Chapter 96: A Visit to Ned Jason

Emily glanced at her husband, her heart almost skipped. She knows things she’d never known? Who told her, how did she know what she and Ned have tried all these years to keep away from her.

“I have come to take over everything that rightly belonged to me. The house, the cars, the savings and the whole jewellery owned by my mother. Hand them over now, Ned Jason” Arianna declared and stood up again.

She looked around the house as if she’d left the house before. Her childhood memories are all buried in that house. The vague memory of her mother that she has, was in that house.

There isn’t a part of that house that she doesn’t know. She left many years ago, because Emily would have killed her, if she didn’t. She made her life a hell and Ned Jason never seemed to see it.

He couldn’t see it , indeed. Now, she understands why he was blind to his wife’s torturing her. There are a few things she understands now that she didn’t seem to understand a few years ago.

“What nonsense are you talking about, Arianna? This house belongs to me and everything that’s inside. So watch your words” Ned Jason put up a verbal resistance.

“Dad, Mom, throw this filthy woman out of here. I won’t be quiet if she says anything irrational” Elisa Jason fumed in rage.

“You wait and see who will be thrown out, you little puppy. You and your damn miserable parents are going to leave my house when my lawyer arrives.

Meanwhile Ned Jason, tell everything you know about my Mom and the man who is my father” Arianna snapped at them, staring from parents to their daughter and finally resting his gaze on Ned Jason.

“I am your father…” Ned said and Arianna snapped “Foster father. I want to know everything you can tell me about my real dad, if you know a thing, though”

Elisa hissed and stomped her feet in displeasure before storming off. Emily eyed Arianna and hissed between gritted teeth but wouldn’t leave the pair alone.

“I don’t know what you are talking about, ” Ned Jason said and stood up from the dining table.

“Then get ready to vacate my property and refund all that was put in your possession. I was supposed to get them when I turned 18. But now, I’ve long past that age. My lawyer will contact you” Arianna announced and turned around walking out of the door.

Ned turned and glared at her retreating back view. This woman had known he’s not her father, that her Mom left her entire belongings in her name and made him a caretaker until she’s 18.

But then, he doesn’t own any of the property. For her to have talked this way, it means she not only knows everything but has documents backing her actions.

He must answer her immediately, otherwise he wouldn’t be in a serious mess. He cannot contend with her. She’s not a kid anymore.

Just as Arianna would get into her car, Ned Jason stepped out. He was shocked when he saw the car Arianna was stepping in. Where on earth did she get such an expensive car?

CEO Jace Hudson would probably have rewarded her for saving his life. She’s lucky. He would always listen to her. This also is bad for him if he doesn’t cooperate with her.

“Please, Wait Arianna” Ned Jason called out to her.

Arianna cleaned her tears and sniffled as Jerome drove the car. Even Ned Jason didn’t know who her father was. How can there not be a clue?

Her father hurt her. From what Ned Jason said, she deliberately didn’t let him know about her and wouldn’t let her know about him as well.

Is her father happy now, with her mom’s friend? He did that to her. Why would he do it and yet get the nerves to kick his seed inside her belly. That seed is her.

Amidst the disappointment Arianna got from Ned Jason’s words, she got into her office and was dazed to see the last person she ever thought will be waiting to see her.

“How did she get that car?” Emily quickly asked Ned, as soon as he walked back in. She also peeped and saw the car that Arianna brought.

Even if she sold her soul to be buttered, she would never be able to buy such a car. If she, Ned, Elisa and Arianna herself were taken for auction at the city square, the price placed on each of them would not be enough to buy that car, if put together.

“I also asked her that question” Ned Jason replied, settling into the sofa. That day, he finally uttered the words Susan begged him to keep safe. She called him her “her secret safe”

She said Money and great possessions can be kept in a safe. Locked up where on one could easily access it. But he was her safe, where the secret bothering her mind should be kept.

He should keep the secret safe in the lock of his heart. But he let that lock open and told Arianna the secret. She was desperate, she wanted to find her father, after all, he had never really acted like a true father to her.

“Just tell me already, what was her response? How did she get that car?” Emily was curious. She came over and sat on the edge of the sofa, her curious eyes fixed on Ned as if she’s going to slip into his heart and force the words out of his lips.

“The man she saved compensated her with it and told her never to come before him again” Ned Jason replied.
