Chapter 360: Chapter 360 - Accused
The reporter’s questions were obviously scripted in advance.
Jerry Sean could tell right away, and he instinctively looked over at Klein Johansson standing nearby.
Right then, Klein Johansson was watching Jerry Sean, waiting for his response.
When their eyes locked, Klein’s face shifted slightly.
Jerry Sean’s eyes flashed with a threatening intensity.
This made cold sweat break out across Klein’s forehead!
He quickly looked away, not brave enough to meet Jerry Sean’s stare.
Pretty much everyone wanted to hear the answer to this question.
Suddenly, tons of eyes were on Jerry Sean, all waiting for what he’d say.
Even I couldn’t help but get a bit anxious.
Jerry Sean faced the camera and said calmly, "I’ll use this chance to introduce him to everyone."
After saying that, Jerry Sean looked at me, and the camera swung in my direction too.
"Mason Raymond is definitely one of the potential sons-in-law I’ve picked for the Sean Family," Jerry Sean said quietly.
When they heard this, everyone was shocked!
They couldn’t stop themselves from gasping!
Jerry Sean... he actually confirmed it?
Was I really going to be a son-in-law of the Sean family?
Vance Johansson’s face went really dark!
Even though he tried hard to hold back his rage, anger still leaked through his expression!
"As for Vance Johansson, he’s also a talented young guy I respect," Jerry Sean switched topics and said with a grin.
His vague response left people kind of confused.
"Mr. Sean, how would you pick between these two?" The host kept pushing.
Jerry Sean took a drink of water and said casually, "I’m a reasonable person. I’ll listen to my granddaughter."
Damn!
When Jerry Sean said that, almost everyone from the Johansson family’s faces went completely pale!
Everyone knew that Mabel Sean was into me.
Wasn’t Jerry Sean’s comment basically picking me?
I, standing there, breathed a sigh of relief.
Thankfulness showed on my face.
"Miss Sean, you..."
"You’ve asked plenty of questions." The reporter tried to keep going, but Jerry Sean cut him off.
The reporter looked kind of awkward and could only smile uncomfortably, "Then I won’t bug you anymore. Happy birthday again."
After dropping those words, the reporter took off quickly.
——
Klein Johansson took a long breath.
He never thought Jerry Sean would disrespect the Johansson family in front of everyone!
"That old bastard..." Klein made a fist, his eyes burning with serious killing intent.
But quickly, Klein loosened his grip.
He understood deep down that nobody dared to think about killing Jerry Sean.
The Damon family in Capital City way back when was perfect proof.
Right then, Logan Sean walked over from far away.
Seeing Logan, Klein felt like he’d found a lifeline.
He quickly dragged Logan to the side and said, "Mr. Yan, looks like Jerry Sean really cares about this Mason Raymond."
Logan didn’t seem too worried. He laughed coldly, "So? Didn’t my father leave a chance for your son?"
"You call this a chance?" Klein had to ask.
Logan huffed, "If my father hadn’t left you an opening, the Johansson family would end up just like the Damon family did back then."
Hearing this, Klein shook without meaning to, his back getting cold.
——
With loud clapping filling the manor, the birthday party officially started.
People lifted their glasses over and over and clinked them together, with some walking up now and then to give their congratulations.
The mood was warm and happy.
But my face didn’t look great.
Every so often, I glanced at Jerry Sean, my eyes full of concern.
Because... the death energy around Jerry Sean’s forehead had grown a little bigger.
His lifeline had been totally covered by the dark energy, a clear sign that death was coming.
I saw the change in Jerry Sean’s look.
Even though Jerry Sean seemed calm, he was really forcing himself to stay strong.
"Cough, cough." Right then, Jerry Sean suddenly coughed.
His face went pale right away.
I quickly put my hand on Jerry Sean’s shoulder, sending qi into his body.
Feeling the warmth, Jerry Sean patted my hand, showing he was okay.
The party went on until three in the afternoon, when it finally ended.
The guests there started leaving one by one.
It looked like Jerry Sean couldn’t keep going much longer. He looked at Logan and Mabel and said, "You two go help me say goodbye to the guests. I’m going to rest first."
"Mr. Sean, let me come with you," I offered.
Jerry Sean looked at me and nodded, "That works."
So, I gently helped Jerry Sean with soft strength.
Then, we both walked straight into the villa.
As we got into the villa, Jerry Sean waved his hand, telling me to shut the door.
The second the door closed, Jerry Sean couldn’t hold on anymore.
He dropped to the ground with a "thud," and his face instantly became worn out.
"Mr. Sean!" My face changed as I quickly helped Jerry Sean and asked worriedly, "Are you okay?"
Jerry Sean weakly waved his hand and said with great struggle, "I... I don’t think I’ll make it... Mason, you have to look after Mabel when I’m gone. She’s the one I’m most worried about..."
I gritted my teeth, stretched out my palm, and put it on Jerry Sean’s forehead, trying to force his life to last longer.
Too bad, my medical skills let me down right then, and no matter how hard I tried, nothing worked.
As I watched Jerry Sean’s life get weaker, I worried that Jerry Sean wouldn’t live more than three days at this speed.
I helped Jerry Sean onto the bed and sat next to him, frantically looking through the heritage for a way to extend life.
Just then, the room door opened.
Logan Sean and others stormed in.
Seeing Jerry Sean lying in bed, Logan’s eyes got narrow, and he yelled, "Mason, what did you do to my father!"
I was shocked and quickly explained, "No, Jerry Sean’s health is getting worse, and I’m trying to save him..."
"Bullshit!" Logan sneered.
"My father was perfectly fine just now. How could he suddenly get so weak?"
"I think you’re trying to hurt my father! You low and shameless guy!"
Hearing this, I figured out what was happening.
Logan was purposely trying to set me up.
"Grandpa!" Seeing this scene, Mabel ran to Jerry Sean’s side.
"Grandpa, what... what’s wrong with you?" Mabel’s voice was full of worry and fear, and she seemed totally lost about what to do.
Logan said coldly, "Mabel, is this the guy you like? Someone with evil plans?!"
