Chapter 887 The Sadness In His Eyes (Part One)

"So many years have passed since your love for Jackson developed, haven't you yet gotten tired of

trying to frame him?" Mond couldn't understand what Sally's motives were and so he continued to

persuade her to change her mind, "You must know that Jackson had never loved you and the only

woman he ever loved is and always will be Cherry! You repeatedly say that you love him, and if that is

true then you should wish him happiness in his life, shouldn't you? Now he is living a peaceful and

happy life, why are you trying to disturb him?"

"Because I did not get to live a happy life!" Sally retorted immediately. "Do you even have a small idea

of what kind of a life I have lived? I am scared every day and remain in a state of apprehension every

moment of my life. I fear that any fine day I would be either killed by the policemen or captured by the

underworld gangs operating here. He abandoned me like he was throwing away a burden. Do you

really think that I would want to wish him happiness?"

"If you had left the city to start a new life, I am sure that by now you would have started living a

completely different life. You could have found another man, got married and had a child of your own.

Life would have been beautiful, wouldn't it?" said Mond. He tried to help Sally change her mind and

thus was encouraging her to move on, just like what he himself had done. He had changed completely

from a cruel man who just wanted to take revenge from Jackson to a great father who always wanted

to protect his family.

His words touched Sally's heart a little bit and her eyes softened as tears appeared in them. But they

were very subtle and you couldn't notice them if you didn't take a closer look.

"It's useless! You know my only hope was and is Jackson. I can't live without him," Sally said while

shaking her head. Since a young age, she had been in love with Jackson and that love of hers would

never end. Her heart had been completely captured by him and even if she tried to forget everything,

her heart would never give her permission to do so.Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.

Mond was silent, not knowing what to say now. He had known about Sally's love for Jackson. She was

just too stubborn! Now, Sally was back and she had ulterior motives in her mind, only she knew what

she was planning and it would not be nice that he was sure of. She must have had someone powerful

backing her, or she wouldn't be capable of creating so many problems here.

"Don't try to mess with the kids, okay? They are innocent!" Mond tried to be calm, trying his best to

persuade her.

Sally shook her head while staring at the floor, muttering, "It's too late for that." She suddenly had a

fierce look on her face and said, "I have planned for everything and it won't stop unless..."

"Unless what?" Mond asked anxiously. A glimmer of hope started to arouse in his heart and he eagerly

looked at Sally for some chances of letting things go.

"Unless I die!" Sally said calmly.

Mond felt a pang in his heart and he wanted to say something, but words were failing him. 'Something

must be done about this soon!' Mond sighed in his heart.

"You shouldn't have come back this time!" said Mond.

"Now that I am back, I will not care about the consequences," Sally said with a resolute?expression on

her face. The hatred in her eyes was burning and she clenched her teeth. "Jackson...Jackson! At the

end of this, one shall stand, and one shall fall! Be prepared for what is coming!"

"I can bet that you will be the one who has to fall!" Mond spoke out his mind.

"Perhaps," Sally replied, knowing clearly what consequences she could face.

"You are no match for Lawrence in this fight because he is too intelligent and resourceful. He will outwit

you! Even my brother Jackson cannot be called his opponent in the true sense! You can't even imagine

how powerful and mighty he is!" Mond continued to tell Sally. Since earlier they both had worked

together he wanted her to be safe, and thus he was trying all that was possible in him to stop her.

Sally didn't utter a word after hearing Mond's comments on Lawrence. She knew he was telling the

truth and she actually was frightened too. Even if Lawrence was not in the city, she couldn't fight Mike.

She couldn't imagine what she would have to do to stand up against them especially when Lawrence

was back! But she had no choice, she must carry out her plans immediately as she wanted to take

advantage of Lawrence's absence. Whatever would happen, she had to try because if Lawrence was

back she was doomed to fail! At present, if she was lucky, she may be successful at her plans; but if

bad lack fell on, it may cost her life!

"Though Lawrence was abroad and had not returned home for a long time, he was still controlling

everything. We all are not clear what his circle of friends are nor what he has been doing, but we know

that he is still very powerful and capable. No one knows what his actions are and I am afraid only he

and Mike know it, even my brother doesn't know." Mond continued to tell her.

"If I am not wrong, Lawrence must have known at the beginning that I have sent someone to track

him," Sally was quite sure about it. "Just a little while ago, one of my missions in Israel failed and I

doubt it's because of Lawrence. I not only have lost a huge sum of money but was almost caught by

the policemen. Now I am quite sure that he is the person behind it."

"Are you really sure?" Mond asked, with a tinge of?surprise in his voice.

"90% sure! No, 100%! It must have been him! Several of my small missions have also failed and that

proves his actions! I doubt that the people who cooperated with me are all related to Lawrence. Though

I had spent lots of money to establish a cooperative relationship with them, they promised and they

didn't do it as per my request because their real owner is Lawrence!" Sally said quite assured as she

recalled how all her plans had failed in the past.

"Since you know by now how capable he is, why not leave this place before he returns?" Mond

suggested. After all, he had once saved her and he really didn't want to see her die a sad death. That

would be very cruel!

Sally just shook her head and said, "It's too late now!"

"Then what's your next action going to be? Have you arranged for everything in advance?" Mond could

tell from Sally's tone that she had arranged everything by now and it was only time when things would

start working as per her plan.

"Yes, you are right! Since this is a rare opportunity, why shouldn't I take advantage of it?" Sally retorted.
