“Wait. What?” Taken aback by this newfound information, Jonathan turned to face his son.
Stephen nodded hastily. “I’m not making this up! One of the maids overheard Sebastian and Tiffany’s conversation and confessed to me. She even revealed Sabrina’s kidnapped location.”
“Tiffany Jadeson! Is what Stephen said the truth? Has your family gone nuts to have done such a thing!” Jonathan bore his eyes on that half-dead woman lying on the ground.
Tiffany, who had barely recovered some of her senses was back to ground zero. Jonathan’s confrontation drained off all the blood from her face.
“N-No! Grandpa, please listen to my explanation…”
“Explanation? Do you dare say you’re not involved in this? You sly brat, what I hate most is family members selling out one another, and you did just that! I can’t even phantom your future for you have displayed such viciousnesses at this age. The world will be much better off without you.”
His words were no different from a death sentence. With her life at stake, her injuries would have to take a backseat. She gritted through the pain and crawled pitifully towards the head of the Jadeson family.
“Grandpa, I know my mistakes! P-Please forgive me just this once! I beg you!” She kneeled in front of him while slamming her head repeatedly against the ground.
Tiffany’s mother too, kneeled down and begged for his forgiveness. “Uncle Jonathan, please forgive her just this once! Eric’s gone and Charles is still locked up. My foolish daughter was just trying to get revenge for her brother and father that she committed such a huge mistake.” She was hoping this approach would appeal to the old man’s emotions and weaken his resolve to kill Tiffany.
Stephen on the other hand was infuriated. “What’d you say? Revenge? What revenge would involve Devin? My son’s all in this miserable plight because of your daughter!”
“You…”
He continued, “Besides, with Tyler dead now, you still dare beg for your daughter’s forgiveness? You should be more worried about what his dad will do to the both of you when he finds out.”
His words were literally sending the mother-daughter pair to the grave.
During that time, Jonathan had come to a decision. He ordered his men over. “Drag her to the military. We’ll let them decide her punishment.”
That decision made no difference except prolonging her death.
