    Chapter 824


    Hadwin Stephensonzily waved his


    hand. “It seems that you don’t want to


    apologize after bullying my girlfriend. As her boyfriend, I have to stand up for her. Otherwise, wouldn’t I


    turn myself into a


    joke?”


    The man was now lying t on his stomach. The spot where he was hit with Hadwin Stephenson’s


    punch hurt so much that he could no longer speak.


    Then, Hadwin Stephenson turned to Lily. “What about you, Miss Atkinson? Are you going to


    apologize?”


    The seemingly polite question had a dangerous tone to it. Lily even had the feeling that if she said no,


    she would end up like the man who was just beaten to the ground.


    The man in front of her would not have


    anypassion.


    Lily had now recognized the man in front of her. He was the new patriarch of the Stephenson family


    who just took office for more than half a year-Hadwin


    Stephenson.


    He managed to take over the


    Stephenson family with the identity of a b*stard, which meant he was no rookie in


    terms of schemes and trickery.


    The Stephenson family was now on a roll and was actively expanding in Emerald City. The Atkinson


    family had not been doing so well in recent years. Several


    major projects at hand had suffered


    losses. Some time ago, her father


    mentioned that he wanted to coborate


    with the Stephenson family on several


    projects.


    However, she did not expect that Hadwin Stephenson’s girlfriend was… Grace’s


    friend!


    Lily’s face paled as she pursed her red lips, only feeling that the world was smaller than she imagined.


    “You’re not apologizing?” Hadwin Stephenson’s voice rang again.


    A sentence escaped Lily’s mouth with much difficulty. “It’s my fault, Miss…”


    “Sweeney. My girlfriend’sst name is Sweeney,” said Hadwin Stephenson.


    “Miss Sweeney, please forgive me.” With that, Lily stepped on her high heels and left without turning


    back.


    Lina was still a little confused. From Hadwin Stephenson’s appearance to Lily apologizing and


    departure, everything happened too fast.


    It was not until Hadwin Stephenson took


    her into the VIP room of the auction and gave her a cup of juice to calm down that she finally came to


    her senses.


    While blinking, she sipped her juice and


    looked around the VIP room. It was a


    ce where even the director could not get in!


    “Are you here for the auction?” she


    asked.


    “Yeah. Real estate is the best way


    to make money nowadays. If the Stephenson family wants to expand in Emerald City, real estate would


    be the safest choice,” he replied.


    Then, Lina recalled that the Stephenson


    family did have any real estate


    “Why didn’t you call me? Were you really


    going to let yourself be dragged out if I


    didn’t happen to bump into you?” asked


    Hadwin Stephenson.


    Lina was stunned. Then, she said


    somewhatmely, “I forgot.”


    “You…” he said somewhat helplessly. “You never take my words to heart, do you?”


    He had told her more than once to call


    him if she was in trouble.


    However, she never seemed to


    remember.


    T


    ‘Not really… Lina said to herself. She took it to heart when he said he wanted to


    be the sword in her hand that day.

    It was because she cared so much about


    it that she kept thinking about it.


    “By the way, which plot are you going to bid for?” asked Lina as she changed the


    subject.


    “What do you think? Which one’s the


    best?” asked Hadwin Stephenson.


    Lina immediately pointed to the most popr plots and said, “This one, of course. They’re going to


    build aplex, right? I wonder which design firm will undertake this project. Wow, I’m itching


    just thinking about it.”


    Hadwin Stephenson nced at her


    thoughtfully. “Why, do you want to design


    aplex?”
