“All right. Let’s go, Grace.!” Jason walked away holding Grace’s hand.
Grace followed Jason with no object
Tyler Barber looked at Andrea Schwartz and said disapprovingly, “Andrea, why did you mention that your friend went to prison? Fortunately, Mr. Reed already knows about it. If he didn’t, it will embarra** them both. They may even break up.”
‘I did it on purpose!’ Andrea Schwartz said bitterly in her heart. When she saw Jason’s cup of coffee that was left on the table, she saw that he had only taken a sip of this expensive coffee.
“Hmph. I think her boyfriend is not as good as he looks. He only took a sip of the coffee before he stopped drinking it. I’m guessing he has never had a good cup of coffee before and doesn’t know how to enjoy the good things.” Andrea Schwartz felt that her guess was right.
A man who did not mind if a woman had been to prison before and was even willing to marry a sanitation service worker was probably just a loser. His only saving grace was that he was pretty good looking.
“Don’t you say that about other people, Andrea.” Tyler Barber frowned slightly. He did not like his girlfriend to talk about her friends like that.
Andrea Schwartz paid no attention to it. She just called the waiter and tried to pick up the bill, but the waiter said, “Your bill has been paid by the other gentleman’s subordinate earlier.”
Subordinate?
Andrea Schwartz blinked her eyes. The man named Jason had subordinates? Why did they not see them just now?
He… even paid the bill? It was not cheap. Although it was just several cups of coffee, it was still close to 1000 dollars.
The average working-cla** could not afford it.
Did the guy just pay the bill without saying anything?
Who the hell was this man? Was he showing off or was he actually rich? As Andrea Schwartz thought about this, her expression became more distorted.
On the other hand, once Jason and Grace walked out of the shopping mall, Grace suddenly said, “I won’t take what you said just now to heart. I know you said it on purpose for
Andrea Schwartz to hear.”
“Your former colleague is not that great,” Jason said.
Grace had nothing to say. If she and Jason were really lovers, then what Andrea Schwartz said just now was clearly meant to create trouble.
“However, you’d better take everything I’ve said to heart,” he said.
Grace was shocked. What did he mean by that? Take it to heart…?
He would marry her if she was willing to marry him. Did he know what that meant?
Grace’s mind was all messed up until they got into the car. Once the car reached the Reed Residence, she followed Jason out of the car and was just about to enter the house when he stopped abruptly.
“By the way, it’s not that I’ve never starved,” he said. “There were times when I was so hungry I thought I would die.”
When he was still young, his father pa**ed away, and his body was cremated. Jason remained in the small shabby house while holding onto the urn filled with his father’s ashes. At that time, he was famished. He was so hungry that he almost lost his strength. He only narrowly missed death.
Finally, a neighbor knocked on the door and offered him something to eat. It was only then did he recover his strength and vigor.
Grace was stunned and looked at him in surprise. When he said this, his light tone made her feel a little distressed.
She thought of the childhood stories he had previously told her when he was still Jay.
His mother left him and his father… died in the snow. Before he joined the Reed family, he must have led a tough life…
She could not help but slightly fold her hands that were on the sides of her body. Earlier when he said those last few words, she even unconsciously wanted to pat his head and comfort him as she used to do before.
However, it occurred to her in the next moment that he was not Jay. He was Jason, someone she was not supposed to touch.
At the Cummins family house, Evelyn was crying out to her parents about the grievances she faced while at the filming site.
“Why should I kneel before Sis in front of so many people? She knows Jason and didn’t tell us. She did that on purpose! She just wanted to see me make a fool of myself!” Evelyn sobbed.
“What? She knows Jason?” Tony Cummins was taken aback. “Which Jason is it? It can’t be Jason from Reed Group.”
Few people in Emerald City did not know the name Jason.
As soon as Evelyn saw her father’s excited expression, she knew what he was thinking. “Dad, even if Sis knows Jason now, do you think he’s serious about her? Don’t forget that it was Jason’s fiancee whom Sis ran over and killed. Who knows what he’s thinking.”
“That’s right!” Melinda Riley chimed in and said, “I suppose it’s the wealthy’s revenge. He’s probably trying to praise her highly before letting her fall. Isn’t that what happens in a lot of
TV dramas?”
Their words were like a basin of cold water, instantly putting out the ideas Tony Cummins had in his mind.
They were right. His daughter was only a sanitation service worker who had been to prison. Who was Jason? Could he take a fancy to a sanitation service worker who had been to prison?
“Besides, Sis was deliberately friendly to Brian. This made Brian misunderstand me and think that I have something against her.” Evelyn continued complaining. “Dad, what kind of older sister will do that? Other people’s older sisters are happy to see their younger sister doing well, but my sister is holding me back!”
Tony Cummins frowned.
Evelyn was continuing her efforts. “If Brian breaks up with me because of Sis, I don’t know what I’ll do. I really love Brian, Dad.”
“Now that Grace can’t get anything good in her life, she doesn’t want Evelyn to live happily either!” Melinda Riley said angrily. “If she ruins Evelyn’s relationship with Brian, I’m going to kill her!”
However, Tony Cummins said, “Is there a misunderstanding here?” After all, Grace was also his daughter. It did not matter to him which daughter was going to be with Brian.
The key was that he could be Brian’s father-in-law.
“What misunderstanding can there be? She’s just trying to climb the social ladder!” Melinda Riley said. “How else does she know Jason? Doesn’t she know that she’s an ex-convict? Will anyone take her seriously?”
