Chapter 894
[I’m alright. Hadwin Stephenson took me to his mansion for a night’s rest.] Lina was embarra**ed to say that she had ‘slept’ with Hadwin Stephenson again.
During breakfast, Hadwin Stephenson had said in all seriousness, “You’ve done it to me again. You’re dead meat if you don’t take responsibility.”
She was speechless. ‘Don’t women suffer more? I should be the one to say these.’
“Will
you take responsibility?” he asked as he stared at her.
“Uh… Sure.” She nodded her head under
his intense gaze.
Lina felt speechless yet sweet as she
thought about what happened this
morning. ‘It feels pretty good that
Hadwin Stephenson is forcing me to take
responsibility!’
After chatting with Grace for a short
while, Lina put away her phone, turned
on the computer at her desk, and got ready to work.
On the other hand, Grace had put away her phone and was lost in thought as she looked at the case files spread out on her
desk.
In the afternoon, Lawyer Carter asked
Grace to sort out the information about
the accident, especially the questionable
points.
“Go see the witness Chase Harper and verify the questionable points he said the other day. Then get him to sign to show that he willingly expressed them. I’ve talked to the police, but it would be hard to re-open the case for investigation. However, they’re going to look at it
again, so that’s good news,” said Lawyer
Carter.
‘That’s indeed good news!’ thought Grace, hoping that the police could find
new strong evidence and re-open the
case for investigation.
Grace then sorted out the information
and set out for Chase Harper’s dealership.
The dealership was actually small and
remote, so Grace had to take two buses
to get there.
When she arrived at the car dealership,
she only saw Chase Harper talking with
a staff member. He was pointing at the parts of a car beside him from time to
time, using some jargon.
Chase Harper had a serious expression
on his face right now, which was completely different from the shy and
honest person he usually was. He indeed
looked like a director.
Even ordinary people could impress
others when they were doing something
they were good at.
Chase Harper only noticed Grace after he was done talking to the staff. He immediately scratched his neck shyly
and said, “I… I was so focused on my
work that I didn’t notice you. I’m sorry. I…
I’ll make you some tea!”
Grace said, “No thanks. I’m not thirsty.
Besides, I’m the one disturbing you.”
“No, no!” Chase Harper welcomed Grace into his office and poured her a cup of
tea.
Grace looked around the small office.
Although it was small and had a lot of
things, she could see that Chase Harper probably spent a lot of time here. There
was also a folding bed in the room.
