Chapter 1141 Face Off
Seeing Mason’s reaction, Sean thought he would want to go personally. However, just as Sean was about to speak up, Mason sat up from the bed and walked toward the washroom expressionlessly. At the same time, he mumbled coldly, “That’s not necessary.”
“Alright.”
After closing the washroom door, Mason couldn’t hold his feelings inside anymore as he looked at himself in the mirror with his red-rimmed eyes. He had already used up all his courage to make the rejection just now.
Frankly, he really wanted to go, but at the same time, he didn’t wish to see her self-sufficient expression. He was exhausted after being let down again and again. He had encountered too much disappointment when it came to Janet, and he wasn’t sure if he could still continue this relationship with her just like before.
After quite some time, Mason walked out of the washroom, took up his phone from the bed and said, “Pick me up 10 minutes later and summon along Black Python and the others.”
…
Meanwhile, at Fuller Corporation, the receptionist opened the president’s office’s door with a shocked look and said, “President Fuller, there’s a Miss Jackson out there asking to see you. Should I—”
Before the receptionist could finish her sentence, Sheldon waved his hand and said, “Let her in.” What’s coming will come. There’s no use avoiding it.
“Conveying the message isn’t necessary.” Just then, a cold, indifferent female voice emerged from the outside.
Janet kicked open the office door and strutted in with a few men following behind her.
Sheldon’s pupils dilated the moment he saw Janet. Nevertheless, he concealed his astonishment and agitation perfectly and said courteously, “Please take a seat.”
With her hands in her pockets, Janet walked straight up to the table, stared at Sheldon and said coldly, “I’m not here to have a chat with you!”
Then, her voice became even lower and bone-chilling. “Tell me—where on earth is Corey?”
Sheldon lifted his head to meet Janet’s eyes. “Please take a seat first, Miss Jackson.”
This time around, Janet did not reject him, but walked straight to the couch and sat down with her legs crossed. She then asked in a haughty look, “Can you tell me now?”
Sheldon took a deep breath and explained, “Miss Jackson, we’re really not certain about the exact location of Corey. In the past, Melissa was the one that liaised with him, so I’ve never met him once.”
Janet raised her brows and turned her head lazily toward Sheldon. “Is it because you’re afraid to get into trouble? Do you really fear Corey that much?”
Initially, only Sheldon and Melissa knew Corey’s whereabouts. Now that Melissa had died and Corey’s location was exposed, it must naturally be Sheldon who had exposed it. As such, Sheldon couldn’t possibly pretend to be clueless in order to avoid trouble. However, all the capital used to develop the virus was contributed by Fuller Corporation, so of course, Sheldon had the obligation to answer Janet regarding Corey’s location.
Sheldon denied, “No. I wish to stop him from using the virus more than anyone else, but I really don’t know where he is! Why are you so bothered by this matter, Miss Jackson?”
Hearing his answer, Janet narrowed her eyes as the coldness on her face became more intense. She answered frigidly, “Do you know why Corey would give up his life as a president in Markovia and flee to Yobril? It’s because he has offended me. If my guess is right, Corey had Melissa develop this virus so that he can use it against me.”
Sheldon was astonished to hear that. “Use it against you?”
“That’s right. Otherwise, why would he come all the way to this place of yours? Do you really think he has nothing better to do?”
Janet had already tried her best to control her emotions but still failed to do it adequately. There were many times she actually wanted to point a gun at Sheldon’s head.
At this moment, a sweet yet raspy female voice came forth from outside the office. “Janet Jackson, who are you to yell at my brother? Who do you think you are to be this fierce?”
It was Hazel, who initially came over to understand the story of Melissa’s death. However, little did she expect she’d bump into Janet here.
At that moment, Janet even had one of her feet placed on Sheldon’s table.
