chapter2123

At the club, Jason stood behind Chelsea with one hand covering the wound on his forehead. His expression was dazed.

Chelsea turned to him. "Let's go to the hospital and get that bandaged up."

Jason stared blankly at her, then said, "No need. It's just a minor wound."

Chelsea frowned. "Your head is bleeding, so how can it be a minor wound?"

As she spoke, she took a tissue from her handbag and offered it to Jason. "Here, wipe it."

Jason stared at her slender hand and only took the tissue after a long moment. "Thank you."

"You're welcome." Chelsea beamed at him.

She had thought that Jason would be less cold toward her after this incident. However, Jason used the tissue to perfunctorily wipe the blood from his hand before starting to walk away. "I'm going back to work."

Chelsea quickly called out to him, "How can you still go to work when you're injured? You should rest."

Jason paused in his tracks. "No, I need to work to earn money."

"If it's just about money, I'll give it to you," Chelsea said casually. The measly money Jason earned was nothing to her.

Jason's brows furrowed deeply. He turned to look at Chelsea, a hint of

displeasure flashing in his charming eyes.

Chelsea's heart skipped a beat under his gaze, and she immediately explained, "I didn't mean anything by it. I just wanted to thank you properly."

"No need," Jason uttered simply.

With that, Chelsea watched Jason disappear from her sight.

For some reason, her heart felt a little empty, and she regretted what she had just said.

Jason was too proud to accept her charity.

At that moment, the club manager

walked over, smiling place

"Ms. Rainsworth Jason sure is ungrateful, but don't be upset w? have many other handsome young men here."

Chelsea looked at him coldly. "That won't be necessary."

The manager's face stiffened, but he didn't give up.

Lowering his voice, he said, "Ms. Rainsworth, if you truly are interested in Jason, I

might have a way to help you out."

Chelsea's interest was instantly piqued. "Oh? And what would that be?"

"Jason's family members are very straight. They repeatedly come to

him for money, and there's no way for him to get rid of them, the manager revealed. fo

After a pause, the manager added, "If you can help him resolve the issue with his family, he will definitely be grateful to you."

"Is that so?" Chelsea pondered. "Thank you. If it works, I'll thank you properly."

"It's my honor to be of assistance to you, Ms. Rainsworth," the manager replied. The manager was willing to help Chelsea mainly because he saw how close she was to Madeline.

Chelsea had actually asked someone to look into Jason's background, but the only information she got was that he was an orphan.

Hence, she asked the manager for more details and learned that Jason's family was his foster parents.

Without hesitation, she dispatched people to locate Jason's foster parents.

Jason's foster parents lived nearby to get money from him, so finding them was easy.

Chelsea simply had someone give a

large sum of money to the couple with one condition: that, they stay

away from Jason and never bother him again.

Jason's foster parents nodded repeatedly upon receiving the money, promising never to appear before Jason again.

Late that night, Chelsea shared the incident in her group chat with Cecilia and the others.

When Cecilia saw what Chelsea wrote, she felt that something was amiss, but couldn't quite put her finger on it.
