Chapter 8
“It wasn’t me, Carla’s voice trembled, “it was Kate, I saw her with my own eyes…”
“Enough! Jason interrupted sharply, “Carla, you must pay the price for
this.”
He snapped his fingers, and two bodyguards immediately stepped forward to restrain Carla.
“Jason! Carla struggled, “Believe me this one time, just this once…”
Jason sneered, “Take her to the amusement park.”
In the early hours of late autumn, the amusement park was empty.
Carla was dragged to the highest bungee jumping platform, where the cold wind made her shiver.
“Tie him up, Jason ordered coldly.”
Carla’s face turned pale. “No… Jason, you know I’m afraid of heights…”
“It’s because I know that I want you to remember this lesson, Jason personally fastened her seatbelt. “When you’re ready to tell the truth, that’s when I’ll let you go.”
The bungee jump slowly ascended, and Carla kept her eyes tightly closed.
When the machine reached the highest point, she was already shaking like a falling leaf.
“Ah!”
06.000
The machine suddenly plummeted, and the feeling of weightlessness made Carla’s heart almost stop beating.
She screamed, tears scattered by the wind in the night sky.
One time, two times, three times…
When the sky was just beginning to turn pale, Jason finally called a halt.
When Carla was put down, she was already incoherent, her lips bitten. until they bled profusely.
“Have you thought it through? Jason looked down at her from above.”
Carla opened her mouth and suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, then passed out completely.
In a daze, she seemed to hear Jason calling her name, but soon, endless darkness engulfed all her consciousness.
The smell of disinfectant made Carla’s temples throb.
She opened her eyes and saw Jason standing by the bed, his long fingers holding three plane tickets.
“Carla, recently you have been causing trouble, first bullying Kate, then hurting Greg. I really don’t want to see you anymore.”
Н
He put the plane tickets on the bedside table with a cold face, “Take your parents abroad and calm down. When you repent, I will bring you back.‘
Carla stared at the plane ticket and suddenly felt ridiculous.
In the previous life, he cut off his finger for her out of love, but in this life, he couldn’t wait to exile her to the ends of the earth.
She didn’t say anything, but took the plane ticket in silence.
Seeing her so obedient, Jason frowned and said, “You just agreed like that? Don’t you have anything to say?”
Carla slowly raised her eyes.
She wanted to say a lot, wanted to say that he mistakenly believed in Kate, wanted to say that he let down her true feelings, wanted to say that Greg was the one she harmed…
But in the end, she just shook her head gently.
“Mr. Quinn, the nurse knocked gently on the door, “Ms. Murray said she had chest pain and has been looking for you.”
“Got it, tell her I’ll go see her in a bit.‘
Jason responded with a nod and turned to Carla, saying coldly, “In order to prevent you from running away halfway, I will personally take you to the airport.”
On the way to the airport, Carla quietly sent a text message to her parents.
Mom and Dad, bring my divorce certificate, we will meet at the airport and leave immediately.
After sending the message, she tilted her head slightly and saw Jason’s profile reflected in the car window, looking particularly cold and stern.
During the time when she came back to life, she was ecstatic and wanted to make up for everything with him. She wanted to give him all her love, so she followed him around like a shadow every day.
At that time, she always loved to stare at the way he drove, feeling that even the knuckles he used to grip the steering wheel were incredibly sexy.
But looking back now, I just feel like my heart was as still as dead water.
“We’re here, Jason stopped the car, “I’ll walk you in.”
26.03
The airport terminal was bustling with people coming and going. Jason was supposed to keep an eye on her as she went through security, but Kate’s phone suddenly rang.
“Kate? Jason answered the phone, his tone instantly gentle. “Don’t be afraid, I’ll be back to accompany you right away.”
He hung up the phone, didn’t even look at Carla again, and walked away quickly.
Carla stood still, watching as his figure disappeared into the crowd before walking towards her parents.
“Carla, this is your divorce certificate, her father handed her a document.”
“Hmm.”
Carla took it and finally had a relieved smile on her face.
She tore the three tickets to Paris that Jason gave her into pieces, threw them directly into the trash can, and then went to the front desk to buy three tickets to Switzerland.
“Dad, Mom, let’s go.
In the sunset glow, they walked into the boarding gate as a family, their backs resolute.
On the other side, Jason rushed to the hospital at the fastest speed.
Just as I stepped out of the hospital elevator and was about to go to Kate’s ward,
The television on the side suddenly interrupted with an urgent news report:
“The latest news, the MU587 flight from New York to Paris crashed shortly after takeoff, with 132 passengers on board, none survived…”
Chapter 8
Upon hearing this, Jason’s footsteps halted, and his blood instantly ran cold.
MU587?
Wasn’t that the flight he bought for Carla?!
