Unfinished Business with You novel

Chapter 1498 Joseph’s Savior

Joseph also felt that he was not a good person, but he felt even worse, especially when he saw the sarcastic smile at the corner of Jewel's lips.

Normally, he was not a soft-hearted person. No matter who offended him, he could kill them without hesitation.

But Jewel was different.

He couldn't pinpoint exactly what was different about her.

Even if Jewel never returned, she was still related to the deaths of Blood Rose and Phantom.

However, she didn't cause Madison's condition but had to bear such pain. In this regard, he did owe her an apology.

He could release her, though.

As long as she could get through this, he would release her.

Therefore, it wasn't that he felt sorry for her but because he couldn't bear to hurt an innocent woman's heart.

He looked at her and continued, "Six years ago, I had a big fight with Jonathan because he secretly promised to let Olivia and George go. When the argument intensified, he slapped me. We have always relied on each other since we were young, and he is not just a brother to me but more like a parent. He has never hit or scolded me before. I couldn't accept it back then, so I took two bottles of white wine with me and went to the mountains alone, wanting to drown my sorrows in alcohol.

I drank too much and fell asleep leaning against a big tree. When I woke up, I felt immense pain. It turned out that a snake bit me, but it was late at night, and in a daze, I saw a woman helping me bandage the wound on my leg. I wanted to ask her name, but she hurriedly left after helping me bandage my injury. When I came back, I searched everywhere for that person. At first, I thought that person was you because I remember she had short hair. Later, I discovered it wasn't you but my current girlfriend. If it wasn't for her timely help in saving me, it might have been me who died. I owe her a life and a child, Jewel. Perhaps this is the price you have to pay for betraying me."

After speaking, he stood up and left the prison cell without looking back.

Jewel, who was crawling on the ground, suddenly burst into laughter. "Hahaha... Hahaha..."

Using her last bit of strength, she staggered to her feet and rushed toward the door. She reached out her hand through the iron bars and shouted, "Joseph, don't go. Let me out, you ungrateful person."

Joseph paused for a moment, then continued to walk away without looking back. He hurriedly left as if he was escaping.

Several bodyguards saw Joseph walking far away and were worried that this woman would anger him, so they mercilessly used sticks to hit Jewel's hand that was reaching out through the iron bars.

"Shut up! Shut up! Stop shouting."
