Chapter 139

Chapter 139

By the time Jason exited the morgue, his weather-beaten face was covered in wrinkles. His eyes were so bloodshot that their vessels looked like they were about to rupture in the next second.

As they both stood at the door, the assistant and the bodyguard fell silent, not daring to take a peep.

“Where is Justin?” Jason’s voice echoed down the hallway.

The assistant replied, “Young Master Justin should still be in Brookville discussing the project. The news | receive from there indicates that he has a high chance of winning this bid. It’s more or less already in the bag.”

“Didn’t hear anything’? Do you think I’ll believe that?”

“I really didn’t hear anything.”

“Stand there!”

As the cold words rang out, the bodyguard immediately understood what Jason meant and caught hold of her.

A frightened Amber screamed, but she was knocked out before she could call for help.

“Take her as a hostage.” Jason gave her a careless, disdainful glance.
