Beyond the Divorce by Third Blossom novel Chapter 1108

Atlas patted my back gently to comfort me.

Gavin had finished his meal. He wiped his mouth, sighed, and said, "When Eric was cremated, Jonah regretted it deeply and blamed himself for not trying harder to stop Eric. He cried inconsolably that day when he saw Eric’s wife and kids."

"What happened next?" I asked.

Finn hurriedly walked over and refilled Gavin’s plate. Gavin gave him a thumbs up.

"A few days later, he heard that Byron took over the cable factory. Jonah went to confront him and accused him of being up to something. Byron was very polite at that time and explained why he had taken over the cable factory. Jonah was furious."

"Anyone would be angry. He was taking advantage of someone else’s crisis," someone commented, slamming the table.

Lauren immediately countered, "He wasn’t just taking advantage of a crisis. He murdered someone for money.”

"Why did Jonah leave Gerby then?" I asked.

"He had no choice. After that, Jonah was constantly attacked. He was innocent, but he would get beaten up every few days. He felt that something was wrong. He hadn't offended anyone, but no matter where he went, trouble followed.

"Later, he saw Byron again, driving a luxurious car. When Byron saw Jonah, he invited him to dinner."

"Damn. He was just trying to show off after gaining power!”

"Byron told Jonah, 'If you’re not doing well, just come back to the cable factory. Your fate is to work for me. If you do, it will at least reduce your beatings. Otherwise, you won't survive anywhere. You don't like me, do you? I repay resentment with kindness. Just keep looking at me until you like me.' After hearing that, Jonah finally understood why those things had been happening to him, and who was the mastermind behind it all.”
