Chapter 449

โ€œNothing. I just want to hold you like this for a while,โ€ he whispered, burying his face in her neck and inhaling her scent. It felt as if simply hugging her offered him comfort.

Grace thought Jason's behavior was a little childishโ€”like a child clinging to a precious toy. She was the toy.

She raised a hand and gently hugged him back. As her arms encircled him, his body trembled slightly. After a moment, his low voice reached her ears. โ€œI like the way youโ€™re holding me, Sis. Will you hold me a little longer?โ€

His tone was affectionate. She couldn't refuse.

โ€œSure,โ€ she replied, continuing to hold him. They remained silent, letting time pass.

Early the next morning, Lina Sweeney arrived at the Reed Residence to pick them up, accompanied by Hadwin Stephenson, who served as the driver. However, the car was Lina Sweeney's less expensive vehicle.

At the Reed Residence gate, Hadwin Stephenson and Jason exchanged a look while Lina Sweeney ushered Grace into the backseat for their girlfriends' gathering, where they could converse more freely. Due to Grace's busy schedule, they only managed to meet every two or four weeks.

โ€œIs Hadwin Stephenson driving later?โ€ Grace asked, noting he had driven them there.

โ€œYes,โ€ Lina Sweeney shrugged. โ€œWhen it comes to driving, let the men handle it.โ€ Hadwin Stephenson owned a multi-million dollar luxury car, but Lina Sweeney considered it too ostentatious for a visit to the detention center. She also worried about a potential accident if they switched drivers mid-journey. She was accustomed to driving her less-expensive car; even if it were damaged, repairs wouldn't be exorbitantly costly. Therefore, she insisted on driving.

Fortunately, Hadwin Stephenson didn't object and drove her car.

โ€œDo you have any key questions you want to ask him today?โ€ Lina Sweeney asked, referring to their purpose for the visit.

Grace nodded. โ€œThey're all in my notes, but I can't speak to him directly. He probably still remembers what I look like.โ€

โ€œHadwin Stephenson hired a mediator,โ€ Lina Sweeney explained. โ€œThe mediator will ask the key questions.โ€

Grace hadn't anticipated Hadwin Stephenson's attention to detail. โ€œBy the way, how did the witness get into the detention center?โ€ She found it suspicious that the witness was conveniently in detention during their investigation, especially with a mediator already involved.

Lina Sweeney chuckled. โ€œHadwin Stephenson arranged for a group of people to get drunk and cause trouble with the man. Then, he instigated a fight, resulting in the man's detention.โ€

Grace was speechless.

โ€œThat witness, You, wasn't a good man anyway,โ€ Lina Sweeney added without sympathy. โ€œHe profited handsomely from your case and got off lightly with just detention.โ€
