Chapter 905
Sally was surprised to hear this. She knew quite well what Clarice meant. Clarice, being Jason’s mother, invited her
to see her son more often. This meant that she had won Clarice’s approval to be with Jason.
Still, Jason did not have feelings for her. To be frank, after their conversation in the ward. earlier, it was quite likely
that Jason would not want to see her again.
“My apologies. I have a lot of patients to attend to so I might not have the time.”
Although disappointed, Clarice maintained a graceful smile and nodded. “Oh, silly me. I forgot that doctors are very
busy. It’s alright, I understand. Jason, too, was very busy when he was at doctor. He was so busy that he didn’t
come home often.”
“Yes, indeed he was.”
Then, Sally quickly bid them farewell and left in a hurry. She needed to leave as quickly as she could because she
was afraid that she would do something she would regret. It was a common strategy for girls to win the approval of

She could not do that. Jason had already told her quite clearly that he had no feelings for her. He wanted her to
give up on chasing him.
“That girl…” Clarice pulled Garrett back onto their seats and said worriedly, “I have a hunch that she has feelings
for Jason.”
Garrett frowned and said, “But Jason doesn’t like her. Let’s not meddle in this.”
“But… you can’t possibly ask me to sit by when Jason is in so much torment loving a woman.” Clarice put a hand on
her chest and said with a heavy heart, “Oh, poor Jason… My poor little baby boy…”
Hugging her, Garrett lightly tapped on Clarice’s hand and comforted her, “Don’t fret about it too much. Who knows,
things might get better. Jason’s a good boy so he’s bound to meet his perfect match one day.”
Clarice wept in his embrace and pounded on his chest with her fists. “It’s you…! It’s all your fault! Why did you show
up in my life…? Why…?! Why must my poor Jason suffer all this with me?!”
“Yes, you’re right… It’s all my fault.” Garrett was feeling frustrated and doleful about all this as well. Yet, he had to
act strong and not show weakness so as to not make his wife feel even more insecure.
If his hunch was correct, Conrad would retaliate and take revenge on Clarice very soon for hurting Fia. This boy…
Conrad was his flesh and blood, after all. The way they did things was quite alike.
Sally walked to her office, wanting to give her brother a call. However, when she walked through the door, she saw
Peter sitting in front of her desk.
“Pete, why are you here?” She hurried to her desk and switched off the monitor.
Peter smirked at her sarcastically. “What are you afraid of?”
“Nothing.” Sally frowned, “What do you want?”
Peter put his left arm on the table and said, “My arm got hurt.”
Hearing this, Sally sat next to him so she could examine his arm.
“Conrad had his men break my arm. When treating my arm, he even asked the physician to not use anaesthetic.”
Peter looked into Sally’s eyes and said, “Do you know how painful it was?”
Sally looked into his eyes and said, “It’s you who started it. You were the one who tried to murder Fia.”

Sally raised her chin and said, “If you weren’t my brother, Conrad wouldn’t be satisfied with just breaking your
arm.”
Peter tilted his head and glared at his sister. “Do you know what his men interrogated me for?”
Sally clenched her teeth and did not say a word. She knew he had to have gone through an anguishing experience
under Conrad’s wrath. If not, Peter would not lock himself in his room. all day.
“Sally Hall!” Peter grimaced and said, “I worked so hard to provide for you! So that you could. have a proper
education and live a good life! Yet this is how you repay me?!”
In that instant, the siblings glared at each other.

Sally was already at her limit. She had been bearing a lot of thoughts, tormenting her mind in past few days. And
this… Her brother did not seem regretful for all his villainous actions… He was glaring at her like he did nothing

Sally raised her voice as she glared at Peter. “Then what do you want from me?! To turn into a demon like you?! Is
that it?!”
