Chapter 381
At the door of the Halton’s residence, Jalen lit a cigarette unusually. He leaned against the car and looked up at the night sky, thinking of something.
There were footsteps from behind.
Steven was surprised to see Jalen standing at the door, but he quickly walked over, “It’s good that you haven’t left. Let’s talk about Elaina.”
Hearing that, Jalen threw the cigarette in his hand on the ground and stepped on it, “Oh? What do you want to talk about?”
“What I mean is very simple. Leave her immediately and make a clean break.” Steven seemed to be unaware of the coldness of Jalen, or perhaps he felt it, but he did not care.
Jalen did not speak but just laughed grimly.
“How can that kind of woman be worthy of your identity? She just wants your money. You can play with her, but you can’t marry her!” Steven continued.
At that moment, Steven did not know about Elaina’s background. Nitzan did not tell him, and neither did Jalen. Jalen just didn’t care about it at all.
Now Jalen’s hands, which were hanging by his side, were clenched into fists. He turned his head and looked at Steven, who was about to speak again, “That kind of woman? Isn’t Ella better than the woman who had
broken a family?”
“You’re not allowed to talk about her like that!” Steven’s expression turned angry.
“What? She’s already dead, and you’re still protecting her?” Jalen sneered, “Did I say anything wrong? You’re not a good person, and neither is she.”
Because of these two people, Jalen’s mother committed suicide. A good family was ruined, and Saul had been tortured by his father since he was young. It was the misery of two families.
All of those were caused by Steven and that dead woman. Sure enough, Jalen could not think of any nice
words when facing Steven.
Jalen’s face was dark, yet there was no fear, “Is that so? Then you can dismiss my position and see if it is me who’s relying on the Halton Group or vice versa.”
“You!” Steven was very angry.
He took a deep breath and tried to keep calm. He couldn’t let Jalen win over him, “If you want Elaina to be safe, you should stay away from her. Otherwise, I won’t be merciful to her.”
“I dare you!” Jalen glared at him angrily.
“See if I dare or not.” Steven was not afraid. He was still the chairman of the Halton Group and had a lot of power. What Jalen had, he had them too.
The two were in a deadlock. Jalen looked at Steven even with killing intent. He wished to kill this person so much.
After an unknown period, Jalen seemed to have compromised and said, “Don’t trouble her. I will stay away from her.”
