The Late CEO

The Part 37

Now Jaselyn had gotten used to living in Alex's mansion without any fear or discomfort. He had also moved from the not-so-large guest room to the one Alex had prepared.

Jaselyn also knew how the current state of Robert's company, whether it was from the media or from Alex.

Jaselyn did feel guilty for Stuart's family, even though the family treated her badly, but because of that family too she could be what she is today.

"What are you doing?" Alex asked who saw Jaselyn sitting on the balcony of her room.

Jaselyn turned her head and found Alex walking while smiling at her.

"none. When did you come? I didn't hear your car."

Alex looked at Jaselyn's black bead and stroked her cheek gently.

"I just arrived, the butler said you didn't have much lunch. Why?"

"Eumm... Alex." - Alex."

"Hmm? Say."

"Can you..... Let go of the Stuart family?"

Jaselyn tried to look into the eyes of Alex who was now also looking at her closely.

"I... I know it's none of my business, I also know why you did this to them, but...."

"Jaselyn, there's a lot you don't know about them. I know you're saying that because you feel guilty, and want to help them as your gratitude because they adopted you first."

Jaselyn was silent, she didn't know what else Alex was going to tell her. In her heart, Jaselyn felt a little regret for saying that.

Alex caught Jaselyn's slightly changed eyes, there was a clear glint in Jaselyn's eyes like water, which could no longer be contained and was ready to plunge down.

Slowly Alex hugged Jaselyn's body, giving a sense of security to the small body that had suffered a lot.

"You must know how they treated my family. I know what I have to do and I know my limits."

Jaselyn returned Alex's embrace, what Alex said was true. He has figured out how the Stuarts treated Dominic's family first. As they begin to take little by little the wealth to Dominic's family, until they make the family seem to disappear from N country for more than 10 years.

"I understand, I understand. But please give me a chance to thank them."

"They don't deserve that from you."

"Alex, I know they're treating me badly. Even I was often humiliated and almost died because of them. But those who took me from the orphanage and gave me an education, also a better life."

"Jassely....."

"I beg you, at least let them live. I beg you." Jaselyn tightened her embrace on Alex, and buried her face on Alex's field dad4.

"Jaselyn listen, they've ruined my family. Made both my parents die, and made Dominic's surname unknown for over 10 years in this country."

Jaselyn was silent, again everything Alex said was true. But really Jaselyn did not want Alex to continue living in the shadow of hatred, and revenge against the Stuart family that had destroyed her family.

"Jassely....."

"I know, do what you want to do. It's none of my business." Jaselyn let go of his embrace.

"You don't understand Jaselyn, I...."

"I know, I understand how you feel. But I don't want you to do the same with them. What's the difference between you and people like them if you do that, Alex?"

"You're too young to understand, you don't know."

"So young? I don't know how you feel? Then do you know how I felt when the family that raised me for years, and gave me a decent life, died because of you? While I can't do anything for them. Do you know Alex?"

Alex was stunned to hear every word Jaselyn said that was stressful. He had never seen the current Jaselyn in front of him.

He knew Jaselyn would not be able to see the Stuart family vanish just like his family. And right now what Alex remembers from Jaselyn's words is "do what you want to do. It's none of my business."

Those words seemed to create such a great distance between her and Jaselyn at the moment.

Jaselyn looked at Alex full of "David pleads, I beg you. I'll live with you, we'll live together wherever you want. But I beg you to let them go, I don't want you to hold me with that blood-soaked hand, even more so it's the blood of the Stuart family that was once my family." Jaselyn said in a soft tone.

Jaselyn gasped at Jaselyn's words. Words that Alex never thought would come out of Jaselyn's mouth, words that she desperately wanted to hear.

Alex should be happy to hear Jaselyn's sincerity say that. But behind that, Jaselyn has a desire, that is, she must release the Stuart family.

"Why? Why do you want so badly to protect that family?They made you suffer." Alex said as he touched Jaselyn's cheeks.

Jaselyn smiled faintly, she then reached out her hand touching the hand of Alex that was on her cheek.

"They used to be my family, they gave me a much better life, gave me a high education so that I could become what I am today. I can't give anything valuable to repay them. That's why I'm begging you to let them go. Let's just say this is my last request to you."

Alex looked at Jaselyn's eyes with various fluttering flavors. He desperately wanted to eliminate the family, but he loved Jaselyn so much and did not want the person he had left him, because of his grudge against the Stuart family.

"Alex." Jaselyn said again.

Alex was still silent, even though Alex would not do what Jaselyn wanted, but she knew that Jaselyn would be very disappointed, if he's forced to treat the Stuart family the same way the Stuart family used to treat his family.

"Well, I'm not gonna have that family ruined until there's nothing left. But I don't want them to live as happily as before."

Jaselyn nodded, Jaselyn hugged Alex's body with a smile. At least Jaselyn can keep the Stuart family alive even though it will only be people from the lower classes, no longer from the upper class as it is today.

"But I don't do that for free." Said Alex.

Jaselyn let go of her embrace and looked at Alex seriously with a frown full of questions.

"Look at this serious look, what are you thinking, baby, hmm?"

"Ti's....Nothing, I just..."

"The condition I'm asking is, you should accompany me to dinner. And next I don't want to hear you just eat a little. Youunderstand?"

"Yes I understand, and I won't do it again." Jaselyn hugged Alex happily.

"Alright, then I'll take a shower first, wait for me in the dining room. I've asked the butler to make you your favorite meal."

"Thank you." Jaselyn said, smiling at Alex.

Alex was always fascinated every time Jaselyn smiled like that at him, it felt like she would not be willing if that smile was seen by others. But of course it's impossible.

After tucking Jaselyn in the forehead, Alex exited Jaselyn's room and walked towards her own room.

"Mr Stuart I'm sorry, this is all I can do for your family. At least Alex didn't kill you like you did his family." Jaselyn muttered softly.

There was nothing Jaselyn could do anymore for the Stuart family. Alex is not someone anyone can offend. Even most of the leaders of the big companies, and the mafia leaders were very reluctant and afraid of him.

Keeping the Stuart family alive is a great kindness Alex has given them. Remembering what the family did to his family.
