440: Chapter 447: Running Away from Ho 440: Chapter 447: Running Away from Ho “Why so unconvinced?” Helen raised an eyebrow at Jas, speaking smugly, “Look at the Mysterious Figure.
He may not be very handso, but he possesses a rare kind of composure and charisma among n.
Even the most formidable enemy is nothing in his presence.
A re gesture from him is enough to make them vanish into ashes.
And look at you, spending your days tangled up with won.
Whenever trouble arises, you shrink back imdiately.
Sigh…
how can the difference between two n be so vast?”
Jas chuckled dryly and said, “If you admire him so much, why don’t you offer yourself to him?”
“Hmph, a grand figure like him would never be like you, only thinking of those trivial matters.
Let tell you, last ti he was testing , I saw right through him.
That’s why I didn’t agree.
But if the opportunity cos again, I’ll definitely say yes without hesitation.”
Jas nodded repeatedly, “Then I wish you all the best in achieving your desires.”
Helen smiled slyly at Jas and said, “You scoundrel!
Aren’t you jealous?
I’m practically putting a green hat on you!”
“Of course I’m jealous!
But in your eyes, that Mysterious Figure is so superior that I can’t compare with him.
What else can I do?”
“Hmph, you just want to break away from you so I don’t affect your life.
Don’t even think about it!”
Jas rolled his eyes, “You already have the Mysterious Figure; what do you need for?”
Helen smirked triumphantly, “If you’re allowed to have a wife and still ss with other won, then obviously I can too.”
Jas’ face darkened instantly.
Helen’s perspective was truly bold, but surprisingly, he didn’t feel upset.
After all, that Mysterious Figure was none other than himself.
In the end, it’s all still himself.
“Hey Jas, how about when you and the Mysterious Figure are both here, we play together?” Helen leaned against Jas, blinking playfully at him.
“Play together?
Oh, hell no, you aren’t thinking about having a threeso, are you?”
Helen grinned mischievously, “Why not?
You’re the man I like, and he is, too.
Wouldn’t it be perfect if we all ca together?”
As Helen spoke, she was genuinely laughing with delight.
This rascal had been hiding things from her all along, refusing to utter even a single word.
She had to give him so tricky situations to see how he’d handle them.
“This…
isn’t the taste a bit too bold?” Jas chuckled nervously, his face sowhat grim.
Helen shot him a glare, “Don’t tell you’ve never thought about having two won at the sa ti?
Why is it that you can imagine them serving you, but you can’t handle the idea of both n serving ?”
“No, no way!
I can’t accept that.
Don’t even think about it,” Jas exclaid, his eyes glaring.
“Selfish man, hmph.” Helen watched Jas’s expression and felt even more delighted inside.
At that mont, Helen’s phone rang.
She picked up hurriedly, and after hearing the ssage, she jumped to her feet, saying, “Got it.
I’ll head over imdiately.” With that, she rushed to the door.
“Hey, where are you going?”
Helen, frantically putting on her shoes, looked up at him and said, “The case has made progress.
A surveillance cara caught sight of that person.”
Jas froze, quickly getting to his feet, saying, “I’m coming with you.”
“What’s the point of you coming?
I’m working on the case,” Helen said, running out of the house without another word.
Jas stood at the doorway, put on his shoes, but didn’t imdiately chase after her.
At this point, chasing wouldn’t accomplish much.
If the cara had really caught him, then this matter would have to be made public, and that wasn’t a big deal.
If it hadn’t caught him, he could continue hiding as usual.
Helen hadn’t returned when Jas thought things through.
Joseph had co looking for him, and though he didn’t kill him this ti, Joseph absolutely wouldn’t give up easily.
Furthermore, Joseph, as a mber of the Terrorist Organization, could do anything.
Everyone around Jas was in grave danger—Gina, Grace, and Emma especially.
Before running into Joseph, Jas believed he could protect the won around him even if trouble erged.
But now, he suddenly realized that his existence was the very thing drawing danger to them.
The closer they were to him, the greater the risk they faced.
The best solution now was to eliminate Joseph for good, so he could no longer pose a threat.
But achieving that with only his own strength seed implausible.
Jas picked up the phone and dialed a number he hadn’t called for a long ti but rembered like the back of his hand.
“Michael Hall!” Two rings later, the call was picked up, followed by an exhilarating shout from the other end.
“Jas Silver, calm down, will you?” A surge of emotions overwheld Jas as he suppressed them and spoke cheerfully.
“Damn it, you disappeared without a word, didn’t bid us farewell.
That’s downright unreasonable!”
“If I’d said goodbye, I could never have left.
So I had to make a quiet exit.”
“You clearly don’t value us as brothers.
Everyone’s been itching to find you and beat you up.”
“Haha, my skin’s too delicate to withstand beating from you beasts.
Enough joking.
I’ve run into so issues and need your help.
It’s personal, but also Hawk Squad’s duty.”
“Stop wasting words.
What kind of nonsense is this between us?
We’ve been idle lately with no missions.
This gives us the perfect excuse to visit you for a holiday.”
The deep camaraderie between brothers stirred a tinge of sorrow in Jas’s heart.
Compared to his complicated relationships with won, this brotherhood allowed him to feel more relaxed.
He chuckled, “Alright then, bring along so skilled hands.
The opponent is John Miller’s younger brother, who has taken over his Terrorist Organization and co to YODC City to retaliate against .
I can’t handle them alone.”
“So it’s that guy.
But you killed John Miller, so what’s his brother worth?
This’ll be a vacation for us.
We’ll arrive tomorrow afternoon.”
As Jas stepped out of Helen’s house, his ho phone rang.
Casually answering the call, there was a montary silence on the other end, making him realize instantly it was Gina.
With a sigh, he said, “Gina, you’re ho.”
“Yes, co back.
I want to talk to you.”
“Okay!” Jas agreed without hesitation and hung up.
Twenty minutes later, Jas sat on his living room couch with Gina, while Emily Lopez sat beside her sister, her face full of worry.
“Jas, I’ve been thinking about our situation these last couple of days…” Gina’s tone was heavy.
Jas looked calmly at Gina.
From her not calling him ‘husband,’ he could guess her decision.
“Gina, I know I’ve wronged you deeply.
I don’t intend to make excuses.
Whatever decision you make, I’ll accept it.”
Gina’s face stiffened montarily.
Her gaze at Jas was complex.
Taking a deep breath, she said, “I can accept your past entanglents with other won.
But now that Emily Berns is pregnant with your child, I can’t reconcile myself to it.
Nor can I bear letting the child grow up without a father.
So…”
Jas sighed, “Yes, I have to face the situation.
Even though I never loved Emily Berns, the child is still mine, and I must take responsibility.
However, even if I find the child, I won’t marry Emily Berns.
A child alone isn’t enough reason to keep two people together.”
Emily Lopez got excited upon hearing Jas’ words.
She grabbed her sister’s arm and said, “Sis, did you hear that?
Brother-in-law won’t be with Emily Berns.
Once the child is found, you can raise it together.
If you don’t like that idea, I can raise the child myself, be her mom if necessary.
Just don’t divorce him!”
Gina hesitated for a mont.
Jas, on the other hand, smiled faintly and said, “Emily, this is my responsibility.
I can’t let you or your sister bear it for .”
Jas turned his tender gaze toward Gina, sincerely saying, “Gina, thank you for the life we built together.
You gave a sense of ho.
You’ve been a wonderful wife, and I’ve been happy during our ti together.
But I haven’t been a good husband.
What I owe you, I’ll never be able to repay.”
Gina bit her lip, facing Jas’s gaze, her emotions in turmoil.
Jas was her only man now; how could she let go so easily?
But Emily Berns was pregnant with his child.
She couldn’t bear to leave a child fatherless.
“Gina, Emily, thank you both!” Jas said with subtle resolve as he stood.
After taking one last deep look at them, he silently turned and left.
“Brother-in-law!
You can’t go!” Emily jumped up in panic, running after Jas.
She threw her arms around his waist from behind and burst into tears, sobbing, “Brother-in-law, please don’t go.
Emily is begging you.
My sister loves you—really loves you.
She’s just upset; her anger will pass.”
Jas gently patted Emily’s hand, “Emily, I love your sister too.
But love doesn’t always an staying together.
I need to leave for now.” With a soft maneuver, he freed himself from her grasp, quickly opened the door, and slipped out.
“Brother-in-law!
Brother-in-law!” Emily chased him to the elevator, but there was no indicator of its use.
Rushing to the stairway, she saw no trace of him.
Shattered, she leaned against the wall, choking back sobs, “Brother-in-law, how could you leave…
Emily doesn’t want to lose you!”
From inside the house ca Gina’s heart-wrenching cries, filled with profound sorrow.
