Sean wanted to repent before Jason had a chance to do anything more damaging to the Stevens family.
But he didn’t get the opportunity to meet him.
He placed multiple calls to Jason Reed’s beta, Terrence. But that went nowhere.
It didn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out that Jason Reed was dodging him.
But Sean couldn’t let it go.
He had to protect his family.
In a bold move that he acknowledged could blow up in his face, he went to Grace’s apartment, and stood by the entrance.
When Sean noticed a Bentley parked not far away from the property and a figure getting out of the car, he hurriedly got out of his Ferrari to approach the man.
"Alpha Reed, the incident that happened before was because my sister did not have any sense of propriety. But I have compensated Miss Cummins and will make further reparations. Please show your moral superiority by being merciful and letting the Stevens Pack be,” Sean pleaded.
"Let the Stevens Pack be?” Jason snorted lightly.
"If you have any conditions, please list them. I will accept any request that I am capable of fulfilling.”
Jason’s dark eyes were cold and there was none of the mercy that Sean had called upon. Sean’s blood seemed to congeal in his veins.
"Come to think of it, I owe you a favor," Jason said suddenly.
"A favor?" Sean was stunned. And wary. ”When would you, Alpha, have a need for a favor?” He laughed nervously. “But of course, whatever you might need.”
"How about this? I'll let the Stevens Family off the hook, as long as Zoe does not attend your engagement dinner," Jason said calmly.
Sean waited a few seconds to see what else Jason would require. “Is that all?”
Jason only stared at him.
Sean let out a sigh of relief. Keeping Zoe away? That wasn’t such a big deal. Sure, there would be a lot of ruffled feathers both with his parents and sister, but ultimately, even if Zoe wasn’t there, they could all save face.
"Thank you, sir," Sean said hurriedly. “I’ll see to it.”
"Don't thank me. I should be the one thanking you instead." Jason placed a hand on Sean's shoulder, slowly tilting his body to be within earshot and speaking in a low voice that only the two of them could hear. "I should thank you for breaking up with Grace so thoroughly back then. If you hadn't broken up with her, I'm afraid I would have had to put more effort into it now."
Jason's statement was relayed gently, as if he was taking part in an appreciative chat between friends.
If I hadn't broken up with Grace in the first place, then would I have been Jason's current target?
