“Grandpa!”
Slap!
To everyone’s surprise, the infuriated Jonathan slapped Tiffany in the face, confusing those in the morgue, including Tiffany.
“Old Mr. Jadeson, what are you-”
“I’m so sorry, everyone! She’s merely making things up and accusing others! I hope none of you are taking her seriously!”
They thought they had been hearing things because the honorable man dismissed everything Tiffany brought up as soon as he showed up.
Covering her swollen cheek, Tiffany repeated herself at the top of her lungs, “I’m not making things up! It’s the truth-”
Unable to suppress his wrath anymore, Jonathan yelled at the young woman in the face, “What the hell do you mean it’s the truth? You don’t think others can easily infiltrate the military base, do you? Are you indicating he’s capable of teleporting to your father’s cell?”
He regretted doing her a favor and stopping others from taking her out. The thought of taking her out crossed his mind again. In fact, he wouldn’t hesitate to do so if he had a gun with him.
This fool is trying to bring upon the family’s undoing again!
Along with the onlookers, Tiffany was stunned due to Jonathan’s seemingly harsh remarks.
“Actually, it doesn’t make any sense since we’re in a heavily-guarded military base!”
“She had misled us into believing those were the truth! It doesn’t really sound convincing upon another thought! Otherwise, we can’t pride ourselves as one of the most impregnable bases anymore!”
“She’s the one misleading everyone by playing with our emotions!”
It was then the onlookers returned to their senses and thought something was wrong with them.
They started picking on Tiffany, but those were merely one of Jonathan’s many tricks to assert influence and dominance over them in order to protect his family.
He had his fair share of doubts and couldn’t figure out the actual cause of Charles’ death. Nonetheless, he couldn’t allow Tiffany to make a scene and accuse Sebastian.
Otherwise, the Jadesons’ image would be tarnished again. On top of that, those affiliated with the White House had long thought of getting rid of the Jadesons.
If things were to spiral out of control, Alfred would make something up and weaken the power of the Jadesons.
Therefore, Jonathan knew he had to assure those affiliated with the army it wasn’t a big deal.
Shortly after gathering their thoughts, the spokesperson of the army announced Charles had passed on due to health complications.
The saga was finally brought to an abrupt halt as the spokesperson warned the rest to stop spreading baseless accusations.
