Whats the matter? You dont want to go? asked Jason, frowning slightly.
Am I fit to go? Grace took a deep breath, looked up, and asked, Jason, if I accompany you to the banquet, a lot of people might recognize me. Ive met a lot of people when I was with Sean Stevens Besides, Ive been to prison
So what? said Jason, shrugging it off. Youre the one for me. So what if youve been to prison? So what if youre recognized?
As he spoke, he took her hand, drew it to his lips, and kised it softly. Didnt you bring me home when I was like a vagrant on the streets, Sis? Did you ever think if I was someone fit for you to bring home? Whether youre a princess or a beggar, I want you to stand by my side.
His kis fell on her hand. Her fingers felt a tingling sensation. that went all the way to her heart.
Slowly, he raised his gaze and stared at her with his dark,
deep eyes. Besides, youre going to stand by me for the rest of your life. If you worry now, what about the future? When

Grace pressed her lips together and finally said, All right, Ill go with you.
No matter what she had to face at the banquet, she was willing to accompany him because she loved him too. Since he had no fear of gossip, she had nothing to fear.
Then its settled. His fingers slightly grabbed her chin as his face slowly drew close to hers.
She immediately knew what he was going to do. She lifted her
chin submissively, feeling his lips fall on hers.
His kis was so tender and reassuring
At the Stevens mansion.

Sean Stevens asked his wife with a puzzled look, Why is your familys mall suddenly getting demolished? Didnt they invest a lot of money in the mall? Its also operating just fine. Why are they demolishing it? No matter what theyre going to build, it wont make as much money as this mall!
At the mention of the mall, Lilys face paled a little. Of course, she knew that the mall was making money. The demolition was a big blow to the Atkinson family, but they had to do it to save themselves.
Otherwise, they would lose much more than a mere mall.
Jason wanted it demolished. Can the Atkinson family stop him? asked Lily.
Sean Stevens was flabbergasted. Whats going on? Why would Jason want to demolish your familys mall?
