My Mute Bride

My Mute Bride 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.”

“In the bag?” Jason clenched his fists so hard that the veins on the back of his hands bulged. “An eye for an

eye, I say. We shouldn’t have kept this scourge alive in the first place. Any problem that wasn’t completely eliminated is bound to arise again.”

“You mean—”

Suddenly, there was a clatter from the stairwell as if something had fallen.

Jason’s face tensed up.

The assistant and the bodyguard were already yanking the stairwell door open before it immediately revealed a panicked Amber.

“You haven’t left?” Jason questioned.

She was ashen-faced as she clutched the banister while taking two steps back. “I didn’t hear anything, Jason. I’m leaving now.”

“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.

If she hadn’t manipulated Tina, Tina wouldn’t have been so careless as to do many foolish things that resulted in the falling out with the Hindenburg Family. Not to mention, Tina’s psychiatric state wouldn’t be in such disarray.
