Ice and Fire

Jackson didn't say anything. After Stephen glanced at Cherry, he focused his eyes on Jackson again, and said, "Jackson, I would have never thought that you would plan to root me out this time, but you should remember that the grudge between us will last for a lifetime. I returned here to get even with you five years ago, and I won't let you get away with it until one of us is dead!"

With a cold expression on his face, Jackson replied, "Then let's see who'll win out."

Cherry had no idea about what they were talking about. 'Was there a blood feud between them?' she wondered.

Stephen replied with a sneer, and said, "Interesting." A shade of hatred could be seen flowing in his eyes.

After that, Stephen moved his eyes on Cherry, who was standing beside him, and said, "Jackson, I hope that you won't mind if I tell your wife that the Shen Group has gone bankrupt at your command, will you?"

When she heard Stephen's words, Cherry was immediately shocked. She had known that the Shen Group had gone bankrupt, but she hadn't heard that it had been because of Jackson. Had he really done that?

Cherry shook her head and couldn't believe what she just heard. She looked back at Stephen, and asked, "What did you say? Can you say it again?"

Jackson stared at Cherry. No expression could be found on his face, but some worries did arise in his heart, and he was afraid that the distance between his woman and him would now increase even farther than it had been before.

Stephen didn't intend to conceal anything from her, and directly replied, "Cherry, you've already heard me, it's just as I said. The Shen Group's bankruptcy was all because of him. If you don't believe me, you can ask him right now."

Cherry started to tremble uncontrollably, and she cast her eyes on Jackson and looked astonished at him. She then unconsciously said, "No, that's impossible, he wouldn't do such a thing."

Jackson felt his heart ache when he saw Cherry's helplessness. In the past, when she had been mistreated by the Shen household, he had always stayed at her side and held her in his arms, showing her his warmest embrace to console her. Now things were different, and he couldn't even get close to her while she was so desperate in front of him.
