"He's the chairman of Stephenson Group, the current patriarch of the Stephenson family," Jason said. Then, he looked somewhat strangely at Grace. "Don't you know who he is? Have you never heard Lina Sweeney mention him before?"
Grace shook her head. She was certain that she had never heard the name Hadwin Stephenson from her best friend.
However, she did know that Stephenson Group was not a local enterprise. They had corporations in Emerald City and was a famous shipping company.
Why was Lina associated with this Hadwin Stephenson? What puzzled her more was that the man earlier had said that Hadwin Stephenson captured her himself.
Did that mean that Hadwin Stephenson was actually in the Maybach she saw today?
She thought her best friend had been kidnapped, but now it seemed to be a different case.
"Then... I'll go find her!" Grace turned sharply, intending to follow the address she had just heard to find her best friend.
"Do you think you can get in there?" Jason said lightly.
"..." Grace suddenly stopped in her tracks and hesitated before saying, "Then... I'll talk to the police first and ask them to take me with them."
"In that case, I can guarantee 100% that you won't get in." Jason smiled gently and slowly walked up to Grace. As though looking at a naive child, he said, "Do you know what Hadwin Stephenson is like? There are 100 ways he can keep you from seeing your friends."
Grace naturally did not know what Hadwin Stephenson was like, so she could only look at the man in front of her.
Jason explained. "Hadwin Stephenson was originally an illegitimate child of the Stephenson family who was left abroad. His father had a lot of sons. Many of them were born out of wedlock, only two of them weren’t. How do you think a bastard who was not taken seriously could get to where he is now?"
Grace's heart sank. Jason did not say much, but she more or less understood what Hadwin Stephenson was like.
