Second Chance At Love

Chapter 100

Jason pursed his thin lips tightly. His gaze shifted between Sophia and Ada, as if he was pondering whom to save

Luna wanted to rush over, but she was stopped by the people in black shirts on both sides.

In her anxiety, she suddenly turned around and looked at Jason, who was beside her. Seeing that he was hesitating, she could not help but exclaim, “Jason, are you going to abandon your wife to save your mistress?”

Jason clenched his fists hanging by his side. After a moment of silence, he said coldly to Lucas, “Till give you another 40 million dollars.

Release both of them.” Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

Upon hearing this, Lucas laughed out loud again

“It turns out that these two women are equally important to him, he thought. That’s just perfect. I’ll release one of them today and keep the other to ensure my safety. Once I safely leave Cester City, I’ll figure out how to deal with the other one.”

“Stop bargaining,” he said. “Tonly want 60 million dollars. Choose one of them. As for the other one, transfer another 40 million dollars after ! leave Cester City, I’ll then consider whether or not to release her!

After Ada, whose hands were tied, heard the latter part of Lucas’s remark, a trace of hatred flashed across her eyes.

She thought, ‘This scumbag. He has clearly agreed to get rid of Sophia after things are settled, but he’s greedy and wants to extort another sum of money. Damn it. But now isn’t the time to dwell on this. I’ve got to think of a way to make Jason save me. This way, I can stay alive and completely estrange him from Sophia.

“Jason, don’t worry about me,” she said. “Save Sophis first. Miss Baker was right just now Sophia is your lawful wife, while I’m just an unpresentable mistress. I’m not worth you saving me i sacrificed myself to save you five years ago. It’s God’s mercy now that I can carry your child. I don’t dare to ask for more. Sophia is your wife it’s only right that you save her.”

She intentionally or unintentionally mentioned that Jason was beholden to her after she saved him five years ago. She also brought up the illegitimate child in her womb. It was nothing more than an attempt to arouse Jason’s pity.

Luna cursed fiercely, saying, “Damn angelic bitch! She wanted to blurt out to Jason that it was Sophia who saved him five years ago and that Sophia was carrying his child as well.

But when her gaze met Sophia’s downcast eyes, she restrained her impulse just in time.

She thought, “This man is only worthy of being kept in the dark and fooled by the angelic bitch. As for the truth, I’ll wait for the right moment in the future to reveal it, aiming to deal him a significant blow.‘

“Why are you hesitating?” she said. “The mistress has a good understanding of what is right and just. You should fulfill her sincerity. Jason, Sophia has been married to you for four years. You can’t abandon her.”

Jason frowned, a hint of struggle flashing across his eyes.

On his way here, he had already guessed that Lucas would not release two people at the same time because he still needed bargaining chips to leave Cester City.

He could only save one person in today’s trip unless he took drastic measures and opened fire on Lucas.

But bullets could unintentionally harm inocent people. He could not guarantee the safety of the hostages during a shootout

The most prudent approach was to save one person today, then let Lucas take the other one to leave Cester City and wait for Lucas to call back to make another deal in the future.

He had plenty of money. It wouldn’t hurt to offer several tens of m

and Ada were unharmed.

millions of dollars more. The only requirement was to ensure that Sophia

Ada had saved his life. He was beholden to her. Now that she was pregnant with his child, he could not abandon her.

As for Sophia, even if he was unwilling to face it, he could not change the fact that he had already cared about her. Even more so, there was no way he would abandon her.

Weighing the options of saving Sophia or Ada, he found himself unable to make a decision momentarily

Seeing that he was silent, Luna grabbed his wrist and said sternly, “You should know my identity, right? If you dare to abandon Sophia, I’ll get him to put you in deep shit.”

This “him” clearly referred to West.

Jason glanced at Luna coldly, abruptly shook off her hand, and said, “You don’t have the ability to influence his decisions.”

He thought, ‘It’s not that I look down on her. West has been influential in the underworld for many years, and he handles things with great authority and fierceness. There’s no way he would be easily controlled by a woman.

Luna was furious, but when she thought of West’s coldness, she could not help but feel sad

She thought, ‘Jason’s words make sense. The naive youth from eight years ago is already dead. Instead, the person who is alive now is someone who terrifies both the criminal underworld and the law–abiding society. He no longer has any admiration for me, only a sense of taking something from me. So, after getting what he wanted from me, he was able to decisively dump me without the slightest hesitation.

“Enough,” Lucas said, interjecting to stop their bickering. “Hurry up and make a decision. I don’t have the patience to chat with you here.”

Luna and Jason fell silent.

As Ada glanced sideways at Sophia, who lowered her head slightly and considered herself morally superior, a trace of mockery flashed across

her eyes.

She thought, “This bitch disdains using self–injury tricks. Then, she’ll just have to obediently accept death.”

“Jason, I don’t want to make things difficult for you,” she said. “After I die, you must make sure to collect my corpse. It’s too cold here.”

With that said, she suddenly turned around and forcefully slammed against the wall behind her.

With a muffled thud, blood splattered everywhere.
