Ice and Fire novel Chapter 85

The Shen Group? Stephen?

Jackson looked disturbed. He thought dejectedly to himself, 'All of this is related to that damn woman!'

Derek looked at Jackson and asked, "Jackson, do we need to take an action against Stephen?"

Derek knew very well that Jackson's hostility towards Stephen was not only because of the clans' conflicts but also because of the connection with Cherry.

"Annihilate the Shen Group. I want to hear that the Shen Group has disappeared from the city, within three days, " ordered Jackson growling.

Derek could not believe what he was hearing.

Selina looked a little surprised, but Jackson's tone had been too firm to leave any doubt.

"But I think the Shen Group matters very little to us. Instead, Stephen should be the first priority for us to deal with. In the last five years, Stephen's strength has hardly diminished, no matter how hard we have tried to weaken him. If he also decides to compete for the Future Project, he will be a tough competitor" said Derek, evidently worried.

Jackson stared firmly ahead as if everything was under control. "Stephen is not powerful enough to be our opponent. We are sure to win the project, " said Jackson.

Derek and Selina shared a glance with each other without saying anything. They believed Jackson's words.

"Okay. I'll deal with the Shen Group", Selina spoke, convinced, "What about Stephen?"

Selina looked at Jackson, waiting for his response.

Jackson put on an evil smile and said casually, "Spare him some leisure days and then give him the finishing stroke."

As soon as Jackson finished his words, Selina understood his intentions.

Only Derek looked between Jackson and Selina, confused. He had no idea what they were talking about.

Selina smiled lovingly, "Jackson, I really admire you."

Jackson stared out of the window and kept silent. He would never forgive those who had anything to do with that damn woman. He had never stopped hating her in these five years. And this hatred only grew more and more intense.

In that moment of silence, Jackson's phone rang all of a sudden. Taking out the device, he saw it was Sally calling. He answered the phone.

"Hello, Sally", said Jackson gently.

"Darling, where are you? I want to meet you." Sally's soft voice requested from the other side.

Derek and Selina knew it was Sally. They just looked at each other, saying nothing.

"I'm in JS", said Jackson curtly.

"Then I'll come and see you there", said Sally happily.

"Okay", said Jackson.

"See you soon. I'm leaving now", said Sally eagerly.

"See you later."

Jackson hung up the phone. Derek was curious, "will Sally be here later?"

"Yes." Jackson stared out of the window, looking calm.

"Do Derek and I need to leave first?" asked Selina. She knew Jackson well enough to know he did not like a crowd. If Sally also joined them, he might be annoyed by the number of people around.

"No. Just stay here", said Jackson.
