Hes the chairman of Stephenson Group, the current patriarch of the Stephenson family, Jason said. Then, he looked somewhat strangely at Grace. Dont you know who he is? Have you never heard Lina Sweeney mention him before?
Grace shook her head. She was certain that she had never heard
the name Hadwin Stephenson from her best friend.
However, she did know that Stephenson Group was not a local enterprise. They had corporations in Emerald City and was a famous shipping company.
Why was Lina associated with this Hadwin Stephenson? What puzzled her more was that the man earlier had said that Hadwin Stephenson captured her himself.
Did that mean that Hadwin Stephenson was actually in the Maybach she saw today?
She thought her best friend had been kidnapped, but now it seemed to be a different case.
Then Ill go find her! Grace turned sharply, intending to follow
the address she had just heard to find her best friend.
Do you think you can get in there? Jason said lightly.
Grace suddenly stopped in her tracks and hesitated before saying, Then Ill talk to the police first and ask them to take me
with them.
In that case, I can guarantee 100 that you wont get in. Jason smiled gently and slowly walked up to Grace. As though looking at a naive child, he said, Do you know what Hadwin Stephenson is like? There are 100 ways he can keep you from seeing your
friends.
Grace naturally did not know what Hadwin Stephenson was like, so she could only look at the man in front of her.
Jason explained. Hadwin Stephenson was originally an illegitimate child of the Stephenson family who was left abroad. His father had a lot of sons. Many of them were born out of wedlock, only two of them werent. How do you think a bastard who was not taken seriously could get to where he is now?
Graces heart sank. Jason did not say much, but she more or less
understood what Hadwin Stephenson was like.
A bastard like him could not become as successful as he was now
without some scheming.
When she was a lawyer, she had also heard about how some rich. families would fight over property as well as some of the means and dark secrets that were unimaginable to ordinary people.
Grace looked at Jason. Then can you help me?
He glanced at her. Hadwin Stephenson wont kill your friend.
I know, but Grace bit her lip. She was still worried. She would
only feel at ease when she saw Lina and found out why Hadwin Stephenson had taken her. You can help me meet Hadwin Stephenson and get to the bottom of this.
She knew only too well what the name Jason meant in Emerald
City.

He was the only person she could ask for help from. If he would
just help her
He narrowed his eyes. She was begging him just for Lina Sweeney.
She had also begged him in front of the police station earlier. It was as if she could do just about anything for Lina Sweeney.
Just because Lina Sweeney always helped her with her case? His mind flashed through the words she had spoken of Lina Sweeney.
She was now begging him for Lina Sweeney because Lina Sweeney was her lifeline? A lifeline she could not let go?
Yes, I can take you to Hadwin Stephenson, but why should I help you? Ive helped you find out Lina Sweeneys whereabouts, and Ive also told you that Lina Sweeney is not in any danger. Im a
businessman, so Im not going to do anything thatll cause me a loss over and over again, Jason said darkly.
Grace bit her lip as her face grew pale. What could she give him
for his help?
