Chapter 559 Acquittal?
After everybody moved on from the topic, Linda settled down tentatively beside Jason before asking, “Jason, you don’t seem to like the wedding.”
With a faint smile on his face, he answered, “What difference does my preference make? Let’s talk about something else.” Apparently, he didn’t want to talk about that.
“Sure. By the way, are there any updates regarding Scott’s murder?” Linda tried to gain more info on that, as she was certain that Jason would know about it.
“Miss Yard was acquitted. There might be further investigations regarding the case,” Jason informed her. When she heard that, the glass that she was holding slipped from her hand before shattering to pieces after falling onto the ground. The noise attracted everybody’s attention at once.
“Linda, did you hurt your hand? Let me take a look at it!” Lindsay was getting anxious all of a sudden. While the servants retrieved some utensils to proceed with cleaning up the shards, Jason was staring at Linda, looking perplexed. After all, he didn’t expect her to have such an exaggerated reaction.
As soon as Linda snapped back to her senses, she quickly consoled Lindsay. “It’s alright, Grandma. I’m fine. I just lost my grip on the glass. I’m sorry, Grandma. I didn’t do it on purpose.”
“It’s no big deal. Don’t apologize. All is well as long as you aren’t hurt,” said Lindsay while holding Linda’s hand. She was so worried that something wrong might happen to Linda. With that, the incident was over.
When it was time to sleep, Linda went to knock on Jason’s door. As soon as he saw her, a faint smile crept onto his face before he brought her into his room. “What’s the matter? Why are you here at this hour?”
