I Am Unstoppable

Chapter 282

In fact, Jonathan was not a narrow-minded person. He usually didn't hold grudges. He really saw Mabel as his friend and confidante. Thus, he felt genuine disappointment this time.

Anyhow, Jonathan decided to keep his feelings to himself.

He always believed that one should help others out of sincerity and not out of obligation.

It seemed a bit melodramatic if he talked to Mabel about this matter.

Jonathan stood there in a trance while holding the phone before he thought of Jennifer.

He knew he should feel sorry for Jennifer.

Thus, he decided to call her.

The call went through quickly.

Jonathan said, “Jennifer, it's me.”

Jennifer tried her best to suppress the joy. “Jonathan, are you all right?”

Jonathan replied, “I'm fine.”

Jennifer breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing that. Then, for a brief moment, she didn't know what to say next.

“How are things with you?” Jennifer tried to fill the silence.

Jonathan took in a deep breath and said, “Thank you, Jennifer.”

Jennifer smiled. “It's your dividend, anyway. There's no need to thank me for that.”

Jonathan said, “I will visit you and Winnie at Horington after I finish my matter here.”

“Really?” Jennifer was overjoyed.

Jonathan chuckled. “For real. I'm starting to miss Winnie too.”

Jennifer said, “I'll take your word for it then.”

Jonathan responded, “It's a deal!”

They chatted for a little longer before ending the call.

Just then, Jonathan's phone rang again.

He looked at the caller ID and realized the caller was Mabel.

Jonathan wasn't too keen on picking it up, so he let the phone ring for another minute.

However, it seemed that Mabel was persistent and kept calling.

In the end, Jonathan relented and answered the phone. As soon as the call was connected, he said, “Sorry, I was in the shower.”


Mabel let out a bitter laugh. “Stop lying. I know what you're thinking.”

A wry smile played across Jonathan's lips.

Mabel said, “Let's meet up. I'll find you in Willowbank.”

Jonathan responded, “All right.” He was thinking of having a face-to-face talk with Mabel too.

With that, both of them agreed to a meet-up location. Mabel said, “Wait for me.” Then, she hung up the phone.

Jonathan found his mind to be slightly more at ease now.

Just then, the door was pushed open, and the smell of freshly-cooked pasta wafted through the air.

Jonathan turned around and saw Monroe holding a bowl of mac and cheese.

“Mr. Lawson, here you go.” Monroe smiled ostentatiously and added, “I also made you two sunny eggs.”

“Thank you,” Jonathan responded.

Then, he took the bowl and delved into the food.

The dish was delicious, and Jonathan had a hearty appetite.

After eating, Jonathan sat cross-legged.

Then, he started practicing Ultra Sun Moon Mantra to cleanse the impurities within his body and cultivate his strength.

He continued the training for the next three hours or so.

It was already seven in the evening when he finished cultivating.

The night arrived, and the lights lit up throughout Willowbank.

Jonathan got up and left the room. Meanwhile, Monroe was watching TV in the living room.

Oh my, he's watching Bold and the Beautiful!

“Mr. Lawson, are you going out?” Monroe asked when he saw Jonathan.

The latter let out a faint smile and said, “I'm leaving. Take care of yourself.”

“I'll see you out,” Monroe hurriedly said.

“It's all right,” Jonathan replied with a smile.

With that, he left Monroe's house.

Monroe was dumbfounded. Everything that happened that day was like a dream to him.

A dream that seemed somehow surreal and legendary.

Naturally, Jonathan did not bother what Monroe had been thinking. After he left the building, he went straight away to Starlet Hotel.

Mabel was waiting for him there.

Half an hour later, both of them met on the top floor of Starlet Hotel.

It was very quiet on the top floor.

A private jet was parked at the other side of the floor.

Usually, that area functioned as a rooftop bar. The place would be filled with guests for a drink on a summer night.

However, since the night was freezing cold in this season, there weren't many customers.

Mabel was wearing a thick black coat and a pair of sunglasses. She had taken her seat, and there was a bottle of champagne on the table.

Jonathan arrived and sat opposite to Mabel.

She proceeded to fill the glasses with champagne.

Jonathan took one of the glasses and smiled. “It's a great honor to have alcohol personally served by Chief Sandler.”

His casual tease sounded like it was insinuating something.

Mabel also picked up the wine glass and took a sip of champagne. Then, she smiled and said, “I'm sure you don't find this matter the slightest bit unusual at all.”

Jonathan said, “Actually, I don't hold many thoughts about this. Never once did I think that you owe me any favor. I regard you as my best confidant and friend. If we were to really settle the scores, I know very well that I actually owe you my life. If it weren't for you, I would be long dead.”

Mabel took a sip of the champagne again.

One did not need to voice out one's thoughts word by word for the other to understand. She composed herself before saying, “I can say what I want to say on the phone. But I flew here for three hours today because I also regard you as my best confidant and friend. I have little friends, and you count as one.”

Jonathan finished his glass of champagne in one gulp and said, “Go ahead.”

Mabel stated, “I didn't know you were missing. I've been investigating a rather peculiar incident that happened in Yaleview recently. I didn't know that you had an accident until you called me.”

“What's so peculiar about it?” Jonathan felt relieved for a moment. He believed Mabel's words. But now, he was more curious about what had happened in Yaleview.
