Chapter 18 A Wave Of Unrest In The Parking Lot (Part Two)

Feeling John slowly ease his grip on her arm, Cherry immediately flung away his hand and stood some

distance away from him.

Jean stepped forward to stand between them. She glanced at John and said fiercely,"John, can't you

still get over this bitch? She is now your aunt."

With that, she turned to look at Cherry and slapped her on her face without saying a word.

The slap was so loud that the sound reverberated around them.

Cherry couldn't help but stagger back several steps. She lowered her head and covered her face with

her hair.

"Jean, what are you doing?" rebuked John. He immediately stepped in front of Jean to protect Cherry

and keep her safe.

"What am I doing? I am teaching my shameless sister a lesson. How dare a married woman seduce

her sister's fiance? Don't you think that she deserved the slap?" Jean shouted, loudly. She did think

that what she had done was right.

All of a sudden, Cherry spoke,"Sister? What a joke! Jean Shen, did you really consider me as your

sister? Did you feel ashamed when you were having sex with my boyfriend?"

"Why should I feel ashamed? I love John and he is willing to accept me. So tell me, why should I feel

ashamed?" Cherry retorted. Usually, Jean had one hundred percent chance of winning when she faced

Cherry. Cherry had been bullied since she was a little child. How could she now put up a fight?

"Jean, if you hadn't drugged my wine, how could I..." John did not finish his sentence because he knew

that Jean understood what he meant.

"What's the problem with that? To get what I want, I will use all means available. I will do it either by

hook or by crook," said Jean. She then continued,"John, even if you want her to come back to you, it is

impossible. Because she is Jackson's woman now."

With triumph in her voice, Jean raised her mouth. She knew that John had no chance at all to choose

Cherry over her.

Looking at Jean's smile, John said firmly,"Jean, even if Cherr does not belong to me now, I will not

marry you."

"You..." Jean was totally vexed, but she did not know what to say.

Seeing this scene, Cherry helplessly shook her head and turned away. How ardently she wished she

had nothing to do with these two. One was the man she once loved deeply and one was her sister.

Both of them had betrayed her and changed her life completely. She might not hate them, but what she

wanted was to get away from them and never see them again. She wanted to forget everything that

had happened among them.

However, no one expected that all of this had been filmed by a man in black who standing in the corner

of the parking lot. The entire saga, from Cherry and John walking into the parking lot to Cherry turning

away, had been recorded.

At the barracks, the face of the leader sitting behind the desk had already darkened. Looking at the

pictures in his hand, he was very angry. He had left her for just one day, in fact even less than a day,

and his woman had already been bullied. She was not only grabbed at by his ungrateful nephew, but

also slapped by the vicious Jean. He wished that he could fly back immediately to shoot these two

people. They had a death wish to hurt his woman!

Jackson furiously crumpled the pictures in his hand and said to himself,"John, you dared to touch my

woman and I will make you pay for it.

Next day, at the military compound, Andrew was taking a leisurely break in the living room.

Suddenly, Lucia and Edwin rushed into the Chu home.

The moment they entered the living room, Lucia reported to Andrew,"Grandpa, something bad has

happened."

Hearing Lucia's words, Andrew was surprised. His grand-daughter had never been in such a state of

panic. What had happened this time?

"What's the matter? Take it easy and say it slowly," said Andrew. He put down the cup in his hand.

Lucia said,"Grandpa, John's application for governorship has been suddenly cancelled. I don't know

who did it and I don't know what to do."

She was highly agitated and had no idea what to do. If her son's future had been affected, it was like

cutting short her life.

"What? Who dared to ruin my great-grandson's future? Is he asking for death?" said Andrew, in a

serious tone.

"I don't know. I have asked several friends to check it out, but they are not allowed to say anything."

Lucia's eyes were full of hatred. "Someone must be envious of John and is playing dirty tricks.

Grandpa, you must find out who is behind this evil act."

Begged Lucia, tugging at Andrew's clothes.

Andrew thought for a while and said,"Don't worry. I will send someone to investigate this. If there is

indeed someone playing dirty tricks on John, I will not let him get away."

Hearing this, Lucia felt relieved. Since Andrew had taken up the matter, everything would be fine. For

Andrew's reach and power were there for all to see.

Andrew commanded the butler,"Go to check on this now and get me the report in half an hour."

"Yes, sir." The butler said and then turned away.

Lucia and Edwin sat in the living room, waiting for the news.
