    “However, you’d better take everything I’ve said to heart,” he


    said.


    Grace was shocked. What did he mean by that? Take it to


    heart…?


    He would marry her if she was willing to marry him. Did he


    know what that meant?


    Grace’s mind was all messed up until they got into the car. Once the car reached the Reed Residence,


    she followed Jason out of the car and was just about to enter the house when he stopped abruptly.


    “By the way, it’s not that I’ve never starved,” he said. “There were times when I was so hungry I thought


    I would die.”


    When he was still young, his father passed away, and his body was cremated. Jason remained in the


    small shabby house while holding onto the urn filled with his father’s ashes. At that


    time, he was famished. He was so hungry that he almost lost his strength. He only narrowly missed


    death.


    Finally, a neighbor knocked on the door and offered him something to eat. It was only then did he


    recover his strength


    and vigor.


    Grace was stunned and looked at him in surprise. When he said this, his light tone made her feel a little


    distressed.


    She thought of the childhood stories he had previously told her when he was still Jay.


    His mother left him and his father… died in the snow. Before he joined the Reed family, he must have


    led a tough life…


    She could not help but slightly fold her hands that were on the sides of her body. Earlier when he said


    thosest few words, she even unconsciously wanted to pat his head andfort him as she used to


    do before.


    However, it urred to her in the next moment that he was not Jay. He was Jason, someone she was


    not supposed to


    touch.


    At the Cummins family house, Evelyn was crying out to her parents about the grievances she faced


    while at the filming


    site.


    “Why should I kneel before Sis in front of so many people? She knows Jason and didn’t tell us. She did


    that on purpose! She just wanted to see me make a fool of myself!” Evelyn sobbed.


    “What? She knows Jason?” Tony Cummins was taken aback. “Which Jason is it? It can’t be Jason from


    Reed Group.”


    Few people in Emerald City did not know the name Jason.


    As soon as Evelyn saw her father’s excited expression, she knew what he was thinking. “Dad, even if


    Sis knows Jason now, do you think he’s serious about her? Don’t forget that it was Jason’s fiancee


    whom Sis ran over and killed. Who knows what


    he’s thinking.”


    “That’s right!” Melinda Riley chimed in and said, “I suppose


    it’s the wealthy’s revenge. He’s probably trying to praise her highly before letting her fall. Isn’t that what


    happens in a lot of


    TV dramas?”


    Their words were like a basin of cold water, instantly putting


    out the ideas Tony Cummins had in his mind.


    They were right. His daughter was only a sanitation service worker who had been to prison. Who was


    Jason? Could he take a fancy to a sanitation service worker who had been to


    prison?


    “Besides, Sis was deliberately friendly to Brian. This made Brian misunderstand me and think that I


    have something against her.” Evelyn continuedining. “Dad, what kind of older sister will do that?


    Other people’s older sisters are


    happy to see their younger sister doing well, but my sister is holding me back!”


    Tony Cummins frowned.


    Evelyn was continuing her efforts. “If Brian breaks up with me because of Sis, I don’t know what I’ll do. I
