Chapter 529 Her Leaving (Part Two)


    Unable to hold the tears back as he thought of Jean and her hopes, Mond began crying in earnest.


    Mond crumpled in a ball, huddling himself, shuddering with sobs as he cried, with his head between his


    bent legs. All the sadness that had been pent up, pushed down for years and years came bursting out.


    A few dayster, dressed tastefully in ck, Mond exited the cemetery and got into his car. As he drove


    away, he made a silent promise, ''Although I left you here, and can''t be here all the time, I wille visit


    you regrly.''


    When he returned to the ZM Group building, Mond was as collected andposed as always, and he


    treated everyone indifferently.


    Sitting at his desk, Mond called the assistant and said,"Please,e here."


    "Yes Sir, President Mond," the assistant said politely.


    Within seconds there was a knock at his office door before the assistant opened it and stepped in.


    "Mr. Mond, how can I help you?" asked the professional and polished looking assistant. She met with


    the detached demeanor from Mond she was ustomed to.


    "Have you made any progress in the task of finding Sally that I assigned to you?" Mond had a


    murderous glint in his eye as he demanded. Whether in the name of Cherry or of Jean, Sally would pay


    for what she did.


    "Yes," his assistant nodded as she ced a slip of paper onto Mond''s table adding,"This is Sally''s


    residence now."


    "This is where Sally is living now?" echoed Mond.


    "Yes, it should still be her current address. She has been living there the past few weeks. I made


    arrangements for a security detail to watch her. At present, there''s been no change," the assistant


    reported. Having worked for Mond a while, she knew his expectations well, and did her best to


    thoroughly assist him with this problem.


    Jumping from his seat, Mond took the paper and grabbed his coat as he stormed out of the office.


    After leaving ZM Group, Mond sped along, following the directions his assistant provided him. Soon, he


    found himself at a nice, yet out of the way ce. He had arrived at the address written on the paper.


    Mond got out of his car and walked into the apartmentplex. When Mond reached the door


    scribbled on the paper, there was a fire burning in his eyes. He stood there regaining the tenuous grip


    he had on his fury and then jammed his finger to ring the bell.


    After waiting for a long time, the door slowly opened.


    Standing before Mond was Sally looking as though she expected Mond to be standing on the either


    side of the door. No surprise registered as she waved him in, casually weing him in,"Come in."


    Leaving the door open, Sally turned and walked further into the apartment with Mond following her.


    Sally stopped in front of French windows, her nonchnce enraged Mond and he rushed up behind


    her. He yanked Sally''s arm, pulling her back and into the corner. He hurried over and put his hands


    around her throat, choking her.


    "Why did you do it?" Mond demanded. His hands were strong, and he could feel her trying to gasp for


    breath, her pulse throbbing beneath his fingers. How easy it would be to choke the life from her, to take


    Sally''s life for Jean''s. Since it was Sally who had taken Jean''s life, it seemed right that Sally die as well.


    Sally didn''t resist. Mond stared in her ssy, dull looking eyes. He could see clearly Sally didn''t care


    what happened to her, there was no strength in her to resist.


    "Mond Xu, what Jean is to you? Who are you to seek retribution for her?" Sally spat giving Mond a


    contemptuous look. If Mond told her he doing it for Cherry, she would know Mond was in love with her.


    She already knew Mond gave up his thoughts of revenge because of how he felt about Cherry. But


    now? Mond had gone to great lengths to find her, and for what? For the sake of Jean''s death? Who


    was Jean? She was a mere woman who had many affairs with many men and didn''t deserve anyone''s


    pity. Why didn''t Cherry hate Jean? Why was Mond now treating her badly? How could it be over Jean''s


    death?


    "Sally, do you mean to tell me that your goal was to kill Jean?" Mond asked enraged as he red at


    Sally.


    As Sally stared up at Mond''s face, a twisted smile grew.


    "Oh-ho," Sallyughed, looking up at Mond''s eyes with hysteria and said,"The truth is that you are here


    for Cherry, isn''t it?" "Don''t you know why I am doing this?


    "Sally He, you are as mad as the mad hatter!" screamed Mond angrily.


    Something about being called mad made Sally snap back to semi-reality and she found her fire


    N?velDrama.Org is the owner.


    shouting back at him,"Yes! Yes, I am. I am totally off my rocker! I loved Jackson wildly for so many


    years, and what do I have for giving my blind devotion? I have nothing! That''s what I have! When we


    were younger, Jackson would hold my hand like a brother. Now though? Now, I can''t even get close to


    him. How could I stay sane?"


    Sally''s words struck a chord in Mond. He understood Sally''s feelings a little. There was no doubt in his


    mind how deeply she felt about Jackson, but how she went about things was not tolerable.


    Sally continued rambling,"Do you really believe that I aimed at hurting anyone else? Do you think it was


    my n that things happened the way they did? I did everything for Jackson, so he would care about


    me. I hoped that he would treat me the way he did five years ago, when he left everything behind,


    including Cherry, just to take care of me. I don''t care whether Cherry is his wife, I only want his love and


    attention, but, the reality turned out to bepletely opposite to what I expected! His heart is full of


    love for Cherry! She is everything to him, and he cares little for me."


    As she finished her tirade, tears poured from Sally''s eyes, streaming down her face.
