Ice and Fire novel Chapter 300

Jackson was jealous about the obvious affection Mond felt towards Cherry and growing enraged. He asked, "What's wrong with me slapping my woman? How is it your business?"

Jackson's questions were infuriating Mond more by the second and he stepped closer Jackson. In a deliberately low voice he threatened, "Jackson Chu, you know what, if I want something, I will have it!"

"Mond Xu, I know the Chu Family owns you, but don't you dare touch her. If you want something, just tell me and I'll get it for you." Jackson was fearful deep in his heart. How would he survive the sorrow of losing Cherry again? If Cherry left him, he would break.

"Jackson Chu, why do you take everything good? Why?" Mond demanded, the hatred in his eyes grew stronger. If Mond's birth were a mistake, what followed was a bitter joke.

Jackson didn't answer Mond because he didn't know what to say.

Mond continued, "Jackson Chu, can you guess more? If I'm interested in Cherry, will I kill her?"

"Mond Xu, I've told you, don't touch her." Jackson replied angrily, knowing deep in his heart Mond hated his guts.

Listening to Jackson, Mond suddenly smiled gently as he continued, "It appears Cherry is very important to you, Jackson Chu. Now, I believe the game is much more fun, more than I could have imagined."

"Mond Xu, I didn't force you out in the past, but that doesn't mean I won't do it now." Jackson threatened as he thought about how he hadn't hurt Mond in the past, but, he wouldn't let anyone harm Cherry, and if anyone did, it wouldn't end well.

"Then come on." Mond retorted, he wasn't afraid of Jackson at all, so he dug the proverbial hatchet up.

Mond scoffed, "Do you think I'm still that kid from the past? Jackson Chu, on the day I accepted the money Andrew offered, I swore I would kill you both, because of the insult you dealt me."

"You deserved that." Jackson ground out through clenched teeth.

Mond suddenly burst out laughing with an almost crazed look in his eyes as he said, "Good, good, I deserve that, and now it's your turn for the payoff. Jackson Chu, I'll ruin you along with everyone around you."

"I don't think you are capable of that." Jackson told him. He believed in his aptitude to fight against Mond, even though he wasn't sure he could win.

"After I tackle Cherry, you can see if I have the ability." Mond challenged before he walked away, brushing by Jackson.

Jackson was more worried about Cherry, he wanted to protect her and she had no idea she was in great danger.

Jackson felt hopeless because he never intended to hurt Mond and he hadn't thought that he was the one who should take the fall caused by a mistake their parents made, and yet, he could do nothing about the fact that Mond kept hating him. However, Mond now aimed at hurting Cherry and Jackson wouldn't risk losing her, because Cherry meant everything to him. If only one of them could survive between Mond and Cherry, Jackson would choose Cherry without hesitation, but at the same time, it hadn't crossed Jackson 's mind to hurt Mond.
