But the truth was that the one who could was a street sweeper.
“Sis, do you want to know how she made things difficult for your friend that day?” Jason asked again.
“How… how did she make things difficult?” As she recalled the moment when Lina sacrificed herself for her, Grace’s heart felt as if it had been clogged.
“Why don’t we let Miss Stevens demonstrate it for us?” Jason spoke as if he was chit-chatting casually. He got up, walked to the side of the bed, and then bent down and helped Grace put on a pair of shoes.
His movements were gentle and careful, and he even bent his knees and squatted down, holding her foot in his palm.
Zoe felt wave after wave of shock. The fact that Jason called Grace “Sis” was already dramatic enough, and now he was helping her to put on shoes.
Just what kind of charm did Grace have for Jason to protect her like this?
What alarmed her more was that Jason had actually asked her to demonstrate what she had done. How was she going to demonstrate it again?
While Zoe was thinking, Grace had put on her shoes, and
Jason had carried her over to the sofa. Then he said to Zoe, “Let’s get started.”
“Start? Start what?” Zoe’s face was blank. Terrence, who followed her into the ward, handed her a tissue and said gently, “Miss Stevens, please clean Miss Cummins’s shoes. Just like the day when Lina cleaned yours.”
Zoe’s face changed. “What did you say? You want me to wipe her shoes?”
“This is what Mr. Reed wants,” Terrence said with a calm face.
Zoe ground her teeth and glared hatefully at Grace. How could she possibly clean the shoes of someone she despised?
She did not know how Grace had managed to charm Jason!
“Mr. Reed, this woman is just a street sweeper, and she is very good at seducing men. When she was with my brother, she played a lot of tricks. Otherwise, my brother would never have fallen in love with a woman from an ordinary family background! Mr. Reed, please don’t be fooled by her!”
Zoe kept trying to smear Grace with all her might.
Jason casually fiddled with Grace’s fingers and said faintly, “What’s wrong with wiping shoes for a street sweeper? Even if it was the mayor’s daughter, she would still have to do it!”
Zoe was speechless. Obviously, she couldn’t be compared to the mayor’s daughter.
“Miss Stevens, please hurry up. Mr. Reed doesn’t have much.
patience.” Terrence urged, “If runs out of patience, you won’t just be wiping shoes.”
Zoe reluctantly bit her lips. However, no matter how unwilling she was, she could only walk towards Grace one step at a time. Then, she bent down and began to wipe her already cleaned shoes with a tissue.
Grace looked at Zoe with daze. She never thought that such a scene would happen. But, did Lina have to go through this as well?
At that time, what would she be feeling?
Grace felt sorry for her good friend. At the same time, she also seemed to vaguely understand why Jason had called Zoe over and then made her enact this scene.
He wanted to tell her that he could easily do whatever he wanted. Even those who were arrogant and despised her, as long as he commanded, they could only kneel down and obediently wipe her shoes.
Zoe worked for a while and said, “Mr. Reed, this should be enough, right?”
Jason raised his lips into a smile. “Not yet. How can this be enough?”
At this moment, Terrence stepped forward and said to Zoe, “Miss Stevens, sorry if I offend you.” Then, he calmly stepped on the back of her hand.
Zoe suddenly cried out in pain, “Mr… Mr. Reed, what are you doing?”
“He’s just doing what you had done to Lina that night. Did you not?” Jason asked back.
Zoe, of course, had done this, so now she couldn’t even reply.
At this moment, Jason spoke to Grace in a gentle voice, “Sis, didn’t you say Lina is very important to you? Then I will help you vent the anger for her, are you satisfied?”
His appearance seemed to be pure as if he was simply trying to please her.
As he spoke, his hands were still playing with her left hand,
pushing his fingers into hers, and then slowly clasping the back of her hand… then their fingers interlocked.
Grace felt that her left hand was completely stiff in his grasp.
It was burning hot, and she wanted to pull away.
However, as if she had lost control of her own body, she couldn’t move her hand at all.
She had never seen Jason acting this way. He could do such a thing while talking and laughing. But maybe this was the real him. What she had seen in the past was just an act.
Zoe felt a heart-wrenching pain on the back of her hand. If he continued to step on it like this, her hand might end up the same as her foot.
“Mr. Reed, my… my hand is going to break. Mr. Reed, please…please let me go.” Zoe was in so much pain that she was weeping for mercy. She had completely lost her usual composure.
However, Jason did not even bother to look at Zoe. He just said to Grace, “Sis, what do you think? Is it enough?”
At this point, no matter how much she resented Grace, Zoe could only beg her for mercy.
“Grace, I… I know I was wrong. I shouldn’t have treated your friend like that. I… I can apologize to your friend. Please, spare me.”
Grace looked at Zoe, who was crying bitterly at this moment. She knew very well that she was begging for mercy because of Jason, not because of her.
Seeing the state that Zoe was in, she didn’t have any sympathy for her at all. When she thought about how Lina had been treated like this, she hated her even more, and she blamed herself as well.
She would rather accept the humiliation herself instead of making Lina suffer.
Lina had already sacrificed so much for her. Ever since Grace was released from prison, she hadn’t been able to make it up to Lina even though she had suffered such hardships because of her.
“Then, I want you to apologize to Lina in front of everyone who witnessed the scene that day. You will also be responsible for paying the medical bills, work compensation, and so on,”
Grace said.
Zoe nodded and agreed without hesitation. Apologies and compensations were such a small price to pay for not breaking her hand.
Terrence removed his foot. Zoe held the hand that had been stepped on, and she was in so much pain that she couldn’t even hold her walking stick.
Jason then ordered Terrence, “Tell Sean to come in and take his sister away.”
“Yes,” Terrence answered and retrieved Sean from outside the ward.
