Chapter 1117
My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict!
âTo the Jackson family, their biological daughter is the most important thing. As for Elizabeth Jackson, since sheâs not their biological daughter, sheâs only a sacrifice they can use.â Hadwin Stephenson continued saying, âThey thought that if they married Elizabeth Jackson to me, I would think that the Jackson family and I were of one mind. When the time comes, the Jackson family will defect and leave me with no power. Then, the Stephenson family will naturally belong to the first wife and her family.â
Linaâs mood fluctuated when she heard this. She felt that her IQ was not suitable for palace dramas!
âBut how do you know that Elizabeth Jackson isnât the Jackson familyâs biological daughter?â asked Lina.
âI found out, of course. If Iâm not even capable of doing this, how could I have taken control of the Stephenson family?â Hadwin Stephenson said with a laugh. His face was full of confidence.
Lina just thought her boyfriend looked good when he was confident. It made her have the urge to fangirl again.
âBut it looks like youâre a target now too,â said Hadwin Stephenson. The fact that Elizabeth Jackson found Lina today was a sign. Lina was stunned, âThen⦠What are we gonna do now?
Pretend to have a fight and break up or something?â
He did not know whether to laugh or cry after hearing her words. What was going on inside this womanâs head? âDonât even think about breaking up!â He bent down and bit her cheek a little as he spoke.
âAh!â Lina cried out in pain and touched the bite mark on her cheek. There were shallow teeth marks. âI said pretend, not break up for real.â
âNo, not even if weâre only pretending! Didnât we make a deal? We must never break up once we start dating!â He rubbed her head gently as he spoke, âDonât worry. Iâll settle the Stephenson familyâs affairs as soon as possible. At most, itâll be settled in three months!â
Three months? âWhat are you going to do?â asked Lina, suddenly feeling that Hadwin Stephenson seemed to be holding back something big.
âMake sure the first wife and her family can no longer cause trouble, of course,â said Hadwin Stephenson as his eyes stared at her. âI told you before that I wonât drag you into the Stephenson familyâs dirty mess, and Iâll keep my word!â
Lina smiled. âYes, I believe you. You can do it!â
Her trusting look stirred his heart. He leaned forward, and his lips gently pressed against the spot on her face where he had bitten her. âDoes it hurt?â
