Chapter 45 Malicious Call At Midnight

Leonardo fell into deep thought. He finally knew that the culprit was Kieran, but he did not know where to find him.

There was not much time left for him to waste.

The Strikezone Martial Arts and Young Corporation’s reputations were the most important to him at first.

However, nothing was as important compared to the survival of Young Corporation. First of all, he had to put the murder cases to a stop.

Leonardo contemplated in his mind and came up with a plan. He then called Morgan and said, “Master Hayes, can you please inform Jonathan that our conflict will be dissolved, and Young Corporation will also admit being at fault if he ceases the attack on us? He will be set free, and we’ll not interfere with each other’s businesses from now on.”

Morgan was confused because the murder cases in Young Corporation were a mystery and not publicized for fear of mass panic.

However, Morgan still gladly agreed.

After that, Morgan rushed to meet Jonathan and relayed Leonardo’s message to him.

Jonathan snorted. “Leonardo, that brat, is indeed a scaredy-cat. He surrenders once you show him some tricks.”

Morgan was curious and asked, “Master Lawson, Leonardo said that you attacked Young Corporation. How did you do that when you’re detained here?”

Jonathan respected Morgan, so he answered, “Master Hayes, there are some things I cannot divulge, but I can tell you that I did some things to the Young Corporation.”

Morgan knew how to read the situation and did not continue probing since Jonathan was unwilling to share. He heaved a sigh of relief and said, “It’s fine as long as you’re okay.”

Jonathan told Morgan, “Master Hayes, please tell Leonardo that I agree to his terms.”

Morgan nodded, then left the place.

After reaching a mutual consensus, Bethany’s family immediately announced that they would not sue Jonathan and that the incident had no relation to him from the start. They claimed that Bethany had always been ill, and they just wanted to blackmail Jonathan for money.

Amber knew all the details clearly from the start. The only problem they had was Bethany’s family’s insistence on Jonathan. Now that they stopped, it was rational to set Jonathan free.

Amber was not in Horington, and she did not hear about the Young Corporation’s murder cases. The incident within Young Corporation was kept under wraps by Jipsdale’s officials and Leonardo. They decided to settle it privately.

Leonardo spent a lot of money, made threats, and also promised rewards to make sure everyone in the family kept quiet about the incident.

Amber was with Yasmin and the other ladies when she heard that Bethany’s family pulled back from suing Jonathan. She was overjoyed by the news, and the ladies immediately returned to Horington. NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.

Amber knew Jonathan must have done something that forced Leonardo to give up.

Nonetheless, Jonathan’s release was the best outcome.

At eleven o’clock in the morning, Jonathan finished giving his statement and signed the report before he was released.

It was a courtyard filled with greens outside the police station.

The sunlight made everything look refreshing and bright when it shone on the courtyard.

Jonathan was locked up for more than a week, so he could not help himself and let out a wolf’s howl for having regained his freedom.

No one can restrain me and keep me bound!

Right then, a few cars drove up to the police station. The next moment, Amber, Jennifer, Yasmin, and Jessica got out of the cars.

The four ladies had their distinct unique charms. Jennifer had a mature and charming temperament, while Amber was carefree and bubbly. Meanwhile, Yasmin was cold and elegant, and Jessica was a mischievous-looking beauty.

The four girls were happy to see Jonathan coming out safely.

Jessica giggled and teased Jonathan, “Are you howling or imitating a ghoul’s screech?”

“Jessy, you must’ve missed me and wanted to hug me, right? Come here.” Jonathan looked at Jessica and laughed while he held his arms wide open to her.

Jessica immediately hid behind Jennifer and pushed the latter forward while she said, “You can hug Jennifer instead.”

Jennifer’s face flushed red. Jonathan was also embarrassed, so he scratched his head and laughed airily.

Yasmin glanced at Jonathan and smiled. “Glad to know you’re fine. Let’s go now. We’ll bring you to take a shower first, then eat a hearty meal.”

Jonathan had not been eating well in the police station, so he immediately consented. “Sounds good!”

Amber watched them from the side and stated, “I have something else to attend to, so I won’t be joining.”

However, Jessica was unwilling to let her go. “Amber, you can’t be absent. It’s more fun if everyone is there. You can do whatever it is you need to do later.”

Jonathan chimed in, “That’s right, Captain Johnson. I need to thank you too.”

Amber relented under their persistence.

Although the four ladies were friendly with each other, Jennifer felt a little out of place. She was the oldest among them, and her family background was inferior to theirs.

Yasmin and the rest all wore branded items and drove luxurious cars, but she was only an ordinary employee. Even though they were mindful around her to make her feel better, they were still too different, and Jennifer felt an inferiority complex.

The group got into their cars. Jonathan and Jennifer went with Amber. Jonathan called shotgun, and Jennifer sat at the back.

When the car started moving, Amber asked Jonathan, “What did you do to Leonardo? Why did he give up?”

“It’s a secret.” Jonathan grinned.

It was something he could not allow Amber to know, but even if she found out, there was nothing she could do because he did nothing. However, he knew that Amber would be angry and hate him once she found out the truth.

He did not want to lose a friend like Amber, so he could only hide the details.

Amber knew that Jonathan would not say anything about the subject, then decided that she did not need to pry for details either. Some things are better left unknown.

She was okay as long as Jonathan was safe.

They proceeded as planned with the shower and then grabbed lunch. In between, Yasmin and Jessica also asked Jonathan about how he made Leonardo give up, but he only gave them vague answers as he did with Amber. If he was unwilling to share the details, then no one could force it out of him.

After the meal, they went to the karaoke bar, and the fun lasted until night.

The group went to grab dinner together, and by the time they parted, it was already nine o’clock at night. The whole day of fun and games allowed Amber to grow closer to Yasmin and Jessica.

Meanwhile, Jennifer grew more distant as time passed.

Amber sent Jonathan and Jennifer home, and Jennifer thanked Amber again after reaching home; she was still polite despite her silence.

On the other hand, Jonathan behaved casually and simply waved Amber off.

Amber did not get angry at him for the simplicity and instead felt happy because there was no need for courtesy between her and Jonathan.

Jonathan and Jennifer stood in front of the residential area at Baykeep and watched as Amber drove away. When they could no longer see Amber’s car, Jennifer silently turned around and entered the residential area.

Jonathan was puzzled by her reaction. He thought that he could finally spend some alone time with Jennifer after sending the other girls away. However, he did not expect such a response from her.

He helplessly trudged behind Jennifer and asked, “Jennifer, what’s wrong?”

“I’m just a little tired,” Jennifer answered without looking at him. Her expression was somewhat forlorn and cold.

Jonathan fell into a stupor because he could not comprehend her.

His carefree and easygoing nature did not allow him to read into Jennifer’s change in mood, and he brushed it off after ruffling his hair.

Jennifer went to her bedroom to sleep right away after arriving home.

Meanwhile, Jonathan phoned Kieran in his room. He said after the latter picked up, “Thanks, Kiki. I’m fine now.”

Kieran answered softly, “No problem.”

Jonathan smiled. “Leave the country as soon as possible. I’ll go find you once I have the opportunity.”

“Okay… I didn’t do anything wrong, right?” Kieran sought confirmation.

“You did great,” Jonathan remarked.

He knew that Kieran was asking because Jonathan disliked killing people, and yet Kieran had killed a lot of people.

However, Jonathan would not blame him because the people Kieran killed were people who Jonathan should have killed personally. Hence, he felt nothing but gratitude toward Kieran.

Besides, Kieran was an exceptional assassin. Jonathan never reminded him to avoid killing more than necessary or gave other commands because it would only limit Kieran’s potential.

After hanging up on the call, Jonathan prepared to go to bed, but his phone rang again. The caller was Leonardo.

The first words he said were, “It’s Leonardo.”

Jonathan did not mind it and casually responded, “What do you want?”

Leonardo replied, “I admit that I’ve underestimated you.”

“It’s late at night, and you’re calling just to tell me this?” Jonathan snorted.

Leonardo fell silent, then said, “Say… What will you do if I capture Jennifer, Yasmin, and Jessica?”

Jonathan was momentarily stunned, then chuckled. “Then I promise you that Young Corporation would fall.”

“I compromised because I didn’t want to trouble the masters and the elders in Yaleview. Do you really think I’m afraid of you?” Leonardo sneered.
