Chapter 81 Return To The Militarys Residential Compound (2/2)

Stephen then became quiet, since he knew that Jackson must have realized by now of Cherry's disappearance. However, even if he told Jackson about Cherry's hiding place, Jackson still couldn't bring his wife back.

”Jackson, what's wrong with my abilities? Haven't I always been in your control? You're just beating the air around here in my office.” Stephen didn't resign himself to be intimated by Jackson.

”Stephen, don't play games with me. Tell me where she is, now!” Jackson was losing his patience, and he desperately needed to know where Cherry was. If Stephen decided to waste his time, then he would push him hard to tell him the truth.

”Jackson, do y

“Who does she think she is? I won’t marry her even if she is the last woman on earth,” said Hiram Rong.

“Marry into a family with tens of billions of assets? How lucky I am! I won’t be so foolish as to break off the engagement. At worst, I can receive money as part of the divorce settlement,” said Rachel Ruan.

Their great-grandfathers made a pact about their engagement a hundred years ago...

Jackson then went upstairs and into the bedroom, and he pulled the wedding picture off the wall and smashed it onto the ground.

The back of his hand was cut by a piece of glass, and blood started to ooze out of his wound.

When Derek saw the blood, he grabbed Jackson's arm, and said, ”You're bleeding; your wound should be dressed.”

When they had first met, it was Cherry who had sneaked first into his bed in his hotel room, and it was also she who had agreed to marry him, but now she had disappeared, and had left him in the dark. He had thought that she would be a lovely and well-behaved wife, and that she would greet him every night when he came home. What a fool he was for believing that...

Jackson was shocked by Derek's sudden outburst of anger, because this was the first time that Derek, as Jackson's subordinate, had ever dared to behave like that.

He then soon calmed down. Derek ignored the possible reproach from Jackson for his rudeness, and added, ”Can't you live without her? You're an ambitious and brave soldier, and most of all, you're a man. Just look at what you're doing to yourself!”

Although Derek's words couldn't bring reason back into Jackson's mind, they successfully mitigated his anger.

After Jackson calmed down, Derek grabbed his arm, and said, ”Come, we should return to the residential compound.”
