Chapter 21 Ungrateful Soul
Jacquelyn Howardson's heart skipped a beat, and she looked at the man leaning on the sofa. Even with a bandage on his body, he exuded a natural domineering aura and aristocratic temperament. He lounged casually, but there was a graceful and luxurious air about him. If she were twenty years younger, she would be attracted by such a dangerous and gorgeous man, Joy... Jacquelyn subconsciously stood in front of Rejoyla Lynn, blocking Jason Sterling's piercing gaze. Her mind was in buzz and went blank, and Georgina Sterling's words still echoed in her ears.
Jacquelyn was in a state of confusion and didn't know what to do!
Burton Sterling also stared at Jason hesitantly, "Junior?"
Jason didn't care about occasional tentative eyes and was a little annoyed that Jacquelyn blocked his sight. He shifted his eyes and half of his face showed a mocking smile and said, "Rejoyla, I got injured saving you. Is this how you repay me? Don't you even have basic manners? So I saved an ungrateful soul!"
Why didn't you say that your sister was so cruel to disfigure me? You should have taken the pain for your sister!
Of course, Rejoyla couldn't say this in front of everyone.
"What's going on, didn't it mean that Georgina hurt you? How did you save Rejoyla?"
Burton was completely confused, and could it be that Georgina was deeply wronged? But this was said by Jason, and he wouldn't lie!
Jason kept silent. Rejoyla couldn't help but explain, "Georgina originally wanted to burn me, but Mr. Sterling happened to pass by and helped me. But I didn't expect that he was injured!"
The more she said, the more she seemed to be an ungrateful soul. Rejoyla had to add a belated apology under Jason's mocking smile, "I was too scared just now. I couldn't speak when I thought of Georgina throwing rice dumplings at my head. Thank you, Mr. Sterling!"
Hmph, the Sterlings targeted her for no reason at first, and then one of them helped her. Did the Sterlings treat her well or badly? She felt like a bun that anyone could pinch!
Rejoyla's explanation was even more suspicious. Not to mention others, Burton knew his own grandson's personality. He was ruthless and cold-hearted since he was a child. How could he help Rejoyla? He could even kick Georgina out without mercy. How could it be possible for Jason to risk his life to save a burden?
Burton's face was grim, staring at Rejoyla's eyes with a hint of danger. Burton's voice still carried a terrifying deterrent, "It was Georgina’s fault. Jason has always been a kind-hearted child. He can't stand anyone bullying others. Now, you all leave!"
Jason didn't pay much attention to Burton's words. He saw that Rejoyla was about to slip away, and snorted coldly, "Rejoyla, I was injured because of you. You are responsible for taking care of me!"
It was a complete command, and there was no intention to ask for her opinion at all.
Of course, Rejoyla wasn’t willing to do that. She saw Burton's eyes like knives piercing her. If she dared to agree, it was estimated that she would be punished on the spot when she came out of this door!
"Um, I'm going to work tomorrow, so I have no time to take care of Mr. Sterling. There are so many servants in the Sterling family, and they are more professional. They can take care of Mr. Sterling better!"
"Shut up, I have decided. You go to my room and wait!"
Jason didn't give Rejoyla any chance to refuse at all, and gestured to the butler on the side, "Peter Roland, I have something to consult with my grandfather!"
Jacquelyn was the new hostess. Then, Rejoyla, Madam Heidi and Hillary Sterling were politely but forcefully moved out of Burton's room by the butler!
After everyone left, Burton kicked Jason’s calf and asked, "What's the matter, and are you fond of Rejoyla?"
Jason leaned to one side to play with his mobile phone and did not respond.
Burton knocked off his mobile phone and said coldly, "Don't think about that thing, and the Sterling family will never tolerate such a disgrace. Do you think your reputation is good enough? So you intend to add an incest accusation to yourself!"
Burton would never allow his grandson to harbour such a thought and be ruined by Rejoyla. His eyes were fierce and sharp, exuding a murderous aura unconsciously.
Jason's eyelids twitched, leaned over and picked up the mobile phone that fell on the plush carpet. The back of his hands floated the cyan veins because of too much energy. When he looked up again, Burton still had a stern face. Jason replied, "Oh". He didn't speak anymore.
Burton was not sure, "What do you mean?"
