Chapter 51 - Fleeting Happiness (2/2)

”And where do you think you're going?”

Jasper sighed and turned to face him. He had no other choice anyway. ”Dad.”

”Where's Aiko? Shouldn't she be with you right now?”

”Should she?” Jasper raised a brow, not pleased with his father's words; but he didn't dare to delve deep into what his father wanted from him.

His father heard his nonchalant response and frowned.

”It was me who asked Aiko to invite that woman so your feelings for her could die completely. I will not allow you to continue this nonsense.”

Jasper was surprised.

”That woman has a name, Dad,” he hissed back. ”And don't play innocent; I know that you were the one who sent Aiko to drug me so I would sleep with her.”

Disappointed with his son's reaction, the old man shook his head.

”There are many women in this world that deserve you, but Luna Jiang isn't one of them.”

”And you think a woman like Aiko Chen is someone I deserve, Dad? If she could stab her own friend in the back just to seduce me, I wonder if she'll kill me as I sleep to get the wealth of the Mo family,” Jasper countered back, catching his father off-guard.

The old man refused to back down although what Jasper said made sense. Would he really allow someone like Aiko Chen to enter his household?

”Son, I have always known what you want since you were a kid, but you should also know the limit and how to strive to reach your goal with a few losses. You don't need to throw everything for the sake of one woman.”

His words sounded reasonable, but Jasper couldn't agree to it. Because for him, throwing everything for her sake would be worth it. Luna Jiang was someone he wanted in his life that wasn't imposed on him by his own family. She wasn't some random woman that he could ignore.

Before he was able to answer his father, the staff earlier came back and looked nervously at the father and son. As Chairman Mo glared at his son, he wasn't sure if this was the right time to interrupt them. With hesitation, he decided to remind his boss of his purpose.

”Chairman Mo, President Li is looking for you.”

The old man scowled and knitted his brows, making the wrinkles on his face more prominent. The aloof President of Li Group wanted to see him now?

”Hero Li? What does he want now?” he grumbled.
