Jackson was jealous about the obvious affection Mond felt towards Cherry and growing enraged. He asked, "What's wrong with me slapping my woman? How is it your business?"
Jackson's questions were infuriating Mond more by the second and he stepped closer Jackson. In a deliberately low voice he threatened, "Jackson Chu, you know what, if I want something, I will have it!"
"Mond Xu, I know the Chu Family owns you, but don't you dare touch her. If you want something, just tell me and I'll get it for you." Jackson was fearful deep in his heart. How would he survive the sorrow of losing Cherry again? If Cherry left him, he would break.
"Jackson Chu, why do you take everything good? Why?" Mond demanded, the hatred in his eyes grew stronger. If Mond's birth were a mistake, what followed was a bitter joke.
Jackson didn't answer Mond because he didn't know what to say.
Mond continued, "Jackson Chu, can you guess more? If I'm interested in Cherry, will I kill her?"
"Mond Xu, I've told you, don't touch her." Jackson replied angrily, knowing deep in his heart Mond hated his guts.
Listening to Jackson, Mond suddenly smiled gently as he continued, "It appears Cherry is very important to you, Jackson Chu. Now, I believe the game is much more fun, more than I could have imagined."
"Mond Xu, I didn't force you out in the past, but that doesn't mean I won't do it now." Jackson threatened as he thought about how he hadn't hurt Mond in the past, but, he wouldn't let anyone harm Cherry, and if anyone did, it wouldn't end well.
"Then come on." Mond retorted, he wasn't afraid of Jackson at all, so he dug the proverbial hatchet up.
Mond scoffed, "Do you think I'm still that kid from the past? Jackson Chu, on the day I accepted the money Andrew offered, I swore I would kill you both, because of the insult you dealt me."
"You deserved that." Jackson ground out through clenched teeth.
Mond suddenly burst out laughing with an almost crazed look in his eyes as he said, "Good, good, I deserve that, and now it's your turn for the payoff. Jackson Chu, I'll ruin you along with everyone around you."
"I don't think you are capable of that." Jackson told him. He believed i
When her sister ran away from the wedding, Autumn was forced to marry Charles.
His name had been linked to innumerable ladies.
He had different girlfriends for every day of a year.
Autumn had never thought that she would fall in love with him.
k God, why you and I were born into the same family and I'm only a few months older than you?"
Cherry didn't respond, she just listened.
"Why you are luckier than me, all the time, at everything? In school, the teachers liked you, and so many boys were after you. On campus, John took good care of you, and I didn't even have a boyfriend, then when we were working at the Shen Group, all the colleagues enjoyed dining with you, while I had companions only because I ordered my secretary to go with me. There are many more instances like these. Why were our lives so different? That's why I hated you! It's why I hated your guts. Did you know that?" Jean felt calmer after confessing her feelings.
Cherry looked at Jean, "But, you must be tired, hating someone is exhausting."
"Do you know when I realized I was tired?" Asked Jean suddenly, answering her question as well, "When Jackson sent me to the underground world and those men stood in front of me. I was scared, for the first time. I thought, if I hadn't envied you, if I hadn't wanted to hurt you, Emily wouldn't have been dead, you wouldn't be so full of sorrow, Jackson wouldn't have hurt me, and John and I wouldn't have been divorced."
Jean paused for a second before she continued, "But all these are just assumptions, Cherry, I have been losing the game for the past five years. In the past, I could rob you of everything, but when you met Jackson, I lost, and when l lost, I lost completely."
