herself.
When their car got to Crescent Bay, security stopped them.
“Tell Hadwin Stephenson that Jason wants to see him. Ask him whether he’s going to meet us,” Jason said, straight to the point.
Besides, even if the security guards did not recognize Jason,
the Bentley he was driving was recognizable to those who knew.
about cars. It was a car that cost nearly ten million dollars. It was beyond the reach of the average person.
Therefore, one of the guards started contacting their captain….
Now, in the mansion at Crescent Bay, Lina Sweeney was staring anxiously at the man in front of her. She had no idea that he would
drag her into the car in broad daylight and confiscate her phone. before turning it off.
It went without saying that Lina Sweeney could imagine how anxious her best friend would be right now, but she could not
even call Grace.
Right now, she had no access to her phone at all.
Plus, her parents might be trying to get a hold of her too. If they called her and found her phone to be switched off, her parents
would probably be worried.
She was now as anxious as a cat on hot bricks while the mant
seemed to enjoy watching her in a panic.
Lina Sweeney’s heart suddenly ached when she saw his
expression. That was not how he looked at her back in the day.
Back then, he clung on to her just like a little cute puppy. He
would always give a shy and uneasy smile, scratch his head in
embarra**ment, and pull at her clothes, acting as cute as an
innocent
child.
However, now… She had not seen him for more than three years.
He was almost unrecognizable to her now. Though it was the
same face and though his features still looked like it was made by God, his aura had completely changed. It was like a cute puppy dog… that had turned into a little bad wolf.
Uh, no. A big bad wolf!
“Can I have my phone back? I need to call my friend and my parents.” Lina Sweeney once again repeated what she had said many times before.
He, however, gave a half-smile and asked, “Are you in a hurry?”
Loving the story thus far. However, It is tiring, and at times annoying. to have to read the full names of characters over and over again, especially when the characters are already established. Case in point, Lina’s full name, in this chapter alone, is repeated 4 times. Just first name would do. Also Hadwin’s full name is repeated many times within these couple of chapters. Not needing to be reminded repetitively that Grace is an ex-convict, that is the main plot of the story.
