Chapter 104

Jason interrupted her, his voice low and deliberate. “If you can keep on living, then I certainly can. And if you miss him that much, maybe you should go be with him.”

Since his brother’s death, Rosalie had refused to hold Adam or Victor responsible, directing all her bitterness and grief toward Jason instead.

She clung to the belief that if Jason’s brother hadn’t thrown himself in front of Jason, he would still be

alive.

She often muttered that it should have been Jason who died, not her more compliant, more obedient son.

In the past, Jason had absorbed every cruel word in stony silence.

But as Alicia had once pointed out, his own sorrow didn’t obligate him to tolerate her abuse.

If Rosalie intended to wound him, he was determined to wound her in return.

Rosalie stared at him, her expression one of utter shock. “What’s gotten into you? How could you say such a horrible thing?”

No matter how vicious her outbursts had been in the past, Jason had always absorbed them with cold,

silent endurance.

Once her anger was spent, she would usually leave him alone.

This was the first time he had ever confronted her with such open, calculated scorn.

“Isn’t this what you’ve been asking for?” Jason replied, his voice devoid of warmth. “You go on and on about my brother as if you actually loved him.

“The truth is, you just can’t stand losing another useful tool, someone you could manipulate to please that old bastard.

“I’ll never understand it. He treats you like a dog, and you’re perfectly happy to bite whoever he points you

“Why can’t you just try being a decent person for once?”

Jason could never understand how Rosalie had developed such a single-minded obsession with Adam, an obsession that blinded her to everything and everyone else.

She had insisted on marrying a man years her senior, one who already had a wife and a son, and had repeatedly funneled resources from her own family to prop up her husband’s household.

Had her father not firmly barred her from meddling in the family business, the Holt enterprise would likely have been driven into the ground by her misguided devotion.

Once Jason’s brother took over the Holt family’s holdings and consolidated them into Lucent Media, Rosalie saw him as little more than a source of leverage, consistently extracting benefits from him only to turn and offer them to Adam as tokens of loyalty.

As her parents’ only daughter, Rosalie had not even returned home for her own mother’s funeral, choosing instead to remain abroad chasing after Adam.

Later, she provoked her father into a serious illness through her actions, and he still remained in the hospital recovering, yet she visited only after a prolonged and indifferent delay.

By then, her father had completely lost faith in her.

He refused to see her and transferred all the shares originally intended for her, along with his own stake, directly to Jason.

Combined with the inheritance from his late brother, this allowed Jason to assume full control of Lucent Media.

Both brothers had prepared wills before the accident.

Each stipulated that if one should die unexpectedly, everything would pass to the other. If both were gone, all assets would be donated.
