Chapter 1756 He Wouldn''t Be Able To Show Up


    After ck was done speaking, he checked his watch, and he shed it at Jason. With pursed lips, he


    said, "You''re running out of time!"


    "I can''t part with Holley," Jason said with resolution. But anyone could guess he was extremely scared.


    "Jason, think about it. If those usurers catch you again, what will they do to you? Have you ever


    considered that? You might be dumped into the ocean, and left to be eaten by the sharks," ck


    pressed Jason, leaving him no choice.


    After listening to those daunting words, Jason didn''t know what to say. He merely lowered his head and


    remained silent. ck squatted so that he could look into Jason''s eyes. He continued, "It is always


    better to look before you leap. Which is more important, your wife or your life?"


    Jason''s face turned dreary after he heard ck''s question.


    Out of the blue, something urred to him. ''How does ck know so much about me? Something is


    off the mark here!'' Jason thought curiously.


    This thought began to make Jason furious. He red at ck and yelled at him, "You bastard! I knew


    it! You asked that woman to seduce me, didn''t you?!"


    "Jason, you are acting very rashly!" ck replied with a mock-serious expression. ck wasn''t afraid


    of Jason, so he wouldn''t hide anything from him. If anything, he was proud to be exposed.


    "You…"


    Jason lost control. He clenched his fists, ready to hit ck. But ck was quicker than him. Before


    Jason could do anything, ck''s subordinates had grabbed Jason''s arms. Now he was made to kneel


    on the ground. With their firm grasp, Jason couldn''t move an inch. In this helpless state, he continued


    to re at ck.


    "You don''t have much time now. Have you made up your mind? I''m counting to three. If I don''t get an


    answer, I''m leaving." ck shed him a cold nce. Before Jason could say anything, ck began


    counting.


    "One, two, three."


    "Fine, I quit. I promise I will leave Holley. But you have to give me some money. I will need it to


    abscond." Jason was afraid that ck would hand him over to the usurers, so he gave a prompt reply.


    Moreover, Jason knew Ferry well. He hated gamblers more than anyone else. He especially loathed


    those who borrowed money from usurers. If Ferry found out that Jason had borrowed money from


    usurers, his life wouldn''t be spared.


    But now that he had got himself in trouble, he had no choice but to ept ck''s offer. In this dire


    situation, he knew this was the best option for him.


    "Great, that sounds like a wise decision. Here is one million. Take this money and get the hell out of


    here. I don''t want to see you ever again. You know what I am capable of, so don''t try to act smart. Do


    you understand?"


    ck said and threw the cheque at Jason.


    Dumbfounded, Jason looked at ck in disbelief. "Mr. Hu, are you kidding me? I am aware youe


    from a wealthy family. I also know you love Holley dearly. One million won''t be enough. Is that how little


    Holley means to you?"


    Jason was very disappointed with what ck had offered. He was going to abscond. And in this


    journey, one million wouldn''t be enough to support him. He wouldn''t even be able to get out of this city


    with that amount.


    But ck couldn''t care less about Jason''s distress. He took a cigarette out of his pocket and said,


    "Jason, I spent 10 million to save you. Did you forget that? I am being very generous to you. If you


    think it''s too little, fine, I advise you to leave with nothing."


    Although ck was asking Jason to leave, he had clearly gained the upper hand. And he didn''t care


    whether Jason would listen to him and leave. If his offer was declined, ck was more than ready to


    kill Jason.


    Jasonposed himself as he could tell from ck''s face that he was serious. He knew he couldn''t


    ask for more from ck. Even though one million wasn''t enough for him, he told himself that something


    was better than nothing.


    "Fine, I will take it. But you need to ask your people to see me off!"


    This was thest thing Jason wanted from ck. In his mind, he had finally epted his defeat.


    "No problem," replied ck looking satisfied with his victory. It was like lifting a finger for ck, so he


    agreed without any hesitation.


    ck then gestured to one of his subordinates and said to him, "See him off!"


    "Yes, Mr. Hu."


    The subordinate took Jason away and left.


    Since his job was done, ck was so ted. As soon as Jason was out of his sight, he headed to the


    Civil Affairs Bureau.


    In Holley''s home, she was turning and tossing on her bed.


    Just when she was about to sleep, her phone rang. Jason kept on calling herst night, so she couldn''t


    fall asleep at all. She had to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau today; hence, it would be necessary to


    sacrifice sleep.


    For a second, Holley thought Jason''s call had just been a dream. But when she checked her phone,


    she realized he had indeed called her and asked for money. Her mind was aplete mess.


    ''Why would Jason owe someone money? Isn''t he working for Ferry? Who would dare to threaten


    Jason?''


    Holley thought to herself, confused. But then she decided to shake it off.


    She already had a lot on her te, and Jason was thest thing she needed to worry about. Just the


    mere thought of marrying Jason made her feel awful.


    Holley went to the bathroom to wash her face and brush her teeth. She looked at herself in the mirror.


    For a while, she stood there and then noticed how pale she looked. Thinking about Jason, the Civil


    Affairs Bureau, and this marriage put her into a sour mood. Sometimes, she really wanted to grab a


    knife and stab Ferry, even though it meant that she would go to jail.


    ''Am I going to spend the rest of my life being Ferry''s puppet?'' she thought with sadness.


    A bitter smile crept on her face. She wondered how she ended up like this.


    All her life, all that she had dreamed of was marrying a rich man. Her goal was to live a luxurious life.


    But somehow now she was destined to marry a loser. "How ironic!" she mumbled with agony.


    Now that she had unleashed her emotions, there was no going back. She lost it and began to cry.


    Tears started rolling down her soft cheeks. Quickly, she grabbed a tissue and wiped the tears off from


    her face. After taking a deep breath, she took her purse and left.


    Shortly, she started her journey to the Civil Affairs Bureau.


    When Holley got out of her car and walked towards the bureau, she saw someone who she hadn''t


    expected to see at all.


    This is property ? of N?velDrama.Org.


    ''ck?


    Why is he here?''


    Holley freaked out. She thought today was the toughest day she had ever had. And thest thing she


    wanted was to see ck in this embarrassing moment. Wracking her brain, she started to think of a


    way to escape this meeting.


    After thinking about it, Holley realized with certainty that ck must know that she and Jason were


    getting married.


    Feeling defeated, she stood there. After all, there wasn''t much she could do about it. ''Perhaps, after


    seeing me get married to another man, ck might finally lose faith in me. Let him move on, '' she


    thought with a sigh.


    "Holley!" Holly was lost in thought when ck called her name.


    "Why are you here?" Holley forced a smile.


    "Are you waiting for someone?" ck looked into Holley''s eyes and asked seriously.


    Holley nodded her head and said, "I''m waiting for Jason. I am getting married to him today."


    "Getting married to him?" ck smiled coldly and said, "I''m afraid that he won''t be able to show up


    today."
