"Yes, they are," replied John, nodding his head. He added, "After President Zhou agreed, we orchestrated the accident drama."
"The drama is about your dad and twin brother colliding into President Zhou's yachts?" Carn questioned.
One more ti, John nodded and replied, "President Zhou will crash into dad's yacht. That was the drama we agreed on. So, I talked to dad and Jay about the plan, and they agreed after I convinced dad to sever our cooperation with Samuel. I explained to dad and Jay that Samuel only uses Liam's power and resources. It is not Liam who gave out orders to him, but the person who wants to push us to the corner is Samuel. So that he could use us in his plans against Vincent, who is taking over the Davies."
John stopped talking for a mont to sit closer to Carn. Once he was seated comfortably on the bed, he carried on while holding Carn's hand, in which the latter was imrsed in listening to him, and she didn't notice their hands intertwining.
"Dad sold all of his shares to Samuel and would leave almost nothing to . Then dad and Jay will travel the world while I struggle to keep my place in the company. Hence, Samuel will take that opportunity to show he cared for and our guess was correct. Samuel offered a deal in exchange for getting close to Vincent and earning his trust. So then, I can report to him whatever Vincent is planning. As things were finally in place thus, we could execute our plot against Samuel. The incident drama occurred in Zen City because it was the Shang's territory. Thankfully, the Shang brothers have already made a deal with President Zhou; everything went smoothly. They can control as much as they desire."
"Then where are your dad and Jay? Is Ivy aware of the accident drama? Does she know Jay is alive?" Carn fired three questions in a row. During the wake, she rembered Ivy looking in despair at seeing her husband's coffin. Not only that, Ivy even escaped from the hospital to visit the cetery, as she still mourns Jay's death.
"Ivy didn't know any of that, which caused her a serious injury," John answered. "Jay is also badly injured and in a coma for a few days after the incident. But he soon received treatnt at the William dical Research facility. It was all thanks to Master Shun. Imdiately, his n transported dad and Jay in secret. And to make everything believable, Master Shun produced clones of dad and Jay."
"Clones?" Carn was stupefied. No wonder the remains of John's dad and twin brother look so much like theirs. It was just fake bodies.
"Yes. Recently, Master Shun is investing in creating humanoids, and Doctor Derek Williams is experinting with creating an actual body of an android."
"Wow!" Carn could not help interjecting between John's narration. She imagines how cool it is. No wonder their corpse bodies look like a natural human bodies.
Perceiving the marvel in her face, John smiled and petted Carn's head; after that, he carried on. "Dad and Jay were hiding in Mainland City all this while. Jay had woken up a few days after we buried the fake corpse. Thus, I have to think of a believable excuse that Ivy and Jay will reunite. It is also the perfect ti to execute our next move, the lawsuit. Therefore, I broke up with you so that you are forced to leave my side and would not be suspicious."
Carn was flustered when John ntioned their breakup because she was guilty. She indeed suspected John would persuade Ivy. Now that he explained his reason for breaking up with her, her heart almost lted; especially the following words ca out of John's mouth.
"Carn, I also wanted to ensure your safety while I am away. I don't trust Samuel, and my perception is right. He would not care to kill innocent people."
Uttering this, resentnt appeared in John's eyes. Samuel thinks too highly of himself for bossing him around. He only bears to be Samuel's puppet to discover his master's plan against Vincent and Hailee.
Now that he wanted to go that far by ordering him to kill the babies, it's ti to execute the finale. He has to relay the ssage to Vincent through Jas about Samuel's new order. Hence, Vincent can no longer stay hidden as he would not allow Samuel to do anything to please his master.
"I will end Samuel's life soon. So then, we are free."
"John?" Fear surged in her chest. Carn did not like what John had said. Even though Samuel deserved to be punished, she was too worried about John.
What if sothing terrible happens to him during his eting with Samuel? Now that she had learned the truth, she was no longer jealous of Ivy. Instead, she was relieved that Jay was alive.
Thinking it over, Carn slowly made a realization. She was only jealous of nothing. John broke up with her because he was genuinely concerned for her safety. Therefore, John truly loves her.
"John…" Tears welled up in her eyes. Carn could no longer suppress the feeling she had for John. All this while, she only acted coldly toward him because she was afraid to get hurt again. Now that she learns the truth, John deserves to know they're expecting their firstborn.
John presus Carn cried because he will confront Samuel, and she is concerned about him. This thought made John elated. This gives him the strength to fight Samuel toward hell.
Carn is aware of what that guy could do. He is a cold-blooded animal, as he has no kindness or sympathy for other beings, but he will slaughter humans as he pleases. It was evident when his n stord the Dawson vacation house and rained the cabin with bullets when Carn was there, too.
"Shush." John wipes Carn's tears with both of his thumbs. He soothed her, "Don't worry. Everything will be over soon, and we can live peacefully."
"Promise you will co back alive," she sobs.
