Chapter 258
Soon, Kylie arrived at the Hayden’s villa.
Kylie was led into Jason’s study by a servant.
She felt that the Hayden’s residence seemed to have become depressing and quiet. She did not know if it was because of Ethan’s accident.
“Mr. Hayden.” Kylie took the initiative to speak.
Jason looked at her and sized her up for a long time without saying anything.
He probably had mixed feelings about Kylie.
The two of them were in this awkward silence for a long time.
Jason suddenly sighed. “I didn’t expect Ethan to do this. He has never defied me since he was young.”
Kylie remained silent, not knowing how to respond to him.
In fact, she could understand Jason’s feelings.
Jason had raised Ethan, and Ethan had been obedient since he was young. One day, he went against Jason’s wishes and did something that Jason could not accept.
However, Jason couldn’t change anything, no matter how angry he was.
For a person who had seen many storms and was highly respected, he would not easily lose his composure in front of
anyone.
“I know that Ethan is in love with you, but I really didn’t expect him to be so into you, Jason said. He couldn’t help but get emotional.
From the beginning to the end, he could feel Ethan’s forbearance and unwillingness regarding his engagement with Stella However, Ethan did not refuse. He did not even say “no” in front of Jason. Jason thought that with Ethan’s rationality, Ethan, would accept it sooner or later.
But Jason had overestimated Ethan and his ambition.
“I wanted to take revenge on you.” Jason looked at Kylie coldly. Kylie remained silent.
“Even if the Hayden family is in danger now, it’s easy for me to deal with you. However, for the sake of my grandson and great-grandson, I chose not to hurt you in the end. But I can’t swallow my anger like this, and I find it hard to really acce
you!”
Kylie looked at Jason and said slowly, “Sorry.”
Many things were indeed related to her, though it was not her who caused all the trouble.
However, from Jason’s point of view, Kylie was the bane.
She was sincere in her apology.
“Before Ethan went to jail, he asked me to give Jos to you.” Naturally, Jason would not accept her apology and turned a deaf ear to her words.
Kylie did not expect him to accept it. She was just expressing her feelings.
“I think you still remember that our deal back then was for Ethan and Stella to get married, and then I would give Jos to you,”

Jason said bluntly.
Kylie’s eyes flickered slightly as she got a bit nervous.
“Obviously, they can’t get married now. When we negotiated the deal back then, we didn’t know if the reason why they couldn’t get married was related to you, but in fact, it was indeed related to you, so I don’t plan to let you take Jos back,” Jason
said.
Kylie pursed her lips tightly.
“If our family loses Ethan, Jos will be the only kid we can count on later,” Jason said word by word.
Therefore, Jason treated Joseph as the heir of Ethan, just like how Ethan had taken the place of his father back then.
Kylie held back the words that were on the tip of her tongue,
It seemed that it was very difficult to ask Joseph to leave with her even though it was Ethan’s wish.
“Can I visit him as often as before?” Kylie compromised.
There were very few people around Jason now.
Ethan’s parents had died early, and Leopold had a car accident; no one knew if he could make it alive. On top of all that, Ethan was still awaiting sentencing. Only Georgina and Jaelynn were by Jason’s side. Georgina had secretly divorced Edward, and Edward left the Hayden family long ago.
No one would have thought that the glorious Hayden family, such a big family, would suddenly fall apart.
Jason listened to Kylie’s words and did not respond for a long time.
Kylie felt bitter and disappointed.
Even
if she could take away Joseph, her conscience and morals forbade her to do it now.
But Joseph was her son. Kylie couldn’t pretend that he didn’t exist.
There was no way she could not see him for a very long time.
“Take him away,” Jason suddenly said.
Kylie was stunned. She thought she had misheard.
She looked up at Jason and saw the sad look in his eyes, the glint of compromise with life.
Although Jason was over 70 years old and in a wheelchair all year round, he was still healthy and energetic. With his imag an elegant man with prestige, Kylie had never thought that he would be defeated by life one day. She had always felt that even though time had aged him day by day, his pride would never fade.
“Jos will live with you from now on,” Jason added.
“What about you?” Kylie did not refuse. She simply couldn’t refuse the offer.
Moreover, Jason must have thought it through before making this decision.
“I… It’s time for me to let go,” Jason said heavily. “I used to think too much and have too high expectations. Everything in the Hayden family has been developing according to my ideas. I’ve been alone for so many years, but I haven’t got the life I wanted in return. Perhaps, I was wrong from the beginning.”
Kylie didn’t expect a hero of his generation to say such a thing.
Jason’s words could only mean he had bowed his head to fate. He had given up struggling only because the blow he had

suffered was destructive.
“Before Ethan’s parents passed away, I was the one who asked them to go overseas to discuss a business deal. If it weren’t for me, they wouldn’t have had an accident,” Jason said. His eyes were slightly red with tears. “Later, Leopold had a serious car accident. I was the one who was stubbornly against his relationship with Zola. If I had put aside my prejudices, comforted Georgina, and let Zola stay in the Hayden family, Leopold would have stayed in the Hayden family and many tragedies might not have happened.”
“Leopold’s matter should have nothing to do with you…” Kylie said, trying to comfort him.
Jason shook his head. He had placed all the blame on himself.
“And there is Ethan. If I had supported him instead of forcing him to marry S way to break off the engagement with Stella,” Jason said.
Kylie did not know how to make him feel better.
At this moment, Jason seemed to have resigned himself to this harsh reality.
In an instant, he seemed to have aged so much.
Stella, he wouldn’t have used such an extreme
“Next, I will go overseas to accompany Leopold for treatment. Only Georgina and Jaelynn will be left here. I will also leave many things in the company to Georgina, but she might not have the ability to manage all of it. Her mind has never been on the company… Jason said indifferently.
It was such a big family business, but Jason didn’t seem to care about it anymore.
“If she can’t stand up to it, I’ll sell Hayden Group. Without such big reputation and so much glory, maybe there wouldn’t be so many tragedies. Being ordinary might be a good thing for us. Jason acted as if he had already seen through everything.
When one no longer had desires, wealth, reputation, and power were actually not that important.
