That night, Lea returned to the Harvey family.
Seeing the light coming from the study, Lea knew that Jason was back.
Lea took a deep breath, walked to the door of the study, and gently knocked.
"Come in."
A cold voice came from inside, which made Lea originally calm heart tremble again.
Lea pushed open the door of the study and walked in.
Jason looked up at Lea, then lowered his head and continued to deal with the documents in his hand. He asked indifferently, "What's the matter?"
"The Lester Group is facing a crisis right now. Y-you... Can you get your hands on the shares?"
Lea looked down at the tips of her shoes and could clearly feel the sweat seeping out of her palms.
A moment later, Jason's cold voice rang out.
"Okay. As long as you donate your bone marrow to Julie, I will invest in the Lester Group."
It was Julie again.
The hope that Lea had finally managed to raise in her heart disappeared when she heard these three words. Her heart was riddled with holes.
Thinking of what had happened in the afternoon, she bit her lip and looked up at Jason in front of her with hatred and anger in her eyes.
"Impossible! Don't even think about it!"
"You're unwilling?"
The corners of Jason's lips curled up slightly. He looked down at the woman and sneered. "Then you have no value at all."
Value.
Was this the only effect Lea had in Jason's heart?
"Jason, even if you hate me, you shouldn't ignore the Lester Group. Devon and Dad are close friends. If Devon is still alive, he will definitely..."
Before Lea could finish her words, the man's face suddenly turned cold. Did she threaten him with his father?
The next second, Jason raised his hand, and the documents in his hand flew out. Lea stood in front of the desk, and the documents rushed toward her face. She stood still and a piece of paper brushed across her cheek.
Lea frowned slightly and reached out to cover the wound on her face. Although it was unintentional, she still made a small cut.
Looking at the documents on the ground, Lea clenched her teeth and tried hard to control her emotions.
Seeing the wound on Lea's cheek, Jason was slightly stunned.
After a while, Jason's eyes returned to their usual coldness.
Lea's lips curled into a self-mocking smile when she saw the indifferent man before her. She turned around and left the study.
Back in her room, Lea locked the door and squatted down with her back against the door. Her heart ached even more.
"Open the door!"
A cold voice came from outside the door, and Lea's slender body trembled.
If Jason didn't want to divorce Lea and didn't help her, why should she accept it?
Hearing no sound in the room, and the door was locked, the air around Jason became colder and colder.
How dare Lea lock Jason outside the door!
Jason frowned. Just as he was about to ask the servant to kick the door open, his phone rang.
When Jason saw the screen, his expression softened a little.
"Julie, what's wrong?"
Inside the room, Lea's breath caught in her throat when she heard Jason talking to Julie on the phone.
"Okay, don't move. I'll be right there."
The next second, the sound of hurried footsteps came from outside the door.
Lea opened the door with a hint of expectation, but the door was already empty.
Lea stared blankly at the stairs and muttered to herself, "I still can't beat her."
In a villa in the suburbs.
It was half an hour later when Jason arrived.
Dressed in a short black slip dress, Julie lay on the sofa and pretended to be weak as she looked at the man who came in.
"Jason, I... I just felt weak all over. I thought I was going to die and never see you again..."
As Julie spoke, tears fell from the corners of her eyes at the right time. She looked so pitiful.
"It's okay."
Jason frowned. He sat on the sofa and held Julie in his arms.
Jason took the glass of water on the table, took the medicine for cancer, and gently fed it to Julie.
Julie opened her mouth and swallowed it cooperatively. A bitter look appeared on her face, as if the pill was very bitter.
But in fact, Julie knew better than anyone else that this was just an ordinary vitamin pill.
"Don't think too much. You should have a good rest when you're sick."
Jason gently stroked Julie's hair, got up, and carried her to the bed.
Julie grabbed Jason's wrist and said weakly, "Tonight, can you... don't leave?"
Seeing Julie like this, Jason couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
Tonight, when Lea came to see him, her face was also very pale. The document cut her face. Jason didn't know if she had applied medicine now. Would it leave a scar?
Realizing that he was thinking about that woman, Jason's pupils suddenly contracted.
What did Lea's disfigured appearance have to do with Jason?
Jason frowned slightly, looking a little annoyed and impatient.
Seeing Jason like this, Julie didn't dare to guess anymore. She could only pretend to look at him nervously and ask carefully, "Jason, have you... fallen in love with Lea all these years?"
"No."
A strange look flashed across Jason's eyes, and he denied it.
Hearing this, Julie slowly breathed a sigh of relief and pulled the man beside her to sit by the bed.
Julie leaned into Jason's arms and said in a delicate voice again, "When I was a child, my sister beat and scolded me, but she was sincere to you for so many years. If, if I really can't live long, I think you and her..."
Speaking of this, Julie stopped and coughed hard, "Ahem!"
Jason pursed his thin lips into a line, and his disgust for Lea once again surged in his heart.
Jason controlled his emotions and looked gently at Julie in his arms.
"Don't worry, I'll definitely cure you. You're the most important person to me."
Jason couldn't deny that he met Lea first. At that time, he was young and ignorant, so he felt that Lea was gentle and kind.
But then he met Julie and saw the scars on her body, all of which were caused by Lea. From that moment on, he no longer had a good impression of Lea and hated her more and more.
Jason's gazes were gentle. He had a knot in his heart about Julie.
"Julie, when I was suffering the most in my life, you were the one who accompanied me through the pain of losing my loved ones."
Jason would never forget this in his life.
When Julie heard this, her eyes were full of complexity, guilt, and fear at the same time.
If one day Jason found out the truth...
