Chapter 623: Chapter 602: My child, Jaysen Smith, cannot die in vain!

"What do you mean by such ruthlessness?"

Theo Scott was similarly taken aback by Jaysen Smith’s words, his eyebrows knitted tight as he locked onto Jaysen’s face, "Aren’t you two fine now? Isn’t it enough to simply leave it to the police? What’s the meaning of keeping her here and torturing her privately?"

Handing her over to the police station may not lead to severe consequences, hopefully. At the most, it could be a case of attempted murder. But if kept under Jaysen Smith’s control, it’s likely she’d either go insane or end up dead. He didn’t know Jaysen Smith well enough, but he did know Michael Gordon quite well. There was almost no one in Andras City who wasn’t aware of his ruthless tactics.

Since they were brothers from the same nest, he figured Jaysen would not be any better. Besides, that foolish woman had almost cost them their lives. He didn’t really want to do anything, except let them handle it officially, at least so as to provide some explanation back in his hometown.

"We’re alright now?"

If it were not for the fact that Theo’s words were unbearable, Jaysen wouldn’t even want to bother arguing with him. "Are you blind, or just visually impaired? We’re fine? What does that have to do with her? We are just lucky to be alive. Are you implying she can only be charged once we’re all dead? Theo, don’t you think it’s too late?"

"No, that’s not what I meant, I mean, you should hand her over to the police, not hold her captive privately. This is a bit inappropriate!"

Jaysen was being stubborn and hostile, so Theo had to change his tone. After all, he had already promised his father to help, at least in trying to get the woman out of Jaysen’s clutches. As for the sentencing, that was a matter of the law, and he couldn’t make the decision. "Hand her over to me, I will personally escort her to the police station. Consider it a favor to me. I also promise that, from now on, I won’t pester Madeline!"

Theo was running out of persuasive words to convince Jaysen to release her. Recalling his last plea for Sienna Harrison to come back, he chose to swallow his ego and ask for this favor. If he could just get her out of Jaysen’s control, his family in the country has agreed to let them divorce. And as for the sentencing, they would figure something out!

So for the sake of his own freedom, he had no choice but to proceed with this action!

His career was booming, and the woman from the countryside simply couldn’t match him anymore. Having a wife like her was only bringing down his value. Had he known his career would flourish so wonderfully, he should never have broken up with Sienna Harrison, or at least not rushed to marry.

Now, he could have married the heiress to a wealthy family based on his own effort, rather than a country girl. He was no longer a mere successful peasant!

Before, he lacked understanding and was only concerned about his ego as a man, believing that he could only maintain self-esteem if he could hold onto his wife. But Miss Harrison, he could hold onto her, but not the family that came with her. So, best to cut it off immediately, break up, and avoid sinking deeper into the relationship. Now he realizes that a man’s taste and value are highlighted by the woman beside him.

Especially when the CEOs of the companies he was working with all had splendid noblewomen by their sides, seeing his wife who would forget her face in front of USD would be a stain on his high-ranking life.

Thankfully, they had only held the wedding banquet, and if divorced, even if he failed to win Sienna Harrison back, he would still be a valuable bachelor. However, this decision made his country-born parents steadfast in their refusal, condemning him for leaving his humble wife just because he had achieved some success. The values of their rural upbringing could not accept this. Not until this time, when the foolish woman had actually attempted murder. As for how she managed to tamper with Jaysen’s car, he didn’t want to know anymore.

But that’s how it happened, and this incident finally led his parents, who had been firmly against the divorce, to soften their stance. It was a matter of integrity after all; but to give an explanation to his in-laws, he had promised to get her out from under Jaysen’s control!

So that’s why he was in such a hurry to come here.

He knew Jaysen liked Sienna, and as her ex-boyfriend, Jaysen wouldn’t think highly of him. He had pestered her once already, and Jaysen probably wouldn’t welcome him pestering her again. He really had no other option with Jaysen - they were just not on the same level. So, he had no cards to play, and could only resort to this, although it was a reason that even he found amusing. But in the end, he went with it.

Exactly as he expected, Jaysen responded with laughter, as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world...

"Theo Scott, you are incredibly narcissistic. You don’t want to pester her? Who do you think you are to pester her? I, Jaysen Smith, do not snatch women from others, and I’m not afraid of anyone snatching mine. If I, Jaysen Smith, do not love my woman enough or treat her well enough, then every man in the world is my love rival and can attempt to snatch her from me. But if I love her enough and treat her well, then I have nothing to fear, even if every man in the world tries to take her away from me!"

Jaysen’s sonorous and resolute voice echoed in Theo’s ears, like a thunderbolt out of the blue, his brain exploding with understanding. All this time he had been confused about why Sienna, who used to love him so dearly and clung to him, would suddenly lose all feelings for him in just half a year, and transfer that love to another man?

He now understood why. The man she loved was one that any woman would easily fall for. Jaysen Smith had both looks and wealth, and a heart full of deep and selfless love. Therefore... he had lost a long time ago. The moment a man named Jaysen Smith appeared in this world, he had already lost!

"You really can’t hand her over to me?"

Deep down, he already knew the answer, but he still couldn’t let go and had to ask again, "Must you torment her like this under your control? If anything happens, it will cause you trouble!"

If a life was lost, for someone of Jaysen’s status, it wouldn’t be worth it. Besides, he should consider Sienna’s wellbeing.

"I, Jaysen Smith, am not afraid of trouble, especially when it comes to those who have hurt me!"

Sienna’s gaze had been tightly focused on the video confrontation between the two men. Each word of their conversation had deeply shaken her world.

The greatness of a man is displayed through comparison, and standing next to each other like this, she realized how much her taste had improved. She had thought she was shocked enough for one day, but the words that came next pushed her endurance to its limit.

"If anyone dares to mess with me, Jaysen Smith, they must be ready to face the consequences. I won’t say too much more. I won’t rest until that woman is dead or driven to madness!"

The man’s chilling words unlocked the thoughts in her mind. The next moment, a massive wave crashed in Sienna’s mind, "After all, my child with Jaysen Smith didn’t die for nothing!"
