Her Majesty novel Chapter 41

Jacob Jiang's face darkened and he kept his mouth shut.

I finally understood these two men were not here to have a talk. They wanted to deal with Mayor Chang in the name of me. I was just an excuse or a pawn for them.

My mind quickly weighed the pros and cons. If Jacob pursued Ben’s identity, the project would be doomed, and now Housin had Jacob on his back. If we sue him, it could not be succeed, but it was a dilemma for Mayor Chang. He did not want to confront with Jacob Jiang too.

So when the two sides are deadlocked, I coughed gently and said, “I admit that what Mr. Jiang said was true. I was childish, didn't understand respect you. If there is anything I offended you, I hope you can give me a chance to correct mistakes, please."

I bowed deeply, and all eyes fell on me. Mayor Chang smiled, and Jacob Jiang's face softened a little. Only John looked as if he wanted to give me a beating.

Mayor Chang nodded and said, “Well, now Justin has showed his attitude, John, it is your turn."

John rolled his eyes and said coldly, “Just an apology? Tell me about my son first!"

Mentioning Housin, I thought of the dead Grace, my face distorted. I was breathing heavily. If I forgave Housin, I would be guilty to Grace!

The room was silent as everyone waited for my answer, and in those few seconds I felt like I had walked through hell, my soul burnt to ashes by the flames of hell.

I slowly raised my head to have a vacant look at the three people present. Jiang brothers were sneering. Mayor Chang's eyes were full of anticipation.

Looking at him, I slowly return to the soul, I deeply drew a breath, and lightly said, “I will not pursue it in the future."

The two brothers finally showed a satisfied smile. Jacob Jiang turned his head and asked the mayor, "What do you say, Mayer Chang?"

Mayor Chang said coldly, “Since Justin will not pursue, I will release him tomorrow. What do you say about the business district?"

"Oh, well, I think Justin is very good. The grapevine news is all false. He will take this project, and I am very relieved." said Jacob Jiang lightly.

"Well, now that everything is settled, let's have a glass of wine and reunite. Justin, give everyone a toast." Mayor Chang said lightly.

"Yes, Mayor Chang." I said with a numb face, and went over to fill the four glasses on the table with wine. No one knew my humiliation and pain.

This was an interest exchange. I used the death of Grace traded the future for me and Ben. I was a bastard.

As if aware of my abnormal situation, Mayor Chang picked up his wine glass and patted me gently on the shoulder. "Young man," he said, "You can't take a step back from the sky before standing the calm for a while. Take it easy.”

With a slight nod, I bumped into Mayor Chang's glass and emptied it with a tilt of my neck.

I felt a little crazy like being stabbed at my chest and didn’t bother about disguise.

I poured myself a glass of wine and raised my glass to Jacob Jiang, saying, "Mayor Jiang, thank you for showing mercy to me and my friend. I will repay you later for your kindness."

Then, before he could speak, I drank up the wine.

Jacob Jiang's face shook twice. Slowly he put down the wine cup in his hand, and then looked at me coldly.

Mayor Chang walked quickly up to me, pulled me up and said, "Justin, don't do that."

My eyes gushed tears and I said in rough voice, “Grace was my girlfriend, who was killed by Housin in humiliation. I would rather put down this hatred for the overall situation now, what else should I do?”

Mayor Chang sighed and withdrew to one side.

Jacob Jiang stared at me for a while without speaking. He swallowed most of the wine in one mouthful.

I poured him a glass of wine, walked to John, stared at him with red eyes, and said, “You framed me three times. My girlfriend was killed by your son, you kidnapped Amanda, and even asked a person driving a car to kill me just now. But I don't care about it. I am not afraid of you, I don't want to made difficulties to the mayor. From now on, we have nothing to do with each other.

And I emptied the glass in one gulp.

John’s expression changed, he repeatedly shouted, “Nonsense, nonsense! Who kidnapped Amanda, who hit you by car? You had no any evidence. Don’t you be afraid that I will sue you for slander?"

At this time Jacob Jiang spoke, spit out a word coldly, “Drink it!"

As soon as he spoke, John did not dare to speak any more. He reluctantly raised his glass in front of him and took a sip.

"Well, that's settled. What is done is done, and the future is out of my hands. You can fight if you want to, but if there's any more bloodshed, I won't give anyone the credit for it." shouted Mayor Chang.

On hearing this, John lowered his head deeply and did not dare to look into Mayor Chang's eyes.

Seeing that he was overawed, Mayor Chang turned his head again and asked Jacob Jiang, "Jacob, what do you say?"

Jacob Jiang said coldly, “In future you do business by your means. That we two intervened in these things have already violated the rules. I think we two should leave it alone."

Mayor Chang nodded and said, "Well, that is it."

Jiang brother left first, Mayor Chang patted my shoulder, did not say anything and left.

I was the only one standing there like a fool, still not awake from the stimulation just now. At the thought that I had just agreed to release Housin, I felt very sick, could not help but grab the bottle on the table and drank.

I really wanted to get drunk so I won't have to suffer so much.

I staggered out of the hotel, Sabina standing outside immediately helped me get in the car, and then silently drove the car, without saying anything.

I sat beside her chattering babble, probably I was scolding myself.

The heart of Sabina seemed to be made of stone. She was quietly listening and did not offer me a comfort word.

I could not help being a little angry. The alcohol made me forget her horror, and suddenly I threw my arms around her neck and kissed her on the lips.
