    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 rtionship 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 immediatelyughed 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 don’t think anyone else will think that I’m after their boyfriends anymore,” said Lina


    Sweeney.


    Hadwin Stephenson frowned a little. The way she was speaking somehow made him feel


    ufortable. It was as if she was emitting an invisible sense of alienation from her body, stretching


    the distance between them.


    “You don’t like it?” asked Hadwin Stephenson, squinting his


    eyes,


    “No, you’re my boyfriend, and it’s the right thing to do,” Lina


    Sweeney replied with a smile. “What you did today embarrassed Hattie Robson and Taylor Carline in


    front of everyone, which is a relief to me, so that’s quite nice.”


    However, why did he feel as if she did not mean what she said? Did she know that he did that today


    just to im her under his wings in front of outsiders? It was so that she would


    not be easily bullied in his absence.


    Suddenly, Hadwin Stephenson took Lina Sweeney into his


    arms. His face came close to hers, and his voice whispered in


    her ear, “When will you fall in love with me, Lina Sweeney?”

    Lina Sweeney’s body stiffened a little. Falling in love with him meant the end of their current


    rtionship.


    ‘Soon,’ she said to herself. Soon, she would act as if she had fallen in love with him, and then… She


    would pretend she was falling a little more in love with him each day until he ‘dumped’


    her.


    Graceter called Lina Sweeney to ask how the police were handling the situation and whether she


    needed help. Lina Sweeney said, “It’s all right, it has been settled. Plus, my two colleagues have both


    apologized to me.”


    “They apologized?” Grace was a little surprised. The woman.


    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


    sinctly.


    Grace understood what had happened after hearing about


    Hadwin Stephenson’s 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 spection.


    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 Lily’s parents had kicked her out.


    What the hell was going on? Could it be a coincidence, or…
