    Chapter 1079


    She thought of getting out of here by pretending to love him.


    However… How long could she ‘pretend”? Unless she could


    keep this up forever, it would end up badly when Jason found


    out she lied to him.


    More importantly, she did not want to use her feelings to


    deceive his feelings!


    The mansion wasrge. The buildings and pavilions inside. were just like those seen in rich and


    powerful families’


    residences in movies and dramas. There were many


    lotus-rted items there.


    For example, lotus porcins. The pirs and beams also had carvings of lotus flowers. Some antique


    furniture also had lotus carvings, not to mention the lotus pond in the yard.


    The lotus flowers here were still in full bloom even though it


    was already past their season, which was really strange.


    The owner of the mansion probably liked lotus flowers very


    much.


    ‘Or maybe… It was the woman imprisoned here back then. who was fond of lotus flowers? Grace


    thought to herself.


    Grace walked around the house, looking for Jason.


    Though he kept her in the mansion, he did not restrict her movements in it. At least she was ‘free’


    within the confines of the mansion, so to speak.


    Finally, she stopped when she reached a passage and looked into one of the rooms.


    She remembered seeing Jasoning out of this room once.


    ‘Would he… be in the room?”


    She stepped forward and knocked twice on the door. When she heard no answer, she pushed open the


    door.


    However, to her surprise, it was a dark room.


    The room was small and heavy curtains covered the windows.


    The furnishings in the room were also simple… It was probably


    too simple, for the entire room consisted of a single disy


    cose with a ss cover. Insideid a long ancient sword.


    Grace thought it was an ancient sword because of the de’s


    sheen and the degree of oxidation on the handle. It looked years old, and the de was patchy with a

    lot of dark brown


    stuff that did not look like rust.


    A full-length ck curtain hid the wall in front of the shelf.


    The room was rather odd, so to speak.


    However, she could see that Jason was not here.


    Grace was about to leave when suddenly, she heard footsteps. behind her. Then Jason’s cold voice


    rang out. “Why are you.


    here?”


    Grace immediately turned around and that handsome face.


    caught her eye. “I was looking for you. I entered this room to


    see if you were here.”


    “Looking for me?” he asked lightly. He walked to the center of the room and approached the disy


    case with the ancient


    sword.


    “L… I want to contact Lina and K. Lina will be worried if she


    can’t find me, and K…. I’m representing her in her custody case. I can’t get out of here right now…


    And her case is also a


    little difficult.”


    He pursed his thin lips as those dark eyes stared at her,


    examining the truth of her words.


    Grace said, “I’m just contacting them to tell them something.


    I’m not going to say anything more than that Besides, even


    if I do say something, they wouldn’t be able to take me away


    even if they did find this ce.”
