NovelEnglishChapter 40 An hidden truth
Elle opened her closed eyes and then looked up at him. Langford was groaning, throwing his head backwards. Then her eyes
trailed down to where she shot him and she realised that she shot him on the leg.
Elle heaved a sigh of relief and then brought down her hands still glaring at Langford.
"I could have killed you but you are still very useful to me.." She said.
"J.. just kill me.." Langford begged with his eyes closed.
Elle smirked.
"Well, I won't. I will kill you when I'm done using you..." Elle said and then turned to leave but Langford's voice stopped her.
'If you know what is best for you at the moment, then stop. Stop this revenge of yours. James Madison is more dangerous than
you think. If he can kill his wi..." Langford's voice trailed off and Elle turned back sharply.
She rushed to him and held him. That was when she discovered he was unconscious already.
"No! What's was he about to say? He was saying something important..' She told herself.
"Hey.." She called tapping him lightly.
"Mr. Mayor, continue. Go ahead with what you were saying!" She snapped at him but there was no response.
Elle sighed and stood straight and that was when it hit her. She remembered his words again.
"If he can kill his wi.."
Her eyes widened.
"Was he talking about his wife?" She asked herself.
"But then, Lauren is his wife. So how then is she alive? Dang! This is confusing.." She says and loosened her hair.
"Could it be that he was talking of his late wife, Jason's mum? But didn't she commit suicide?"
Elle sighed and then walked out of the room. She didn't even bother to even tell Blade she was leaving.
She just walked out. After getting to the place, she parked her car. She hopped in and started her journey back.
"My mum committed suicide. She and Dad were having issues at that time. They both were at fault in this case. The both of them
were too arrogant to apologise to each other. I was in my elementary school when it happened. I came back from school and met
the police and Media at our house. I just only saw my mum's lifeless body laid on a stretcher and my dad was beside her
weeping terribly.."
"I also cried bitterly. It created a void in me that no one else could replace.." Jason sniffs.
"But then, I remember the doctor saying that the autopsy results was different from what people are saying.."
"And then, my dad got married again within three months.."
Elle sighed and placed her hand on the sterling.
"You bastard! James! I can't believe you did this to your own wife! The mother of your son!" She yelled angrily and hit the sterling
hard.
"You made Jason motherless. You deprived him of his mum's love.." Elle says and she didn't know when tears ran down her
cheeks. She took her phone and then dailed Damien's number.
He answered the call immediately.
"Pretty.." He called.
"Find out the date when Mrs Sarah Madison died, how she died. Everything that happened.." Elle said with a cold look.
"Hey, what happened? You are sounding cold?" He asked.
"I have my suspicions. James Madison killed his wife.."
"Wait, what?"
"I don't understand! I mean why would he do that?" Damien asked..
"For the bitch, Lauren Madison. So they can be together.." Elle said.
"Let's both dig deep into this information. I promise to find out all that happened.." Elle said and hung up.

JASON'S MANSION.
He stopped typing and then he smiled when he remembered her.
His phone rang. It was his assistant calling. Jason rolled his eyes and then answered it.
"I'm busy.." He cut in immediately.
"Boss, Miss Giselle and her dad are here to see you in the office.."
"I'm not interested.." He said and then hung up.
"That girl clearly doesn't know when to give up.." He mumbled as he used his right thumb to caress his lower lip.
He sighed out and then rounded up the work he was doing on it. Then he closed it.
He picked up his phone and then smiled.
"It's just two days to Asanel's birthday..' He thought.
Then he remembered Elle.
"I don't know if I'm just feeling this way but she reminds of Asanel. Sometimes her words, her expression reminds me of her. She
can't be sassy and rude but at the same time, cute and extremely soft hearted. That's also Asanel's personality.."
"Maybe that's why I'm drawn to her and that's why I'm falling for her.." He sighed out.
"I really hate it when someone behaves like Asanel but strangely, I'm really liking it now.."
His phone rang again and he scoffed when he saw that it was still his manager. He rejected the call immediately.
"I don't know what it's his problem.." He said.
His phone rang again and he sighed. He was about to reject it when he saw who was calling. His eyes widened immediately.
"Elle.."
Then he answered the call.
He wasn't even chanced to talk because her voice came in immediately.
"Jason, are you in? I'm in front of your house. I need to see you.." She said and his eyes widened the more.
"What?!" He asked surprised.
"How did you get my house address?" He asked.
"From your assistant. Stop asking questions and come out already.." She whined and he chuckled.
"I'm coming out, okay." He said and then stood up immediately. Then he hung up.
"What? She's here? Is she a witch or what? How did she know I was thinking of her?" He asked himself and then sighed out.
"I'm going crazy because of her.
