The Wicked Wife 2

Chapter 204: Two Unfortunate Souls

Suzy knew that she was somewhat lucky that the man who came to see her tonight was a decent man. She also knew that if he was like any other man who viewed women as a plaything, she was utterly doomed for the rest of her life. Still, she knew that she cannot lower her guard just yet and that she needed to keep an eye on this mysterious man.

"Please say something." She said, forcing herself to stay awake and not fall asleep. It didn't help that her whole body felt good after the massage she received earlier and the scent of the room was lulling her to sleep.

"What do you want me to say?" The man asked her instead.

"I don't know. I don't want to fall asleep now, and I'm not sure when the effects of the drug will subside so I can move."

Jackson cocked his head to one side, hiding his scarred face from her as he pondered what he should say now. Unlike Song Yiran, who was the ladies' man in their brotherhood, or Ming Yu, who was known for his charming looks, he had no idea how to strike or lead a conversation, especially with a woman.

"I… I have no idea." He grumbled.

This was actually the first time he had a decent conversation with a woman and Jackson hated that he couldn't even initiate a simple conversation as she requested.

"Hmm... it's unfair, you know." He heard Suzy say.

He gave her a side glance, noticing that she was looking at him, making him uncomfortable in his seat.

"What's unfair?" Jackson curiously asked.

"You know my name and I don't even know yours." She answered.

Jackson considered her words. She wasn't lying to him about being drugged and falling into her sister's trap, but he wasn't sure if he should allow her to know more about him. He might be undesirable, but he was not a liar.

"I'm Jackson Wang. I'm the owner of this place. Mr. Wan, who kidnapped you and took you here, wanted to gain my favor for a business deal, but I disliked him from the moment I met him and it only made me decide not to get more involved with him because of you."

He wasn't sure why he said those words, but that was truly what he was thinking at that moment.

"Ah, so you're a big shot, huh? I should have known. They spoke of you like you were a really big deal. No wonder that Mr. Wan wanted to get acquainted with you."

He scoffed at that. "I don't associate myself with people like him. If I want to expand my business, surely there's another person who can help me that doesn't involve kidnapping and scheming."

Jackson paused as something crossed his mind.

"What about your little sister? Is this the first time she has done something like this towards you? Couldn't you just tell your parents what she has done tonight? Surely they wouldn't let her off the hook considering what she'd done is a crime."

Suzy smiled bitterly. She had long accepted that she and her father would never reconcile and that she shouldn't raise her expectations when it comes to him.

"Half-sister." She explained. "My mom died when I was very young and my father remarried. As for informing him what transpired tonight, I'm pretty sure he would take my sister's side rather than believing my claim. You see, Min Ah was the dotted daughter, a jewel in my father's eyes."

"But you are also his daughter." Jackson retorted. It wasn't like he'd never heard of this kind of situation before. Half siblings, especially from wealthy families rarely get along.
