Maverick knew his son even though it doesn’t look like it because at this mont, Valen was so mad that he was planning to have Jeslyn all to himself for three days straight. He understood that she was his stepmother, but even so, a child of six needs more attention than a grown man, but why does his father not know that?
To Valen, Jeslyn was not to bla but his father. He believed that whenever Jeslyn and his father were together, it was likely Maverick who called her over to ’hurt’ her again.
How could the poor child be relieved when he knew that his father was leaving marks on Jeslyn?
He picked up Rex’s phone and called his father a few tis but he wouldn’t pick up. "Is he hurting her again?" Valen frowned.
"Who is hurting who?" Rex imdiately asked.
"Mind your business, uncle." Valen rolled his eyes.
"You called uncle, yet you are rude and disrespectful. Jeslyn must hear this." Rex threatened.
Valen stayed silent without saying anything else.
At the hotel, Maverick took Jeslyn to the shower and returned to the room.
...
At the hospital...
Madam Chen could be seen lying on a hospital bed with a life support system. Mr. Wales, Christine, and Chi Chi were there staring at the woman with bloodshot eyes. Nobody said anything. Each of them with their own thoughts.
"Christine, don’t you have a shot tonight? Take Chi Chi ho and return to the company. I’ll be here to look after your mother." Mr. Wales suggested.
"I’ll inform sister to see if she can find sothing to restore the CCTV footage. I don’t believe that this was a coincidence." Christine said.
Mr. Wales looked at his elegantly dressed daughter and frowned. "Are you saying I cannot find the person behind this? Don’t worry about anything. My people are on it... one more thing, Young Master Ray was there according to the report from the guards. You can stop by his office and ask him about what he knows. He might have seen soone or probably, the car’s plate."
"Ok," Christine rolled her eyes and ordered her assistant to pick up Chi Chi and left the hospital.
After they left, Mr. Wales sat beside his wife on her bed and held her hand while playing with her fingers.
"Bella, what happened to you? How did you suddenly beco like this? I thought you were fine when you left the house?...you never told ...told you would be getting into an accident." Mr. Wales’ eyes turned watery.
Right now he couldn’t think straight. Seeing his beloved wife lying almost lifeless on the bed gave him anxiety. Although the doctor said she would be fine, he still couldn’t relax his heart.
Mr. Wales started to reminisce about how he t his wife.
At that ti, they were in the university. Bella was very beautiful, innocent, and intelligent. She was every guy’s dream in the departnt. He couldn’t approach her because he was shy until the day it rained cats and dogs. It so happened that they took shelter under the sa shade so from there on they beca friends and finally got married.
Bella wanted a good life, the type he couldn’t afford and so when the opportunity presented itself, Bella advised him to marry Alice. The plan went as they wanted, however, Bella beca jealous and wanted the relationship between him and Alice to co to an end.
What she wanted ca through and after Alice died, they got married again but a dent was created in the relationship. He tried all he could to fix it but all his effort went down the drain or should he say he didn’t try his best? Whatever it was, he knew neither of them was innocent of how their marriage turned.
Even though it happened that way, Mr. Wales never saw anything wrong in what he did; he still doesn’t feel remorseful for what he did to Jeslyn and her mother. To Mr. Wales, he was only taking what he was given by the gods.
"I promise, I’ll find whoever did this to you and make them pay!"
...
At night, Jeslyn was seen resting her head on Maverick’s lap while thinking of her revenge. "Maverick, what should I do to ruin those people? I don’t want them dead."
Maverick didn’t think before he said: "cheating." He didn’t even raise his head from the book he had in his hands.
"Huh?" Jeslyn turned her head to look at this face.
"Their family seems to be peaceful and the man seems to be loyal. Throw in a demonic lady," He suggested.
"Mr. Wales doesn’t seem to like won. He is loyal to that vixen which was why he could treat my mother like that even though she was way prettier, classier, and richer than that wh*re." Jeslyn’s face turned villainous. Thinking of that so-called father of hers makes her want to stab him in the heart.
"When a loyal man cheats, it leaves a stronger impact," Maverick explained.
Jeslyn nodded, that’s right. She looked at him and subconsciously asked: "Do all n cheat?"
"No," he replied while turning a page.
"But they are...ehm...all n are...wild creatures, right?" Jeslyn wasn’t sure if he would reply. Yeah, her question was stupid, but only she understood.
"n are wild by nature. But so are weak due to circumstances...I’m sure you know where I belong." In the latter part, Maverick shifted his gaze from the book and looked at her pretty face.
"Oh," Jeslyn blushed. Of course, she knew. But then...she’s not sure.
"Should I get a girl from the club?" Jeslyn returned to the topic while shifting her gaze everywhere in the room.
"He won’t fall... Get a wild innocent girl." Maverick returned to reading his book.
"You an, innocent in appearance but wild in bed?"
"Hmm."
"Where do I find one?"
"His secretary."
"You an she likes him?"
"Hmm."
Jeslyn giggled. "Perfect. History is about to repeat itself. Just that the vixen is at the hospital, she won’t be seeing it anyti soon."
"She could."
"How?" Jeslyn asked. However, Maverick only looked at her face and said nothing before he continued reading.
