Chapter 1192 - Christopher (3)



Jeff is in the jet, reading through the reports while heading back to Los Angeles.

Acquisitions of companies are going as planned, Jeff is satisfied that they turned this situation from defending from Marcus into growing the company and influence.

Oscar called (more than once) to praise Jeff\'s performance.

Moles from White corp. and the White foundation are apprehended and interrogated by Mason. As results of those interrogations, Mason reports daily new names of people who were involved in this plot, but they were not directly taking any action. Jeff sneered when he found out how many people helped Marcus from the shadows, driven by their greed but too afraid to make an appearance. Aiden, Mason and Ryder are collaborating perfectly in cleaning up that scum.

Samara is producing better results than Jeff expected. She is enjoying her role of a compassionate daughter and sister, and obedient cousin. Samara alone gave Jeff several points on the popularity scale of netizens and that increased appeal of White corp. as well. Jeff took a note to give her a bonus as a reminder that her performance is not unnoticed.

Marcus and Lukas are in Dr. Siltanen\'s mental institution, and Jeff plans to go and visit them. Some day. He asked Oscar if he wants to go and visit his brother, but Oscar didn\'t respond. Well, Jeff can imagine that it\'s not easy. If that is Aiden acting against him, he would not be sure how to face his brother either.

Jeff cringed internally as images of Jessica\'s abused body flashed in his mind. Ever since he saw her there, he can\'t shake off the gruesome feeling which makes him slightly nauseated. Dr. Siltanen consulted a number of experts and they assured Jeff that after few minor surgeries, there will be no scars visible on her body. But they are not sure about her mind. Her eyes are empty, and she is barely responsive. Dr. Siltanen is not optimistic that she can make a full recovery.

All this mess which his Uncle started is wearing Jeff down and he is happy that the end is in sight.

Jeff\'s phone pulled him out of his thoughts. He smiled when he saw the caller\'s ID.

"Why are you not sleeping?", Jeff asked as soon as he picked up JoAnna\'s call.

"I can\'t sleep. It\'s too early and I miss my husband. Your babies miss their daddy as well."

"Mhm…", Jeff hummed in approval. "I will be back in two hours. Try to rest until then. Did you take your vitamins?"

"Yes, I did." JoAnna is happy that with everything going on, Jeff is reminding her to take her vitamins, but she knows that he is exhausted. Mentally mostly. "I heard that everything went as planned. Are you OK?"

"I\'m fine. Don\'t worry about me. The more loose ends we tie up, the better I feel. Do you want me to bring you something on the way home?"

"Yes! Potato chips dipped in chocolate."

Jeff smiled. Lately, JoAnna\'s cravings are all over the place. "If you have a strong craving, why don\'t you ask someone from the house to get it? Is there something wrong with eating regular chips and chocolate on the side? They can mix in your mouth."

"You asked me what I want, and I told you. Are you trying to bail out now?", JoAnna asked impatiently.

Jeff knows that JoAnna\'s unpredictable mood is because of her pregnancy, and the safest thing is not to talk about it. "I will get you chips dipped in chocolate."

"Thank you, hubby."

Jeff ended the call and his attention turned to the television which was set on news. The flickering label on the bottom of the screen said: "BREAKING NEWS! HEIR OF \'FRESH FOODS INC.\' FOUD DEAD! BREAKING NEWS! ..."

Jeff increased the volume and listened to the news anchor: "…earlier this evening, Christopher Fredrickson, heir of \'Fresh foods Inc.\' company was found dead on the street in front of his apartment building. Police suspects a suicide by jumping off the balcony. Mr. Fredrickson had an apartment on the seventeenth floor… Unofficial sources told us that he left a suicide note in which he apologizes to his parents for disappointing them… Several neighbors told us that for last few weeks he was secluded in his apartment, and they reported a strange smell. Experts say that suicide is not surprising considering that his recent behavior points to depression and \'Fresh foods Inc.\'

is facing bankruptcy... they sold most of their properties…"

Jeff muted the television and leaned into his seat. This is done.

Well, Christopher is famous now, that is what he wanted, for people to know his name.

For public, Christopher killed himself, but for everyone from the circle, this is a sign not to mess with Jeffrey White.

Out of all traitors, there is only one which Jeff wants to see in person. And that is Bradley. Jeff does not believe that seeing Bradley will make him regret his decisions, but he hopes for a closure.

Christopher\'s and Bradley\'s betrayal left a mark on Jeff and even though he is doing his best to hide it, Jeff is aware that JoAnna noticed. That is why she is asking him many times a day if he is OK. It\'s not that he does not want to talk to JoAnna, but he does not know what to say.

Tomorrow, judge will announce the timelines of Bradley\'s trial for murder of Paige and an attempted murder of Cooper.

Sophia\'s report says that Bradley is trying desperately to strike a deal with the prosecutor, but prosecutor is not budging from requesting a life in prison. Bradley is not happy about the prospect of a lifelong imprisonment and he decided to try his luck. The trial is in Florida, Bradley\'s home state, where the crime was committed. He is aware that Florida has a death penalty and that if they find him guilty and judge decides so, he will be executed. But he does not want to spend a lifetime in jail.

Because of the drones who followed Bradley, they have a video of him attacking Paige and Cooper. It is not something they can use in court, because it is obtained illegally, but they can intimidate Bradley if necessary. However, Sophia says that they will not need to use it. Bradley had the motive, he was seen in the area at the time of crime and Cooper survived. When Bradley attacked, Cooper and Paige were together, so Cooper\'s testimony will cement Bradley\'s fate as a convicted murderer.

Jeff sighed while thinking of a video where Bradley wept, when police apprehended him. He was repeating that he is sorry and that he loves her… they know that he was talking about Paige.

Jeff wondered, if Bradley loved Paige, how is it possible that he went to the length of killing her? If JoAnna cheats on Jeff he will be angry, disappointed, defeated… but no matter how he feels, he would never be able to hurt her because hurting her means hurting himself. How can he do anything to make her sad?

Jeff closed his eyes and smiled as JoAnna\'s image drifted into his mind. The perfect woman who is there to save him over and over again. From their fateful reunion at the Franciscan Medical Center … her accepting his offer to drive her to her apartment, after her mentor attacked her… and her agreeing to move in with him… and to marry him… and then her spectacular birthday present. Only JoAnna can do that: make him happy. And he will do whatever he can to keep her safe, because without her in his life, his life does not have any meaning.

Jeff is convinced that this is how things are meant to be.

If he ended up marrying Isabella, he would not have all these friends and Marcus would succeed in taking over the position of the Master.

So many things, seemingly random, got him to the point of him falling for JoAnna and having her by his side. He ended up in Franciscan Medical Center and next day met her in the city, on the fountain. She stirred his heart and made him wish to see her again. But no matter what he tried, it would not be possible if his brother was not dating Sarah. Yes, now that he thinks about it, he was in Sarah\'s apartment when he found out that JoAnna is doing the night shift and he drove six hours straight to be in that underground parking when she got out of the elevator… and he saw that despicable man bully her… and he requested from Oscar to void the agreement with Isabella\'s father… and the rest is history. But there is no way that all those are coincidences. It must be destiny.

Jeff drifted off to sleep with a small smile on his face while thinking about JoAnna.
