“Jay, no!” Grace said as she fought back the pain from the continued blood loss.
However, Jason had already raised his hands and started to unbutton his shirt. One, two… He continued to unbutton them until he pulled the shirt off to reveal the thin undershirt underneath.
There was silence as if nothing else could be heard except for the sound of the helicopters’ propellers overhead and the movement of air.
Jason’s subordinates looked at their boss as he took off his shirt. He was beginning to unbuckle the belt around his waist.
“Jay, stop… Stop it! She’s just… just fooling you… She’s not really…” Grace said with difficulty.
Jason’s belt was now off.
“We won’t know if it’s true until Young master Reed does what I ask of him. Grace, I envy you. Look, Jason is willing to go so far for you!” Katherine Jackson said grimly with undisguised jealousy in her voice.
Why would a man like Jason go this far for Grace? Few men could bear the indignity of being naked in front of their subordinates.
Jason was so powerful too!
Katherine Jackson was feeling smug. Now that tMason Swansonty’s most powerful and wealthy man had to obey her orders, it was as if she already had tMason Swansonty under her feet.
However, she felt sad at the same time. Why was Jason and Hadwin Stephenson willing to humiliate themselves for women, yet she could not even find a man who loved her that much?
At that moment, Katherine Jackson looked at Jason and fell into a trance. Jason pulled out the belt around his pants at that instance and whipped it at Katherine Jackson’s hand that was holding the dagger.
Katherine Jackson noticed that something was wrong but it was too late for her to react. The dagger in her hand immediately fell to the ground, and Grace took the opportunity to use all her strength to knock Katherine Jackson away.
“Don’t think you can escape. Nobody can escape…” yelled Katherine Jackson as she reached for her pocket.
However, there was a muffled groan in the next moment and Katherine Jackson fell to the ground. On her back, blood began to rapidly spread, staining her clothes.
One of the five helicopters that had been circling overhead had its door opened…
A man in a police uniform had his sniper rifle aimed at Katherine Jackson, looking to be on guard. If the first shot did not take her down, he would shoot again.
However… Katherine Jackson was probably not going to make it. Grace looked at Katherine Jackson as she twitched on the ground. Her expression changed slightly when she saw a device rolling out of Katherine Jackson’s pocket.
It seemed like a remote control with a countdown on it. It was counting down. Eight… Seven… Six…
‘It’s a timer!
‘Did Katherine Jackson press the button while it was in her pocket just now?
‘What exactly is this device?’ Grace had a bad feeling, but Katherine Jackson could not speak right now. After twitching a few times, she stopped moving as if announcing the passing of her life.
Just then, Jason lunged forward and grabbed Grace’s arm. “Come on. I’ll send you to the hospital!”
He bent over to pick her up as he spoke.
“Jay, this…” Grace barely finished speaking when suddenly, there was an explosion. The building instantly began to shake.
It was a bomb!
Grace froze, finally understanding what the device that rolled out of Katherine Jackson’s pocket was! It was the device that set off the bomb!
“Everybody, get out of here!” ordered Jason.
The people who worked for Jason were skilled. They had already started looking for the most suitable escape route.
The helicopters hovering in the sky also scrambled to lower their rope ladders. They could bring some people away from the explosion site.
As the explosions continued, parts of the abandoned building began to crack. It would collapse at any time.
Jason hugged Grace as she tried to steady herself.
“Lina! Hurry and let Lina board the helicopter!” Grace shouted. Her best friend was pregnant. The safest way to get out of here was by taking the helicopter!
“Don’t worry, someone will bring Lina to the helicopter!” said Jason.
Sure enough, as he finished speaking, two people came to Lina’s side and helped her climb up the rope ladder the helicopter had put down.
Watching her best friend climb up as she held onto the rope ladder, Grace felt a little calmer now.
“Let’s go too,” Jason said as he quickly tore the cloth from her sleeve to help her apply pressure on the wound on her neck, fearing that she would bleed more. “Don’t worry about anything. Just hold onto the rope ladder. Slowly climb up until you get into the cabin, okay?”
As he spoke, he picked her up in his arms and headed for the nearest rope ladder.
Grace leaned against Jason’s chest. His upper body was currently naked. The wind on the rooftop was especially cold, and the skin on his chest was freezing.
However, she was unusually at ease because he was here!
As long as he was around, it seemed that she had nothing to worry about.
Grace muttered, “Jay, you saved me again. If Katherine Jackson… wasn’t distracted just now, you… wouldn’t have seriously stripped naked, would you?”
She could not help asking the question even though every word she said caused her pain due to the wounds on her neck.
He fixed his dark eyes on her. “What if I say that was exactly what I was planning? If she wasn’t distracted, I
would’ve continued taking off my clothes. As long as your life was in her hands and I couldn’t find the opportunity to do anything, then even if she told me to lie down like a dog, I would do it!”
Grace looked at Jason with her eyes full of shock. Would such a proud man go that far for her?
“What’s the matter? Don’t you believe me? Don’t you believe I
would go that far?” he asked.
