Chapter 1381

This sudden act of robbery caused Madeline to be at a loss.

She lifted her head to see a shifty-eyed reporter snatching away the letter to take a look.

However, if the contents of the letter were exposed, the destruction of the Jones family’s reputation would be nothing compared to disturbing the departed spirit of Old Master Jones.

Madeline ran up to snatch the letter back when she saw that the reporter was about to read out the contents of the letter without permission. However, when she was about to do it, Mr. Jones instantly charged up to him like a lion that had been enraged. He grabbed the reporter’s collar and ordered through gritted teeth, “Give me back the letter!”

The reporter was shocked. However, at the same time, he knew he was holding an important piece of news, so he could not let go of it.

“Give it back to him.”

Suddenly, Jeremy’s voice sounded neither too quickly nor too slowly. Even though his tone was unperturbed, his aura was enough to make the reporter feel anxious—especially with how Jeremy was looking at him right now. His eyes were like an eagle’s as they exuded a spine-chilling aggressiveness.

“Why? Are you going to give it back to him or not? Or do you want me to get it myself, hmm?” Jeremy was talking slowly, but what he was trying to say was invulnerable.

The corners of the reporter’s mouth twitched. Then, he hurriedly and timidly handed the letter that he had just gotten to Mr. Jones.

After Mr. Jones got the letter, he put it away carefully as if it was a piece of treasure.

He then looked over the contents of the letter carefully again. After that, his face became even paler.

He looked at Jeremy and Madeline. After a long while, he held the letter and looked into the cameras brought by the media.

“Everyone, I need to make some things clear using this opportunity,” Mr. Jones announced earnestly, “I want to sincerely apologize for the statements my wife and I put out about the Whitmans killing my father 15 years ago and them killing my son now. There were never any entrapments or conspiracies.

This entire time, it was only a huge misunderstanding.”

“Oh…”

Everyone looked at each other and started asking with doubts on their faces.

“Misunderstanding? Mr. Jones, can you tell us what misunderstanding it is?”

Mr. Jones answered without hesitating, “The Whitmans got the project 15 years ago with their own ability and it had nothing to do with the Jones family. My father and Old Master Whitman had been good friends the entire time even up to the point of my father’s passing. As for my son…”

Mr. Jones sighed in low spirits and heartbreak.

“This entire time, Rye had misunderstood. He chose the wrong path these years and did some horrible things. As his parents, we can’t push the responsibilities to someone else. This has nothing to do with Mr. and Mrs. Whitman. I’m apologizing to them and the Whitmans right now in front of everyone. I’m sorry.”

Mr. Jones sounded sincere and he also bowed to them slightly.

It was evident he was being genuine.

However, the reporters were still unwilling to give up. “Mr. Jones, what’s in the letter and why could it change your mind so quickly all of a sudden? Is this letter—”

“Please don’t make any nonsensical guesses,” Mr. Jones interrupted, “This is just a farewell letter my father wrote to Old Master Whitman before he passed. I won’t tell everyone the details of the letter but I can tell you that my father explained clearly what happened during the bid 15 years ago. It was all just a misunderstanding.”

Mr. Jones was sincere, then he looked at Jeremy before thanking him. “Thank you, Mr. Whitman. You too, Mrs. Whitman.”

Madeline and Jeremy looked at each other and smiled with tacit mutual understanding.

At this moment, the room of the ward opened.

Mr. and Mrs. Jones ran up and asked nervously, “Doctor, how’s my son? How is he now?”

The doctor was feeling helpless as he sighed in agitation. “The patient said he wants to see some woman named Eveline Montgomery. If he doesn’t see her, he’ll be refusing all treatments.”

The reason Madeline dropped by was to prevent Jeremy from handling all of the allegations alone. She did not expect that she would need to see Ryan again.

To be honest, she did not want to see Ryan.
