Cherry thought to herself, 'Jackson will never tell me about the huge money transfer, and even if he does, how do I know if he's telling me the truth or not? I don't want to question his words, I really want to believe him, but there are still so many things that I don't know about and so much doubt in my mind. No, I can't trust him.'
"Jackson, can you please tell me what happened between you and Stephen?" asked Cherry.
Jackson could tell from Cherry's words that she had only seen the photos in the bedside table's drawer, but not the ones under the dressing table.
"That's none of your business, and there's no need for you to know anything about it, " answered Jackson coldly.
Cherry's expression changed a bit. She then looked into Jackson's eyes, and helplessly said, "I'm your wife, Jackson, why do you have to conceal things from me? Why can't I know about it? I don't feel safe around you anymore. How could I not be scared when I don't even know my own husband?"
Jackson felt anguished when he saw the sad look in Cherry's eyes, and his expression softened a bit. "Cherr, sometimes it's better for you not to know too much about some things. I'm just trying to protect you, " said Jackson in a more tender manner.
"But I want to know, " said Cherry, as she suddenly grabbed Jackson's arm. In a firm and serious manner, she then continued to say, "I'm not asking you for the Moon, I only want to know everything that concerns my own husband. After that, be sure that I will obediently stay with you and never leave your side ever again."
After Jackson heard Cherry's words, his determination was somehow shaken. He yearned so much that the woman in front of him would be always at this side, but in the same time he was also afraid that if she knew everything then things would slip under his control, and he might not be able to protect her anymore.
Jackson didn't reply to Cherry's words, and instead he shook his arm, turned around, and walked slowly back to the living room.
When Cherry saw Jackson walking away, she knew that Jackson wouldn't tell her a thing. She had already guessed the outcome, and she knew that no matter how hard she begged and pleaded, he still wouldn't change his mind.
Disappointed, Cherry also turned around on her way upstairs, but as soon as she made a couple of steps, Jackson's voice sounded in her ears again.
"If you dare to ask anyone else about this, I won't guarantee that I won't do something bad to you, " said Jackson coldly.
Cherry stopped and listened to Jackson's words. She could easily tell from his tone that if she asked anyone about it, she would be looking for trouble for both herself and the other
Falling from nobility, Zen Luo became a humble slave and served as a human punchbag for his former cousins. Inadvertently, he found a way to refine himself into a weapon and a legend started because of that. With a strong belief in never surrender, he strove for revenges and pursued big dreams. Warriors from various clans contended for hegemony and the world was stirred. Relying on the body that was comparable to a powerful weapon, Zen beat his numerous enemies on his way to the immortality. Would he succeed eventually?
r and her life."
"Do you really think that she'll believe that?" suddenly asked Jackson.
After Derek thought for a while, he replied, "Maybe she won't, because it's highly likely that a person like Cherry would never think like that."
Then, it seemed that Jackson wanted to drop the subject. Now that he had the pictures, Cherry couldn't see them anymore, and there was no need for him to worry about it any longer, but he was still concerned about some other pressing matters.
"Derek, " suddenly called Jackson.
"Yes?" Derek seriously looked at Jackson, because he knew that there had to be something very important to deal with if Jackson called out his name in that specific tone.
"It seems that something ruined our original plan, " said Jackson thoughtfully.
Derek immediately started to become nervous. He stared at Jackson, and anxiously asked, "What happened?"
"I locked her at home, but she still won't give up on her endeavours. She keeps on asking me to tell her about what happened that year, " said Jackson.
"You definitely can't do that! If you tell her then she might also find out about the Chu Family's past, and at that time…" quickly said Derek. He thought that it was too risky to let Cherry in on everything, and that under no circumstance could Jackson tell her about anything that happened.
"I'm afraid that someone else might tell her, " said Jackson, very concerned.
Derek thought about it carefully, and said, "There are only a few of us who know about it. Sally won't tell her without your permission, she wouldn't dare to do that, but as for Stephen…" He paused, and then continued, "He wouldn't do that too, will he? After all, he isn't powerful enough to challenge you. And as for that guy? It seems that Cherry hasn't met him yet."
