Ch. 1481..1490
My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict Chapter 1481-‘Grace wants to have dinner with me on Chinese New Year’s Eve.
That means she won’t leave me, right?’ Knock, knock! Suddenly there was a knock on the door.
“Come in,” said Jason.
Terrence walked in and said to Jason, “Master Reed, Lily has escaped!” Jason’s expression changed instantly, and his black eyes stared at Terrence. “What happened?” “According to the police, Lily escaped at around three in the morning. The detention center’s surveillance system was hacked, so it didn’t capture anything at that time. We don’t know who helped Lily escape,” said Terrence.
Jason was silent. ‘Is it the Atkinson family? Or the Stevens family? Or a crazy but competent fan of Lily’s? Or…’ “Keep an eye on the Atkinson family and the Stevens family. See what they’re up to. Also, keep looking for Secretary Wang. Whatever it takes, find him as soon as possible!” said Jason.
He could not rest easy until he found Secretary Wang. He kept feeling as if something was about to happen.
2/4 ‘Could Secretary Wang’s disappearance have something to do with Grandpa? Did Old Master Reed… order Secretary Wang to do something?’ He would only know once he found Secretary Wang.
When Chinese New Year’s Eve came, Grace finally saw Jason again.
He was wearing a black coat. His black hair was combed back, and his delicate features seemed more defined. There was an air of elegance around his tall and straight body, but the scarf and mittens he was wearing seemed to be a little out of place.
Grace recognized the scarf and mittens. She had knitted them for him a year before. She had taken apart an old sweater and knitted them into a scarf and a pair of mittens for him.
“What’s the matter? Why are you staring at me?” he asked as he walked up to her.
“No… Nothing. I’m just… surprised you’d wear the scarf and mittens,” said Grace. As soon as he approached her, she recalled what she had heard on the stairs that day.
She told herself to stop thinking about it!
3/4 “You knitted these for me. Of course, I’ll wear them,” he said as he took off his scarf, mittens, and coat.
His hand almost subconsciously wanted to touch her but stopped in mid-air. He hesitated for a moment before pulling it back to his side, saying, “Okay, get some rest while I prepare New Year’s Eve dinner.” “You?” Grace was stunned.
“The chefs are here too. I’ll just be helping a little,” he said. Although he could have prepared the entire New Year’s Eve dinner himself, his skills could not be compared to the chefs’. He could only help, but he would prepare the dessert.
Grace was a little stunned as she watched Jason walk into the kitchen, put on an apron, and roll up his sleeves. He began to prepare and cook with the chefs in the kitchen.
Her eyes instantly reddened.
‘He’s a good husband and will be a good father. Don’t I already know that? Don’t I?’ She sat on the couch in the living room, thinking about the times they had spent together.
When Jason walked out of the kitchen, he only saw Grace asleep on the couch, covered with a blanket.
Snapier 1401 4/4 The couch was large enough so she would not fall off in her sleep.
Besides, the caregiver was beside her.
My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict Chapter 1482-“How long has she been asleep?” Jason asked the caregiver nearby.
“An hour or so,” the caregiver replied.
Jason bent down, raised his hand, and gently touched Grace’s cheek.
It was only at a time like this when he could touch her. Or else, she would throw up again when she was awake because of her body’s resistance to him.
The caregiver’s eyes could not help but flash with shock.
She was assigned to take care of Mrs. Reed but had never seen Master Reed before this. She had always thought that Mrs. Reed probably only got to join the Reed family because she was pregnant and Master Reed did not care about Young Madam at all.
However, the situation now made the caregiver a little dumbfounded.
Master Reed looked like he cared a lot about Young Madam! He was so careful in touching her as if he was touching a rare treasure.
Suddenly, Grace’s eyelashes fluttered a little. She opened her eyes in a daze. When she caught sight of Jason’s face, she murmured, “Jay…” He immediately stiffened but had already subconsciously withdrawn his hand.
2/4 “I’m sorry I woke you. Go back to sleep if you’re still sleepy,” he said.
“No, I won’t be able to sleep tonight if I go back to sleep,” she said as she slowly sat up.
He subconsciously wanted to help her sit up but seemed to think of something, so he lowered his hands and asked the caregiver to help Grace.
“You should go wash up. I’ll ask them to serve the food,” said Jason.
“Okay,” replied Grace as she moved to get up.
Due to her big belly, she moved very slowly now.
When she finished washing up and came to the dining room, she saw Jason sitting quietly on a chair beside the dining table. It seemed that he was looking at his hands.
‘What’s wrong… with his hands?’ Grace wondered.

When she finished washing up and came to the dining room, she saw Jason sitting quietly on a chair beside the dining table. It seemed that he was looking at his hands.
‘What’s wrong… with his hands?’ Grace wondered.
As if sensing her gaze, he suddenly looked up. He came forward 3/4 and helped her pull out her chair but never touched her.
Today was their first Chinese New Year after she married into the Reed family. The maids and the caregiver did not have New Year’s Eve dinner with them and were in another small hall.
Therefore, there were only Grace and Jason at this large dining table.
There was a variety of food today, and the dishes were almost all her favorites. Grace ate the meal mouthful after mouthful. She would glance at Jason from time to time out of the corners of her eyes. Now that she had seen him again, some things… “Why do you keep peeking at me? You can just look at me if you want. We’re husband and wife, aren’t we?” Jason said suddenly.
Grace instantly felt embarrassed. She had been caught peeking.
“You know what? I’m happy,” he continued saying.
She was stunned. “Happy?” “I’m happy you let me have this New Year’s Eve dinner with you. I’m happy you… wanted to see me.” His eyes stared at her. “And I’m happy you’re calling me ‘Jay’ again. Grace, have you thought of me these days?” 4/4 She looked at him blankly. Of course, she had thought of him. She thought about all that had happened between them as well as their future.
“I miss you so much. I’ve been thinking about you these days.” Jason’s mutters slowly drifted into the air.
Grace bit her lip slightly, and as if she had made up her mind, she said, “Yes, I’ve thought of you.”
My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict Chapter 1483-The moment she said so, his eyes seemed to sparkle like bright stars. They were shimmering, and a beautiful smile appeared on the corners of his lips.
“You thought of me… You thought of me…” he muttered as if he was excited. There were tears in his beautiful peach blossom eyes.
She looked at his excited face and momentarily fell into a trance. ‘Could a word from me make him behave like this?
‘I know he loves me, and there’s no doubt about it.
‘And I love him too. Don’t I?’ “Let’s eat first. The food is going to get cold if we don’t,” said Grace.
“Okay, let’s eat first. It’s our first time spending Chinese New Year together. You’ll have New Year’s Eve dinner with me every year after this as well, right?” he asked, looking nervous and hopeful.
She knew what he wanted to hear, and she did not want to see him disappointed.
“Yes, we’ll have New Year’s Eve dinner together every year 2/4 onward,” she said.
It was a promise, but it also fulfilled his expectations and desire.
The next moment, two streams of tears suddenly poured out of Jason’s eyes and rolled down his face. He was crying, but the corners of his lips were smiling.
His smile was like the most beautiful scenery in springtime.
For a moment, Grace only felt waves of pain in her heart.
It took them quite some time to finish New Year’s Eve dinner because of Jason’s crying.
“I… want to watch the Spring Festival Gala show later. Will you watch it with me?” said Grace. Speaking of which, she had not watched the Spring Festival Gala show in years.
She vaguely recalled watching the Spring Festival Gala show in her grandmother’s arms when she was a child.
Later, she returned to her so-called home in tMason Swansonty. However, it was always her father, stepmother, and sister, Evelyn, who gathered in front of the TV and watched the show on New Year’s Eve. She was like an outsider, never fitting in.
It was only during the two years she was dating Sean that they www 3/4 made a conscious effort to be nice to her, but she had never felt like they were one family.
Jason replied, “Okay. I’ll watch it with you if you want to.” At eight o’clock, the show began!
Grace and Jason sat on the living room couch and watched the show on the huge TV screen.
It was an experience Grace had never had.
She seemed to have peace of mind now. This moment felt similar to how she used to watch the show with her grandmother, but… there were still some differences.
Maybe it was because… Jay was not only her family but also the person she loved.
When the show got to the singing and dancing segment, Grace suddenly turned her head and looked at Jason who was sitting next to her. “Jay, I’ll… try to forget about what happened in the past.” Jason shuddered suddenly. There was shock, surprise, and expectation but also nervousness in his eyes as he looked at her… “Grace, you…” ‘Could it be what I think it is? Is it possible?’ At the moment, he was like a man waiting for a trial. He was so nervous he was almost at a loss.
My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict Chapter 1484-“Since we can’t change what has happened in the past, then… I want to let it go and not dwell on it. Just like what Lina said to me, we have to keep moving forward.” Grace took a deep breath, letting go of her struggles and doubts little by little. She finally said what she had been thinking about for so long these days… “Jay, I’m willing to forgive you, and I won’t leave you. I didn’t forget what I told you. I won’t abandon you as long as you don’t leave me.” Yes, this was her decision.
When she said this, her body seemed to tremble with some pain. It was as if all the pain was passing through her body, but… she was also relieved at the same time.
Maybe… by letting this go, she could be happy and spend her life with the one she loved.
If she really let go of him, she knew she would regret it in the future!
Jason’s lips trembled. “Are you really willing to forgive me and not leave me?” “Yes, I won’t leave you,” she replied.
2/4 His mother left him, his father left him, and his grandfather had also left him, but she would not. She wanted to spend her life with him.
Tears came streaming down again when he heard this. “Grace… Grace…” He kept calling out to her name as he cried like a child.
She took a tissue and wiped his tears. “Stop crying. I forgive you, so stop crying…” “Okay, I’ll stop. I’ll stop.” He sobbed. He was crying more than ever today, but… she was the only one who could make him cry.
His hands took her hand that was wiping his tears. “Grace, do you know how much I love you? Do you know how afraid I was that you would never forgive me? I was afraid… Afraid you would loathe me and leave me…” Only she could make him so afraid.
Her brows suddenly furrowed, and her body shuddered a little. His hands were wrapped around her hand, and the wave of warmth traveled from his hands to her hand. However, it made her body stiff. Then, nausea seemed to rise again.
Her other hand covered her mouth almost instinctively as she tried to suppress the feeling in her body.
He withdrew his hands almost in a panic. His tear-streaked face 3/4 was pale and helpless.
“Sorry, but it may take a while before I can…” she murmured. ‘I want to forgive Jay and let go.
‘But why is my body reacting this way?’ *
‘Is it because… I haven’t really let it go?’ Grace looked down and speculated.
Jason’s tear-stained eyelashes trembled a little. “I’m the one who should be sorry. Grace, I’ll wait for you. I’ll wait for you to touch me and stop rejecting me. I’m willing to wait no matter how long it’ll take.” Her willingness to forgive him was already a great surprise to him today. No matter how much he wanted to hold her and kiss her, he would control himself.
She just needed to get used to it and forget what he had done back then… He would wait patiently. He would do it no matter what!
Tonight, instead of the caregiver accompanying Grace, it was Jason.
My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict Chapter 1485-However, the only difference was that they were not sleeping in the same bed.
When she was about to go to bed that night, he said, “I’ll just sleep on the couch beside you. If I sleep on the bed, I’m afraid I’ll touch you when I’m asleep.” He was afraid that his touch might trigger another bad reaction from her.
Therefore, when Grace woke up the next day, she only saw Jason lying on the couch with his eyes closed, still asleep.
She gently lifted the covers off herself and walked over to the couch.
In the past, he would always be awake when she woke up and rarely overslept. However, it was already past nine but he was still asleep.
Grace looked at Jason quietly, only feeling that he seemed thinner than before. He looked haggard even in his sleep.
Besides, there were some faint dark circles under his eyes. ‘Has he not been sleeping well these days?’ 23 www.brow.andenly winked up. Then scam sesonge become restess as an aver of ovest vered out on his forshest “No… No. It definitely wont re muttered “Won’t what?” Grace Mas StTed and subconscious aset ter hand to touch his creek. However, she could not her stiffening the moment she touched him.
“How can it be? I’ve decided to let the matter go are not vel or what happened back then, but why is my bacing this wa Grace could only withdraw her hand are set to any Jay, wake up!
Hearing her voice, Jason immediately cerec his eyes sca eyes were full of desoar the moners order Sin his eyes only faded little by little when he caught st breathed a sigh of relief.
“What’s the matter? What did you dream about ade curiously.
“It’s nothing.” he said, his eyelashes flutting a little. Hekkest normal again.
“It seemed like you had a nightmare” she said.
“Really? I don’t remember.” He smiled and said, “But even if I did it’s only a nightmare. I’m going to take a shower. I’m sweating a little.” 3/3 Jason said as he picked up a change of clothes and went into the bathroom.
The warm water washed over his body, and Jason raised his hand to wipe the water on his face.
He had lied… just now. He remembered everything in his dream.
In his dream, Old Master Reed kept saying to him, “Jason, you’re doomed if you stay with Grace! Sooner or later, you’ll kill yourself if you love a woman too much and let her take charge of your life! This woman will leave you!” Old Master Reed’s voice was like a nightmare. There was still a lingering fear in Jason’s heart even though he had woken up now.
Jason instantly shook his head and told himself to stop thinking about what Old Master Reed had said in his dream. He probably only had this dream because he was worried about what Secretary Wang might do.
‘Grace has already said she’ll forgive me and won’t leave me!’
My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict Chapter 1486-Jason raised his hand and turned off the faucet. He put on his bathrobe, walked to the mirror in front of the sink, and looked at himself in the mirror.
N His wet hair clung to his cheeks, and the water was still dripping.
The water droplets on his face looked like tears.
“Grandpa, the day you spoke of will never come. I’m not going to kill myself, and Grace’s not leaving me. She and I are going to have a happy ending!” His deep voice carried firm determination!
For the next few days, Grace and Jason stayed in the mansion.
When Grace was free during the day, she would video call Lina, Kyla Corbyn, and Nelson. When Lina and Kyla Corbyn found out Grace and Jason had reconciled, they both gave her their blessings.
Kyla Corbyn had no idea what happened, but Lina did.
Lina privately asked Grace, “Are you really over it?” After all, she 2/4 was involved in the case from the beginning to the end. She knew how much her best friend had suffered in prison and how much the case had affected her.
Grace was even tortured to the point of almost committing suicide when she was in prison.
“Yeah, I’ll… try to get over it,” said Grace.
“That’s good.” Lina was finally relieved. “My parents also said they would like to visit you and Jason during Chinese New Year. They’ve always wanted to thank you for saving my life! I would have died if it weren’t for you.” “Your parents have thanked me enough already. Besides, I would’ve been dead back then if it hadn’t been for you,” said Grace.
Friends need not talk much. They both understood each other well.
After arranging the time for the Chinese New Year visit, Grace finished the call just to see Jason walking toward her.
“By the way, Lina says she wants to come over tomorrow with her parents to visit us for Chinese New Year. Will you be at home?” asked Grace.
“Tomorrow?” Jason frowned slightly and said, “I may not have time tomorrow.” 3/4 “Do you have something to do? Then I’ll talk to Lina and take a rain check,” said Grace. Then, as if remembering something, she said, “Jay, can you remove some of the bodyguards and security personnel in the house? There’s no need to have so many people following me.” It felt like she had a bunch of people following her everywhere she went.
It was all right if she was indoors. If she went outside, she would be surrounded by a large group of people even if it was still within Reed Residence.
He hesitated a little before saying, “I can’t remove them.” He even wanted to have more men stationed by her side.
“Why are you getting so many people to follow me? Do you… still think I’ll leave you?” she asked suddenly.
He pressed his thin lips together tightly and said nothing.
“So you don’t believe me?” She stared at him with wide eyes. “You don’t believe me when I say I won’t leave?” “I…” He stiffened slightly and said, “I believe you.” At the very least, he wanted to believe she was letting bygones be bygones and was going to stay by his side forever… However, his heart was still swollen with unease.
My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict Chapter 1487-“If you believe me, remove those people and just let Huang Qian follow me to protect me like before. You don’t have to get so many people to follow me every time I go out.” It made her feel like she was being monitored by a lot of people.
“No.” He rejected her immediately.
“Why?” she asked.
“In any case, you need to have a lot of people around you to protect you,” Jason said in a deep voice. He did not want to tell her about Secretary Wang or Lily’s escape.
After all, some of it was just his speculation. He was still unsure whether it was true. She was due to have a cesarean section in a week, and he was afraid it would be bad for her health if she got worried.
A sudden feeling of disappointment struck Grace’s heart. He kept saying he believed her, but… he still did not believe her.
“Jason, is there so little trust between us? What do I have to do for you to believe that I won’t leave you?” she asked, unconsciously raising her voice.
He stared at her. Those eyes almost seemed to see through her.
“Then kiss me.” “What?” She was stunned and was a little at a loss all of a sudden.
2/4 “Kiss me. I’ll believe you won’t leave me if you kiss me.” ‘Just give me some confidence so I can firmly believe that you really love me!’ It seemed that his love for her was deepening, yet it felt as though he was the only one growing attached to her in this relationship.
She only married him because of the kids and Lina. Later, she was willing to love him again because she wanted to give the children a complete and happy family. Even when she said she would forgive him, he could not help wondering if it was also for the children?
Did she forgive him just so the children could have a complete family?
Was that why she said she would forgive him but her body still resisted him?
Grace stared blankly at Jason and took a long time to digest what he had just said.
‘Did he just ask me to… kiss him? But I simply can’t touch him.’ Whenever she touched him, her body would almost instinctively stiffen and she would even… feel nauseous!
3/4 Her silence made him laugh mockingly at himself. “You can’t do it, right? I’ll remove those people when you can do it.” He was about to turn away as he spoke.
“Wait!” she said suddenly as she subconsciously reached out to grab him!
She did not want him to just walk away like this. It made her feel that there might be a misunderstanding between them if she just let him leave.
She did not want any misunderstandings!
“You’ll believe me if I kiss you, right?” She grabbed his arm.
Instantly, her body stiffened.
‘Never mind. It’s alright. I’ll forget about the past. The man before me isn’t the Master Reed who ignored me back then; he’s Jay, the man who loves me deeply!’ Grace kept telling herself as she kept her hand on Jason’s arm.
There was a slight look of surprise on Jason’s face. Out of the corners of his eyes, he glanced at the hand holding his arm. Moments later, the word ‘yes’ was gently uttered from his thin lips.
4/4 Grace took a deep breath, took a step forward, and put her hands around Jason’s neck.
My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict Chapter 1488-She was utterly stiff, and her every movement made her seem like a robot. However, she kept trying.
Standing on her tiptoes, she looked at the handsome face right in front of her.
They were so close that she could see his eyelashes. She could even see herself in his black pupils.
‘I just need to get a little closer and I can kiss him!
‘That way, he’ll believe me!
‘He’ll believe that I’ve forgiven him and I won’t leave him! Does Jay know I love him and don’t want to miss this chance of being together with him?’ He was the man who loved her the most, and no one would love her as much as he did.
The truth of that incident was indeed very painful to her that she had even hated him for a moment, but he had suffered too.
When she thought about it, she remembered how he had asked her several times before when they were together to forgive him if he did something wrong.
2/4 Had he been dreading the day she would find out about the truth?
If only actions would prove it, then she would prove it… Grace stiffly stood on her tiptoes, bringing her lips closer to his little by little.
His breath almost enveloped her, and his face was enlarged before her eyes. This only made her body grow stiffer.
She closed her eyes and told herself that he would believe her if she kissed him.
He would not misunderstand her if she kissed him!
Her heart beat faster and faster. She shuddered when her lips finally touched his. Then, she suddenly took a step back and covered her lips with a hand. She turned around, dashing to the bathroom.
“Blaargh… Blaargh…” Grace threw up at the sink.
She threw up almost everything she ate that morning.
After a while, she finally stopped vomiting. She propped her arms weakly against the sink. Suddenly, as if realizing something, she turned her head and looked at Jason who was standing by the bathroom door.
His tall body stood quietly by the door. His pale face and deep eyes were full of self-mockery as well as anguish. “Grace, you can’t do it, after all. Your body can’t lie.” “No, I—” She hurriedly wanted to explain, but he cut her short.
3/4 “You only said you were willing to forgive me for the kids’ sake, am right? You don’t want the kids to grow up in a broken family, so you’re willing to forgive me! I know that, but… it would be nice if you’re forgiving me because you have some love for me.” “It’s not because of the kids. I’m willing to forgive you because I love you. Jay, I love you!” Grace exclaimed as she fought back against the discomfort of having just thrown up.
“Really?” His brows relaxed slightly and he looked down. “If you do love me, then stay here in the house and don’t go anywhere. We still have decades…” If her love for him were really gone, he would make her fall in love with him again in these few decades!
“I’ll let the caregiver come in and take care of you.” With that, Jason turned around and walked out of the room.
Grace bit her lip and could only smile wryly as she looked at Jason’s back.
He did not believe her at all.
My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict Chapter 1489-Jason walked out of the room. The hands hanging by his sides were slightly clenched.
When she took hold of his arm, wrapped her arms around his neck, and was about to kiss him, did she know how nervous and expectant he was?
However… it was just another disappointment in the end.
Even though she was willing to convince him in that way, her body’s reaction was not fooling anyone. Her body was still resisting him, so she had not really forgiven him.
However, at least she was willing to lie to him and comfort him in such a way. He should be content.
He and she… had the rest of their lives. Once the danger at hand was settled and once their children were born, he would have plenty of time to make her accept him again!
Jason gave some orders to the caregiver and bodyguards outside. Just then, Terrence hurried over. “Master Reed, I have something.” 2/4 Jason’s eyes shimmered slightly, and he waved his hand to the caregiver nearby. The caregiver hurried into the room to look after Grace.
Outside the room, Jason looked at Terrence. “What is it?” “We found Secretary Wang,” said Terrence.
Jason was stunned. “Where is he?” Terrence said, “We found him at Old Master Reed’s tomb. He went to pay his respects. He tried to escape after he was found, but our men stopped him. He’s being held in a house not far from the cemetery. Do you want to see him, Master Reed?” “Of course, I want to see him. After all, he was the closest person to Old Master Reed,” Jason said coldly. Secretary Wang had not been seen nor was there any news of him in these few days. Hence, something must be going on with his sudden appearance.
Besides, Jason wondered if Secretary Wang had anything to do with Lily’s escape.
He had a feeling that all these incidents were too coincidental.
“Come on,” said Jason as he walked toward the stairs.
Terrence quickly followed him.
Moments later, a black Bentley slowly pulled away from Reed Residence.
3/4 The car drove to a mansion near the cemetery. As soon as Jason got off, someone quickly stepped forward and said, “Master Reed, he’s inside, but he won’t say anything. He said he won’t say anything until he sees you.” “Lead the way,” Jason ordered coldly.
He immediately led the way for Jason and they soon came to one of the rooms.
Secretary Wang was sitting on a chair. His face was a little blueish and red after getting beaten up earlier.
After Jason walked in, a smile appeared on Secretary Wang’s swollen face. “There you are. I’d like to ask what’s the reason for capturing me all of a sudden, Young Master. I’ve done you no wrong!” “No wrong?” Jason raised his eyebrows slightly. “Didn’t you email Brian the truth about the case on behalf of Old Master Reed?” “That was Old Master Reed’s order,” said Secretary Wang.
“Was helping Lily escape Old Master Reed’s order too?” Jason seemed to ask nonchalantly.
Secretary Wang showed an innocent expression. “I don’t understand what you mean, Young Master. Has Lily… escaped? I only know from the news that she was detained by the police
My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict Chapter 1490-Jason narrowed his dark eyes and stared at Secretary Wang. “Is that so? You didn’t know she escaped?” “No, I didn’t,” Secretary Wang insisted and said.
“Okay. You told my men that you wouldn’t say anything until you saw me, so why don’t you tell me right now what you wanted to say?” said Jason.
“Old Master Reed said if Grace found out the truth after his death but chose to stay with you, then he’d like to make a bet with you.” “A bet?” Jason was stunned for a moment.
Secretary Wang said, “Yes, a bet! Young Master, Old Master Reed wants to bet whether you’re willing to give up your life for a woman just like your father previously did.” Jason’s expression sank immediately. “What does this mean?” After all, the old master was no longer around. Besides, how was he going to bet on such a thing?
Secretary Wang tugged the corners of his lips, smiling without saying a word. However, it was a bit creepy when he showed such a smile on his battered and swollen face.
“Tell me, what do you mean?” Jason’s voice was deep. His cold and indifferent gaze suddenly sharpened.
Secretary Wang said, “Young Master, you’ll find out when the time comes. Old Master Reed only hoped you could bear in mind your father’s lesson-to die for a woman is to die for nothing.” “You have no right to say what will become of me!” Jason stepped forward and grabbed Secretary Wang’s collar. “You’d better tell me what Old Master Reed told you to do, or you’ll only suffer.” retary Wang spoke as if he was not concerned, “I worked for Old Master Reed when I was penniless, and he saved my life. Now that the old master is gone, of course, I’ll do whatever he told me to do. Young Master, I’ve already told you what I should. I won’t tell you what I shouldn’t. You’ll find out when the time comes.” Jason pressed his thin lips tightly. He knew Secretary Wang well. Among the people around the old master, Secretary Wang was the most loyal to him.
‘What did the old master… tell him to do?
‘A bet?
‘Grandpa’s dead now, yet he still wanted to bet whether I’d give up my life for a woman? How is Grandpa going to bet me on this? Whatever the bet, the woman involved… is Grace!
‘Grace?’ Jason suddenly shuddered as he thought of something. Suddenly, he took out his phone and dialed Grace’s phone number.
However, there was no answer from the other end of the line.
2/2 Jason’s face immediately turned grim. Terrence also seemed to realize something and said quickly, “Master Reed…” “Contact the people at the residence immediately and ask them to ascertain Grace’s status. Also, enhance the security near the bedroom,” ordered Jason.
“Yes!” Terrence replied immediately.
He hurriedly took his phone to call the mansion’s chief of security and began to give orders.
However, moments later, Terrence’s face suddenly paled. He panicked and said to Jason urgently, “Oh no, Master Reed! Young Madam is missing!” “What?” Jason suddenly grabbed Terrence’s phone and asked the person on the other end of the line sternly, “What’s the matter? Where’s Young Madam? Is she no longer in the residence?”
