I Only Want You novel Chapter 829

After saying this, John narrowed his eyes, "You can't be so selfish."

Albert was shocked. His body trembled, and he suddenly didn't know what to say.

Zena knelt on the ground, shuddering. She felt a great chill run down her spine.

Xavier breathed a sigh of relief. He was grateful and moved.

How could Jodie accept what John had said? She was so excited that she blurted out, "I told you that Zena has realized her mistake! Why are you so aggressive? Xavier is fine now! How can you bully my family like this? You ruined our company in order to make yourselves happy! Now you even want to bully my daughter? Selfish? Who is the selfish one? You're going too far!"

Albert pursed his lips. For fear that Jodie would anger John completely, he had no choice but to remind her, "Stop!"

At this time, how could Jodie be persuaded so easily? She opened her eyes wide and kept yelling, "Why should I stop? They have really gone too far!" Saying this, she gasped and pulled Zena, "Get up!"

Zena was pulled to stand up, but she still lowered her head.

"John, if we can discuss this matter in a nice way, we can still be friends."

John was unhappy. At this time, he didn't want to respect Albert said directly, "Sorry, I don't care if you're my friend." He didn't need to have many friends, but his friends must be upright. Since Albert could not distinguish right from wrong, he disdained to be friends with him.

"You..." Jodie paused and then became even angrier. She said without thinking, "Of course you don't care. What is our status now? We are poor people. How can we have the qualification to be friends with you? John, I didn't expect you to be so snobbish! You're proud, but so what? You help Xavier, but so what? He's not your son! Why are you acting like a kind father? He's just a poor man without parents! You're too..."

"Bang!"

John slapped on the tea table with a loud sound.

Jodie was dumbfounded and looked up, only to see that John's face darkened and his eyes were filled with rage.

All of a sudden, the whole room became terribly quiet.

John looked at Jodie, "Watch your mouth! Over the years, you're the first one who dares to speak to me in such a manner." As he said this, he stood up and walked to Xavier. He grabbed Xavier's hand and pinched it tightly, "He's not my biological son, but he's my son. He's Jimmy's older brother. He has parents and has been instructed by parents since he was young. You'd better know this."

His tone was neither angry nor pleased, and he didn't speak very fast. However, each of his words was like a heavy hammer, hitting Albert and Jodie's hearts and making it difficult for them to breathe.

"Albert." John turned to look at Albert, "you and I have known each other for many years, and you know my temperament. My son has suffered so much pain because of your daughter. Even I can't forgive Zena, not to mention Xavier. I can't just let my son get hurt and let him be magnanimous."

"Well..."

"So, as for the two requirements that Xavier just mentioned, you can choose one. I won't say anything else to you."

John's words meant that there was no turning back for them.

"Albert!" Jodie screamed and rushed over to hold on to Albert's arm, "Say something!

Hurry up!"

He had let go of the burden in his heart. It was time for him to get rid of his pain.

Albert stood aside and couldn't move. His heart was full of pain and helplessness, but he did not know what he could say or do.

John didn't think there was anything improper. He looked at James and said, "Jimmy, I'll leave here to you and go back first." After that, he said to Xavier, "Let's go. You're tired. Come home with me."

It was not until John and Xavier left that Jodie seemed to truly come back to sense. She could not accept such a fact, grabbed her hair with both hands and screamed regardless of her image.

As for Albert, he staggered a few times and finally fell down on the sofa. He looked extremely dejected and his face was very grieved.

Zena took a deep breath, "Dad, mom... don't be like this. They are right. Since I did something wrong, I should admit it." Although she said so, she thought, "Even if I don't want to admit it, I have to, because I have no choice."

She had made a mistake, and she couldn't let her parents live a bad life. Well... after she was imprisoned, her parents would not feel good. But, there was nothing she could do.

"Zena, you're too stupid!" Jodie said with tears, "How could you..."

"Mom, it won't be long. Don't think about hiring a lawyer for me. It's useless. You and dad... wait for me to come out..."

After that, she turned around to look at James and forced a smile, "What are you going to do next? Will you send to jail directly? I... have no objection."

James was silent for a while. In the end, he looked at Richard aside, "Richard, let them in."
