Chapter 717
“No need. I’m hungry. I don’t want to wait anymore.”
She entered the dining hall and had dinner alone. Her mind was still on Britney’s matters.
When she was almost full, she suddenly had a thought and got up to go upstairs. She took out her phone and made
a call.
“Evans, can you get Mr. Gilbert to help and check Britney’s computer and handphone? Don’t let go of any fine
details!”
Jason agreed and after Fia hung up, he looked at Kent, who was sitting opposite him.
“Fia can’t have called you, right?” Kent made a guess.
Jason nodded, picked up his drink, and drank it unhappily.
Seeing the situation, Kent was quite speechless.
“You didn’t drink much in the past. How did you become an alcoholic after you gave up medicine and entered the
business world?”
“Things are no longer like they were in the past. Many things are not up to me.” Jason picked up the cup and
finished the remaining alcohol before pouring himself another cup.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Don’t drink so much!” Kent had a stern expression.
“It’s fine. My alcohol tolerance is actually not bad.” Jason pinched the center of his brows. “Kent, I’ve never told
anyone this before.”
“Told what?” Kent asked curiously.
“Everyone only sees how glorious it was for me to have taken over Argonauts Corp. The old staff who have been
following my dad don’t like me. I have to make Argonauts Corp better and get everyone’s support!”
“Jase, why do you have to do this? It’s not like you lack money. Even if you play for the rest of your life, you wouldn’t
die of hunger!”
“When a person is alive, there is a need to do something practical for some people.”
“For Fia? Does she know?” Kent felt a headache. “She only has Conrad in her heart. There’s no room for
you at all!”
“It’s not entirely for her. It can also be considered for my mother as well,” Jason said with a bitter laugh.” The two
of us have been through a lot in the past and even now, there are many people who look down on my mother. As a
son, only by becoming more outstanding can I make her proud and endure less curses.”
Kent was stunned for two seconds before raising his cup to Jason and offering a cheer. “Then, I shall wish you all the
best!”
Thanks. Then, I will have to trouble you with Fia’s matter.”
Kent pursed his lips. “Although you are not willing to admit to it, you have the same terrible character as Conrad!
Both of you are competitive, proud, and protective!”
Jason gave a lonely smile. “We can’t escape from having the same blood flowing within us.”
Kent seemed to have thought of something and asked curiously, “My mother mentioned that you had a younger
sister?”
Jason was slightly stunned, but nodded a little bitterly after that.
“Is she really dead?” Kent asked carefully.
Jason said slowly with great difficulty, “Her body was never found.”
“So, it’s possible that she’s not dead, right? Could she have just gotten separated?” Kent heard from his mother
that Jason’s mother had cried so hard back then that she went half blind and needed to go through treatment for
over a year before recovering.
“She… didn’t know how to swim. And she fell into the ocean from a ship. Many people were sent out to search but
her body was never found.”
Jason took a breath. His sister was not even three that year. He was already seven or eight and could remember
things, and was also sad for a long time.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSo many years had passed and he had never mentioned this to anyone.
Today, Kent raised the matter and his heart still hurt.
His small, soft, little sister. The four of them had been on a holiday, and… she innocently fell into the
ocean.
Seeing Jason’s lonely and sad expression, although Kent was curious about how his sister had fallen into the ocean,
he did not dare to ask any further.
After all, it was a three-year-old who did not know how to swim and had fallen into the ocean. Even though they had
sent out search parties in a timely manner, they could not find her body, so she definitely would not be alive. The
ocean was not like a river. There were sharks and whatnots and who knew what other unnamed scary living
creatures were in there.
Sigh, that little lady was truly pitiful!
After Jason had another cup, his mood improved and he said to Kent, “Kent, I’ll have to trouble you to put in some
effort to get Britney’s handphone or computer.
Kent replied, “You don’t have any vengeance with the Thomases, do you? Why are you suddenly thinking of
investigating her?”
