The Apocalypse Survival Manual (Three Days Before Doomsday, I Stockpiled Billions) novel Chapter 602

Chapter 602

Find Valerie? There wasn Ten anything left to find

If a doctor hadn’t diagnosed Jason with a delusional disorder, his mother Wendy Gibson might’ve beaten him half to death

Wendy made her name in a cutthroat era when people could strike it rich almost overnight. Tough, sharp, and relentless, she fought her way through brutal competition and bhit a business empire from the ground up

Work kept her away from home when Jason was young, buckily, he grew up well and had a real head for business. She retired early, turned the company over to him, and spent her time traveling and enjoying herself.

Jason didn’t let her down. The company did even better under his leadership

In the end, a woman turned out to be his one weakness.

Valerie had been dead for years, but he still couldn’t let her go The kidnappers planted one of their people beside him as a

bodyguard, then used a forged letter to lure him out

Marcus tried to stop him, but Jason wouldn’t listen Worried something might happen to him, Marcus panicked and followed him.

At the time, Marcus figured the Robinsons were powerful enough in Westbridge that no one would dare go too far. They even had police officers stationed at their house. Surely the raiders would think twice before crossing them

Looking back, Marcus had no idea where that confidence had come from.

One kidnapping was all it took for the whole city to hear about it.

When Wendy found out Jason’s obsession caused the entire mess, she completely lost it. She slapped him more than a dozen times, then had him confined to the house.

If he tried to run off again, she would have his legs broken.

Nicole was stunned. She never thought she would see the day Jason got put in his place.

Apparently, the only person who could keep him under control was his terrifying businesswoman of a mother.

“Does he really have a delusional disorder?” she asked.

“Who knows? Either way, they’ve got him on medication,” Marcus said.

He figured he had the worst luck in the world, getting dragged into this mess because of someone who had lost touch with reality.

Luckily, Wendy stepped in and promised to get Eric another helicopter as compensation. Otherwise, Eric might’ve beaten him senseless

Of course, once something ended up in Nicole’s hands, there was no getting it back.

For the sake of appearances, she offered Marcus a few halfhearted words of comfort, then told Dumbo to haul him home. The sooner he was out of sight, the better.
