Chapter 1490: Chapter 1490

Jason narrowed his dark eyes and stared at Secretary Wang. “Is that so? You didn’t know she escaped?”

“No, I didn’t,” Secretary Wang insisted and said.

“Okay. You told my men that you wouldn’t say anything until you saw me, so why don’t you tell me right now what you wanted to say?” said Jason.

“Old Master Reed said if Grace found out the truth after his death but chose to stay with you, then he’d like to make a bet with you.”

“A bet?” Jason was stunned for a moment.

Secretary Wang said, “Yes, a bet! Young Master, Old Master Reed wants to bet whether you’re willing to give up your life for a woman just like your father previously did.”

Jason’s expression sank immediately. “What does this mean?” After all, the old master was no longer around. Besides, how was he going to bet on such a thing?

Secretary Wang tugged the corners of his lips, smiling without saying a word. However, it was a bit creepy when he showed such a smile on his battered and swollen face.

“Tell me, what do you mean?” Jason’s voice was deep. His cold and indifferent gaze suddenly sharpened.

Secretary Wang said, “Young Master, you’ll find out when the time comes. Old Master Reed only hoped you could bear in mind your father’s lesson-to die for a woman is to die for nothing.”

“You have no right to say what will become of me!” Jason stepped forward and grabbed Secretary Wang’s collar. “You’d better tell me what Old Master Reed told you to do, or you’ll only suffer.”

retary Wang spoke as if he was not concerned, “I worked for Old Master Reed when I was penniless, and he saved my life. Now that the old master is gone, of course, I’ll do whatever he told me to do.

Young Master, I’ve already told you what I should. I won’t tell you what I shouldn’t. You’ll find out when the time comes.”

Jason pressed his thin lips tightly. He knew Secretary Wang well. Among the people around the old master, Secretary Wang was the most loyal to him.

‘What did the old master… tell him to do?

‘A bet?

‘Grandpa’s dead now, yet he still wanted to bet whether I’d give up my life for a woman? How is Grandpa going to bet me on this? Whatever the bet, the woman involved… is Grace!

‘Grace?’ Jason suddenly shuddered as he thought of something. Suddenly, he took out his phone and dialed Grace’s phone number.

However, there was no answer from the other end of the line.

2/2 Jason’s face immediately turned grim. Terrence also seemed to realize something and said quickly, “Master Reed…”

“Contact the people at the residence immediately and ask them to ascertain Grace’s status. Also, enhance the security near the bedroom,” ordered Jason.

“Yes!” Terrence replied immediately.

He hurriedly took his phone to call the mansion’s chief of security and began to give orders.

However, moments later, Terrence’s face suddenly paled. He panicked and said to Jason urgently, “Oh no, Master Reed! Young Madam is missing!”

“What?” Jason suddenly grabbed Terrence’s phone and asked the person on the other end of the line sternly, “What’s the matter? Where’s Young Madam? Is she no longer in the residence?”
