Chapter 519 - The Real Reason (1/2)

Wells Family Mansion

Jason came home quite late at night. He didn't have any personal servant as he didn't like being watched by other people. At most, there would be several servants coming at certain days to clean up the mess of his house.

”Welcome back, Brother Jason.”

Hearing that voice, Jason stilled in his place. He quickly ran to the living room and saw Kanae sitting down leisurely. Seeing the mess on the table, he nearly cursed the girl.

”What are you doing here?”

”I need a place to stay for the night, so I crash here.”

”I never say that you can come here?”

”Do you want me to sleep on the street, Brother Jason?”

Jason rubbed his forehead. It was not that he wanted her to sleep on the street, but he didn't want her to stay here and disturb his days. Moreover, couldn't see pick a better place?

”Come on, it's just for today, Brother Jason.”

”…Fine, just don't make a mess here.”

”You're the best, Brother Jason,” Kanae put her thumbs up.

Jason rolled his eyes. ”How do you come here? I'm sure that I already tell the guards not to let anyone in.”

”The security in your place is still a bit lax, Brother Jason. I can get in pretty easily.”

”I thought you said that you will stay away from me and Laura.”

”After today, yes,” Kanae leaned back on the sofa. ”No one knows that I came here today. I make sure that I erase my track properly.”

Feeling that he would only waste time to argue with Kanae, Jason sighed and sat down on the other sofa. If it was only one day, he didn't really mind having her stay here. Still, couldn't she just stay in her own mansion if it was only one day? It was not like Laura will come home tonight.

”What is your plan for the future, Brother Jason?”

Jason arched his eyebrows. ”I'll stay here and fortify my position as the young master of Wells family.”

”You have to be careful, Brother Jason. I'm sure that they might attack you too.”

”I know,” Jason's eyes glinted for a moment when he thought about that possibility. ”What about you? Have you decided what you're going to do after this?”

”I will attend Lima School.”

”Lima School?” Jason's eyes widened. He had heard about the girl's plan of getting back at the government. However, this was the very first time he heard about her attending the school. ”Are you serious? Getting inside means you'll be completely under their mercy.”

”I know,” Kanae replied calmly. She had thought about her decision over and over again. After knowing about the school being opened again, she knew that this would be the chance for her to know more about them. At the same time, it would also be the most dangerous place for her.

Jason looked at Kanae with bewilderment. ”Why are you so fixated on them? Even though their actions are inhuman, it doesn't have any direct effect on you, right?”

”Aren't you also trying to dig more about them, Brother Jason?” Kanae asked back. Her dark iris gazed back at Jason, seemingly able to see through the layer of his thoughts.

”I want to expose them and pull them to the court,” Jason nodded his head. ”But not at the cost of my own life.”

Kanae shifted her body position. ”You already bet your life for that in the past, Brother Jason.”

Jason opened his mouth but no words came out. How could he say that he didn't come there because of the government entirely but also because he wanted to protect Kanae? It would be the same as exposing his past feelings for her. A feeling that had changed to that of pure brother and sister now.

”For me, they're the one who's responsible for the attack that killed both of my parents,” Kanae said softly, her eyes sharpened at the thought of that day. ”I can't let them go.”

”Is it worth putting your life on the stake for revenge? Even if you win, they won't come back and you have a lot of people who care for you,” Jason asked hesitantly.

Kanae smiled. ”I know. At the very least, I can prevent a lot of people from losing their lives because of ridiculous experiments, can I?”

”I truly don't understand your thoughts, Kanae,” Jason stood up. ”I'll be resting in my room. You can sleep in the living room or the guest room. I'm sure that you don't want to sleep in the same room with me.”
