Old Wesley coldly snorted, seeming unwilling to even glance at Justin Wesley again. He also refused to say another word to this unfilial son. If not for Mandy, he would have made Steel take action long ago.In his eyes, only Justin Wesley was fit to be his grandson. This unfilial son only ever caused trouble, a harbinger of misfortune.Watching grandfather's departing figure, Jason's gaze did not stir. Just like in the past, but there was one thing he could be certain of - this matter had nothing to do with grandfather.That left only his mother.Jason raised his gaze to see Mandy bringing him to the backyard entrance. A car was already waiting there, presumably to bring him to see his elder brother.Just then, Steel suddenly appeared. He contemplated briefly before suddenly saying: "Young Master, if you do not wish to go, there is no need. Just take a look after going, then return."His meaningful words caused Mandy to raise a brow, questioning: "What does Steel mean by this? It's ra
Jason expressionlessly followed along. The moment he stepped into the ward, a pungent medicinal smell instantly assaulted his nose, making him very uncomfortable. What was this smell?Although not well-versed in all medicine, their effects were similar in essence. He understood most of them.But the smell here was very strange. Mandy seemed used to it, walking straight to Justin Wesley's side and pulling down the bedsheet: "Justin, look who's here?"But her words had barely left her mouth when Mandy and Jason's expressions changed. The person in bed was not Justin at all!But a complete stranger!"What?"Yet in that instant, Jason suddenly felt his body turn numb as his mind grew hazy and unfocused. His vision blackened. Damn, he had fallen for it! When did it happen?Before losing consciousness, his unwilling gaze looked to the glass outside. Heather White's mocking, scornful eyes. It seemed like she was mocking him!"You're still as foolish as before!""Damn..."In the dimly-lit ba
Her words gave the technicians pause. With her capabilities, she could certainly make good on her threat. They glanced at each other and filed out without a word.As soon as they left, Mandy breathed a sigh of relief. "Hurry, I've bought you half an hour. Find a way out of here and get back to Emerald City, now!"But Jason remained still with his eyes closed, as if he had fallen asleep. The stubborn fool! Was he really ready to die here without a fight? Not even a hint of struggle...Meanwhile, in Emerald City, Susan had just left the Brown Group building after a long day at work. But she had barely taken a few steps when someone blocked her path."So you're Susan? Who knew that waste of space could attract such a beauty. It's a miracle!" the arrogant man looked her up and down with a sneer.Susan's expression changed. She could feel the powerful pressure and hostility radiating from him and took an involuntary step back. "Who...who are you?" she asked cautiously."Heh heh, I'm... Jus
Seeing the man spewing profanities and spoiling for a fight, Justin was ready to explode with rage. This must be some mistake caused by that wastrel brother of his! What kind of trouble had that useless fool gotten himself into to bring this gang after Justin by mistake, bent on crippling him on sight?"Damn it all, this is absurd!"He wasn't one to be pushed around. No one in Metropolis Central would dare treat him like this! To be wrongly accused and subjected to such indignity for no reason, Justin Wesley was not one to swallow insults. "I'll say it again, you've got the wrong person. I'm not who you're looking for," he stated angrily."And who the hell are you anyway? You can't even recognize Jason, yet you still dare come causing trouble?" He was truly infuriated now. As the saying goes, filth gathers among the dregs - this was a clear cut imbecile.Susan watched this unravel in stunned disbelief. Although confused, the muscular brute did seem vaguely familiar. Wait...could it
"You're spouting nonsense! I don't even know you. Don't listen to her garbage," Justin shouted frantically.But Edward Reed's eyes flashed with fury. "To think I almost fell for your lies!""No, it's not me, I swear it's not me!" Justin felt his lungs would explode from rage. How could he have anticipated that wastrel having such luck with women?But Susan wore a mask of indignation, tears glistening in her eyes as she cried out mournfully, "You despicable cheater and liar! How dare you cheat on me, seducing my closest friend behind my back? I hate you Jason, you scumbag!"Having said her piece, she turned and left in feigned tears. Hearing this, rage boiled up in everyone present. What a bastard, two-timing like this!Edward Reed was particularly incensed. He had already learned earlier that Susan was Emily's best friend. With her testimony, how could there be any doubt?"Got anything more to say for yourself, Jason?"Justin was about to desperately defend himself again when a flyin
Cracking his neck, Jason laughed mockingly, "It's simple. I'm done playing games. Heather White, how much longer were you planning to peep?"Mandy blinked in surprise. Heather White? She wasn't here, she had left already right?But in that instant, Jason kicked a small pebble, sending it flying towards a particular spot in the basement. A crisp shattering sound rang out as a pane of glass broke. A corner of the basement suddenly lit up, revealing a fully furnished surveillance room. Not only were over a dozen elite bodyguards inside, but the one leading them was none other than Heather White herself!She hadn't left at all, instead monitoring everything secretly the whole time. This whole charade had been orchestrated by her."How can this be? A hidden room with one-way glass?" Mandy exclaimed in shock. That alone was astounding, but how had Jason detected it? She hadn't noticed anything!Heather White was also greatly dismayed, her face a mixture of disbelief and ugly rage. How had
Although the pain was excruciating, the wound was not fatal.It missed her vital organs by just a tiny fraction of an inch."You..." Heather White cried out in shock and fury, her breath catching in her throat. She was completely panic-stricken, having come so close to succeeding.But Jason coldly held her fast and said, "Although you certainly deserve to die, passing so easily would be too merciful for you.""From the moment you came to the Wesley family, everything you've done to me - framing me, falsely accusing me, even slandering me to my grandfather to make the Wesleys abandon me and get me expelled from Metropolis Central - all of it was because of you, you wretched girl!"As he spoke, Jason forcefully twisted her wrist until it snapped, causing Heather White to shriek in pain as the dagger fell from her now limp hand. But it wasn't over yet. As soon as she looked up, a loud slap rang out as Jason fiercely struck her across the face with the flat of his palm. The impact was li
Looking at Heather White's lifeless body, Mandy actually cursed under her breath, "Damn old fool, spoiling my plans again. The daughter-in-law I spent years grooming died for nothing.""And that boy...after so many years, to actually have grown so capable, thwarting my meticulous schemes and costing me a daughter-in-law, yet I've gained nothing on him. Hmph, don't get too complacent just yet..."If these words had reached the ears of some in the Wesley family, they would surely be shocked speechless. She was the true mastermind! Heather White was merely a pawn to her!Delving deeper into this line of thought was frightening - the implications too enormous for anyone to believe.Meanwhile, Jason had already set off on his return journey. Before leaving, Steel had urged him not to come back to Metropolis Central again. He had a persistent feeling this place remained shrouded in darkness, hidden enemies lurking everywhere.But unknown to Steel, Jason was fully aware yet unwilling to exp
