“Verian... I don't know what to do now... I... I really let you down back then..."
After speaking, Jensen's voice on the phone cracked as he broke down in tears. After staying in a daze for a few seconds, Verian heard a loud soughing sound coming from his side. She frowned and asked, "Where are you?"
"I'm sitting by Sona Lake."
"..."
Did Jensen really want to jump into the lake to commit suicide?
Although Verian's relationship with him had come to an end, it did not mean that she was impervious to his misfortune.
She did hate him back then, but she hated the Sheen family’s mother and daughter duo more. Last time, she made a big fuss at Jensen and Wanelle’s wedding. Now that Jensen had failed to marry Wanelle, the Jacob family had become so downtrodden. Her resentment with Jensen was now considered even. Now, she would not say that she had hatred left for Jensen.
"Verian... I really want to die now... If I wasn’t so obsessed back then, we wouldn’t have ended up like this. Maybe the Jacob family would not be in this situation... I'm sorry... Verian, I'm really sorry."
"Don't be impulsive. If you die, what will your family do?"
"The Jacob family will go bankrupt. I have nothing left..."
Jensen's words stopped abruptly and the call was terminated. When Verian called back, the call was unreachable.
Verian's heart thudded. Would Jensen really commit suicide by throwing himself into the lake?!
It just so happened that it was time to get off work. She packed her bags and hurried out of the office.
After getting out of the elevator and walking out of the Fudd Group Building, she ran into a car driven by Heaton in the underground parking lot.
The black Spyker steadily stopped in front of her, blocking her way.
The window was rolled down and Heaton, who was inside the car, said coldly, "Get in the car."
They were still having a quarrel and she was going to find Jensen. If Heaton knew about it, he would not let her go. Thus, Verian refused right away. "I have some affairs. I'll take a taxi back."
Verian thought that this was a serious case that involved a human life, so she quickly got into a taxi at the roadside.
"Sir, bring me to Sona Lake."
In the black Spyker, Zander Lucas, who was sitting in the front passenger seat, used his long finger to push the gold-framed glasses up his nose bridge. He stared at Verian's back as it left hurriedly and playfully teased Heaton, "Maybe this little lion in your family is rushing to see another man? She totally ignored you. It's rare for our President Fudd to be snubbed despite showing good intentions."
Lucas felt very pleasant after teasing him. As he enjoyed himself, the man's thin lips coldly spat out four words, "Get out the car."
"Ah?"
Lucas turned his head abruptly and looked at Heaton. "Old Fudd, are you serious? I can't even joke about you now?"
Heaton's facial expression looked cold. He did not seem to have the willingness to answer him. With a helpless expression, Lucas got out of the car.
As soon as he got out of the car, the black Spyker drove away and blew dust at his face.
Lucas spat a few times. "Pooh! I can ignore Jinn Shayne becoming a henpecked man. Now, even Heaton seems to have a spell cast on him!"
...
When Verian rushed to Sona Lake, she found that Jensen was still sitting on a bench by the lake. She was totally relieved.
She walked over, frowning as she scolded him, "Jensen, are you sick? If you really want to die, don’t call me! Just go into the lake! I've never seen a person who really wants to commit suicide have so much nonsense to say before his death!"
When Jensen saw her, he got up and hugged her excitedly. "Verian, you actually still care about me, right? If you didn’t care about me, you wouldn’t have rushed over in such a hurry, worrying that I suicided in despair. Verian, can we start afresh?"
Jensen's emotions were too agitated and he held Verian tightly. Verian was frightened for a while. Then, she stretched out her hand to push him hard. "Are you mad? I just didn’t want to be the last person you called before you died! I'll be the number one suspect when the police investigate this!"
Jensen must have been tortured by Wanelle until he turned insane. He wanted to start afresh with her?
