Ice and Fire

When she saw Jackson's cold face, Caroline immediately put the ice down. Cherry sat up straighter as she was also nervous.

Jackson walked up to Cherry, grabbed her by the arm, and dragged her into Selina's office.

When the office door opened, Selina was still sitting at her desk. She became intrigued when she saw Jackson drag Cherry in with him, but before she could even ask what had happened, she heard Jackson's following words.

"Get out!" commanded Jackson seriously. After he finished his words and stared at Selina for a few moments, he grabbed Cherry's hand again and dragged her to the resting room.

There was a small resting room in Selina's office, but Selina had never slept there. Instead, whenever they came to the JS Group, Jackson and Derek would lie inside there for quick naps, or sit on the couches to watch TV.

Jackson pulled Cherry into the resting room, closed the door, and pressed Cherry against it. He then stretched out his hand, and raised up Cherry's face.

Cherry didn't say a word to him, and instead just avoided his eyes. Since she had already noticed that Jackson was very mad, she knew that every effort to resist him would be futile.

Looking at the red marks on her fair face, Jackson couldn't help but feel a sharp sting in his heart.

"Did she do this to you?" asked Jackson.

With her head turned sideways, Cherry said, "You already know the answer to this question."

"Why didn't you dodge her?" questioned Jackson. He hadn't witnessed the scene, but if he had, he would have never allowed Cherry to be slapped.

Cherry instantly got angry when she heard this. She obviously wasn't feeling great, because she had been slapped, and to top it, now this wretch in front of her was blaming her for not dodging the blow.
