That girl was beaming brightly which was attracting a lot of attention. Reporters were trying to get pictures of that girl but Jason was protectively shielding her, beckoning his bodyguards to shoo them away. To strangers, they looked like a genuine couple.
Cain was also glaring at them. He had not forgotten the insult he faced and wanted to make the girl pay. But if everything went according to his plan, the girl would also die that night with his dear cousin.
His phone beeped, indicating that he received a message. Cain opened it and smirked. His men had already sabotaged the brakes of Jason’s car. He stealthily deleted the message and kept a passive face.
