Ice and Fire novel Chapter 368

At that moment, Jean also arrived back downstairs and sat beside Mond on the sofa. She said, "Mond did that because he wanted to irritate Jackson. He's not really interested in Cherry."

All of a sudden, Sally was enlightened by Jean's words, and realized why Mond had done that in the afternoon. Jackson had been indeed irritated by Mond's behavior, and Mond had achieved his goal.

Mond leisurely said, "You're not as smart as Jean is, Sally."

Jean was delighted to hear that Mond spoke so highly of her, because she had always yearned for the others' recognition. She looked at Mond's face, and thought to herself, 'Because I've been around Mond for such a long time, I've learned a great deal from him. No matter what we do, we should think it twice beforehand; it's never wise to be quick and careless.'

Sally gradually calmed down. She sat on the sofa opposite to Mond and Sally, and after she pondered on her thoughts for a while, said, "So you meant to say that you did that just because you wanted to make Jackson angry?"

"Sally, Jackson and Andrew have always been my sworn enemies and targets, " coldly said Mond. He hated them so much that he would never allow them to go unpunished.

Sally then glanced seriously at Mond, and asked, "What's the plan for our next step then?"

Mond didn't look at her and instead gazed blankly in front of him. He coldly replied, "I want to destroy the Chu Family thoroughly to rip its roots! I want Jackson and Andrew to pay the price for all they've done to me!"

One by one, Mond slowly spoke those words and clenched his teeth in bitter hatred.

After she heard Mond's words, Sally instantly cried out hysterically, "No! You can't hurt Jackson! You can't do that! You can do whatever you like to the other members of the Chu Family, but not to Jackson!"

Sally couldn't imagine what she would do if Jackson was hurt or killed. She thought to herself, 'I won't allow anyone to hurt Jackson! I will try my best to protect him and keep him away from harm!'

Mond then slowly shifted his gaze onto Sally, and with distain clearly sounding in his voice, said, "Do you think that's possible?"

Sally suddenly felt terrified when she met Mond's eyes. She couldn't help but tremble, but she still summoned all of her courage and argued with him, "You promised me that you won't hurt Jackson if you don't need to! You promised!"

Mond immediately replied to her plea, "It's impossible now for me to do that! Sally, I've given you five whole years to win Jackson's heart, but you've failed to do so. Do you really think it's still possible for you to protect him now?"

Sally fell silent, because she knew that Mond was right. She had tried very hard during the past five years to win Jackson's heart, and although Jackson had promised that she could stay around him, the moment that Cherry returned, everything changed. She again became dispensable, and meant little to him.

Sally violently shook her head and cried, "No! No!" A flow of hatred reflected in her eyes as she continued to yell, "It is all because of Cherry! If she hadn't come back, I would have been with Jackson now, and he would have listened to my words!"

Mond was speechless at the sight of Sally's hysterical behavior, and didn't think there was any necessity for him to go on discussing this topic with her any longer.
