The CEO’s Pet Cat

Chapter 67: One Life for One Life



The scene in front of her eyes grew blurry, and Mia’s consciousness gradually began to blur as a feeling of relief rose in her mind.

Maybe if you die, everything will be relieved?

Everything, it wouldn’t have to be so hard, would it?

A faint smile crept onto her face, the corners of her lips curling up slightly.

“Grandpa, what are you doing!” Just as her consciousness was fading away, she heard an exasperated voice, unusually familiar.

Then the hands imprisoned around her neck snapped away and she gasped for air, coughing lifelessly.

“Asher, are you trying to stop me?” When she opened her eyes, she saw Asher with a grim look on his face, imprisoning Grandpa Jun with both hands, Grandpa Jun’s face still a mixture of anger and grief, “Asher, for the sake of this woman, you would not even care about your brother’s life?”

Asher twisted his head to look at Mia and spoke coldly, “Grandpa, she didn’t kill Liam, and you’d be guilty if you did!”

“Asher, she’s the one who killed Liam, she’s the murderer, you let go of me, I’m going to kill her myself, kill her myself and avenge Liam’s death!” Grandpa Jun’s voice grew hoarse, but it still carried full hatred.

Mia stumbled over to the two men and gasped, “Asher, the old man hates my guts right now, and Liam’s death does have something to do with me, so just let me take a life for a life!”

“Damn it, shut the fuck up!” Turning his head to look coldly at Mia, a fire flared in Asher’s eyes, “I’ve told you, this has nothing to do with you.”

“Asher, you’re just wolfish, can you stand up to Liam? For a woman, you don’t care about anything!” Seeing Asher protecting Mia, Grandpa Jun became even more angry.

Just when Asher was in a dilemma, he saw Mr. and Mrs. Jun Haotian walk in hurriedly, and Jun Haotian said sharply, “Asher, let go of your grandfather!”

“Asher, get your hands off your grandpa, the boy, no big deal.” Lily’s face changed when she saw Asher’s tight confinement of Grandpa Jun.

Asher gave his parents a wary look and let go of Grandpa Jun. Grandpa Jun saw he was let go and immediately grabbed his cane and hit Mia headlessly, “It’s all because of you, you give me back Liam, give me back Liam!”

Mia didn’t duck either, just met Grandpa Jun’s cane and took it without a word.

“Damn it, what are you doing?” Seeing Mia not dodging and allowing Grandpa Jun to whip her, Asher was furious and yanked her into his arms, meeting Grandpa Jun straight on, “Grandpa, calm down, Liam’s death had nothing to do with her, why can’t you just listen?”

Jun Haotian gave Mia a complicated look in his eyes and hurriedly assisted Grandpa Jun to do back to the seat, softly persuaded, “Dad, you are angry and confused, Liam’s death, it really has nothing to do with Miss Luo, you should not blame her!”

“You two bastards, what time is it that you are still looking towards outsiders!” Grandpa Jun was furious and scolded Jun Haotian and his wife in a splitting tone.

Jun Haotian was just about to speak when he heard Lily say in a miserable voice, “Dad, Liam was your grandson, but he was my son, and now that he’s gone, my heart feels like it’s been scraped with a knife …”

Her gentle face was covered in tears, her eyes were swollen like walnuts, and she was laden with grief. It seemed that Liam Jun’s death had dealt her quite a blow.

“Just say one less thing, Dad’s heart is not good either, alas …” Jun Haotian sat down in a disheveled manner and did not speak again for a long time.

Seeing her daughter-in-law’s overwhelming sadness, Grandpa Jun said nothing more, but his face was grim, and he surveyed Mia with beady eyes of hatred. mia was sure that if he had been given another chance, he would have killed himself anyway.

Seeing the appearance of Mr. and Mrs. Jun Haotian, Mia felt even more guilty in her heart, gently got rid of Asher’s guilt, walked to Mr. and Mrs. Jun Haotian and kneeled down with a flutter, “Uncle and aunt, Liam’s death is all my fault, you have to beat or punish, I won’t even say a word, I … ”

Mr. and Mrs. Jun Haotian looked at each other and then at Mia who was kneeling in front of them and said with a long sigh, “Son, none of us mean to blame you for this matter, get up.”

In fact, Mr. and Mrs. Jun Haotian had just lost their son, and their hearts were not without resentment towards Mia. But just now, when they saw Grandpa Jun hit her, she didn’t dodge or evade, and gradually forgave her in their hearts.

“Uncle and aunt, whether you beat or scold, I know you can’t get Liam’s life back. But I really feel guilty and sorry for Liam. If I could replace him, I would rather do it for him …,” Mia’s voice gradually took on a choked sob as she knelt low in front of the two men.

Grandpa Jun immediately glared and said, “Then you should die now, only when you die will I feel comfortable in my heart. Can your life be compared to Liam’s life?”

“You get up, let’s go back!” Seeing Mia kneeling on the ground, Asher’s heart felt like something had stabbed him and hurt vaguely, grimacing and stubborn, he yanked the kneeling Mia up and looked at Grandpa Jun and Jun Haotian couple, “This matter has nothing to do with her, I’ll take her back first.”

After saying that, unable Mia to react, he pulled her towards the outside.

“This bastard boy, I, I … cough …” Seeing Asher ignore him, Grandpa Jun hit the ground hard with his cane, being angry and coughing.

Jun Haotian hurriedly helped him to smooth out his breath and said in a soft voice, “Dad, I know it’s hard for you, but how can we feel better in our hearts? These few days are Liam’s last days at home, let’s just be calm and quiet, okay?”

Just after Jun Haotian’s words, Lily’s face crawled with tears as she choked up and said, “Yeah, since things have come to this, if we hold Miss Luo responsible, Asher might fall out with us too, then we’ll …”

“Ugh … pissed off …” Knowing that what Lily said was in no way an exaggeration, Grandpa Jun sighed hatefully and didn’t say another word.

But after Mia was brought back to the villa by Asher, he coldly threw her on the bed and said grimly, “You’ve grown up, to let Grandpa … have his way.”

Before he could finish his words, he saw that tears had crawled down Mia’s dull face, and Asher swallowed back the words that followed hard and with a long sigh, sat down beside her and swept her into his arms.

“If you don’t go today, maybe I’ll be able to pay back the favor I owe Liam.” Dumbly nestled in Asher’s arms, Mia’s eyes were unfocused, staring woodenly ahead.

Liam Jun’s death, Grandpa Jun’s grief and anger, and the grief of Mr. and Mrs. Jun Haotian irritated her deeply.

Hearing Mia’s words, Asher’s emotions that had just calmed down immediately filled with anger, “Are you saying that I should just watch you get killed? Or, do you think that if you die, Liam will come back to life? If Liam can really come back to life, you can go to hell, I won’t stop you!”

“Asher, I, I … I’m so hard on my heart … I’m sorry Liam …” Lifting eyes, teary-eyed at the man in front of her, Mia’s voice broke.

Liam Jun’s eyes gradually turned tender, and his voice also took on a gentle tone, “Well, you shouldn’t think too much, maybe, this is Liam’s life! Your task now, is to take good care of your body, don’t think too much about anything.”

Mia didn’t say anything, just buried her little face deep into Asher’s arms. Right now, she desperately needed someone’s embrace as a comfort.

Looking at the helpless little woman in his arms, Asher’s heart filled with pity, holding her tighter in his arms, his dark eyes full of worry.

With that, Mia finally drifted off to sleep in Asher’s arms. Her body had been sick for the past few days, and now that she had suffered one blow after another, she was now even weaker.

Gently placing the small woman in his arms on the bed and tenderly tucking her in, Asher gave her a deep look and gently walked out of the room.

Not knowing how long she had been asleep, Mia jerked awake to a shrill voice and rolled over to sit up in a panic, searching for Asher in a panic, “Asher, where are you?”

Whatever the feud between her and Asher, the only thing she seemed to rely on now was this man.

“You still have the nerve to look for Asher! You still have the nerve to live in Jun’s house, shame on you!” As soon as her words left her mouth, she saw a furious and contemptuous Leena appear in the doorway, looking at her with hatred, “I really admire you, you’ve got Liam killed, and you still have the audacity to live here with peace of mind?”

Riina’s words pierced into Mia’s heart like needles, pricking her breathlessly, and only after a long pause did she take a deep breath and ask, “Miss Ri, what is it that you came to see me about?”Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

“What is it?” Riina’s voice was sharp and mean, “Mia, what time is it now, Liam died because of you, the Jun family is now too busy to deal with just the media reporters, and you still have the nerve to hide in the Jun family’s villa all by yourself to enjoy yourself?”

“Since you’re so busy and Miss Lai is the future young grandmother of the Jun family, how would you have time to come to me and question me?” Mia’s mind was in turmoil and didn’t want to dwell too much with Leena, “If you want to ask why I’m still living in Jun’s house, then please go find Asher for Miss Le, I’m tired and won’t talk to Miss Le anymore.”

After saying that, Mia never looked at Leena again and laid down on the bed again. Right now, she really didn’t have half the strength to argue with Riina about anything anymore.

Seeing how flat Mia’s reaction was, Lena became even more furious and angrily walked over to her bed and said in a stern voice, “Mia, you’re a devil, you’ve brought the Jun family into chaos and killed Liam, if I were you, I’d have no face!”
