Inside the car, Derek looked at Jackson, and said, "Are we going to meet Sally now?"
"Yes, " replied Jackson in a low voice.
"Then I don't think you need me there." Derek didn't feel like seeing Sally, because he had never cared about her. She was such a shameless woman, and if it hadn't been for Jackson, he would have never known her.
As Jackson leaned back on his seat and slightly closed his eyes, he said, "You can at least offer me some accompany."
Derek understood his feelings very well. When he saw in how bad of a state Jackson was he stopped talking.
They then drove to a villa in the city's suburbs, and when they arrived, its gates opened as soon as Jackson and Derek got out of the car. Jackson looked up towards the windows of the villa and saw Sally looking down at him with a smile on her face. Jackson then walked into the villa expressionless, with Derek following him from behind.
Sally was excited when she saw Jackson come in and ran to him. She threw herself into his arms, and eagerly said, "Jackson, you've finally come back!"
When he saw the situation in front of him, Derek, who had closely followed Jackson from behind, walked straight to the couch and then sat down on it. He casually picked up a magazine from the coffee table in front of him and pretended to read.
Jackson pulled Sally away from him and also walked to the couch and sat down.
When Sally saw Jackson's cold expression, she guessed that he might be angry at her because she had asked him to come back in three days. She passionately walked up to him again, and as she held his arm and leaned her head on his shoulder, she affectionately said, "You don't know how much I've missed you!"
At that moment, Jackson was enraged, and roughly pushed her away. As she fell onto the floor, he shouted harshly at her, "What the hell you have done!"
Sally was startled by his sudden reaction, because she had never expected such a scene to happen. She said, "I didn't do anything!"
"You did. And you'd better confess. Now, let's start with a question. Has Stephen An told you to do anything?" Jackson cut to the chase and directly asked her. He didn't want to talk much to Sally.
Seeing that Jackson held such a bad attitude towards her, Sally slowly stood up from the floor, and asked, "Jackson, why are you doing this to me?" She completely ignored his question. "Have I done something wrong?" she continued.
Jackson then turned his head away, not planning to answer her question.
Derek squinted at Sally, and remained silent.
