Ch. 441..445: Stay Around You Now And Forever (Hunter Jackson) Chapter 441-445

Chapter 441: Everything Will Be Over

"In the Gale Group, your status is noble. How could I order you, Miss Wendy in the City L, to do something?"

Although Porter said this, his attitude towards Wendy was the same as before.

It was with disdain, contempt and without any respect.

Wendy really wanted to expose him.

But now, she couldn't offend him.

She exhaled and smiled humbly, "Mr. Porter, without you, I could never achieve these things. Of course, I will follow your orders."

She walked over and said respectfully, "Mr. Porter, I'm stupid. I don't know what to do next. Please give me a hint."

Porter flicked the cigarette. He thought for a while seriously and said,

"Are you sure that the Gale family won't reveal anything about you?"

In fact, to Porter, he didn't believe that the Gale family would pay so much attention to the kinship.

In order to protect Emily, they would rather let the Gale Group suffer a loss?

During this period of time, he began to get Wendy's share bit by bit, but it could only be finished secretly.

In other words, they just needed to wait.

Currently, Wendy only had twenty-five percent of the shares. He had bought five percent from the retail investor he assigned.

The remaining twenty-five percent were in processing.

If he bought all of the share too quickly, he would be implicated when Wendy was convicted of fraud.

He had to find a way to let them believe that Wendy's stock was bought by the retail investors all around the world.

He didn't expect that Wendy's true identity would be exposed.

It was she who decided to tell Joseph directly that she was not a Gale.

It was also Wendy who deceived Sawyer to go into the high seas. This time, the person in charge was indeed Wendy.

This woman was usually witless. No one expected her to be this smart and thorough.

"Mr. Porter, don't worry. They don't dare to act recklessly for the time being."

Wendy had lived with the Gale family for a period of time, and she knew quite a bit about Sawyer and Joseph.

Maybe they succeeded in the business, but their weakness was that they paid too much attention to the kinship.

Now she could take the advantage of this.

"Especially since Sawyer's condition is so critical, if something bad happens to Emily, wouldn't Joseph be afraid that Sawyer would directly die?”

Porter did not answer.

Wendy smiled and said, "In short, there is no need to worry. It looks secure. Mr. Porter, you can finish the things as planned."

"OK, I'll trust you once. After this, I won't forget your contribution."

Porter waved her hand. Wendy knew that he was asking her to leave.

He had always treated her like a servant, not giving her the slightest bit of mercy at all.

The moment Wendy came out of his room, she stopped smiling.

This damned Porter really didn't respect her at all.

After selling so many shares to him, why didn't he think about how much he had paid her?

Ten million!

Why didn't he steal it?

She was unwilling to sell the shares to him if the shares were not obtained illegally

and she was not afraid that something bad would happen in the future.

But the more Wendy thought about it, the more unwilling she felt!

She could be the richest woman in the City L, so why did she have to grovel to others?

He used ten million to buy the five-percent share of the Gale Group from her. Thinking of this, Wendy felt it was really a pity.

However, Porter had the proof of her guilt. She could only follow his orders. Wendy left the hotel. She drove to a nearby square and stopped her car there. She looked at her cell phone, and was deep in a myriad of thoughts and ideas. She was unwilling to live in this way.

Even if she had to grovel to someone else, that person shouldn't be Porter!

After an unknown amount of time, she was grim-faced. It was as if she had made up her mind and dialed the number, "Hunter..."

...

These two days, Emily was not disturbed by others.

She stayed in the hospital, accompanying her grandfather during the day and doing her own things at night.

Her grandfather was better, but he was still a little unconscious. He could not completely wake up.

The doctor said that Sawyer would recover slowly after being nursed because of this sequela.

Sawyer was not young. If he didn't have the good physical quality, he would not wake up after suffering two strokes.

Fortunately, he was still able to get up and take a walk. But he seemed to have

some neurological disorders that he didn't know what he was doing.

On the third day, the good news came from the Bentson City. Sally had

completely regained the consciousness.

The doctor allowed her to come out of the intensive care unit. The first thing Sally did was to call Emily.

"It's indeed Kate!"noveldrama

Emily tightened her grip on the phone.

It was actually Kate! That wicked woman dared to do the murder. How dare she

do this?

"Emi, I knew a big secret."

Sally had just woken up, and she was still very weak.

Even through the phone, Emily could feel Sally's anxiety.

She laughed.

She felt happy to have such a good friend in her life.

"Do you want to say that Kate attempted to murder you because you accidentally

heard about my origins?"

"Emi..." Sally was stunned.

What happened? Why did Emily know this?

"Sally, you have been unconscious for too long. I have known these things."

"I'm at the Gale's now. Grandpa and I recognized each other. They treat me very well and know Wendy's true colors."

As for other matters, Emily didn't intend talking too much with Sally because she had just recovered.

Although she had a lot to share with Sally, she couldn't say it now.

"Sally, take good care of yourself. Joseph will contact you. Then you can sue Kate together."

"She has committed a crime. We absolutely cannot let her go unpunished."

Sally always felt that Emily's words were a little strange. Why did she let Joseph contact her?

What about her? Did she let this drop?

Sally scratched her hair, wondering if it was because she was still a little unconscious that she could not fully understand what Emily said?

"Emi..."

"You haven't fully recovered yet. Don't think about anything. Take good care of yourself."

Emily's words had a kind of reassuring magic power, "Everything will end soon. Everything will come to an end."

Sally still didn't understand what Emily meant, but Emily didn't seem to want to talk anymore.

Emily found the excuse that she was busy and hung up.

Afterwards, she dialed another number, "Terry, I want to ask you a favor. Perhaps,

it will be quite hard."☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐

Chapter 442: the Letter She Left

At night, Emily was still sitting beside Sawyer's bed.

Although Sawyer's consciousness was still not clear enough, he seemed to like this girl very much.

Every time Emily came, Sawyer would eat more and be willing to let the nurse to help him do the rehabilitation training.

"Grandpa, are you happy now?" Emily gently rubbed his arms and asked softly only they were at the ward.

Sawyer couldn't answer her question, but he smiled.

Perhaps, if he didn't know anything, he would be carefree, then life would be better.

"If you feel happy now, then continue to be so happy until your body completely recovers, OK?"

Emily looked at her grandfather and felt a little sad. She wanted to tell him many things, but she couldn't.

At last, she only said, "Grandpa, please take care."

The light of Emily's room was still on until late at that night.

It was not until five in the morning that the light was turned off.

The next morning, when Sasha went to see Sawyer, she found that Emily was not there.

"Where's Emily?" She looked at Milo.

Milo shook his head, "But Miss Emily hasn't come yet. Maybe she is sleeping."

"How could that be? She usually comes to see her grandfather early in the morning in these days." Could it be that she was uncomfortable?

Sasha was worried that Emily was ill. She looked at her father who was still sleeping and said, "I'll go and see her. I'm afraid that she is ill."

After leaving her father's ward, Sasha walked to the ward next door and knocked on Emily's door.

"Emily, it's me. I'm Sasha. Are you still sleeping?"

But no one answered her.

Sasha frowned and knocked on the door again, "Emily?"

"I'm Sasha. Are you up? I'm coming in."

It was quiet. Emily did not answer.

Sasha suddenly felt a little anxious and worried.

She pushed the door open, but she didn't expect the door to be unlocked.

The blankets were neatly folded on the bed as if no one was sleeping on them last night.

Emily was not here, even the bathroom door was open. She was not here. What was going on?

"Emily?" Sasha walked in and looked the entire ward around, but she couldn't find Emily.

Just as she was about to go out to ask the nurse on duty, she saw a letter lying on the table when she turned around.

A letter?

Who would write letters in the modern society?

Sasha walked over and picked up the letter. It was addressed to Joseph.

Sasha felt she could not understand the younger generation.

They were fashionable. They wrote letters to each other in this era, when everything can be managed on mobile phones.

Sasha was a little curious. She wanted to open the letter.

But thinking again, she could not look at it without permission.

She put the letter down. When she walked out, she saw the nurse rushing over.

"Miss, Patriarch Gale's condition is not good. Please go over and see him."

Sawyer had been emotional all day. Sasha and Lottie went to see him.

So did Joseph and Francis.

Finally, after a two-hour treatment, Sawyer calmed down around ten o'clock in the morning.

"Doctor, what's going on?" Joseph wiped the sweat off his head.

Sawyer hadn't been so emotional before. Why would he be like this?

Joseph suddenly understood and looked around. He frowned, "Where's Emily?"

Emily didn't come here when her grandpa was in dire conditions. Why? What was going on?

Everyone was in a hurry just now, now that he thought about it, he found he hadn't seen Emily for more than two hours.

Sasha remembered something and said immediately, "She disappeared early in the morning. When I went to look for her, I found that her bed and blankets were neat and tidy."

She thought for a moment and suddenly felt a little uneasy, "Also, she ... left a letter for you."

"Letter?" Joseph was anxious, "What do you mean? Where is the letter?"

"The letter is in the ward where she lives."

At that time, Sasha did not find it strange and took it as their generation's thing.

But thinking about it now, it was really strange.

Emily cared about her grandfather the most. How could Emily not show up till now?

Joseph couldn't wait any longer, so he turned around and quickly walked to the ward next door.noveldrama

Emily was still absent, and the letter was on the table.

Joseph immediately went forward and opened the envelope. His hands inexplicably trembled.

The feeling of uneasiness became more and more intense, and he felt a gloomy foreboding.

The envelope was opened. Inside was a piece of A4 paper. It was Emily's handwriting.

She said generally. She just told Joseph that she was a little tired and wanted to have a rest for several days in a quiet place.

She told Joseph not to worry because she had a friend who could protect her.

Finally, she asked Joseph to take good care of her grandfather who should be kept from the news online, rest, and recover in the hospital.

The letter was only to tell Joseph that the email was indeed from her.

She handwrote this letter to prove the authenticity of the mail, because there was her handwriting.

Joseph immediately logged into his mailbox on the phone. Sure enough, he had received Emily's email an hour ago.

At that time, he was busy taking care of his grandfather, so he didn't pay attention to anything else.

The email was very long, mostly about what Wendy had done before, including that she had impersonated Emily and became the granddaughter of the matriarch of the Jackson family.

Also, she told Joseph that he could rest assured to sue Wendy for fraud because she didn't mind her identity being made public.

"Joseph, what does this mean?" Lottie did not see the email, but she felt she had known what Emily said.

Joseph tightened his fingers while holding the phone. He said, "Emily ... might, she might..."

Suddenly, the phone rang. Joseph said, "Spit it out!"

On the other end of the phone, the assistant said, "Mr. Joseph, what's going on? The video recorded by Miss Emily went viral."

"What video?" Joseph had been taking care of his grandfather for more than two hours. He didn't know anything about the video.

The assistant took a deep breath and said, "Miss Emily said that she is a Gale,

but Wendy is not. She said that Wendy gained the shares from Patriarch Gale and she would sue Wendy for fraud!"000

Chapter 443: Her Blood Is on Your Hands

Emily left.

She disappeared into thin air, after causing this online upheaval by declaring her identity as the granddaughter of Sawyer Gale.

But she didn't mention a single word about Joseph.

After Joseph learned about this, he immediately used his best PR team to clarify the rumors.

But there were not only photographs, but also videos.

No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't reverse it.

As one of the Gale family, Emily actually had an affair with the eldest young master. It was the biggest scandal for the family.

Just as Joseph was trying to salvage Emily's reputation, another video came out.

It was also recorded by Emily herself, saying that she liked Joseph, but at that time, she wasn't aware she was the granddaughter.

Joseph did not like her back, so she had to trick him into doing such a ridiculous thing by drugs.

She also said things didn't work out, to which people held some doubt.

But everyone chose to believe the part where she attempted to hook up with Hunter Jackson.

As a result, everything was Emily's fault.

Joseph, however, became an ignorant victim.

The news in City L had been focusing on this all day.

There came the most evil woman in this world.

It was not Wendy, who was accused of fraud, but Emily, who drugged her cousin.

She became synonymous with disgust, nasty, and shamelessness.

Negative comments from millions of people online were enough to ruin a girl's life. The Gales could finally file a suit against Wendy, at the cost of Emily's reputation. But the current problem was ... where was Emily?

Hunter only learned about it that noon.

He had been in a videoconference all morning. Liam told him right after it.

The look on his face got worse as he watched the two videos that Emily posted. What was this woman thinking? Destroying herself to save the family?

And what were all the Gales doing? Where was Joseph?

How could he let a little girl handle this alone? How could he call himself a man?

Just as he was about to go and question him, Joseph showed up.

"Are you hiding her?"

Joseph's eyes were bloodshot. Obviously, he was flustered.

Hunter looked furious, "How could you leave her all alone to this mess? Joseph, you're such a coward!"noveldrama

Joseph stared at him as if he wanted to read something from his face.

But all he could see was rage. This man was indeed furious.

Joseph clenched his fists and turned away.

Hunter chased after him, and his fist was about to land on his back.

Joseph dodged it by taking a sideway step.

Hunter hated sneak attack, or he wouldn't miss the target at all.

"Let's get this straight!"

Hunter waved his hand, and Liam together with two bodyguards immediately blocked the door.

A few guys coming with Joseph were also ready for a fight to protect their young master.

"You used to torture her, and now you're pretending to care about her? Hunter, what a good show!" Joseph sneered.

Hunter snorted. He never put on a show.

"Where exactly are you hiding her? Tell me!"

These two videos were enough to ruin Emily's life.

How could a young girl withstand it?

"What do you think? If I know where she is, why would I come to you?" said Hunter.

Joseph sobered. As long as she wasn't with Hunter, he didn't want to waste any time here.

Hunter also cooled down.

Joseph was indeed unaware of Emily's whereabouts. Could it be exactly her intention?

He knew her. Sacrificing herself for the sake of her family was exactly what she would do.

But this was no joke at all. She couldn't take this all by herself!

Drug... seduction ... was she crazy?

It broke his heart to think that Emily had become a slut to everyone else.

This whole thing was overwhelming.

"Hunter, I believe it's not your fault. I am looking for her now. If you still have a bit of sympathy for this girl who used to be with you, then please don't interfere."

He wasn't afraid of him. He just didn't want more time to be wasted.

He had to go. He had to find Emily before the reporters and anyone else did. Otherwise, she would only suffer more.

Joseph turned away again, but Hunter did not stop him because he had his own things to do.

"Liam, ask everyone to look for that ignorant girl, until you find her!"

His chest was still throbbing, as if it couldn't be relieved.

Liam immediately made several calls to anyone he could reach.

Hunter also went out in his own car with Liam.

He was looking for Joe.

"Where is Emily?" Hunter grabbed his collar the second he saw him. "Hunter, what's this all about?" Joe was, to some degree, afraid of him. After all, he could put him down with just one finger.

"I'm asking you, where is Emily?" Hunter didn't want to waste his breath.

Joe hadn't returned from City L. It must be because Emily still needed him.

Now that she had gone missing, who else could she turn to?

"I don't know. She only asked me to post two videos with virtual IP. Nothing else."

"Are you crazy? Have you even seen the videos before you posted them?"

Hunter wished he could strangle him to death. He actually helped make this disaster happen!

"You've ruined her life!"

"No, Hunter."

Joe almost suffocated with Hunter grabbing his collar.

But still, he looked at him with a determined look.

"I didn't destroy Emily's life. You did."

Joe smiled coldly and miserably.

Of course it broke his heart to see Emily doing this.

But what else could he do?

He knew her well. If he wouldn't offer help, she would find another way, probably a

more aggressive one.

At the very least, she was safe now. That mattered most.

Right now, he knew it was a bad time to provoke him.

But he was just so pissed off.

"Hunter, if something bad happens to her, or if she dies, her blood is also on your

hands!"☐☐☐☐☐☐☐

Chapter 444: Why Should He Care

If something happened to Emily, her blood ... was also on his hands.

Hunter involuntarily clenches his fists.

He had never given much thought about what he had done to her.

And he didn't know what it was that he cared so much.

What did he have to do with Emily's life and death? She was only a woman he had ditched.

What was it that made him care so much?

But, damn it, he just did!

"I swear I'll kill you if you don't tell me where she is."

Hunter narrowed his eyes, and there was a murderous frenzy inside.

Joe believed he meant what he said.

So what?

"Hunter, at least you've been with Emily for some time. Do you really think you can find her if she doesn't want you to?" he sneered.

Hunter's fists were tighter, and Joe suddenly felt difficult to breathe.

"Oh, Hunter, you are always so conceited. Why are you pleading someone else when you are already so capable?" he continued with the cold smile.noveldrama

"I'm not pleading!" Hunter commanded, "Speak!"

"I don't know."

With a thud, Joe was thrown to the wall and then heavily onto the ground.

His lips began to bleed. Before he could take a break, Hunter trod on his chest.

Joe couldn't breathe anymore, and blood rushed to his throat, almost suffocating him.

"Kill me if you want. I don't know where she is. She didn't tell me because she knew you'll torture me!"

Hunter trod harder.

But deep down, he knew if Emily didn't want herself to be found, she wouldn't tell Joe at all.

Telling him meant killing him—she knew that.

Hunter felt so restless when he couldn't find her. He just couldn't find a way to let it out.

"It's not necessarily a bad thing that she's hiding. She destroyed everything Wendy wanted. They will definitely come after her," said Joe.

Hunter's rage subsided.

He pulled back his foot.

"If you want the best for Emily, let me know as soon as you hear from her."

Hunter stared down at Joe and said in a softer tone.

He turned around and left. And then Liam left Joe his phone number.

Liam felt a little sorry for this young man covered in blood.

Usually, Hunter wouldn't lay a finger on such defenseless people. This was an exception.

Actually, there were always exceptions when it came to Emily. But even Hunter himself wasn't aware of that.

"If Miss Emily is in danger, or if you have any news of her, please let us know. Hunter will never hurt her anyway."

Joe glared at Liam. He wanted to say that he was exactly who hurt her the most.

But he couldn't say that out loud since Hunter had just chilled out.

Man's hunch told him that Hunter did care about Emily.

But since he cared, why did he hurt her in the first place?

"Hunter is a capable man. I believe he could figure it out on his own."

Joe wiped the blood from his mouth.

Liam put the paper with his phone number on the table beside him.

And then he turned away and tried to catch up with Hunter.

Joe walked to the table with one hand on his chest. Through the pain, he picked up the paper.

Was he really gonna tell Hunter when he heard something about Emily?

He really hated his imperious attitude, but he just wanted to do what was best for Emily.

If he had it right, Terry must have run away with Emily together. That explained why he couldn't reach him.

With Terry being there for her, Emily must be safe for now.

Terry would protect her even at the cost of his own life.

But where exactly could they go after such a horrible thing happened?

Joe coughed softly and a little blood came out.

He rolled up the paper and put it aside.

That bastard! He nearly beat him to death!

Emily had disappeared for three days.

On the first day, Hunter sent people to look for her while he himself also tried to look.

Afterwards, he hated to see himself losing control, so he forced himself back to work in the hotel.

But he never stopped sending people for Emily.

There was still no news of her on the next day.

Hunter began to feel even more restless and irritable. He couldn't devote himself

to any work, not even the meetings.

On the third day, there was still no news of Emily.

He choked at dinner, which he seldom did.

The hot coffee burned him. Even drinking water could choke him.

Not to mention, when he was having a video meeting, he pressed the wrong

button and shut it down completely.

This was the first and the most ridiculous thing he had done at work.

He had never ever done anything like those.

This whole thing really upset him.

He could not eat; he could not sleep; he completely lost his mind.

Meetings were suspended, and calls were no longer answered. He had started searching for her day and night.

He also felt so conflicted.

He insisted that he didn't care about that woman, who had betrayed him for

another man.

But what he was doing was a slap in the face.

Hunter was nearly out of his mind.

He was almost torn apart by his emotions as well as his reason.

Why would he even care about a woman who had hurt and betrayed him?

On the fourth day, he finally calmed himself down.

At least he appeared to be.

It was because he found another missing person-Terry Fields. He disappeared

together with Emily.

Well, there were always men around her!

Why the hell did he care so much?

"Young Master, Miss Gale is here." Liam knocked on the door.

"She's back?" Hunter suddenly stood up.

Liam didn't want to point it out but although Hunter said he didn't care, he did,

whole-heartedly did.

"It's Miss Wendy Gale."

The glow on Hunter's face suddenly became colder than ice.

"What is she doing here?"

Wendy was having a really hard time since she got sued by Joseph on behalf of

the whole family.

What else could she do except pleading him for help?

"Tell her to fuck off!" Hunter wasn't in the slightest bit of mood dealing with her.

"Hunter, I need to tell you something." On the corridor, Wendy, who was stopped

by the guards, had already heard his voice.

She looked so anxious and afraid to be driven off.

Hunter was now her only hope.

"Hunter ... Hunter, listen to me. There's something you don't know about your grandmother. Let me in, please?"

Chapter 445: I Quit

Grandma?!

Hunter, who was just about to sit down on the sofa, glanced at the door.

Liam hesitated for a moment before waving his hand.

The two guards retreated and made way for Wendy.

"I have no time for your crap." Hunter already looked irritable and aloof.

Not to mention, she was hoping for a nice talk.

Wendy had wanted to improve his impression of her with some last-minute efforts.

Now that she was here, she knew there was no way she could do that.

Wendy stopped beating around the bush for fear that Hunter would become impatient with her.

"Hunter, I have 25% shares of the Gale Group. I want to make a deal with you."

“None of them is illegally acquired. And they will be taken from you anytime soon. Why do you think I'll make a deal with you?"

Sure enough, Hunter already became impatient. He lit a cigarette and checked the watch on his wrist.

"I'm still in control of these shares, which I know I won't be pretty soon."

Wendy knew she didn't have much time. She just had to make a big fortune and ran away.

"Hunter, if you want, I... I'll sell them to you at a fair price."

Seeing that Hunter didn't say anything, she continued, "One billion!"

"I know you always have a way with this. You can sell them within a short while. One billion, that's all I want," She added.

"Porter Jackson only gave you ten million for 5% shares. And you want one billion from me for only 25%?"

Hunter snorted. He didn't seem to be interested at all.

Wendy was taken aback and completely panicked.

He actually knew ... everything!

"I won't take your shares. They belong to the Gales."

"But weren't you against them? Hunter, why is the sudden change of mind? Is it because of Emily?" asked Wendy.

In fact, she didn't know much about the feud between the Hunter and the Gale family.

But she was totally positive of its existence.

"So you've given up already? Can you really let go of everything they have done to you?"

Hunter's eyes darkened instantly.

His fingers holding the cigarette involuntarily tightened.

He couldn't let it go.

Because of what happened to Emily and how she disappeared, he panicked and lost all his senses.

He still wanted revenge! How could he give in so easily?

Now that Emily made sacrifices, the Gales could finally sue Wendy, which could solve at least half of their problems.

The other half was the contract with the Jackson Group.

If the project continued, the Gale Group would definitely suffer a huge loss. If they suspended it, the high liquidated damages were still a heavy blow.

If something bad were to happen to the Gales' shares, then this would be a blow way too heavy for them to bear.

Wendy knew her words had triggered the deepest resentment in him.

She bit her lip as if she was making the hardest decision, "I only want 100 million!" she said in a low voice.

A hundred million was enough for her to flee, hide, and even live a well-off life for quite a long time.

Otherwise, she might never be able to escape.

Nobody else, especially not that useless guy, Porter, could handle her shares well in a short period of time.

Hunter Jackson was probably the only person in the world who could do that.

"Hunter, I'm not greedy or something. I just want to make it easier for the rest of my life. I..."

"Why should I make it easier for you?"

Hunter suddenly turned around and stared into her face.

His face looked calm, but the hidden wave was intimidating.

"Joseph and Emily were drugged and videotaped. Were you part of it?"

"I..." Wendy panicked. She didn't expect it at all that Hunter was still thinking about that bitch!

"They... they drugged them, not me. Really, it was Sasha."

Although being stared by Hunter gave her a chill down the spine, she was telling the truth.

"I shot the video, but... Sasha was the one who drugged them."

Hunter was walking towards her.

Unlike before, she didn't feel closer to him, nor did she feel she could hook up with him.

She had already seen it through.

She was nothing to him, nothing.

Everything about them in the past was just a show he put up for the Gales.

“Hunter, I ... I don't understand... why you still care about Emily? You have a feud with the Gales. And Emily is the granddaughter of Sawyer Gale!" Hunter suddenly stopped.

Wendy couldn't breathe normally. When he looked at her in a calm gaze, she could literally feel death.

"Hunter..."

"I won't take any share of the Gale Group. Get out!"

Hunter turned around and walked to the window, staring outside at the dim sky.noveldrama

He had been anxious for three days, but it was only after three days that he realized the woman who had haunted him was the granddaughter of his enemy! What the hell was he thinking? Grandma died so miserably. Did he forget about that?

Wendy despaired.

There was nothing she could do about his cold shoulder.

Hunter always meant what he said. And his decision didn't easily change.

At least... at least she still got ten million.

Wendy didn't stay any longer and was ready to leave.

But just as she walked to the door, she remembered something. She turned around and watched his cold but still charming figure, clenching her fists.

She didn't want to quit on him. She never did!

Why couldn't this man, the dreamy type of every woman in this world, belong to her?

Even if he didn't belong to her, he should certainly not belong to that bitch Emily!

"Hunter, don't forget Emily is the granddaughter of your enemy. Why are you still looking for her everywhere? How could you do this to your families who were hurt by them?"

"Fuck off!"

This time Wendy did what he said. She knew if she didn't, Hunter would have a way to make her regret it.

She couldn't stay in City L anymore.

If she didn't leave, perhaps she would have to spend the rest of her life in prison.

After Wendy left, Liam walked over behind Hunter.

He wanted to persuade him not to be affected by what Wendy said, but it seemed Hunter already did.

"Young Master, the Gales..."

"Let Porter do whatever he wants."

It seemed Hunter decided to stay out of it even if the Gale Group suffered great

loss.

"Young Master, even if we can benefit from it, it still does something bad to our reputation."

Honesty was important in business, especially for large enterprises like them.

It would completely ruin the reputation to make the other party jump into a trap,

regardless of how much benefit they could reap.

Especially for the Gale family, most of them were decent businessmen.

Mr. Porter made such a scene for some petty little profits. It didn't do any good to

the Jackson Group in the long run.

"Young Master, are you really gonna walk away from this?

"Since I wasn't part if it from the start, I'd like to keep it that way."

There was nothing but chill in Hunter's voice.

He turned around at Liam. The same old unapproachable Hunter Jackson was

back.

"Call back all our people out there looking for that woman. I quit."
