“Jayson?” Trishia was very shocked to see Jayson.
Her expression was very clueless and puzzled by his sudden presence.
She looked at the Senator who was wearing a wicked grin on his face.
There's no doubt that the Senator was planning something big using Jayson Hansen.
“What’s all this?” Trishia regained her senses.
All the while, she knew Sen. Meyer was cooking something but she could not determine it exactly.
Firstly, her, receiving his unusual treatment. The Senator suddenly became good to her and called her daughter? That was way too absurd!
Secondly, the Senator gave her the people she needed to avenge.
And now, Jayson Hansen.
The person who just dumped her.
Trishia felt happy seeing Jayson's difficult situation.
Remembering his words over the phone, she didn't feel sorry for Jayson but her mind was hooking up on something.
‘What’s going on?’ It was a big question in her mind.
“Daughter, what’s wrong?” Sen. Meyer seemed to read her mind. He strode forward to her and stood beside her. Then he nodded to his man who was holding Jayson. The man quickly took off Jayson’s blindfolds and the tape on his mouth. Then Sen. Meyer lifted his hand signaling his man to stop and go out. His men quickly obeyed carrying the dead bodies on the ground. Sen. Meyer, Trishia, and Jayson were left in the room.
“Trishia, what’s this?” Jayson’s face was confused and angry. His eyes were shocked and fierce at the same time. Everything was swift and he could not believe that he was kidnapped. He was at the bar earlier with his new chick. The girl he met in the bar gave him a drink. Then they went to one of his hotels. They were in the bed when he lost his memory. He could not remember anything.
“I…” Trishia could not give him any answer because she didn’t know the Senator’s purpose. “I don’t know,” Trishia answered dumbly.
“Huh! Trishia, why am I even believing you? What?!” Jayson roared angrily. “You brought me here because you can’t accept that I already dumped you! That chick that night... you set me up! That’s so simple as ABC! What are you going to do to me now? Kill me?” Jayson’s outburst filled the room. For him, it was no doubt that Trishia could do such vicious kidnapping.
“Jayson Hansen…” Suddenly, the Senator butted in. It was his first-time meeting Jayson Hansen in person. “Don’t talk to my precious daughter like that in front of me.” He added with a loving but threatening tone which made Trishia feel like vomiting. “Don’t worry, we will not kill you. We just bring you here, so we can talk and settle down some important matter.” The Senator said meaningfully.
Trishia frowned and so as Jayson. They were all clueless about the situation.
“What are you talking about, Sen. Meyer?” Jayson knew the Senator but he didn’t like him. Judging from the Senator’s suspicious aura, Jayson already knew that he was a crook. He would not do any good to him.
“Relax… we will get there.” The Senator said in a friendly tone.
Trishia was in deep thought. She was clueless and trying to figure out what’s the Senator’s purpose. For her, it was already satisfying that she got her revenged on the 3 prisoners and the rude policeman. She didn’t expect that Jayson would appear in front of her after he dumped her when she needed him the most. He turned his back on her when she asked him for help. He let her suffer inside the prison. If he saved her, she would not experience being bullied inside. Is this the reason why the Senator kidnapped him? No… Trishia could see a bigger reason.
“No! What do you want from me? Do you want money? Release me now!” Jayson’s expression was very irritated. For the first time in his life, he was abducted. He could not accept his situation right now. He swore to get his revenge after he escaped from the place. He was not Jayson Hansen the CEO of the Hansen Group if he could not punish the people who offended him. What more? The people who abducted him. Jayson clenched his hands into fists hard while his eyes were scornful.
“I don’t need your money, Mr. Hansen.” The Senator answered calmly. His expression was unaffected by Jayson’s roaring. It seemed the Senator was used to this kind of negotiation.
“Then what?” Jayson roared again impatiently trying to escape from the rope that was tied around his wrists and ankles.
“Marry my daughter, Trishia.” The Senator answered directly.
Hearing the Senator, Trishia and Jayson were shocked. They seemed the question in their mind was being answered. But why did the Senator want Trishia to marry Jayson? Trishia could not decipher the sudden decision of the Senator. It was shocking and still had no clue what he was talking about. Her mind was in a great mess.
“Hahaha! Trishia, your father is funny!” Suddenly Jayson released a cracking laugh.
It echoed in the air like Jayson seemed to hear the funniest joke in the world.
His laugh was a humiliation.
The laugh suddenly stopped when a gunshot was heard.
Sen. Meyer shot the ground and the bullet almost hit Jayson’s feet.
“What the! Are you f*cking insane?” Jayson roared indignantly. The gunshot was no fun at all.
“Huh! Mr. Hansen, it’s just a little warning. Next time, the bullet will hit you if you are not going to stop humiliating me and my daughter, Trishia.” The Senator said with a controlled temper.
Trishia heard the Senator was calling her ‘my daughter’ again.
She could not help to roll her eyes in annoyance.
” Then stop telling me some ridiculous things!” Jayson was not afraid of the Senator only that he was holding a gun.
“Just to let you know, Mr. Hansen. I am a reputable person and my family has a great image in society. You have to marry my daughter because she is pregnant with your child. Is this very hard to do?” The Senator spoke like he had loosened his temper. His eyeballs were bulging questioning Jayson like they carried a great threat and Jayson must answer with a positive reply otherwise bad things would happen.
Trishia looked at the Senator.
