Ever since Charles’ death, Tiffany had been detained and didn’t return home. Hence, Jocelyn was always alone at home.

When the rest of the Jadesons heard her, no one dared to comment.

Only Connor, who failed in his mission the last time, felt self-conscious about it. Feeling upset, he retorted, “The last time was an accident.”

“How can it be an accident? Obviously, the men you sent were incompetent. How can four men fail to assassinate a cripple? And yet, you still have the cheek to come up with an excuse?”

Jocelyn admonished him the moment she heard his protests.

Connor’s expression darkened. “If you’re so smart, why don’t you do it? Even Charles and Tiffany couldn’t kill him. So, why don’t you go ahead and try? Go on, be my guest!”

 

His words stung Jocelyn.

When Candice heard their exchange, she put a stop to it. “That’s enough! At such a crucial time, how is arguing going to solve anything?”

 

After being berated, both of them stopped arguing.

Over the last two days, the mood at Jade Court was somber. From Charles’ death to the failed assassination in the hospital, the entire household was mired in sorrow.

Now that Sebastian was discharged and brought home by Jonathan, their chances of plotting something new had significantly been reduced.
