SWNOVELS Chapter 448
Chapter 448 He Can Give Up Everything for Reina
When the police arrived, Rex was already on the verge of death.
Jaylon continued to beat him as if he wanted to kill Rex while no one could pull him away.
In the end, the police had no choice but to stun Jaylon with an electric gun.
Jaylon stayed in the police station for the night. The next day, the police chief personally sent him out.
At the entrance of the police station, he met Leonard who came over after hearing the news.
Leonard directly punched Jaylon in the face without words.
"Jaylon, you are so good! You almost beat someone to death in public! Is this how I taught you this before?"
The tall and strong Leonard shouted aloud.
Leonard exerted all his strength when he punched Jaylon, who staggered back a few steps before he stabilized himself.
After being punched, Jaylon didn't get angry and still got lost in his sadness.
"Where is Rex?" Jaylon asked.
His tone was gloomy and ruthless.
Leonard asked angrily, "Do you still want to beat him to death?"
"Yes."
"What the fuck!"
Leonard raised his foot and was about to kick his son, but Carlee quickly came over to stop him.
"Forget it. What if you disable him?" Carlee comforted Leonard, then said to Jaylon, "The Malpas family has finally gotten better in the past two years. Don't do stupid things in public.
"No matter how that Rex provoked you, you had beaten him almost to death. If you beat him again, you will have gone too far."
"He insulted Reina, and I will kill him." Jaylon showed a cold and ruthless look.
Carlee said, "He only said a few wrong words, and you want to kill him. Since you tortured Reina for so long before, do you..."
Carlee did not say the whole sentence, but Jaylon understood what she
meant.
Jaylon clenched his fists, his nails digging deep into his palms as if his palms were going to be pierced through.
Without saying that he wanted to kill Rex, Jaylon silently turned to leave.
The rescue work had been going on for two months, and the assistant, Trenton Cantrell, could not help but come over to persuade him. "Jaylon, it's already been two months. We do nothing but stay on the sea all day long. And we've spent a lot of money. Why don't we just..."
Jaylon fell on the sofa in the living room. With stubble that had just popped up in the morning, he looked decadent.
He stubbornly said, "Continue searching. If you can't find her in the sea, go along the shore and search from house to house."
Trenton persuaded him for a long time but failed, so he had to go back to work.
For the past two months, Jaylon had never returned to the company.
During this period, Nadia came to find him once to cancel the engagement. "The Hornsby family wants the powerful Jaylon, not a good-for-nothing who will only be immersed in grief."
That day, Jaylon was looking through her childhood photo album he found from Reina's hometown.
Before she was 18, she loved to smile and go out with her friends to take photos.
Later, when her family collapsed, her mother left and her father was seriously ill. Since then, Reina's smile in the photo also disappeared.
When she met him in the end, Reina did not take photos and rarely smiled
again.
When Jaylon touched the photo, he seemed to be able to remember Reina's temperature when she was still around.
At that moment, he suddenly felt as if nothing mattered.
Thus, he responded to Nadia's request, "Okay."
The engagement between the Malpas family and the Hornsby family was
canceled, which was highly debated in the media in Canada.
When Jaylon saw the news in the headlines, he laughed at himself.
Back then, for the sake of the Hornsby family's engagement, Jaylon had
forced Reina to a dead end.
But now, he realized that it was that simple to cancel the engagement.
For Reina, he could give up anything.
Before, he had been able to effortlessly keep Reina by his side, so he had not given up on anything.
Now that he finally understood what he wanted the most, Reina had already
died.
That night, Jaylon returned to the hotel where he had stayed with Reina
before.
The night before Reina jumped into the sea, she had stood on the balcony
of this room.
The wind made her white dress flutter. She looked down at the abyss downstairs and asked him, "Jaylon, if I jump down from here, will there still be a complete corpse?"
At that time, he said she didn't dare to jump.
Later he knew that it was not because she didn't dare. She just felt that if
she died like that, it was so easy to let go of Jaylon.
She probably wanted to jump into the sea and commit suicide at the
engagement banquet, ruining the reputation of the Malpas family and the Hornsby family and giving Jaylon the most violent counterattack. However, she had miscalculated.
Her death didn't bring any trouble to the people on the ship except for the
chat at leisure.
There were so many people on the ship that day. Until now, only he still remembered her and missed her.
Jaylon endured for a long time without touching alcohol, but he was drunk
again that night.
He was drunk and fell on the bed that Reina had once laid on, holding the
pillow that she had used, but he could not fall asleep no matter what.
He watched the city lights gradually dissipate on the balcony until dawn.
In the morning, he entered the bathroom to wash up.
The razor cut his jaw, and he looked at himself in the mirror for a long time.
He took out a small blade and cut a wound on his arm.
After the blood slowly flowed out of his body, he had the feeling that he was
still alive.
He fell to the cold ground of the bathroom and became gradually unconscious. In a daze, he seemed to see Reina appear and felt so
heartbroken.
When Jaylon woke up in the hospital, Carlee was sitting next to him and
crying.
Leonard, who had always been cold to him, was also unusually silent today.
He did not scold Jaylon like before.
Anaya made a video call with him. Looking at his haggard appearance, she
wanted to say something but hesitated.
In the end, she only told him to have a good rest before hanging up the
phone.
Not long after, Jaylon was discharged from the hospital.
That afternoon, he received a call from Lacey.
Like before, Lacey was asking for money.
Lacey thought that Reina had followed him abroad to enjoy life. Every time
Lacey called, she would only ask about Reina at the beginning, and the next
second, she would immediately cut to the chase.
For so long, Reina had never responded on the phone, but Lacey never
found it strange.
Perhaps Lacey had long noticed that something had happened to Reina, but
to keep Jaylon, she kept avoiding talking about it. Probably because Jaylon was very generous when he gave Lacey the
money a few times, Lacey became more and more greedy. This time he
asked for 1.6 million dollars.
Jaylon let his subordinates transfer the money. Two days later, he asked the
lawyer to sue Lacey for extortion.
Half of the pain that Reina had suffered over the years was because of
Lacey.
Lacey was like a disgusting blood leech that had sucked away all of Reina's
vigor.
Thus, Jaylon naturally would not let her go, even though she was Reina's
mother.
The process of the case was long. Jaylon spent a bit of money to shorten
the process, and Lacey's judgment was soon coming to an end.
Lacey had been following those hooligans all these years and had committed a lot of crimes. Lacey could only spend the rest of her life in prison after Jaylon sued her.
