Ice and Fire novel Chapter 301

At Jean's words, Cherry sadly said, "Jean, you are not."

Jean asked, "Cherry, tell me what you think? At our ages, shouldn't we understand everything?"

Jean held back tears. She didn't want Cherry to see her cry.

Cherry ignored Jean's question when she thought of something and instead asked, "Then, why are you with Mond?"

At the mention of Mond, Jean smiled and asked in a light tone, "Do you know when I met Mond?"

Cherry shook her head.

"I met him when I was helpless. He was the one who assisted me and got me out of that dirty place."

Cherry seemed to understand and asked, "So where did you go after that?"

Jean had a far-off look in her eyes. In a quiet voice, she related her story, "To another country. I lived a quiet and happy life there. Mond arranged for me to live at his friend's house and gave me a monthly stipend. When I got there, I didn't know anyone, so, I started a completely new life."

Cherry was confused, "Then why did you come back? Wouldn't this city remind of your awful memories?"

Jean turned to look at Cherry and said, "Because Jackson and you are also here. I want my revenge."

Jean almost ground her teeth as she finished her sentence.

Jean didn't tell Cherry the real reason she came back was that she couldn't say no to orders from Mond. She had to do what Mond told her to do. She had returned to fulfill Mond's plans, not for revenge.

Cherry couldn't help shivering when she heard Jean admit she wanted revenge.

Cherry asked, "Do you hate Jackson?"

Jean stared into Cherry's eyes and said, "Yes. I hate you too. I hate you both, and your baby boy!"

After Jean finished talking, Cherry immediately said, "Don't hurt Joe. My dear sister, please don't hurt him."

Jean saw the panic and fear on Cherry's face. She was a little jealous that Cherry was able to protect her son, because Jean didn't have a child, nor a chance to have one. She wanted someone to protect, but she had nobody. Who on earth could she safeguard?

Jean wanted to cry when she thought of Joe and that kid, which was the greatest pain in her life.

"Get lost!" All of the sudden Jean screeched and turned her back to Cherry.

Cherry impulsively called out to her, "Jean, please stop!"

"Get the hell away from me!" Jean shouted again.

Cherry realized her sister was in a bad mood and didn't dare say anything else. Besides, she had gotten the information she wanted. She was quite relieved to learn Jean didn't suffer much because Mond had helped her.

Cherry thought about it and felt it was better for her to leave now, because she had mixed feelings too.

After Jean heard Cherry leave, she couldn't hold the tears back.

She thought to herself, 'Cherry! You are a mother and a wife! But look at me though! What I am? Nothing. I will never get to have a child in this life. I will never hear a kid of mine call me "mommy." You are so happy now! You've always been happy.'

Cherry stepped off the elevator and walked to leave the building, but then she saw Mond in the hall.

Cherry gave it some thought and then walked over to Mond.

Cherry greeted him politely, "Mr. Mond, may I speak with you for a second?" Mond was mysterious and he was also the CEO of ZM Group, so Cherry had to be polite to him.

Mond gestured for Cherry to sit opposite him.

Cherry sat down.
