Chapter 72
“Leon, I want you to do something for me,” Jason called his assistant as soon as he reached home.
“What is it, boss?”
“Find out everything about Natalie for the last five years. I don’t care what means you use, but I want every detail about her and her husband. Find out if she was pregnant before she left Sterling City and whether I am the father of her child.”
“Yes, boss. I will do it right away.”
Jason waited patiently. He somehow could not get Jojo’s image out of his head, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that Jojo was his daughter.
The first time he met Natalie and Jojo at school, he did not think much about it. From Jojo’s appearance, she must be slightly older than Jayden, and so she might be his daughter.
He knew that there was no way Natalie would have moved on that fast after their divorce, given how much she loved him.
If Jojo were really his daughter, then he would do everything in his power to win Natalie back.
He was stupid to have asked for a divorce back then, and for the last five years, he had been living in constant regret.
As he was still waiting for his assistant’s report, Jason received a call from Vivian.
“Babe, you said that you would come to see me today. I really miss Jayden. Can you please bring him?”
“I am busy with something important, but I will see what I can do.”
“Babe, when are you going to get us out of this mess? I really can’t take it anymore. I feel like I might lose my mind if I continue to stay in this house.”
“Vivian, you know that my father took back everything after I messed up, so I can’t really be of help right now. The only person who can help you now is Natalie, and you know how she feels about me, so I can’t seek her out.”
Vivian could not believe her eyes. Was Jason bailing out on them? If he did not help them, then they would be done for.
“Jason, what do you mean? Are you trying to distance yourself from this case?”
“What are you talking about, Vivian? I am not involved to begin with, or else, I would also be under house arrest like you.”
“What, Jason, how could you say something like that?”
“My father is starting to believe in me again, and I can’t afford any scandal right now. Five years ago, you said that you wanted to reunite with your father, and that’s all I helped you with.”
Jason hung up the phone without waiting for Vivian to reply. There was no way he was going to get involved. He could not afford Natalie hating him more than she does now.
Vivian sat on the chair, disbelief written all over her face.
Her mother looked at her and asked, “Vivian, what happened? Why is your face so pale? Don’t you feel well?”
“Mom, I think we are in big trouble.”
“What are you talking about? What happened?”
“I think that Jason just bailed out on us.”
“What? Why would he do that?” Sophia asked in a shrieked voice.
“He said that he doesn’t want any scandals right now. I think the old man is handing the company back to him.”
“I don’t honestly know what to do. With how resilient the police are, we will soon be taken to court, and we don’t even have the money to hire a lawyer.”
“Vivian, don’t worry, I will think of something. You are my only daughter, and I will never let anything happen to you, I promise.”
…
“Boss, I am sorry, I haven’t been able to find out anything,” Leon said.
“What do you mean?” Jason asked, clearly displeased by his assistant’s words.
“We can’t find out anything about Natalie or her husband. We keep getting warnings to stop looking.”
“What?” Jason was stunned. Was his dad right when he said that Sean was a bigshot? Could he really be an influential person?
But how is that even visible? Wasn’t he just the Boardroom Beast assistant? Why would his information be so discreet?
As for Natalie, wasn’t she just a doctor? When did she become so powerful? Could it really be that someone powerful was backing them?
Jason mumbled, “Natalie, you can’t do this to me. I accept that I made a mistake, but you cannot keep my daughter away from me forever.”
Jason took his coat and left the office. “I need to find out answers as soon as possible.”
Jason drove directly to the hospital where Natalie was walking. After giving the security guard a few notes, he entered the hospital with ease.”
Judy was headed to the hospital canteen for lunch, but the moment she saw Jason, she stopped in her tracks.
It had been a long time since she met with Vivian, but she had not been able to find any substantial evidence against Natalie, and she had almost given up.
But when she saw Jason, she was excited. She knew for a fact that he was here to see that bitch.
Maybe she should call Vivian and inform her.
“Vivian, you won’t believe what I just saw.”
“What do you mean? It has been so long, but you haven’t given me any news. Looks like I overestimated you.” Vivian said in a cold voice. She was already in a bad mood after how Jason had treated her, and she was not in the mood to entertain unimportant people.
“I am sorry, Vivian, it is just that there hasn’t been an opening since Natalie has been being dropped off and picked up by Dr. Sean for the past few weeks. It would have been suspicious if I just caused trouble.”
“What do you mean by Dr. Sean. You mean Sean Cole?”
“Yes, he is a cardiologist at our hospital, but I heard that he is focusing more on his business, so he is rarely at the hospital unless he is coming to see Natalie. I heard that the two are married.”
‘When did Sean become a doctor?’ Vivian asked in her heart.
He was becoming more mysterious these days!
Could it really have made it in life, and now he was rich?
Judy did not read much into Vivian’s silence as she continued to report, “Viv, I just saw your husband. I think he is here for that back-stabbing bitch.”
“What? You mean to say that Jason is at the hospital right now?”
“Yes, he’s headed to that slut’s office as we are speaking.”
“Fuk, Jason!”
