When I woke up again, I saw Liam looking at me with red-rimmed eyes.
The usually calm and collected Judge Liam was now just a child worried about his mother.
"Mom! You're finally awake!"
I tried to move a little, only to feel pain all over my body.
Liam hurriedly told me to rest well.
"Mom, I was planning to visit you after work today, but I saw your company in a mess, with all the equipment damaged.
I knew something must have happened to you."
"Only after asking around did I find out that you were taken away by people from Heshang Group.
What happened later? How did you sustain such severe injuries?"
Liam knew about my grudge with Heshang Group.
So when I told him everything Jasmine and Jason had done to me, his face instantly darkened, and at the same time, a raging fire burned in his eyes.
"These beasts, how dare they do this to you? I see Heshang Group simply has no regard for the law! Those torture devices don't seem to have been prepared overnight.
We must arrest them and bring them to justice!"
"Mom, don't worry.
I've already informed Big Sister and Little Brother about this.
I won't let anyone who has hurt you off the hook!"
Liam held my hand, the warm touch making me feel very secure.
He indeed kept his word.
I don't know what methods he used, but the next day, Jason was fired from the company.
At the same time, Henry Wang personally visited with Jasmine and Jason to apologize to me.
"Judge Xu, I was wrong! I failed to recognize your esteemed mother and offended her.
Please don't stoop to my level!"
Jason knelt down with a thud in front of Liam, his expression humble and apprehensive, without a trace of his previous arrogance.
Henry and Jasmine also kept saying nice things, begging the great Judge Liam to forgive and forget.
But Liam just laughed coldly, then kicked Jason in the chest.
"What's the use of apologizing to me? You need my mother's forgiveness for it to count!"
A hint of humiliation appeared on Jason's face, but he still crawled on his knees to my feet.
"I'm sorry, I was blind and offended you.
Please spare me..."
He indeed knew how to adapt to the situation.
I looked at Jason indifferently, the scars on my body still aching faintly.
At this moment, Henry spoke up, "Melinda, Jason is still your son after all.
Even a vicious tiger doesn't eat its cubs.
He's been fired now, which can be considered a deserved punishment.
You shouldn't hold it against him anymore."I looked at this ex-husband who always stayed out of things, only knowing how to find mistresses and play the nice guy.
I laughed coldly.
"When Jason and Jasmine were torturing me in every possible way, you were nowhere to be seen, Henry Wang.
Now that they've caused trouble, you have the nerve to plead for them?"
"Even a vicious tiger doesn't eat its cubs? So he can commit matricide then?! I cherish the fact that Jason is my son, but when has he ever treated me as his mother? He calls me a 'bitch' and made me crawl on a torture device.
He even wanted to ruin my face with his own hands!"
"For someone with a heart of a wolf and lungs of a dog like him, even legal sanctions are letting him off easy.
How do you expect me to forgive him?!"
I frantically vented my resentment, the pent-up frustration in my heart completely erupting at this moment.
Liam hurriedly tried to calm me down.
"You! How dare you scold me!"
After being berated by me, Jason's temper flared up again.
He stood up angrily.
"I've already apologized to you, and I've lost the job opportunity I worked so hard to get.
What more do you want from me? I'm still the heir of Heshang Group.
I advise you to show mercy when you can!"
Jasmine also sarcastically remarked from the side, "That's right, Melinda.
Jason has already been punished for what he deserves.
Don't be unreasonable!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Liam's eyes turned cold.
Then, with lightning speed, he fiercely slapped her.
