Chapter 1558
“It’s so unfair!” Lucia cried out, burying her face in Hunt’s chest. “Why is it that Wayne and Rosalynn, who’ve screwed up so many times, always get a second chance? Yet my daughter Heatherway, who only made a few small mistakes, has had to pay such a high price?” Hunt felt bad for his wife.
He had been with Lucia for several years.
He spent every day trying to keep her happy, hoping that her mental and physical health would improve.
But despite his best efforts, Lucia had been wilting away ever since Heatherway’s death six months ago.
No matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t stop her decline.
“I’m so useless. If only I were stronger, stronger than Wayne and the Jared Group, then you wouldn’t have to suffer like this.” Hunt blamed himself.
Because, at the end of the day, he just wasn’t powerful enough.
If he had been, the heir of the Jared Group wouldn’t dare to strut around in front of him.
Rosalynn didn’t even take him seriously!
But…did he look like a pushover to her?
These young folks, all full of beans, looked down on him. They thought he couldn’t survive without the Jared Group!
This time, even if it wasn’t just for Lucia. He also wanted to show this cocky youngster who he really was overseas.
“Lucia, don’t cry.” Hunt wiped away Lucia’s tears. “No one can take you away from me. So what if we cut ties with the Jared Group? I’ve been preparing for this, trust me, I’ve got this covered!”
Lucia started to choke up again.
“Cinboa is still so young. It’s because she’s the best assassin that I had the idea of asking her to kill Rosalynn. If I knew she would get caught, I would never have let her go!”
“You’re Cinboa’s master, your command is her law. Don’t beat yourself up, don’t take on this pressure! If it wasn’t for you choosing Cinboa, having her by your side, she could’ve died a long time ago on some mission, ending up in God knows where.” Hunt comforted in a gentle tone.
Lucia didn’t respond, her face still a mask of sorrow.
Lucia asked, “Are you really going to cut ties with the Jared Group? I heard that when you came back, the chaos within the group was settled by Hilaria… does this mean she has some influence?”
“Influence?” Hunt scoffed, “Think about it, that was like forty years ago. The tech back then compared to now is chalk and cheese. Hilaria had a big business, and we remote places naturally needed her help. But now, she’s old and weak, and my territory is not what it used to be. People call her President Jared out of courtesy. If it really came to blows, not many people would stand with an old
woman!”
Hunt wasn’t just comforting Lucia.
Ever since the news of Heatherway’s death broke out, Lucia had a hunch that Hunt cutting ties with the Jared Group was just a matter of
time.
So, she started to dig a little deeper.
