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!

residences in movies and dramas. There were many
lotus-related items there.
For example, lotus porcelains. The pillars 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

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 Jason coming 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 display
cose with a glass cover. Inside laid a long ancient sword.
Grace thought it was an ancient sword because of the blade’s
sheen and the degree of oxidation on the handle. It looked years old, and the blade was patchy with a lot of dark
brown
stuff that did not look like rust.
A full-length black 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

see if you were here.”
“Looking for me?” he asked lightly. He walked to the center of the room and approached the display case with the
ancient
sword.
“L… I want to contact Lina and Kyla. Lina will be worried if she
can’t find me, and Kyla…. 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 place.”
