Such an intimate action sent chills running down the manager and Mr. Grant’s spines as fear crept into their hearts.
It was said that Jason never had any woman beside him all this while. Even with his late fiancée, Jennifer Atkinson, both of them remained courteous toward each other. Nobody ever saw him being so close to another woman before.
Plus, he was demanding justice for a woman in public?
Maria knelt and stuttered as she made her apology. “Grace, it... it is my fault. I shouldn’t have said such things to you. I... I’ll never do that again. Please forgive me!”
Grace observed Maria but did not feel any pity for her. After all, Maria had never been merciful toward her either. Grace was not a saint who could sympathize with someone who had always mocked her.
However, she just did not like such methods. Even if Maria had knelt down to apologize, she did not have a sliver of pleasure in her heart.
“Sis, do you want to forgive her?” Jason mumbled to her as if giving her a chance to decide.
“You can make the decision.” Grace lowered her lids. “I’m hungry and want to eat.”
“That’s right. Let’s go,” Jason said as he once again held Grace’s hand and motioned for the manager to lead the way.
The manager immediately led the way while Maria was still dumbfounded as she continued to kneel on the ground, unable to digest what had just happened.
Did Jason address Grace as ‘sis’?
What is the meaning of that? Since when did Grace become Jason’s sister? But the problem is... The body language that Jason portrayed toward Grace is not of a brother-sister relationship. Instead, it’s more like... between lovers!
After Jason left, Mr. Grant bellowed at Maria, “Don’t drag me along even if you have a death wish! Remember this, it’s not because I don’t want to help your family, it’s because you have offended Jason. I’m powerless to help you.”
With that said, Mr. Grant headed for the restaurant exit.
