My Mute Bride

Chapter 387 We Are the Same

In Riverdale Penitentiary. “You don’t seem surprised at all.” Across a vacuum glass, Julian held the phone and looked at the man over the glass.

The man was in his fifties, and his sideburns were completely white. He looked like a man in his seventies, and he no longer had the same high-spirited energy as before.

Jason stared at Julian for a long time before he spoke, “Murderers like to go back to the crime scene and watch the follow-up development after killing the person. You, too, are similar to them.”

“Are you comparing me to a murderer?”

“Aren’t you? You killed me!”

Julian snorted when he heard that, “It was your own evil thoughts and greed that killed you.”

Surprisingly, Jason was calm. He continued to look at Julian as if he wanted to engrave his look in his dim eyes.

“Actually, we are the same like father, like son. You and I, we both wanted power, wealth, admiration, and respect. We wanted to step on others. The only difference is that you pretend like you don’t want it, while I never hide the fact that I want it.”

Julian furrowed his brows slightly when he heard this outrageous claim.

“Why exactly did you ask to see me?”

Jason was sentenced to be executed, and the day for his execution was tomorrow. However, prisoners had the right to see their relatives and friends before the execution. This was a favor granted by the law.

Of course, Julian could have chosen not to come. However, he still came.

Eventually, Jason restrained his scrutinizing gaze on Julian a little. “Tina is still abroad, and I hope you can take care of her.”

Julian remained silent. He did not say yes, nor did he say no.

“How’s your mother? Seeing as she did not visit me for so long, she must blame me.”

“She’s abroad.”

Jason was slightly startled. Then, he looked at Julian again and actually complimented him. “You’ve done a good job! To achieve great success is to put aside all feelings and relationships, even if it is family. You are better than me in this aspect!”

“Are you done?” Julian felt a little impatient. Then, he raised his wrist and glanced at his watch. “I’m busy.”
