All Chapters of In The End, All Ties Are Severed: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Zach found Jason sitting on the rooftop, smoking. The ground around him was littered with cigarette butts. Smoke coiled thickly in the air, shrouding him like a ghost on the verge of drifting away. Zach’s brows furrowed deeply. He walked over and stood beside him. He asked grimly, “When do you plan to marry Cindy? The news is already out, but you have not made a move. Are you still not going to confirm it?”Jason narrowed his eyes slightly. His expression remained cold, but there was a flicker of hesitation in his gaze. He paused for a long time before replying in a hoarse voice, “We will talk about it later.” “Later?” Zach’s expression darkened with visible frustration. “I said nothing when you let Yvonne go. But Hannah’s only wish was for you to settle down and be happy. If you are still thinking about that woman, then Hannah will never rest in peace. And I will never agree to it.” Jason pressed his lips together and lowered his gaze. There was a hollow and weightless empt

Jason was lost in thought for a long while. By the time he returned to his senses, the young couple was already gone.The image lingering in his mind slowly faded as well. He lowered his gaze and let out a dry and bitter laugh. How did the girl he once wanted to protect with all his heart become someone so detestable? His expression darkened as he headed back to the office. Just then, his phone rang.“Mr. Fender? We have a package that requires your signature in person.” The delivery had been sent to his old villa. Jason had not ordered anything recently, but still, he made his way back to check. He had not expected the delivery to be so formal. A suited man held a tray carefully while following an elderly gentleman. The elder had silvered hair and was in a pristine suit. He stepped forward as soon as he saw Jason.“May I ask if you’re Mr. Fender?” Jason nodded. The old man gave a small smile, then instinctively glanced behind him. “Is Miss Xander home?” Jason’s expressi

After the phone was sent in for repairs, Jason visibly thinned in just a few days. He still went to work as usual. He still handled matters with his usual order and precision. But he grew quieter with each passing day. Eric was the first to sense something was off. The man before him looked as if his soul had been drained, leaving behind nothing but a wandering shell.Once, when Jason sat at his desk staring blankly into space, Eric finally spoke up, “Mr. Fender, did something happen recently?” Jason shot him a cold glance. “You seem to have too much time on your hands.” Eric immediately fell silent. But the question kept spinning in his mind. ‘Did he fight with Miss Yates?’ At last, Jason received a call. His subordinate informed him that the phone had been repaired. Though many functions were permanently damaged, most of the backups had been recovered. Jason had no idea what kind of emotions he was experiencing as he went to pick up the phone. He did not turn it on

At that moment, Jason’s face went completely pale. Every last trace of color drained away. His body faltered and stumbled forward. “Jason, if you hate her so much, why are you still hung up on her? You are such a fraud! “Weren’t we putting on a show to make her leave? Now that she’s gone, what are you doing here, what is all this fake guilt for?!” Cindy’s voice was growing louder and sharper. Even in the pulsing chaos of the club, people started to turn and stare. “Shut up!” With a violent crash, Jason flipped the table. Cindy jumped. Her face went stark white as she stumbled back a step. Jason looked like a beast cornered and driven mad. His eyes were bloodshot. It felt as though he would lunge forward and tear out her throat in the next second. She finally sensed the danger, staggered back, and bolted out of the bar.The vein at Jason’s temple throbbed violently. It felt as if a knife had pierced straight through his skull, and the pain was so sharp that he could hardl

Zach looked at Jason like he was a lost cause.Disappointment clouded his eyes. His voice was harsh with bitterness. “Jason, you have completely lost your mind.”Jason lay sprawled on the floor with a blank expression. The ceiling light above him burned with blinding brightness.“You would throw away the entire Fender’s Corporation for Yvonne?”Jason’s voice was low and wrecked. “This is what I deserve… I still hold some of Hannah’s shares. I will give them to you too. Consider it part of my repentance.”“Do you think that is enough to atone?!” Zach’s fury twisted his features. “You are not worthy of being Hannah’s brother. You betrayed her. Get out. Get out now!”By the end, he was nearly screaming.Jason forced himself upright. Then he turned and walked out the door without hesitation.He had made his choice. From that moment on, he would face whatever came, so long as it led him back to Yvonne.That door was a shackle, and he had finally broken free. He would no longer lie
