Jason glared at John, he was fuming in anger, while John smirked at him, but his smirked dropped when Jason suddenly smirked back.
"Dad, why did y-" Jake gritted his teeth, he was shocked to see his father hit someone in front of them, they were still standing in front of the house, all the guards were staring at them, no one understood why he punched Jason when he did absolutely nothing.
"Shut up! And ask them to leave." John yelled and turned away from them to leave.
"You're quite weak now," Jason announced, rubbing his jaw where he was punched, his other hand in his pocket, everyone was shocked to hear that.
Austin was so angry on that man, he was about to hit him, but when Jason said that he was astonished.
"Did something happen to his brain because of the punch?" He wonders. John turned towards Jason and asked calmly this time, "What are you trying to do?" He wasn't an idiot, he was well aware of the hatred Jason had for him, but in his eyes, Jason was still the poor kid who wasn't ready to face him, he was still the eight years old child who was miserably crying in a corner.
Jason hated how he knew Jason was trying something, the way he was always ahead of him, but this time he wanted to make him a bit miserable even if just for a short period of time.
"Well, you just punched me, when I didn't even touch you, don't you think that was wrong?"
"So, what do you want me to do? John asked, "How about apologising." Jason demanded, "What! You want me to apologise to you!" He laughed at his demand, 'how naive could Jason be to think that' He thought.
"Hmm, so...you don't want to apologise, then I might have to do something which I don't mind doing!"
"Jason, what do you mean?" Jake inquired, he could see the war going on between them, but he wasn't aware of the reason.
"Austin, I was just punched, don't you think that's wrong?" Jason demanded.
"Of course, we should do something about it." Austin suggested, "Then how about you call the cops, I really hated that man touching me!" Jason pointed towards John, a smirk forming on his face.
"What the hell! Jason you can't do that." Jake shouted, he never expected Jason will think of something like this, "What? I'm just thinking of doing justice for myself is it wrong?" Jason snapped at him.
"Don't you girls think he punched me without a reason?" Jason looked at Sarah and Claire, who were quite the whole time, Sarah didn't expect Jason would ask her such a question, she glanced at her father, who was waiting for her reply, "Jason, there can be a solution for this, please you don't have to call-"
"I asked you if he was wrong or not?" Jason stopped her from saying any further, he just wanted to have a simple answer from her. Even though John was a reputed person in the country, he knew he wasn't any less, so if he even called the cops, they won't be able to say no to arrest him.
Sarah glanced at the floor unable to answer his question, "Clair what about you?"
"I think he shouldn't have done that!" Claire said firmly, she glared at the man standing there, who was looking at her amusingly, she was just mad that he punched Jason.
"Now you see Jake, even my girlfriend didn't like that," Jason winked at Claire, he walked a little closer to Jake and whispered in his ear, "You see, I don't want to make a bad impression on her, she shouldn't feel her boyfriend is weak."
Jake gritted his teeth, after listening to him, he was feeling a bit happy that his father punched him, "I can't hit you back because you're the same age as my father, but that doesn't mean I will let this slide!" Jason glared at him.
"I'll give you two options either apologise or go to jail, I'm giving you two minutes to decide."
John was pissed off, he was now regretting his actions, but he knew Jason won't let this go, he had a murderous look on his face as he glared at Sarah, John blamed her for all of this.
"Dad, just say sorry to him." Jason suggested, "Shut up! I will never apologise to him." John knew this sorry wasn't only for a punch it was for all the things he had done to him and his family.
Jason was listening to the father and son who at a point made him feel jealous of them, they reminded him of his father, looking away from them he saw Claire looking at him worriedly, he smiled at her assuring that he was okay.
"Now, you're two minutes are over." Jason said and glanced at Austin, he nodded his head and dialed a number.
"Jason, please don't do that, I will apologise on behalf of him!" Jake pleaded, "No, you don't have to do that, let him call the cops." John stopped his son.
Within fifteen minutes the cops were there, as Austin told him everything, the cops walked towards John, "Sir, you have to come with us."
He nodded and walked towards their car he stopped in front of Jason and said, "Remember you were the one who started this, so be ready to face the consequences!"
Saying that he sat in their car, Jason knew he would be out within a day, but he wanted him to be there, he wanted him to realise that he was a criminal. He glanced at Jake and Sarah who were lost in their thoughts, he didn't even want to feel bad for them.
"Claire come, it's getting late!" He called her and the three sat in the car and drove off, Claire looked worriedly at Jason who was staring outside the window, "You don't have to worry, I'm okay." He said without looking towards her.
"I just want to see, is your face okay." She held his chin and made his face turn towards her.
His jaw was a bit red and swollen which made her frown, "It's swollen, you have to use an ice pack on it."
Jason was looking at her, for the first time in these years there was someone who was this close to him, which made him nervous, looking away from her, he saw Austin smirking at them.
Jason held her hand and moved it away from his face and said, "I will take care of it, don't worry." Claire was a bit wistful but was shocked to see his ear turning red, a smiled formed on her face as she moved away from and turned to the window. "Tomorrow meet me at the company I have something important to tell you."
