Chapter 1249: Chapter 1246
“She…”
Wesley Wright’s face showed some embarrassment, then he said, “We’ve tightened security recently, we absolutely cannot give Yamaguchi-gumi and that traitor any opportunity to exploit.”
“If the Federal Bureau of Investigation only sent an Ellie Will, that’s hardly terrifying.”
What actually made him afraid?
It was the Federal Bureau of Investigation behind Ellie Will!
And not just an Ellie Will!
“Hey!”
A group of company executives immediately nodded!
After Wesley Wright announced the meeting was adjourned, he immediately headed towards the Ice Prison. When he saw Jessica Wright covered in white frost…
He frowned!
Clearly, Jessica Wright had heard his footsteps, yet remained still. To her, being alive or dead no longer mattered.
Being alive, she couldn’t stay by her senior brother’s side anymore, let alone be with him, so what was the point?
If she died, at least she wouldn’t have to endure the torment of longing.
The one thing she regretted was having to wither away in this cold prison cell rather than dying at the hand of her beloved.
Such was her regret.
She sat cross-legged on the ground, allowing the frost to invade her body.
Even neglecting to gather her inner ‘Qi’ for warmth!
Her attitude was clear enough!
And the food at the door remained untouched!
After seeing all this, Wesley Wright stood in front of the Ice Prison, looking down from a high position at Jessica Wright sitting on the ice, and said coldly, “Why be so stubborn?”
“I am your father. Is admitting your fault to me really that difficult for you to say?”
Between them, rather than father and daughter, it was more like they were superior and subordinate.
That’s why Jessica Wright felt no sense of belonging to the company. She then slightly parted her lips and posed a soul-searching question, “Do we still have the affections of a father and daughter between us?”
“You should know that in my heart, Uncle De was an elder, yet you still ignored my pleas and even injured him severely and expelled him from the company right in front of me, leaving him to fend for himself!”
“Have you truly considered my feelings?”
Her tone was colder than the surrounding ice!
In other words, with the eruption of the Lucas Davis incident, the already fragile bond between them had reached its end.
“Have you ever considered my position?”
Wesley Wright, suppressing the anger in his heart, calmly sat down on the ice surface: “As the head of the family, when even a slave dares to talk back to me, do you think I can let him off?”
Jessica Wright shook her head slightly: “But you’ve forgotten, it was he who taught me my skills, not you!”
“You also forget, he has risked his life for the company so many times over the years and been injured countless times!”
In this confrontation, she would not admit defeat, nor would she bow her head!
In fact, some things, once seen through, lose their power to intimidate!
Like death, is it really that terrifying?
Why then does she still long for it?
Perhaps because death also signifies a rebirth!
In this life, she had been abandoned by the heavens!
In the next life, she wished for a better one!
“Enough!”
Wesley Wright, emotionally incensed, sharply scolded: “Don’t use the nonsense you learned abroad to lecture me!”
“They’re just a bunch of stupid children who grew up abroad, what’s this nonsense about Confucian doctrines?”
“Merely a group of hypocrites who spout benevolence and morality with one breath, and clam up the next!”
“If I were kind and righteous, who would reciprocate?”
“This is survival!”
“Under the Laws of survival of the fittest, I cannot afford to be kind and righteous!”
“Look at your Uncle Wesley Wright, and then at the Federal Bureau of Investigation who boldly tore up our cooperation—are my efforts towards them not the very definition of generosity and righteousness?”
