“Have you interrogated thoroughly?”
“Yes. The woman mentioned that the person who was willing to help her set up a hotel in Dragon Valley only promised to introduce some clients from the State Guesthouse to her,” Mark reported his findings after an intense investigation that lasted through an entire night.
Oceanic Estate was brightly lit, especially the study on the first floor. The air was filled with a strong sense of bloodlust.
Standing still in front of the menacing Old Mr. Jadeson, Mark was waiting quietly for his response.
This woman probably won’t be able to live long.
“In other words, she’s been used?”
“Yes, she didn’t know that the person approached her with a hidden agenda in mind. They were scheming to persecute the Jadesons with a drug-related crime. In fact, her husband, Connor, died because of this. Thankfully, you shot him dead back then. Otherwise, it would have affected the name of the Jadeson family adversely.” As Jonathan’s trusted aide for years, Mark understood him very well.
Jonathan’s face turned extremely sullen. In the end, he hit the desk harshly, to the extent that it was almost smashed to pieces.
He expected the outcome.
If this incident leaks out, the Jadesons will suffer yet another blow. At the very least, it will hurt our reputation. What a brainless b***h!
Jonathan’s eyes turned ferocious. “Take care of her, and don’t let anyone find out about this.”
“Duly noted.”
Mark was not a tad bit surprised to hear that decision. However, a dark cloud was hanging above him. “What about her child and Mr. Jared?”
“You go and tell him that I won’t hesitate to destroy all of them if I hear anything about them acting with impunity. I won’t give in even if it concerns the child.” Hardening his heart, Jonathan was resolute.
His gaze turned murderous with a strong intent to get rid of anyone who was in his way. The cruel reality left him with no other option. He had given all that he could, toiling for the family his whole life. In the end, he had no more mercy for them.
Mark left as soon as the conversation ended.
Those who were anxiously waiting for updates at The Ataraxy were completely stunned when they heard the final decision, including Jared.
Ever since Candice was sent away, Shirley was the only one who was relatively capable in the household.
With this nightmare befalling her, what’s left at The Ataraxy?
