You Are The Apple of My Eyes novel Chapter 124

"Cut the crap. Take this one million and stay away from John."

"One million is not enough. Give me twenty million."

"Sure enough, you only stay with John for money."

"You can say that."

As the sound of the familiar voice sank into John, his heart drowned in a sea of sadness.

Jason, on the other hand, was astonished.

After listening to the recording, Jessica was furious. Seeing John's depressed expression, she felt a little guilty as well.

She did not mean to hurt John, but at the same time, she hoped that he would no longer be captivated by Nina's charm.

The woman was much like Helen of Troy, and John would be hurt by her.

Jessica would never let her brother fall victim to her.

"Did you hear that?" Jessica said in a soft tone, looking at John sympathetically.

Then, John raised his head and asked, "Did you threaten her?"

Fortunately, Nina did not take the money. Otherwise, it would have been particularly embarrassing for John.

Not a lot of people knew it, but John was only able to make Nina stay in North Yard because of the twenty million he himself offered her.

Luckily, Jessica did not also offer Nina twenty million.

Thinking of this, John breathed a sigh of relief.

"What? Do you know what you're talking about?" Jessica narrowed her eyes and looked at her brother in disbelief.

John had always been the smart one. How could he be so foolish just because of a woman?

"Whether or not I threatened her isn't the point, John. The point is that she only stays with you for your money. Once you go bankrupt, she will leave you for another man." Jessica shot her hands in the air in frustration.

"I won't go bankrupt," John replied calmly.

Jessica was rendered speechless.

Jason was also stunned.

They were both frozen on the spot.

John stood up and glanced at Jessica and Jason. "You two really like a couple," he said.

He wondered whether he and Nina would also look like a couple.

Jessica and Jason didn't look like a couple before they got married. This meant that John and Nina would also look like a couple in the future.

At the moment, he felt like he should spend more time with her.

John then turned around and left.

He was already out the door when Jessica and Jason snapped back to their senses.

Jessica tried to follow after John, but Jason held her back. "John! No! Come back here!" Jessica bellowed.

"Please calm down, honey. You need to calm down." Jason held his wife in his arms to comfort her.

"No! How can I calm down? Whether or not he goes bankrupt is not the point! Why can't he understand? I'm just trying to protect him!" Jessica grew extremely anxious.

It turned out that John did not care at all if Nina was just staying with him for his money. It was as if he did not even hear her.

"He's not a child anymore. He has his own judgment, and he has the freedom to make his own choices. We can't interfere." Jason held his wife tightly in his arms and tried to reason with her.

"But in my eyes, he's still just a child!" Jessica yelled. She struggled to break free of Jason's grip and accidentally stomped on his foot. The sudden jolt of pain made Jason scream.

"What's that for, honey? Are you trying to murder your husband?"

"Oh, my! Honey, are you okay? I'm sorry. I didn't mean it. Does it hurt?" Jessica came back to her senses and was shocked. She hurriedly bent down to check on her husband's now injured foot.

Jason helped her up and held her again in his arms. He whispered in her ear softly, "I'm okay, honey. Don't worry about it."

"Are you really okay?" Jessica was now worried about her husband.

"I'll be fine. Stop worrying."
