My Love My Hatred (Jennie and Lance) novel Chapter 78

Chapter 78 Crime 

Lance stopped on his way when he heard what Rupert Robinson said, he turned around and smirked at him.” Why should I be afraid? Shouldn’t you be afraid, Mr Robinson?”

Rupert Robinson was affected by the words of Lance; I could see that his blood ran cold even though I was standing far away from him. When I turned to look at Lance, his face showed ‘I didn’t do anything dirty.’ But I didn’t believe him.

Rupert Robinson then said, “You are right, Mr. Mason, I am afraid. The mayor has been captured and I believe that he will tell everyone everything very soon. You really don’t worry about that?”

“I was busy with study back then, and after that, I was busy with work. So, I didn’t really have much time to enjoy meals. I would just simply eat, anything was fine to me.” I explained.

Lance wasn’t pleased with my explanation, “You should know how to enjoy life. Life is short.”

I laughed bitterly to myself. Poor people like us don’t have the chance to enjoy life like the rich.

“You are right, brother. We should know to enjoy our lives.” I said and looked at him while smiling. “But brother you don’t know how to enjoy your life even though you have a lot of money.”

“You are so busy that you don’t even have time to sleep, let alone enjoy it. Mason’s Company is a huge company, you need to make decisions for everything every day. I don’t

We remained silent until the food was served.
