Chapter 824
Hadwin Stephenson lazily 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 flat 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
any compassion.
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
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtterms 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 collaborate
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’s last 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
place 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
companies.
“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
somewhat lamely, “I forgot.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“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
become 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 popular plots and said, “This one, of course. They’re going to build a complex,
right? I wonder which design firm will undertake this project. Wow, I’m itching
just thinking about it.”
Hadwin Stephenson glanced at her
thoughtfully. “Why, do you want to design
a complex?”
