Chapter 348 - 348. You're Stalling.

Jason went on a rampage. He went to the resisdence of every member of Paradise and caused such a scene, after making sure Lenora got into all the sites he didn't have access to before he had more than enough dirt on them all. Especially that Benedict, he was the worst and Jason was right to save him for last. He was the final piece to the puzzle he was the person that lead him to where he was right now, his mother.

"Hello son, it's been a while." Celeste stated bluntly, staring straight at Jason her face expressionless he could not tell what she was thinking.

"I don't think you have the right to call me that" Jason replied "I cannot believe you were actually alive all this time. Where did you hide? How did you fool my father?" 

"Your father was always such a fool, but I didn't have to fool him. He was more than happy for me to be dead." She said with the sickest smile on her face.

Jason fisted his palms and shut his eyes, making sure to breath in through his nose. He wouldn't break, he wouldn't give her that satisfaction of knowing that he missed her. That her absence actually meant something to him, actually scared him.

"Then why didn't you just stay dead? Why slather out now?" He spat.

"Slather? Did you just refer to me as a snake? How dare you disrespect your mother like that?" She scoffed

"What mother? My mother died fifteen years ago, you are just a nuisance." He replied.

Crossing her arms she extended her leg and tilted her head to look at him, "I must say you are handling this pretty well, I heard of you famous temper, witnessed it as well when you were shaking down the members, why do you seem calm now?" She asked.

Jason smiled, unable to take her nonchalant attitude anymore, "really? Do you really think I'm taking this well? Ofcourse you would think so wouldn't you? You are not a mother, what you did to me, what you did to Jonathan, you aren't even human." 

"Oh? I see my two boys are finally getting along, you were such a jerk to your younger brother does it make it easier for you to bash me after treating Jonathan like crap?" She laughed, "or are you more encouraged to remove him from the Kang empire now he is not a Kang?"

Jason shook his head, "you're sick and you are stalling. Why aren't you telling me what I need? What exactly are you keeping me from?" He asked, agitated. "Tell me!"

"This is not we agreed on Jason's mother." George Lee sneered at the older woman, shoving his hands into his pocket he walked towards her and slammed his hands against the table behind which she sat.

Celeste looked up at him the malice evident in her gaze but she said nothing... at first. "This is such a hassle, I did keep my end of the deal, how was I to predict we would be hacked? I mean I was even the one that ended that man, the one threatening Patricia, you shouldn't behave like this."

"You meant to kill Jessie not her manager." George scoffed, "you mistake only benefitted us don't take credit." 

Sighing she nodded, "I guess I can't do that, but the fact remains that you shouldn't be here right now. Do you have the time to point fingers?"

"I was wondering when you would say that, now that you are offering your help-" Celestes brow rose but he didn't stop speaking "I need to get rid of Jessie." He stated.

"Naturally" Celeste added "but why should that be my business?"

"I need you to create an opportunity for me to get Jessie, hate to give it to your son, but he has created a fortess in that manor of his, there is no way I can get her from inside there." George stated.

"And how do you expect me to solve that?" 

"I don't care, you are already in my father's black book and do not forget, information is power and I have more than enough of that to destroy you and your little organisation." George said with a wicked smile.

"Well so do I." Celeste spat back.

"- that is correct but it wouldn't be fun to destroy each other when there's a better alternative, would it?" He laughed, "so how will you do it?"

"Is that really all you have to say to me? You are mother for crying out loud!" Jonathan yelled attracting curious eyes in the public restuarant her and his trecherous mother sat in currently.

"I was a cover up? Why would you even tell me that? How I'm I supposed to feel? What I'm I to do with that information?" He screamed. "I never had a family but you and the brother I looked up to was nothing but horrible to me, and you are saying he- you choose him? What did I ever do to deserve such a mother?!"

Twenty-four hours ago.

This time it was Jonathan's turn to be violent, shoving Jason backwards he growled "I'm sick and tired of your blasted entitlement. You are nothing but mean, bitter and extremely annoying. You hate your father but you are just like him, a friggin bully!"

Unable to take it anymore Jonathan pushed backwards and punched Jason, hard. "We have the same mother for fuck's sake!" Jonathan yelled.

Returning the punch that sent Jonathan to the other end of the elevator, "stop saying that! My mother is dead, you people should please let her rest in peace!!" Jason screamed.

"No she's not. Your mother is not dead, neither is she such a saint. She is a selfish woman that cares for no one but herself not even the children she gave birth to!" Jonathan screamed back, a stray tears falling down his cheek.
