Chapter 152
With red eyes, Jennifer looked at him, hesitated for a moment, and then said, โJason, after your accident, we suspected your car had been tampered with. Weโve reported it to the police, and theyโve already contacted Natalie. The police are downstairs investigating.โ
Jason bit his lip, thinking, โCould it really be Natalie? She clearly warned me not to race.โ He couldnโt bring himself to believe her words.
At that moment, Nick took out a stock transfer agreement and earnestly said, โJason, youโll be sent abroad for treatment in three days. Once youโre out of the country, Iโll arrange everything. You currently hold 5% of the shares; can you transfer them to Dad for now?โ
He added, โThe company is in turmoil, and Iโm worried about its future, but we canโt delay your treatment. Your mother canโt even come to see you because of company issues.โ
Hearing Nickโs words, Jason was stunned. He suddenly recalled the recording she had him listen to. He thought, โIs it true that the ones who want me dead are Dad and Jennifer?โ
His mother had said she would divorce, but she didnโt want him anymore.
Deeply shaken, he looked at the stock transfer document, and his heart sank. He thought, โCould it be that what my mother said is true?โ
He remembered Natalieโs words. The reason Zach hadnโt exposed him was that he wanted to see him get a fatal blow from the person he loved the most. He thought, โCould it be that everything Natalie said is true?โ
Jason felt fear creeping in, afraid that the sister he had doted on since childhood was truly the executioner.
Jason was furious, staring at his father with intense anger. โDad, I just got into an accident, and now I can barely talk or lift my hands, and you want me to transfer the shares to you? Are you that desperate for my shares?โ
Seeing him angry, Nick lowered his stance, thinking, โThe most important thing now is to get him to sign the share transfer and complete my plan. Iโve been feeling unwell these past few days!"
He said, โAlright, alright, if you donโt want to give them to me, just give them to Jennifer. You love her so much; she can hold the shares for you, and you can rest easy.โ
Jason shouted in rage, โGet lost!โ He held onto the 5% shares, which his mother had previously asked him to hand over. But he hadnโt done it, thinking his mother was lying. His mind was in chaos.
He thought, โWho is telling the truth, and who is lying? Did they call the police early? Was Natalie at the scene today?โ
โWas Natalie at the scene today?โ Jasonโs face turned pale, his voice weak. The pain in his legs was unbearable, and darkness beckoned him. He looked at Jennifer with piercing eyes.
โSo, it turns out you two are after the shares,โ Jason said with a faint smile that wasnโt quite a smile.
Jennifer and Nick frowned, thinking, โDid he figure something out?โ
โDo you have any evidence that Natalie set me up?โ His voice was low and hoarse.
Jennifer frowned. โJason, it must be because of the incident where you secretly took her design drafts to Isabelle. Sheโs been holding a grudge and is now plotting against you.โ
She added, โAfter your accident, we reviewed the surveillance footage and saw a suspicious figure around your car. After he was caught, he claimed it was Natalie who instructed him, which made Dad furious enough to call the police.โ
She continued, โJason, I know sheโs your biological sister, and this must be hard for you to hear. But right now, your leg treatment is what matters. Let the law deal with Natalie.โ
Jason closed his eyes and painfully asked, โWhereโs my phone?โ
Jennifer approached, watching him hesitating to sign, a flash of murderous intent crossing her eyes. โJason, just rest. Your phone is being kept by Dad. Once you sign the share transfer, Dad will return it to you.โ
Jason suddenly jolted, opening his eyes wide. โJennifer, what do you mean? Are you threatening me?โ
Jennifer shook her head in grievance. โJason, how is this a threat? Iโm just thinking about your health. You just said you have no strength to lift your hand. If you canโt sign, how can you check your phone? Jason, you donโt care about me at all.โ
Jason looked at her feigned innocence, and at that moment, it felt as if something had shattered inside him.
โGiving it to you is love; not giving it to you means I donโt love you? Jennifer, you know that 5% of the shares is my only source of income. Are you so kind-hearted that you want to take this away from me too?โ Jason said while closing his eyes.
Just then, a police officer came up, interrupting whatever Jennifer was about to say. โMr. Simpson, Ms. Shawn has arrived. Please come with us to give a statement.โ
Nick and Jennifer exchanged glances, and Nick smiled. โAlright, officer, weโll be there shortly.โ
Nick walked over, placed a pen in Jasonโs hand, and said, โJason, hurry up and sign. The company is in trouble, and I need these shares to help your mother.โ
Jason knew the company was struggling, and his mother was holding on alone. โAlright! I can give my shares to my mother, but I wonโt give them to you.โ
Nick compromised. โThatโs fine. You sign your name, and Iโll give them to your mother.โ This paper was special; under the light, the name would appear, and he could manipulate it at will.
Jason angrily said, โLet my mom come; I want to see my mom.โ If he werenโt lying down and unable to move, he would go find her himself. He vaguely felt that his mom was right.
โWhat are you thinking? Do you think weโre plotting against your shares? If you go abroad, Jasmine and the kid can live off those shares. But currently, you canโt earn money to support them. How do you expect them to live?โ Jennifer knew he loved Jasmine deeply.
Thinking of Jasmine, Jasonโs eyes cleared a bit. He thought, โI canโt let her kid suffer. I canโt earn money to support the family right now, but if I leave the shares to them, I can focus on getting better.โ
โIf I sell the car dealership, Iโll have enough money to treat my legs. I canโt let Jasmine and the kid suffer.โ
โDad, Iโll give you the shares. While Iโm abroad for treatment, please take care of Jasmine and the kid. Iโll try to get my legs fixed and come back to take care of them.โ Jason struggled to sign his name. He thought, โDad wouldnโt just ignore his own grandson, right?โ
Jennifer and Nick breathed a sigh of relief.
Nick was excited. โJason, you just focus on resting. Iโll take care of Natalie; she will pay for this!โ
Jason said in pain, โAfter all, sheโs my sister. Just because Iโm disabled doesnโt mean she should go to jail. A lesson is enough.โ Jennifer sneered, thinking, โThis time, Iโll make sure Natalie disappears completely. Iโll do everything I can to make her pay.โ
While Jason was sent abroad, it was the perfect place to create accidents; the father and daughter quickly left the hospital room.
