Jason glanced at her. His narrow, dark eyes were gloomy, like a rain–soaked forest. His Head Warrior aura instinctively pressed down on Summer, but he immediately realized and pulled it back. He seemned to know something but didn’t want to expose it. He just nodded with a helpless smile, “Yes.”
Your mother was almost imprisoned because of Tanner’s framing, and now she’s speaking up for him? Don’t you find that strange? Do you think the Cooper Family might have instigated this? Or, to be more precise, Tanner instigated it?”
‘Maybe, it’s possible. I don’t know.”
‘So you’re admitting that this is the most likely scenario?”
‘…Mm.”
‘So the whole thing boils down to this: your mistress, Tanner, was cyberbullied because of the airport video a few days ago. She harbored resentment, wanting to clear her name. Then she found your mother, Vera, either coerced or bribed her, and the two of them concocted a very damaging rumor about Sophia, having your mother issue a statement to clear her name while smearing Sophia at the same time. Is that right?”
‘…Yes.”
Jason took a deep breath. Seeing that Summer was about to continue, he raised his hand. “Lawyer Summer, you should have recorded enough evidence by now, right? It’s enough for you.”
Summer looked embarrassed. So he knew. Of course, the youngest Head Warrior of the Pack, the CEO of Horizon Group wasn’t an idiot. She had been too eager to elicit a confession, and he’d noticed. But she didn’t expect him to willingly confess… Heh, this dog… actually did the right thing…
I looked at Jason with complex emotions.
‘Let’s end this.”
‘If we don’t, Tanner will never let go. Today she incited my mother to frame you; what about tomorrow, the day after tomorrow? You don’t kill me, but I die because of you. That’s no different from you killing me.”
‘Whether you’re genuinely regretful or still in love with me, the mistake has been made, we can’t go back to the way things were. What’s the point of this three–person entanglement? We once truly loved each other, we were once the envy of everyone in the Pack as partners, but that doesn’t change your betrayal and disloyalty. Stop living in the past.”
Once we’re done, she won’t bother me anymore. And what happens between you two is none of my business.*
Think about it.”
My words were devoid of emotion. Jason didn’t vehemently object as before. It was like an illness, knowing it was incurable and beyond remedy; the intensity, the unwillingness, the resentment, the regret, slowly subsided until it disappeared.
He sat at Summer’s house for a long time, and when he left, he didn’t state whether he agreed or disagreed. Strangely, a faint bond of connection formed between us, He only said that if they needed him to issue a joint statement, they should contact him.
Jason’s cooperation left Summer and me a little bewildered. We had envisioned a fierce battle, a silent war, but before we even struck, one side’s core member defected.
‘What should we do? Should we proceed as planned?” Summer admitted she felt a little soft–hearted, so she deferred the decision
to me.
I was deep in thought. Suddenly, I looked up at the sky, which was gradually darkening. “I’m hungry. Let’s have dinner first.”
