Ch. 1641..1650
My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict Chapter 1641-Mick Reed looked at the Gregory family’s mother-and-daughter indifferently. For the first time in his life, he felt regretful. He regretted telling his father about wanting a sister and letting him adopt Oriel Lynch.
He did not like this sister. When he was in the car back then, he had felt sorry for Oriel Lynch and Aunt Lynch when he saw them being bullied and scolded. Now, they only made him feel uncomfortable.
“Jasper’s my sister,” said Mick Reed as though that was enough to explain everything!
Oriel Lynch’s little face instantly turned red. ‘Does that mean Mick… doesn’t acknowledge me as his sister? Is it just because I’m not Mr. Reed’s biological daughter?’ At that moment, Oriel Lynch realized that what her mother said was true. Grace was the reason why her mother could not marry Mr. Reed, so she could not be Mr. Reed’s real daughter.
In particular, she hated being called an adopted daughter. She preferred hearing people call her something like ‘Little Young Lady’ or ‘Mick’s sister’ 2/4 However, no one had called her ‘Little Young Lady’ ever since Jasper came to the kindergarten. When someone mentioned Mick’s sister, everyone would think they were referring to Jasper Reed.
Once, another teacher came to their class and asked Mick who his sister was. She was about to stand up when Mick dragged Jasper out.
“But the friend of Jasper Reed’s mother is a homewrecker, and her mother’s a homewrecker. That means Jasper will grow up to be a homewrecker as well. Do you want a homewrecker to be your sister?” roared Oriel Lynch.
Everyone present turned pale at this remark as they did not expect it from a five-year-old.
“You can’t say that about my mom and aunt!” Jasper wanted to pounce on Oriel Lynch and hit her again. Although she was only five years old, she knew what a homewrecker was!
Grace sprinted into the office and grabbed her daughter.
Jasper wanted to struggle at first, but when she saw that her mother had come, she immediately complained, “Mommy, I was a good girl today but Oriel Lynch called you and Aunt homewreckers. I told her to stop but she insisted on calling you that. She also told me to beat her up if I refuse to accept it, so I did!” 3/4 The little one explained what had happened with great eloquence and passed the buck, stating she did not start the fight. It was Oriel Lynch who made her!
Grace swept her gaze across her daughter. There were some bruises on her little face but it was not serious. These sorts of scratches were common when children fought.
Then, she looked at Oriel Lynch who was beside her. She also had some scratches on her face but they were not serious. What was serious was the bald patch the teacher had mentioned. It was just above her forehead, forming a concave shape that looked really weird and ugly.
At the moment, Oriel Lynch seemed a little scared because of Grace’s appearance and unconsciously hugged Irene Lynch.
around the waist.
Irene Lynch smiled and said to Grace, “It’s just child’s talk. Grace, you won’t mind it, would you?” “Of course, I won’t mind the things children say. But I’d like to know who told her that. It couldn’t have come out of nowhere.” Grace also smiled faintly but stared sharply at Irene Lynch.
There seemed to be a flash of awkwardness on Irene Lynch’s face. “Maybe it’s because information technology is too advanced now. Well… kids will think what’s on the news is true… after seeing it.”
My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict Chapter 1642-“The news? Do you let her watch such news?” said Grace as she raised her eyebrows.
“Why… Why would I show her such news? Maybe she saw it when she was playing with my phone,” Irene Lynch said with a dry laugh.
“It seems Oriel knows a lot of words. She can even read news articles at this age. Why don’t I find a news article and see if Oriel can figure out what it’s about?” “Well… there are news videos!” Irene Lynch said quickly.
Grace said coldly, “Videos? Then find me a news video online that mentions the word ‘homewrecker’?” The word ‘homewrecker’ would only be found in the comments section.
Those videos dared not mention it, and it would be cut out even if they did.
Grace was very clear about this because she had already asked Jay to get rid of radical remarks and videos that slandered Lina.
Besides, Hadwin Stephenson probably had someone remove those related videos as well. There was no way one could find it online.
2/3 There was even less news online about the previous incident on the streets. Almost all of it had been removed.
Grace would not believe that a kid like Oriel Lynch had just randomly clicked open those sorts of videos!
Irene Lynch looked even more embarrassed and quickly changed the subject, saying, “But… Jasper shouldn’t have pulled Oriel’s hair out no matter what. We don’t know if the hair will grow back! If it doesn’t-” Grace said, “Then we’ll get a doctor to check on her. I’ll pay for all the expenses.” ‘That’s it?’ Irene Lynch was unwilling, especially with all the teachers in the office. If she gave in to Grace now, these teachers would only think less of her and her daughter in the future!
Therefore, Irene Lynch asked, “Shouldn’t Jasper apologize to Oriel?” “Alright, we’ll let the kids apologize to each other,” said Grace.
“Apologize to each other?” In Irene Lynch’s opinion, her daughter was seriously injured.
1642 3/3 “The kids fought and each of them is at fault. Jasper was wrong for pulling Oriel’s hair, but she did it to defend her mother and aunt. And Oriel… shouldn’t have said such a thing. She’s also a member of the Reed family. She doesn’t know what all for one and one for all means but don’t you? You should teach your child that!” What Grace said made Irene Lynch almost powerless to refute. Grace mentioned the Reed family. Irene Lynch would be unreasonable if she insisted on not letting her daughter apologize.
Irene Lynch could only grit her teeth and reply.
The two children apologized to each other reluctantly, and Grace turned around to talk to the teacher. Then, she brought the two children home.
“Mommy, I’m sorry I didn’t take good care of Tristas!” Mick Reed apologized as soon as they got in the car.
“No, I’m fine. Brother took good care of me!” Jasper Reed’s braids which she had done this morning were now as messy as a bird’s nest. There were even two bruises on her face, and her clothes were askew with one button missing.
My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict Chapter 1643-The way she looked made Grace want to laugh.
“Alright, it’s great that you two are close,” said Grace as she raised her hand to straighten her daughter’s clothes. Then, she said, “It’s not right to fight, but Jasper did it because she cares about Aunt and me. Both of you need to understand that fighting isn’t the way to solve problems. Most of the time, it’ll intensify the problem and turn small problems into big ones.” Insight flashed through Mick Reed’s eyes as he listened. The boy knew that fighting was a bad idea. After all, the Reed family had never educated their heirs to be thugs. The little one was more precocious and intelligent than other children of his age.
However, Jasper seemed to only understand half of it. There was a look of disapproval on her face. It was obvious she still thought it was more convenient to fight.
Grace could not help but sigh to herself when she saw her children’s different reactions. Although her daughter was also smart, it was obvious she was not using her brains at this moment.
“You’ll understand it in time.” Grace patted her daughter’s little head.
2/4 After all, there were some things one had to experience to understand.
Grace did not expect Irene Lynch to come to Reed Residence with Oriel Lynch in the evening.
Oriel Lynch was wearing a small hat when she came. However, Irene Lynch took Oriel Lynch’s hat off once they entered the living room. Suddenly, the bald patch on Oriel Lynch’s head looked utterly conspicuous.
“Mr. Reed, I brought Oriel here to apologize to Jasper,” Irene Lynch said apologetically.
“Apologize?” Jason frowned slightly.
Irene Lynch said sheepishly, “Didn’t Mrs. Reed tell you? Today in kindergarten, Jasper hit Oriel and pulled her hair out because Oriel misspoke. It was wrong of Jasper to hit her, but it was all because Oriel said something she shouldn’t have.” Irene Lynch then spoke to her daughter, “Oriel, hurry and apologize to Jasper!” “Oh!” replied Oriel Lynch as she walked up to Jasper with red eyes. “Jasper, I’m sorry I called your aunt and mom a homewrecker. I… I secretly played with Mommy’s phone the other day and saw a video about it. They also said that your mother is having an illicit relationship with her mentor. Well… what kind of a relationship is an illicit relationship? Do you know what it means?” The child’s voice rang out in the living room, and Grace’s heart sank. She instantly knew what Irene Lynch was up to.
It might look like an apology, but she was using the child to make Jay suspicious and drive a wedge between them.
Jasper was a child, after all. She did not realize what was going on. She thought Oriel Lynch was really here to apologize. “I don’t know either, but you mustn’t speak ill of my mommy and aunt again.” “I… I got it. I’ll watch my mouth. Who’s your mother’s mentor? Is he close to her?” Oriel Lynch continued to follow the script her mother had given her.
Although she did not want to apologize, her mother said she would one day become Mr. Reed’s real daughter if she did this.
Jasper and her mother would also be kicked out of the Reed family!
Therefore, she memorized the script and recited it word for 4/4 word even though she did not want to apologize.
My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict Chapter 1644-Before Jasper could answer, Mick Reed, who was nearby, suddenly pulled her behind him. He stared warily at Oriel Lynch, saying, “You and Aunty Lynch can go now that you’ve apologized.” Oriel Lynch looked at Jasper unhappily. When she saw Mick protecting Jasper like that, she felt as though something that belonged to her had been taken away from her.
Mick was her brother alone before this!
“Mick, I know I shouldn’t have said that about your mom today. Will you forgive me?” Oriel Lynch said pitifully. She was being much more sincere than when she apologized to Jasper just now.
After all, Oriel Lynch did not want Mick Reed to hate her.
Mick Reed did not say anything, but his eyes that were looking at her were deadly cold.
Then, another pair of similar cold eyes also stared at Oriel Lynch.
“Oriel, who taught you to say that?” asked Jason.
Oriel Lynch was surprised and quickly said, “Mr. Reed… I… I wanted to apologize, so I just… did.” Jason’s eyes turned colder. “Really?” Suddenly, he ordered the nearby Uncle Kwan, “Take these three children to have some desserts.” 2/3 “Yes,” replied Uncle Kwan, knowing that Young master Reed was trying to send the three children away.
Therefore, he walked up to the three kids and asked as he led them toward the dining room, “What would you like to eat? Little Young Lady, do you still want matcha cake today?” “I’m not eating matcha cake,” Oriel Lynch immediately said. She hated matcha-flavored food.
Uncle Kwan instantly stopped and said to Oriel Lynch, “Miss Lynch, I was referring to Jasper when I said ‘Little Young Lady”!” Oriel Lynch’s little face instantly reddened, and her body became extremely stiff. Uncle Kwan’s words seemed to be reminding her of her status as an adopted daughter.
She used to be called ‘Little Young Lady’ here, but she was only Miss Lynch now.
3/3 It was all because of Jasper Reed. It was all because of her!
If only Jasper did not exist, then Mr. Reed and Mick would be hers. She would always be the little young lady of the family!
Uncle Kwan left with the three children. Jason, Grace, and Irene Lynch were the only ones left in the living room.
Irene Lynch observed Jason’s face, thinking of how to lead the conversation to get to the situation she wanted.
“Young master Reed, I’m so sorry that Oriel said that,” said Irene Lynch.
“Oh? What did she say?” Jason asked lightly.
My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict Chapter 1645-“Well… she said Grace and her mentor are having some sort of illicit relationship. I have no idea how she managed to tap into those silly videos with my phone. Grace and her mentor won’t be in such a relationship, of course. It’s mostly rumors online. They said something about Mr. Watts being too nice to Grace, even losing the case to Grace to elevate Grace’s status in the legal community…” Irene Lynch seemed to be explaining and defending Grace, but she was actually relaying some awful online rumors to Jason as though she was afraid he would not know about it.
“You seem to know quite a lot.” Jason snorted with a half-smile.
“I care about Grace. After all, the Reed family has always helped Oriel and me. I consider myself a part of the Reed family too,” Irene Lynch turned to look at Grace as she spoke, “But seriously, I think you should stay away from your friend Lina for a while, Grace. After all, people will think she’s a bad influence.” Grace looked at Irene Lynch coldly. “You have no right to criticize my friends and me. Also, I don’t know you that well so I’d prefer it if you don’t call me Grace. I think you’d better call me Mrs. Reed.” 2/4 Irene Lynch instantly pretended to look aggrieved. “I’m just worried about you. You mentioned all for one and one for all in the kindergarten this afternoon. Haven’t you thought about how much harm you’ll bring to the Reed family if you continue to associate yourself with Lina?
“Everyone knows Lina is a homewrecker. Even five-year-old children who watch the news know about it. Though nothing is going on between you and your mentor, others will think you and your friend are the same!
“What’s more, Lina is a woman who deliberately destroyed others’ relationships. Hadwin Stephenson was supposed to get married! Listen, Lina is a vain snob. She broke up with Hadwin Stephenson when he was at his lowest. Now that Hadwin Stephenson is successful, she can’t give up those riches and honor, so she deliberately seduced-” Slap!
A loud slap cut Irene Lynch off.
Irene Lynch covered her face and looked at Grace in disbelief. She did not expect her to suddenly slap her, much less in front of Jason.
Grace said coldly, “You have no right to criticize what kind of person Lina is! I’ll slap you again if I hear you gossip about Lina!” Grace spoke maliciously, her almond-shaped eyes full of determination and ferocity!
3/4 Irene Lynch’s heart trembled but she still retorted, “I’m just looking out for the Reed family. If you continue to associate yourself with women like Lina, then the entire Reed family will be disgraced-” Slap!
Another slap to Irene Lynch’s face interrupted the rest of her speech.
“I told you, I’ll slap you again if I hear you gossip about her!” Grace said coldly.
Irene Lynch’s eyes quickly became filled with tears, and she looked at Jason with red eyes. “Mr. Reed, I… I’m just looking out for the Reed family. Maybe Mrs. Reed’s affection for the Reed family has weakened after she left for five years. But I… I regard the Reed family as my own. I don’t want the Reed family to be criticized.” Irene Lynch looked utterly pitiful as she put on a tearful appearance with her red and swollen cheeks!
Jason’s thin lips parted gently. “Does it hurt?” There was a touch of tenderness in his voice.
4/4 Irene Lynch was delighted. She knew men liked women who were weak and delicate. Now that Grace was being so arrogant, it was a sharp contrast to her pitiful appearance. After all, she was only looking out for the Reed family.
However, her heart soon sank because Jason had walked up to Grace. He took her hand.
‘He’s… asking the one who slapped me if her hands hurt?’
My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict Chapter 1646-Irene Lynch instantly felt like she was slapped in the face again. It was far more painful and embarrassing than when she got slapped by Grace.
“I’m alright,” replied Grace.
Jason gently massaged Grace’s palm with his fingers. “Tell me if you want to slap someone next time. Don’t hurt your hand.” He glanced at her palm again as he spoke, “It’s a little red now.” “Mister… Mr. Reed, I…” Irene Lynch could not help voicing out. She was the one in pain. Her face was redder and more swollen!
Jason seemed to remember that Irene Lynch was here and glanced at her coldly.
“By the way, my wife may have left the Reed family for five years, but she’s still the mistress of the Reed family. Since when did you gain the right to criticize her? And since when did the Reed family become your family? You’ve never been a member of the Reed family, so don’t think of the Reed family as your own.” 2/4 Jason’s icy voice and stare made Irene Lynch shudder as she said dejectedly, “But my… My daughter’s… the Reed family…” “Wanna’s indeed the Reed family’s adopted daughter, but you have nothing to do with the Reed family,” said Jason.
Irene Lynch’s face, which was red and swollen before, instantly turned pale. ‘Have I just been an outsider to this man all along?’ Seeing Jason gently holding Grace’s hand and rubbing her palm, Irene Lynch only found the sight irritating to her eyes. The pain on her cheek seemed to worsen.
“Mr. Reed, aren’t you afraid that the Reed family’s reputation will be tarnished because of Grace? Once that happens, even a century-old family like the Reed family-” However, before she could finish, Jason said, “As long as my wife wants, I can give away or destroy the Reed family at any time. The entire Reed family belongs to my wife, so why should you worry about it?” Irene Lynch was stunned, not expecting Jason to say such a thing.
‘Grace occupies such an important position in Jason’s heart! Why? Hasn’t this man always been cold? Hasn’t he shown zero interest in other women in the past five years?
3/4 ‘But why does he care so much about a woman who had left the Reed family for five years. He’s even willing to give her the entire Reed family?” “It’s not your job to worry about the Reed family. Also, you were the one who taught Oriel what she said today, weren’t you?” Jason said directly.
“I… It’s not me!” Irene Lynch felt guilty but was quick to say no. “I told you. She saw the video herself. In the video-” “Irene Lynch, do you think you’re too smart, or do you take others as fools? If it happens again, the Reed family will publicly go back on our decision to adopt Wanna.” Irene Lynch’s expression instantly changed when he said that. ‘Go back on their decision? If that happens, not only will I lose all the glory I have now but I’ll also be ridiculed by everyone. I’ll get trampled back to my poor state before!” “Mr. Reed, you can’t do this. Oriel has always thought of you as her father!” Irene Lynch said quickly.
However, Jason only replied coldly, “Then you should tell her that I never was and never will be her father!” Meeting Jason’s eyes, which seemed to be able to read 4/4 people’s hearts, Irene Lynch only felt cold. The man was so cold to her… He was so cold that it was as if any plans she might have would not work on him.
He would only have Grace in his heart.
‘Why? What’s so good about a woman who left the Reed family for five years and has probably cheated on him countless times during the period?
‘Is she worthy of such gentle treatment from him?
‘He should be gentle to me!’
My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict Chapter 1647-With red and swollen cheeks, Irene Lynch left Reed Residence, full of hatred and jealousy.
Grace let her two children wash up and tucked them into bed.
Jasper casually said good night and kissed her mother and brother before falling asleep.
After his sister fell asleep, Mick Reed solemnly told Grace, “You’re my only mommy.” Grace was stunned for a moment. Then, she felt a little sorry for her son’s precocity after coming to her senses.
‘Is he worried Irene Lynch will replace me?’ “Don’t worry, Daddy won’t let another woman be your mommy.” The little one seemed to ponder over it for a moment after hearing that. He nodded and said good night to Grace before falling asleep as well.
Grace could not help but smile as she watched the faces of her two sleeping children.
‘No matter what it takes, I’ll protect my kids, my family, and… the man who loves me so deeply!” When she returned to the bedroom, Grace saw Jason with his eyes closed and brows furrowed. He was pressing his hands. on both sides of his forehead. She hurried forward and asked, “What’s the matter? Are you having another headache?” Her voice seemed to make his body tremble slightly before he opened his eyes suddenly. Those dark peach blossom eyes stared straight at her.
For a moment, Grace froze. His eyes were tinged with pain.
“What’s come—” Before she could ask him, he got up and hugged her hard.
Grace could not help asking, “Jay, are you having another headache?” He was silent for a moment before muttering, “Yes, my head’s hurting again…” During the headache, he recalled how he had ordered people to guard her room. Besides the maids, he had also sent many bodyguards to follow her whenever she moved around the mansion.
ཆ་ནང་ནས་ 3/4 Although she was pregnant, he had gone beyond taking the normal extra precautions taken.
It… was as if he was not giving her the slightest chance of leaving him!
‘Was I afraid she would leave?
‘Or… did she want to get away from me? Was that why I assigned so many people to keep an eye on her?’ However, when he tried to give it further thought, his head hurt like countless needles were stabbing his brain, preventing him from thinking further.
“Have you taken your medicine?” Grace asked quickly, knowing that Dr. Guzman had prescribed him medicine to relieve his headaches.
“I don’t want to take them,” he said.
“But you’ll be in pain for a long time.” “Grace, I want to regain those lost memories. I want to remember everything about us,” he said.
“It’s alright even if you don’t remember. At least we’re together now, right? I told you, I can tell you about the things you can’t 4/4 remember.”
My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict Chapter 1648-“So you don’t care about the memories you don’t remember?” As soon as he spoke, she fell silent. She knew he was referring to the memory of her leaving the Reed family and falling into the sea.
Although she did not remember, she had gotten a general idea from Terrence. Jay just… had no idea about it.
His eyes stared at her as if he was observing her reaction.
She took a deep breath and said to him, “All that matters to me is our present time together. I would like to remember my past with you if it’s a good memory. If they’re bad memories, then I’d rather forget about them.” “You’d rather forget?” he muttered.
“Yes, I would,” she said. She would rather not recall those painful memories. Perhaps she would not realize how intense the pain was if she could not remember.
After a pause, Grace raised her hand and caressed Jason’s face. “Jay, if you really want to recover your memories, why let nature take its course? Don’t do it at the expense don’t you of your health. All that matters to me is that you keep living.
My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict Chapter 1649-Suddenly, Jason felt another sharp pain in his head.
‘Keep living…’ When the words came out of her mouth, his heart seemed to be pressed by countless heavy boulders. He could not breathe.
“How can I keep living if you’re gone…” the words just blurted out of his mouth.
Even he was stunned when he said it.
‘Why would I say something like that? Besides… it was as if I had said it countless times.
‘When did I say that? Was it after she fell into the sea?’ However, his head hurt even more when he desperately wanted to think about it.
His face grew paler. Large beads of sweat broke out on his forehead while moans spilled from his mouth.
Grace hurriedly said, “I’ll go get you your medicine. We’ll talk after you take them!” With that said, she turned around to fetch the medicine when his arms tightened around her.
“Jay, let go. I’ll go get the medicine for you or your headache will worsen,” she said hurriedly.
3/3 “Don’t go. I don’t want you to go!” At this moment, he looked like a drowning man who was desperately trying to hold on to the only piece of driftwood.
“I’m just getting your medicine,” she explained.
However, it was as if he did not hear her. He pushed her onto the bed and kissed her repeatedly. He pushed their bodies closer together as though this was the only way to make him feel that she was right beside him.
‘Why did she still want to leave me when she said she had forgiven me?
‘Is there another reason for this? Did I do something else later to annoy her? Or… did she hate me so much that she lied about forgiving me?
‘Perhaps she was only willing to stay with me because her memory hadn’t recovered.
‘If she recovered her memory one day, would she still want to stay by my side?” the Jackson family?” 2/4 Hadwin Stephenson gave his subordinate a look, and they picked up the remote control to turn on the TV in the living room. News regarding the Stephenson family immediately appeared.
The more Katherine Jackson watched it, the paler her face became. At the end of the news, her entire face had turned pale and her body was trembling faintly.
‘Has the Jackson family… been turned upside down in just a /few days?’ “Hadwin Stephenson, you’re really good!” Katherine Jackson turned her head resentfully and looked at the man in front of her. He put the Jackson family in such a predicament in just a few days. She could imagine just how much Hadwin Stephenson had prepared.
‘And when did he start planning all this?’ She did not notice it at all. This whole time, she thought she had this man under her control.
“If I’m not smart enough to go against the Jackson family, I’ll be the one getting eaten up instead,” Hadwin Stephenson said lightly.
3/4 Katherine Jackson pressed her red lips tightly. Moments later, she said through gritted teeth, “You didn’t come here just to let me watch the news about the Jackson family, did you?” “You’ve seen the news. The most crucial problem the Jackson family is facing right now is that your capital chain is about to rupture. You know what consequences it’ll bring when that happens. I’m afraid that the Jackson family will be destroyed within a year. Forget about becoming an ordinary person, you’ll be worse off than an average person. You’ll be burdened with debts you’ll never be able to pay off!” Katherine Jackson naturally knew Hadwin Stephenson was not trying to scare her. Besides, this man… would make sure the Jackson family had a horrible end!
After all, the Jackson family was the true mastermind behind the incident five years ago!
They thought he was easier to control just because he was a bastard child, but now… Katherine Jackson greatly regretted her decision!
This man was not a tameable dog but a vengeful wolf!
“If the Jackson family’s capital chain ruptures, won’t you just be able to swallow our properties?!” Katherine Jackson said sarcastically.
4/4 There would be an enormous gap between the Jackson and Stephenson families then!
Hadwin Stephenson said, “Yes, but I can also lend you money and give you a way out.”
My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict Chapter 1650-“What?” Katherine Jackson asked in disbelief.
‘Didn’t Hadwin Stephenson take so long to plan this just to destroy the Jackson family? But now he said he’s willing to give us a way out?’ “I can lend the Jackson family a sum of money. At least, you can keep the Sunshine City project after this crisis,” said Hadwin Stephenson.
Katherine Jackson’s heart shuddered. ‘Does Hadwin Stephenson mean the Jackson family can’t keep anything but the Sunshine City project after this crisis?
‘In that case, the Jackson family will be kicked out of high society! The rest of our assets will also be stripped!
‘But… maybe we’ll have a chance to turn things around with Sunshine City!’ “Why will you lend money to the Jackson family? What are you up to?” Katherine Jackson asked sternly. Hadwin Stephenson must have a greater plot if he was willing to offer such conditions!
“I want to break off our engagement,” said Hadwin Stephenson.
Katherine Jackson suddenly sneered. “Break off our engagement? Are you worried you can’t break off the engagement now that the Jackson family is in such a predicament?” “I want you to tell the media that we’ve reached an agreement to break off the engagement. Besides, you let Lina bear such a label. You ought to clear her name, don’t you think so?” Hadwin Stephenson said coldly.
“You…” Katherine Jackson shuddered suddenly. A thought flashed through her mind, and her eyes slowly widened. “Are… Are you using Sunshine City to negotiate with me just for Lina?” “What else? Why would I give the Jackson family a way out otherwise?” asked Hadwin Stephenson.
Katherine Jackson’s eyes are full of shock. ‘Just because of Lina, Hadwin Stephenson… is giving away billions of dollars!” He had devised such a scheme to bring down the Jackson family, but… he would rather sacrifice that money and even leave unfinished business just for a woman?
Katherine Jackson felt that she did not understand this man at all.
“Are you going to give up easy money for a woman?” ‘For a woman… Hadwin Stephenson looked at Katherine Jackson coldly but did not answer her. He was not just doing it for a woman. It was for his everything!
In his opinion, Lina was his everything!
He could give the Jackson family a way out just for Lina, but… The Jackson family’s plot had caused Lina to suffer serious injuries, so they would still have to pay the price!
He was only letting them off the hook for now… He would make the Jackson family suffer more in the future!
Hadwin Stephenson said, “Just do whatever you have to do. There’ll be a good show tomorrow, and I need you to cooperate.” novelxo.com fast update Katherine Jackson’s face turned ghastly pale. She was once proud and confident, but she had become a pawn to be manipulated by others now!
Even though Hadwin Stephenson did not answer her, she knew what the answer was.
‘Hadwin Stephenson is… actually giving up so much money for Lina and letting the Jackson family off the hook for her sake! What’s so good about Lina that he’s willing to make such a huge sacrifice?’ At this moment, Katherine Jackson thought of how the man had pleaded with her as he knelt in front of her five years ago. “Please, save Lina. Save her! I’ll give anything if you’re willing to save her!” Hadwin Stephenson was so humble back then!
At that time, she thought little of Hadwin Stephenson. He was only a bastard child who managed to gain power over the Stephenson family. He was still a loser in that internal fight.
