Chapter 134
My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict!
âI wanted to find a more appropriate opportunity, a more acceptable occasion for her to find out.
âAnd yet, this⦠is possibly the worst way for her to find out.
âI was careless to not notice that she was standing behind me but⦠now that I think about it, in my conversation with Patrick, I donât think I mentioned my identity and yet Grace called out my name.
âWhich means⦠Grace already knew about my identity before coming across me? Who told her?â
Jason opened his eyes suddenly and instructed Terrence. âCheck Graceâs phone to see who she talked to recently!â
âYes.â Terrence came the hasty reply.
Terrence was able to find out in a momentâs time.â Mr. Reed, the most recent call Miss Cummins made today was at 6:35 in the evening. The owner of the number is Lina Sweeney.â
âLina Sweeneyâ¦â Jason narrowed his eyes. âI remember this woman. Sheâs Graceâs good friend.â
âGo and find out who Lina met today!â
Terrence hummed in agreement.
By then, the car had arrived at the entrance of the hospital where Mr. Reed was living.
Jason and Terrence exited the car. When they arrived at the entrance of the patient ward, Jason glanced at the bodyguard by the door and asked, âIs the Old Master asleep?â
âHeâs not,â the bodyguard replied respectfully.
Jason ordered Terrence to wait outside, then pushed open the door and entered the room.
Mr. Reed lay in bed, flipping through a photo album.
Jason recognized the album which was filled with photos of his father growing up. âAlthough the Old Master constantly complains about his sonâs failure to live up to his expectations, Dad used to be the pride and joy of the Old Master. The Old Master valued him the most.
âAnd meâ¦â Jason smirked internally. âIâm afraid the Old Master wishes to remove half of the blood and genes within me that I inherited from Mom.
âWhen I was young, the Old Master would be especially disgusted by my eyes because they look so much like Momâs.
As a child, there was a period of time when the Old Master didnât allow me to look at him because he would be disgusted at being looked at with eyes so similar to my motherâs.â
Jason pulled out a chair and sat before the Old Master. He said nothing and stared at the Old Master quietly. Both grandfather and grandson remained silent.
Finally, when Mr. Reed had finished flipping through the album, he raised his head to look at his grandson who sat before him.
His leisurely posture had an elegance despite him sitting casually. His outstanding appearance and incisive manner in handling matters were sharp and cold-blooded. Under his grandsonâs management, the Reed Groupâs territory has expanded exponentially.
âIn all fairness, my grandson is much more outstanding than my son. However, every time I recall that womanâs blood flowing through my grandson, I feel disgusted, as if I have just swallowed a fly.
âAnd yet, heâs the only bloodline my son left behind!â
âI looked into it. That woman is Grace. She was Sean Stevensâs girlfriend and she was the one who killed Jennifer Atkinson three years ago, wasnât she?â Mr. Reed asked coldly.
âYes,â Jason replied and the corners of his lips tugged up slightly.
âSheâs been to jail and sheâs just a sanitation worker. Do you plan to be with her and put the Reed family in the media headlines?â
