Flora told Tina that she couldn't reach Jason on the phone and asked her to go home and take a look.
Tina told Flora to drive immediately, and they went to the Whites' villa together.
Nanny Zamani was so happy to see Tina back that she felt as if she had met a savior.
"Miss, you're finally here. Mr. White has been locking himself in the room and had forbidden me to tell you. I was worried about what would happen."
"Has he been eating normally?" Tina asked.
Tina wouldn't even refer to Jason as her father.
"Yes, he has. But he won't come out of his room. It's been a few days. Please go upstairs and check on him!"
Tina asked Flora to wait on the first floor and then went upstairs to Jason's bedroom.
At first, she was furious, regretting that she had listened to Jason's words and didn't take all the money back but a small portion.
However, regretting wouldn't do her any good now. The most important thing is to find out what had happened to Jason and where he had put the money.
She just wanted to do everything she could to get the money back.
At this moment, Tina was so regretful that she didn't listen to Marina.
Tina knocked gently on Jason's door. There was no answer.
She turned the doorknob and opened the door.
As soon as she opened the door, a thick smell of smoke came rushing towards her.
She didn't know how many packs of cigarettes Jason had smoked, but the room was still filled with smoke.
Jason was still lying on the bed with his back to the door.
Tina walked to the bed. "Get up, and let's go downstairs. I have something to ask you."
She didn't speak to Jason nicely and didn't address him as a father. She was so furious that trying to suppress the anger had taken all of her strength. She was doing her best not to throw away his comforter and made him get out of the bed.
"Go back." Jason's voice was weak as if he had been seriously injured.
"What had happened to you?"
Jason didn't get up, so Tina stood there and began to ask Jason condescendingly.
"I told you to go out." Jason was upset and just wanted to have some time to himself.
"What right do you have to tell me to go out? There's not a cent on the company account now! Tell me where did the money go! It was MY money too!"
Tina stopped pretending. Although for now, only some of the money on the account was hers, Jason had promised that the whole company would be hers in the future.
So, she wanted to think that the money was all hers too.
"I'll let you have the company now. You are happy now?" Jason said weakly.
The only thing he wanted to do was to be left alone. He hadn't been able to figure out how to explain the situation to the others.
At this time, Marina probably didn't know what had happened. Otherwise, she would have been here, interrogating him by now.
She wouldn't let him stay at home so peacefully.
"You want to pass it to me now that something went wrong? Why you didn't do it earlier?" Tina complained, "It's almost payday. What do you want to do?"
Jason seriously wanted to block his ears.
He hated hearing about money now.
Every time someone had mentioned the word "money," he felt like someone was stabbing his heart with a sword.
He just realized that he had wasted all the money he finally owned.
But it was too late. Jason felt like his heart was bleeding all the time, but it wouldn't help anyway. He wanted to avoid the consequences and stress by locking himself up at home and refusing to see anyone.
"Tina, I beg you. Now the company is all yours. It's your call now."
"You chose to leave it to me now that something had happened! Where were you earlier?!"
Tina's voice grew louder and harsher.
Jason couldn't stand Tina's accuse.
