Chapter 168

Chapter 168 Jason had forced Corey into prison, causing his illness to worsen. Now that Corey was dead, even if Jason didn’t do it, he was partly responsible.

Jason panicked at that moment. However, he was too calm and restrained. Other than the bulging veins on his hand, he did not reveal his chaotic emotions.

After his head stopped spinning, Jason said in a low voice, “Why didn’t you send him to the hospital when he had a relapse? How could he have died in prison?”

Eric swallowed and explained, “Didn’t you give the police orders to prevent Ms. Sophia from begging Mr. Clark to save Mr. Taylor? The police didn’t receive your orders and didn’t dare to let Mr. Taylor go. Even when I called them, they wouldn’t let Mr. Taylor go. With the delay...”

Jason’s originally calm expression turned cold, and a dark light flashed in his eyes. “Are you saying Mr. Taylor died because he was not sent to the hospital in time?”

A sense of powerlessness and panic rose in Jason’s heart. Even his legs became weak. If his orders delayed the rescue, he would have killed Corey.

Eric’s hoarse voice came, interrupting Jason’s thoughts. “That’s right. The police contacted Mrs. Taylor at the onset of Mr.

Taylor’s illness. Mrs. Taylor went to look for Ms. Sophia. Ms. Sophia couldn’t contact you, so she had no choice but to call me.

I’m sorry, Mr. Wilson. I tried my best.”

Eric had received the news of Corey’s death on the way to the police station. No matter what, he was too late.

Jason’s tall figure staggered. The hand that held the phone also shook slightly. He did not expect such a big thing to happen the moment he left Cester City.

In the past few days, Jason had been caught up with Sophia and tormented by his love for her. He had forgotten about Corey, who was in prison. If he had known this would happen....

But Jason couldn’t have predicted this. No matter how regretful he was now, he couldn’t turn back time and revive Corey.

“Handle his funeral first. We’ll talk about everything when I get back.”

Eric agreed. After hesitating, he asked cautiously, “Are you coming back now?”

Jason was already walking back into the plane. His footsteps were hasty. “Yes, I’m coming back now.”

With that, Jason hung up and walked faster.

When Jason reached the stairs, he bumped into Ada, who was changing her clothes.

Ada said, “Jason, I’m done. Let’s go to the hotel first.”

Jason glanced at Ada and said, “There’s an emergency in Cester City. I have to go back and deal with it. You can stay here for a few days first. I’ll come back later to accompany you.”

Jason walked around Ada and prepared to board the plane.

Ada naturally knew what had happened in Cester City. Corey probably died. Since Jason was in a hurry to rush back, the situation must have Fri, 28 JU!!

Chapter 168 been out of control and he was flustered.

Ada grabbed Jason’s wrist and reminded him, “Jason, don’t forget our five–day deal.”

45%

Jason was forced to stop. He turned and stared at Ada coldly. There was no longer any pity in his eyes. “We’ll postpone it for a few days. I’ll return to accompany you after I’m done in Cester City.”

Ada looked at him and said, “Tomorrow is my birthday. You must stay with me.”

Jason was stunned. After thinking for a long time, he still could not remember when Ada’s birthday was. If she said it was tomorrow, so be it. “But I have to go back. Let go.

when Ada heard this, not only did she not let go, but she even tightened her grip. “Jason, think carefully. If you leave me here today, our deal will be voided.”
