Chapter 2001: Chapter 2001

Hadwin Stephenson said, “Since he cleared your name of his own accord, then I won’t touch him. But now it seems that he might not have framed you for the eight million dollars.”

“What do you mean?” Lina asked in confusion.

“Anthony Sherman’s sexual orientation is a little different,” he said.

“Sexual orientation?” Lina’s eyes instantly widened. She asked with a face of disbelief, “Do you mean he likes men?”

“Although he doesn’t have any intimate male lovers, he has been in and out of some special bars. He also regularly sees a psychological doctor. My mom bribed the psychological doctor and learned from them that Anthony Sherman is frustrated over having some inappropriate fantasies about men,” said Hadwin Stephenson.

Lina did not expect Anthony Sherman to have such a problem. ‘So he chose to frame me to keep his sexuality from being exposed?’

… If I think about it in another way, Hadwin’s mother wouldn’t have investigated everything about Anthony Sherman if I hadn’t gone on a blind date with him. Anthony Sherman wouldn’t have had to deal with this!/

“If he just didn’t want his private matters to be exposed, then I was the one who troubled him,” said Lina. Suddenly, she seemed to have recalled something. “Is your mother going to expose that information now that he posted a clarification?”

“Don’t worry, Yulai is just an abandoned pawn now. My mom probably won’t even bother with an abandoned pawn like him. If Anthony Sherman’s private information is exposed, it’ll only prove that you two are innocent,” said Hadwin Stephenson.

Lina thought about it and agreed, so she was finally relieved.

“Okay, this is the end of the matter. Stop thinking about Anthony Sherman. He’s… just a passerby in your life!” He disliked her thinking about another man, even if the man’s sexual orientation was a little different.

“I got it,” answered Lina. However, she seemed to say regretfully, “He could have just told me he was threatened with such a thing. I could have helped him think of a solution. He didn’t have to take things so far. Besides, I wouldn’t think less of him even if I found out. I’d even…”

“Help him find a boyfriend?” Hadwin Stephenson raised his eyebrows.

Lina’s expression instantly looked a little sheepish.

Just then, Hadwin Stephenson’s phone rang and he answered 1.

After listening to the other party for a moment, he said indifferently, “Okay, alright then.”

After the call ended, Lina could not help asking, “What’s the matter? Is there something wrong?”

Although he had the same expression, she could feel something different about him. At that instant, his body exuded loneliness.

“Nothing.” He smiled, looking like his usual self.

“Hadwin, if something happened, I hope you can tell me. Maybe I might not be able to help you, but at least I can listen, lest I worry for nothing,” she said.

She did not want to be the one receiving protection all the time. She wanted to share some of his burdens.

“It’s just that my mom has gone abroad. My staff was just informing me about it,” said Hadwin Stephenson.

“Your mom… has gone abroad?” Lina was a little surprised.

‘She went abroad… Does this mean his mom has run away in defeat?’
