He already knew what was going on when Lina Sweeney hired the private investigator to investigate the witness.
Everything was fine. The evidence Lina Sweeney found had been given to her by him. However, Terrence did not expect there to be some unknown people investigating this as well. They had not even found out who was the one investigating that case from back then.
Jason lowered his eyelids slightly and curled his fingers. His pointer finger tapped on the surface of his desk like he was thinking about something. After a while, he said three words, “Hadwin Stephenson.”
“What?” Terrence was shocked.
“Go investigate Hadwin Stephenson. He might be the one investigating this.”
“Hadwin Stephenson? Hadwin Stephenson from Stephenson Group?” Terrence said. He did not know how his boss connected Hadwin Stephenson to this.
“Yeah, it’s him,” Jason said. If there were people who were skilled enough to prevent Terrence from tracking them, then
Hadwin Stephenson must be one of them.
If Hadwin Stephenson was really investigating this, then it might be because of Lina Sweeney.
Lina Sweeney… Jason rubbed his temple. He underestimated her. If Hadwin Stephenson found something one day, then he might need to fight him.
Lina Sweeney looked at Hadwin Stephenson helplessly. “Your really want to meet my parents?”
“Didn’t you say your parents want to meet me?” Hadwin
Stephenson asked lazily.
The man was wearing a suit, accentuating his perfect features. He looked like a prince from a manga. People might not believe that her boyfriend was someone like this.
Lina Sweeney wanted to sigh into the heavens. She recalled what had happened these few days and thought that she was extremely miserable.
Everything started from that blind date. She thought that since everything had already gone to sh*t, that would be the end of it.
To her surprise, she was scolded furiously by her mother the moment she got home after the blind date. Her mother questioned her about why she did not tell them that she had a boyfriend. The person who introduced her to the blind date even called her parents and scolded them. They said she embarra**ed the entire family.
Then, her parents started to ask her who her boyfriend was.
When this happened, Lina Sweeney denied it, of course. She said he was just a friend who pa**ed by. He knew she did not want to go on the blind date, so he tried to help her.
In the end, her parents asked her which friend it was, so she said the name of a guy who was quite close to her. She decided to plan out their statements after this.
In the end, before they could do that, Hadwin Stephenson called her. Before she could answer, her mother snatched her phone away from her hand and started chatting with him.
Naturally, when her mother asked him what was his relationship with her, he answered, “Aunty, I am her boyfriend.”
Great. That statement was like a bomb. The entire Sweeney family was in chaos. Mrs. Sweeney invited Hadwin Stephenson to their house over the phone. Lina Sweeney wanted to snatch. back her phone a few times but was stopped by her father’s stern gaze every time.
Eventually, when this call ended, Lina Sweeney was scolded by her parents for two hours.
“You little rascal, what’s so shameful about having a boyfriend? Even if your boyfriend is hideous and even if he has a horrible job, the least you can do is tell your family about this. How long were you planning to hide this from us? Did you only plan to tell us if you get pregnant?”
“…” Lina Sweeney swore she had never thought about this before.
However, she could not tell her parents that she was only dating Hadwin Stephenson just for show and that they would break up after he got his revenge.
If she said this, the thing about her exploiting someone before leaving would get dug out once again.
Hence, she could only accept her faith. Then, she found an appropriate time and invited him back home according to her parents’ orders.
She had mentally prepared herself. However, when she walked into her residential area, she started to question herself again.
Just look at Hadwin Stephenson and look at his family background. Even though he was an illegitimate child, he was the person in charge of the Stephenson family now. He controlled the entire Stephenson family.
Perhaps a lot of mothers-in-law would fight for a man like him.
“Why are you looking at me like that? Are you scared that your parents won’t like me?” Hadwin Stephenson asked.
“..” Lina Sweeney rolled her eyes. She was scared that her parents would like him. When they broke up eventually, her parents might fall into depression while she felt nothing at all.
She took in a deep breath like she was accepting her fate.
“Let’s go.” She was going to die either way, so since her parents already knew of his existence, they would definitely want to meet him.
Lina Sweeney led Hadwin Stephenson into her residential area. When they got to her block, she pressed the elevator.
The elevator got here after a short while. However, the people who got out were Lina Sweeney’s neighbors. When they saw Lina Sweeney, they started greeting her. “Lina, you’re back. This must be your boyfriend.”
Her neighbor said and kept looking at Hadwin Stephenson.
Lina Sweeney hesitated. Before she could get back to her senses, Hadwin Stephenson opened his mouth and replied, “Yeah, I’m Lina’s boyfriend.”
“Hehe, I think I’ll be able to attend your wedding party soon.” The neighbor laughed before saying urgently, “Lina, your mother has been nagging the entire day. She’s waiting to meet your boyfriend.”
Lina Sweeney was feeling awkward. She finally knew why her neighbor knew that Hadwin Stephenson was her boyfriend.
It seemed that her mother had already announced this to everyone.
They walked into the elevator. Lina Sweeney looked at Hadwin
Stephenson. The other party was looking at her with a half-smile on his face.
She blushed uncontrollably. She hesitated for a while and reminded him. “Um… My parents might be a little worried since I’ve never had a boyfriend before. Just deal with them the best you can later, okay? I’ll find an excuse to bring you out.”
“What? You’ve never had a boyfriend before?” He lifted his eyebrows and bent down. He stared at her with his deep, black eyes.
Lina Sweeney’s heart sped up. As someone who was obsessed with looks, it was easy to make her heart speed up. She just had to look at a beautiful face like his.
“Haha… I’m busy with work, so I never had one,” she answered awkwardly.
“Really? I thought you’d say that you still can’t forget about me. It would’ve made me happier,” he said.
She almost choked on her saliva.
Could not forget about him? Really?
Alright, she would recall everything back then and treat it as a dream.
Ding dong!
The elevator got to their floor and both of them walked out of the elevator. Lina Sweeney walked to her house, taking out her keys to open the door.
