Chapter 425 The Clandestine Meeting (1/2)

Mond stood in front of the villa's french windows watching the scenery outside pass, and reminiscing about his childhood. The pain from his past was still very much alive. He was haunted by the helpless feelings while his mother, lay alone dying, and wracked with pain. Back then, he was too young to do more than cry. Now, he could afford to give his mother the best care, but she was gone, and no amount of money could change that.

A muffled ringtone brought Mond back to present, and he reached into his pocket, clicking to accept the call without checking who it was as he brought the cell to his face.

”Mr. Mond, I received confirmation that Mr. Stephen has transferred all his assets out of his name, ” a man's voice on the other end of the cell stated.

”Who did he transfer them to?” Mond asked coldly. He knew who before he heard the confirmation.

”They were signed over to...” There was a brief pause on the other end before he heard, ”Jackson.”

Mond was furious; he narrowed his eyes, clenching his cell tightly as he screamed into it, ”Where's Stephen right now?”

”He's at his apartment. You should know, it looks like he's bought a ticket and is planning to leave in a couple of days, ” the voice informed Mond.

Mond didn't acknowledge the person speaking, or thank him; he pressed the button ending the call and walked out of the room.

Within seconds he'd gotten down the stairs and was out of the villa, driving away.

The speed Mond drove at was terrifying. He was at Stephen's apartment in no time and after haphazardly parking against the gate, he got out and stormed into the building.

Stephen heard a knock at the door and stopped packing in his room to see who was there..

Stephen was greeted by a fist to his face as he opened the door. Dazed, he stumbled, ”Why..? Why? Why did you do it?” Mond roared, his eyes were ablaze with fury.

Stephen couldn't regain his balance, stumbling he fell backwards.

Mond took a step toward Stephen, grabbed him by the collar, and punched him again.

”Tell me! Why did you do that?” Mond screamed at Stephen hysterically.

Stephen knew he would probably end up dead at Mond's hands if he didn't fight back.

Stephen seized Mond by the arm, twisting it back roughly as he shouted in Mond's face, ”I told you before, I am done with all this revenge!”

”But, your actions helped Jackson! The JS Group would have been destroyed soon you hadn't given him money!” Mond's anger shone clearly on his face as he cried out.

”Even if we destroyed the JS Group, how much do you think Jackson would lose?” asked Stephen.

Mond didn't answer.
