Chapter 785
‘I want to forget about him and this
relationship from the bottom of my heart.
From now on, I want to forget about the
man named Jay. Emerald City only has
Jason!’
Having made her wish, Grace slowly opened her eyes and looked at the burning candle before blowing the flame
out.
“I’ll cut the cake,” she said as she cut
three slices of cake and gave them to
Lina Sweeney, Hadwin Stephenson, and
herself.
Picking up the cake, Grace ate it
mouthful by mouthful.
The cake… should be sweet, but it tasted
so bitter in her mouth.
After eating the cake, Lina Sweeney cleaned it up. She planned to stay,
but Grace said, “You don’t need to
accompany me. I want to be alone and have a good rest.”
Lina Sweeney hesitated a little before saying, “Alright then. Have a good rest! I’ll see you tomorrow.”
“Yes.” Grace nodded. Looking at her best
friend’s worried expression, she smiled
again and said, “Lina, I’m fine.”

This smile made Lina Sweeney feel even more bitter.
After leaving the hotel, Lina Sweeney
got into Hadwin Stephenson’s car with a frown on her face.
“What’s the matter? Still worried about
your friend?” asked Hadwin Stephenson.
“Can I not worry? She said she’s alright,
but how could she be alright? How could
she be alright?” Lina Sweeney was more
dissatisfied with Jason as she thought of
She even thought Jason was great. Now, she just wanted to slap herself hard!
Chapter 785
“Take me to Reed Residence. I want to
see Jason!” Lina Sweeney said angrily.
“Now?” Hadwin Stephenson raised his
eyebrows slightly.
“Yes, now! If it’s inconvenient for you, I’ll
take a taxi myself,” said Lina Sweeney,
about to open the door and get out.
He grabbed her arm and said, “It’s not inconvenient, but… are you mentally
prepared for it? You’re going to get justice for your friend and stand up for her, but you might offend Jason by doing
so.”
“Then I’ll just offend him. I’m only a small
citizen. What’s there to be afraid of?”
Lina Sweeney trembled with anger at the
thought of Grace’s forced smiles.
Hadwin Stephenson said nothing more
and started his car, driving toward Reed
Residence.
The night was dark. At Reed Residence’s
entrance, Lina Sweeney banged the gate desperately and pressed the doorbell, shouting to the inside, “Come out! Ask Jason to come out! I want to ask him
something!”
No matter how noisy or how loud she
was, Jason did not come out. Instead, a group of Reed Residence’s security guards came out, warning Lina Sweeney
that if she did not leave, they would
report her to the police directly.
Therefore, Hadwin Stephenson pulled
Lina Sweeney into the car. “Do it some
other day. If you really want to see Jason
and say a few words for Grace, then I’ll
find you a chance.”
Lina Sweeney was stunned and stared
somewhat blankly at the man in front
of her. Suddenly, she came back to her
senses. He had taken her here to see
Jason. If Jason did show up and got his head bit off by her, then she would have offended Jason. However, what about him? He would have offended Jason too.
“Are you going to find me a chance to
prer
scold Jason? Have you ever thought that
by doing this, you’d be offending Jason
too?”
“So what?” He chuckled. “I’ve prepared myself for that by accompanying you
here today.”
