Chapter 28 Argument
Jason went into the house after Rejoyla. He asked, "Do you still remember how you were caught?
Whose phone did you answer before rushing out?" Brady checked Rejoyla's call records and found it was a public phone, which was troublesome to trace the location. On his side, however, the camera at he bank beside the Crown Palace Hotel caught the license plate number, so he could find her by checking the license plate number.
Even though she was rescued, Jason wanted to know who was behind the whole thing, otherwise she might be in danger again.
Rejoyla was taken aback and then said, "It was my classmate from college. She said she was coming to the Crown Palace Hotel, but got off the taxi early, so I went to the gateway to pick her up. She has nothing to do with this, right?"
"No one can say for sure whether she has anything to do with this till I investigate. Leave this to me. I'll handle it. Don't say anything when you go back today, and I'll also tell everyone else so. It's better not to let the Sterling family know about this."
"Oh." Rejoyla was not happy. She was not a fool. She happened to be doped unconscious by someone right after leaving the hotel, and the person who called her did not use her own phone but a public one, for she lost her own. Why so many coincidences? Rejoyla couldn't figure out why someone would do such a thing to her.
"Stop thinking about it if you can't figure out why. Rejoyla, put away your ridiculous kindness. This incident can be considered a lesson for you. Let's see if you dare to wander around in the future!"
"How do you know I can't figure out why?"
Jason didn't bother to answer this question. Everything was on her face, so he could tell by simply looking at her. Rejoyla didn't insist that Jason answer her question, but she felt uncomfortable and wanted to chat with someone, and now there was no one else in front of her besides Jason.
Rejoyla then started rambling. She talked about her old embarrassing experiences, and after speaking, she lay there and laughed, but Jason gave her no response, and so Rejoyla changed from laughing to crying. She didn't look nice at all while crying.
Jason stared at Rejoyla's back for a while, then raised his hand and slowly rubbed Rejoyla's back.
Rejoyla turned her head and looked at Jason with tears in her eyes. "Tell me, why? What did I do wrong? Why was I treated like that? Doesn't she know the consequence of doing this? Why is there such a person? We've been good friends... Hmmm!"
Rejoyla widened her eyes and looked at the perfect face close at hand. She blinked and then realized what Jason was doing, and she immediately struggled. Jason pressed Rejoyla's arms, and deepened the kiss he was giving to her.
He was so annoyed by her constant talking that he had to do that to stop her. In Jason's opinion, Rejoyla's ambivalence was simply incomprehensible. He thought as long it was confirmed that the person did it, they could just take revenge by hitting back ten or a hundred times harder. Why bother to think that much if they were enemies already? It would only make herself unhappy!
Jason successfully used this way to silence Rejoyla, and she didn't dare to speak until disembarking. She huddled in the corner of the sofa, avoiding Jason, afraid that this guy would do something even crazier to her.
If Jason knew what Rejoyla was thinking, he would definitely say that she thought too much. He was not a pervert. After what Rejoyla had gone through, Jason knew what she needed most at the moment was to rest well.
The ship finally landed, and the moment Rejoyla stepped off the ship, she felt like she had gained new life. Since this time, she got a bad feeling for ships, so probably for a long time she would not take a ship anymore.
"Joy!" Brady, who had long received the news waiting on the shore, rushed forward and tightly grasped Rejoyla's arm. He looked Rejoyla up and down and said, "Are you okay? That's great. Thank goodness, you're okay!"
Rejoyla didn't expect Brady to be so worried about her. Her nose twitched. It seemed like there was still someone who liked and cared about her after all. She answered, "Mr. Nelson, I'm okay. Thank you!"
"That's great that you're okay! Great!"
Brady couldn't say any sweet words right now; he just stared at the girl before him. The thought of nearly losing her made Brady heart ache, and now he realized that he had more than a little crush on Rejoyla. He liked her. No, it should be he liked her very much. Brady was clear about his true feeling to Rejoyla and held onto her arms tightly. This time, he wouldn't let go of her anymore.
Jason cut in between them and forcefully parted his hands off her. "This isn't the place to talk. Do you wish everyone to know about it?"
Brady suppressed all his questions in his throat. Unwillingly, he watched Rejoyla following Jason, and he had to keep up. His eyes were fixed on Rejoyla without blinking.
