Lina Sweeney's red face turned pale. Her lips trembled, and all she could say was "I'm sorry."
After all, she was the one who said those words, and she was the one who failed to do as she promised.
"You screwed me up," he said.
There was once again silence in the car. She did not know how long it took until the car finally stopped. Lina Sweeney followed Hadwin Stephenson out of the car only to find that it was the same mansion he had brought her to yesterday.
Lina Sweeney could not help stopping in her tracks at the thought of her being locked up inside last night.
"Why, are you afraid to go in?" Hadwin Stephenson turned his head to look at Lina Sweeney.
She tugged at the corners of her mouth, trying to force out a smile. "We can just talk outside. It's all the same."
Hadwin Stephenson gave a half-smile and said, "Lina Sweeney, I have many ways to keep you here if I want to, and I can guarantee that it won’t be easy for Jason to save you this time."
Lina Sweeney was stunned. She hesitated for a moment before gritting her teeth. Who cared? If he was going to hurt her, with her current state, she could not even stop him!
Lina Sweeney then stepped a few steps forward with vigorous strides.
Hadwin Stephenson smiled faintly and stepped forward.
As the two entered the mansion, Hadwin Stephenson pointed to a couch and said, "Sit."
