Chapter 139
In the past, Zoe would be exhilarated to face Jason in such close proximity. But now, she couldn’t wait
to get out of the
place.
“You’re here,” Jason said quietly.
Zoe put on a pitiful look and replied cautiously, “Mr. Reed, did you call for me for any specific reason?”
Grace’s expression was still confused. She did not know why Jason had made Zoe come here.
Jason smiled faintly and explained to Grace, “Sis, you still don’t know about this, right? On the second
night of Thanksgiving, your friend, Lina, had met Miss Stevens. She made things very difficult for your
friend.”
Grace was stunned for a moment, but soon she figured out the reason. That day, when they were
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtarguing in the mall, Lina had spoken up for her. Zoe knew that Lina was her friend, so if she had met
Lina, she would most likely vent her anger on her.
When Zoe heard Jason actually called Grace “Sis”, her eyes had almost popped out.
“No way! In Emerald City, what woman could be called that by
Jason?”
But the truth was that the one who could was a street
sweeper.
“Sis, do you want to know how she made things difficult for your friend that day?” Jason asked again.
“How… how did she make things difficult?” As she recalled the moment when Lina sacrificed herself for
her, Grace’s heart felt
as if it had been clogged.
“Why don’t we let Miss Stevens demonstrate it for us?” Jason spoke as if he was chit-chatting casually.
He got up, walked to the side of the bed, and then bent down and helped Grace put on a pair of shoes.
His movements were gentle and careful, and he even bent his knees and squatted down, holding her
foot in his palm.
Zoe felt wave after wave of shock. The fact that Jason called Grace “Sis” was already dramatic
enough, and now he was helping her to put on shoes.
Just what kind of charm did Grace have for Jason to protect
her like this?
What alarmed her more was that Jason had actually asked
her to demonstrate what she had done. How was she going to
demonstrate it again?
While Zoe was thinking, Grace had put on her shoes, and
Jason had carried her over to the sofa. Then he said to Zoe, “Let’s get started.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Start? Start what?” Zoe’s face was blank. Terrence, who
followed her into the ward, handed her a tissue and said gently, “Miss Stevens, please clean Miss
Cummins’s shoes. Just
like the day when Lina cleaned yours.”
Zoe’s face changed. “What did you say? You want me to wipe
her shoes?”
“This is what Mr. Reed wants,” Terrence said with a calm face.
Zoe ground her teeth and glared hatefully at Grace. How could she possibly clean the shoes of
someone she despised?
She did not know how Grace had managed to charm Jason!
“Mr. Reed, this woman is just a street sweeper, and she is very good at seducing men. When she was
with my brother, she played a lot of tricks. Otherwise, my brother would never have fallen in love with a
woman from an ordinary family background! Mr. Reed, please don’t be fooled by her!”
