She was dating him now, so to speak. Therefore, if she was involved in any scandal with other men, it would be humiliating for him.
However, he did not think of the trouble he was causing her by
making their relationship public today. When the time came for them to break up, perhaps the only thing she could do is to change her job.
Lina Sweeney immediately laughed at herself. In the end, he was still getting even with her. The more miserable she was, the happier he would be.
All right, I see. I dont think anyone else will think that Im after their boyfriends anymore, said Lina Sweeney.
Hadwin Stephenson frowned a little. The way she was speaking somehow made him feel uncomfortable. It was as if she was emitting an invisible sense of alienation from her body, stretching the distance between them.
You dont like it? asked Hadwin Stephenson, squinting his

she saw the other day, Hattie Robson, seemed determined not to give up until Lina was found guilty. She apologized so soon?
Hadwin Stephenson came to my office, Lina Sweeney said
succinctly.
Grace understood what had happened after hearing about
Hadwin Stephensons involvement in the matter.
Grace was relieved that her best friend was all right. After she ended the call, she went online and was shocked when she
saw the news.
The news reported the demolition of a shopping mall, and it was expected to take a month. However, the problem was that the mall was only ten years old. It was rare for a mall that had only been built a couple of years to be demolished. Besides, the mall usually had a lot of customers, so the reason it was getting demolished was a mystery. The news of this prompted much speculation.
The official answer from the mall was simply that there were other purposes for the site.
What surprised Grace was that it was the same mall from which Lilys parents had kicked her out.
