âOkay, Iâll go with you,â said Jason as the car headed for Emerald Cityâs airport.
Once they reached the airport, Grace met Hadwin Stephenson in the VIP lounge.
Hadwin Stephenson was in a black trench coat, and next to him was a black suitcase.
âYouâre leaving Emerald City?â asked Grace as she panted. After finding out he was in the VIP lounge, she and Jay ran over.
âCanât I leave Emerald City?â Hadwin Stephenson looked at Grace indifferently and said, âI came to Emerald City for business. Now that itâs done, Iâm going home.â
Grace quickly asked, âWhat about Lina? Do you know that Lina is still lying in the hospital bed-â
âSo what?â he interrupted coldly. âWhat does it matter to me whatâs going on with her?â
âYouâ¦â Grace immediately stepped forward and raised her hand to slap Hadwin Stephensonâs face.
Slap!
A loud slap rang out in the VIP lounge. Fortunately, it was a small separate room and no one else was there.
Hadwin Stephenson looked coldly at Grace, exuding a dangerous aura.
Jason quickly pulled Grace aside, afraid that Hadwin Stephenson would harm her.
âHadwin Stephenson, Iâll fight with you if you want!â said Jason.
Hadwin Stephenson sneered, raised his hand to touch the cheek that was slapped. âJason, whatâs the matter? Your wife slapped me in the face. Not only wonât you apologize, but youâre also going to bully me like this? Do you really think Iâm afraid to lay a hand on you just because Emerald City is your territory?â
âI told you, Iâll fight you if you want!â said Jason.
The two men confronted each other, and the atmosphere seemed like it would explode at any time.
Grace said, âHadwin Stephenson, I did slap you in the face, but I think one slap isnât enough! Lina was miserable enough when you broke up with her. Five years later, you messed with her again. Lina is lying in the hospital, but youâre here. planning to leave? What on earth does Lina mean to you?â
Hadwin Stephenson softly spat out the words, âWhatâs the matter? Are you trying to get justice for Lina? Listen to me, Lina is the one who doesnât want me. Sheâs the one whoâs trying to distance herself from me. She doesnât trust me at all! Iâm just leaving her life as she requested!â
âWhat happened between you two? Why did she suddenly change her attitude when she was planning to get back together with you? Did you two argue?â asked Grace.
Hadwin Stephenson froze a little. âLina was planning to get back together with me?â However, he soon laughed at himself. Lina had spoken to him so resolutely. There was no use dwelling on the past.
Hadwin Stephenson said coldly, âGrace, I donât have to tell you that. What happened between Lina and me is none of your business! I can forget about the slap today, but that doesnât mean you can do it again. If you do it again, I wonât let you off easily even though youâre the mistress of the Reed family!â
With that said, Hadwin Stephenson dragged his suitcase and left the VIP lounge.
Grace bit her lip slightly and turned to look at Jason. âWas I too pier 103.
impulsive just now? I just wanted to find out what happened, but..â
