Chapter 594 - Finding Clues of Their Whereabouts (1/2)

After Ivan had left the room, the elders walked out one by one. Many of them passed a glance at Jason as if they were telling him about how they viewed him. All along, they had underestimated the other party. No one knew that he would make such a big event in their family and gained firm hold on something so outrageous.

”Father, what is it that you want to talk about with us?” Jason asked after everyone had left.

Wells Family Head fixated his gaze on Jason, his only son. He had never taken care of the boy directly because he was busy. Wells Family was simply too big for him to care about an annoying young man. What he wanted all these years was a perfect successor to inherit his place and not a son, so it was him who made Jason like this after a long time.

”The matter regarding the offer from the government, you should just leave it to us,” he said coldly.

Jason didn't know why his father wanted to take care of the matter by himself. However, years of staying under his father taught him that it was better to not go against his father's will. Whatever his father wanted would be the law of the family. This was how the Wells Family managed to thrive all these years.

”I understand, Father,” Jason replied calmly.

Wells Family Head nodded his head. He looked at Laura. ”For your personal life, I won't meddle. But if you dare to scheme against Wells Family, I won't let you off.”

”I understand, Father.”

”The battle between you and Ivan should be handled by youngsters. I don't want you to involve other people from Wells Family into the meddlesome problem you two have created.”

”I understand, Father.”

”Now, leave me.”

”I understand, Father,” Jason bowed formally before taking Laura's hand and walked out of the room.

Wells Family Head watched as Jason left him with an indifferent expression. He had never tried to nurture a relationship with his son because he didn't want it. It would be better for the boy to learn how to stand by himself. He was merely a stranger in that boy's life, and it would never change.

Jason walked out of the hall solemnly. He knew that Ivan would not let the matter end here, so he had to be prepared for the worst. First of all, he needed to find all the records of his activities in Black Street to prepare for a valid argument against Ivan.

”Brother Jason,” Laura tugged Jason's clothes.

”What is it, Laura?”

”I just feel that your conversation with your father is strange. You two look like master and subordinate rather than father and son.”

Jason smiled wryly. If even an outsider saw it like that, then it must be crystal clear that their relationship was that bad. ”There's no need to worry so much. It's always like that, for him I'm nothing more than a 'successor'.”

Laura frowned when she heard what Jason said. Relationship like that was surely not something one desired. She tightened her grip on Jason's hand. At the very least, she would shower him with attention from herself. In the past few weeks, she had gotten even closer with Jason as she learned more about business and how to manage the large family. She would surely help him when it was his turn to have problems.

”It'll be a tough battle with Ivan, I might need your help.”

”I won't leave you.”

Seeing her stubborn stance, a smile made its way to Jason's lips. It was weird but having her by his side made him rather happy. Pulling the girl to his embrace, he lightly whispered on her ear. ”Thank you.”
