I’m Someone Else
Chapter 240

Chapter 240

His eyes were bloodshot, and his hands tightly gripped the steering wheel. Jake pressed theaccelerator to the floor, recklessly speeding down the road.

It was only through this reckless driving that he could replace some temporary relief from his overwhelmingdespair.

“What the hell is wrong with this guy? Is he in such a rush to die?”

“No, he’s rushing to attend his loved one’s funeral.”

“Damn it! He really is something. Why is he causing chaos on the road just because he wants to die?Can’t he just do it without dragging the rest of us into it?”

Jake’s actions drew complaints from people on the road. He even ran red lights and paid no attentionto other vehicles. In his eyes, there were no other cars, only people desperately trying to avoid him. Ifthey failed to evade him in time, a traffic accident would surely ensue. It was no wonder that everyonecursed him for his actions.

After arriving at the company, Jake settled himself into the executive chair in his office as he closed hiseyes in contemplation.

Seeking vengeance for his son through Blake was now out of the question. He had to replace a solution onhis own. Since I can’t take any action against Chloe, I need to replace someone else connected to Thomasto target. Considering that Thomas is an orphan, his connections are likely limited. Apart from Chloe,his foster sister, I doubt he has any other family members. While Olivia shares a close relationship withhim, targeting her is out of the question since he is always in her presence. What other options do Ihave?

Suddenly, Jake’s eyes snapped open, revealing a glimmer of resolute determination. He swiftlyreached for his phone, pressing a series of buttons before holding it to his ear to initiate a carefulinquiry.

Five minutes later, he concluded the call, a faint smirk playing on his lips. He had devised a plan to dealwith Thomas, one that would not only infuriate and unhinge the man but also have the potential toeradicate him entirely if executed with precision.

Although this method was somewhat devious, Jake couldn’t bring himself to care anymore. Who gaveyou the right to take my son’s life, Thomas? Who the hell do you think you are?! Meddling in otherpeople’s affairs when you have nothing better to do, eh? The one I’m going after is Olivia. What does ithave to do with you?

Knock! Knock!

The sound of a knock on the door jolted Jake back to reality. “Come in.”

A middle-aged man in a suit entered the office, holding a document in his hand. “Mr. Hind, this is theinformation we’ve just acquired. Please take a look.”

The man handed over the file, and Jake quickly flipped through the pages.

Snap! As Jake closed the file, excitement lit up his face. Hadn’t he said so? No one was meant to beadrift like floating duckweed, wandering aimlessly without a care in the world.

“Go to the address in this file and destroy everything there. And make sure to bring back the item!”Jake’s voice carried determination as he clenched his teeth.

“What?” The man froze upon hearing Jake’s words. Destroy it? Bring back the item? B-But won’t thatinvite bad karma and repercussions?

“Mr. Hind, I-I dare not. How about… you choose someone else?” the man suggested nervously.

Anyone else could go if they wanted, but he certainly wouldn’t. He feared the potential negativeconsequences and unfavorable outcomes that karma might bring in the future.

Jake’s eyes widened as he angrily retorted, “Just do everything I say! Did I say anything aboutchoosing someone else?”

“B-But is it not good to do this?”

“What the hell is not good about it? Why? Do you think my words hold no weight? Let me make it clear—I’m giving you an order. You can choose to carry it out or not. If you choose not to, then pack up andget the hell out of here! The Hind Group doesn’t keep useless people!” Jake replied furiously.

“Oh, by the way, I forgot to tell you. After you resign, I’ll give you a week to settle your affairs!”

Jake was already in a foul mood. How dare a mere employee defy him? It seemed like they werepushing their luck and inviting trouble by provoking him!

As Jake was seething with anger, the man’s legs trembled uncontrollably. The message was crystalclear: it was a matter of do or die. Although the task was morally dubious, staying alive was far moreimportant than succumbing to death.

“Mr. Hind, you can rest assured that the task will be completed,” the man responded.

With that, he exited the office. He had already made up his mind. If Jake assigned him the task, hecould delegate it to his own subordinates instead of doing it himself.

“Haha!” Jake chuckled triumphantly. He could already envision the contorted anger on Thomas’ face.You took my son’s life, Thomas, and caused significant losses to the Hind Family. It’s time for you topay the price!

Later that evening, the man approached Jake and placed a rectangular object in front of him. “Mr. Hind,this is what you requested.”

“Very well. You may leave now.” Jake dismissed him with a wave of his hand.

However, the man lingered near the door and silently observed Jake’s every move in the office.

The rectangular box contained the ashes of Chloe’s mother. This was the very reason why he hadbeen willing to defy Jake’s orders rather than carry out the task himself.

“Why does Mr. Hind want this?” The man was puzzled. Desecrating a grave, digging up ashes… HasMr. Hind completely lost his mind? Is he not afraid of the consequences that might follow?

Just then, a burst of sinister and eerie laughter echoed from the office. The man at the doorway wasstartled to see Jake holding the urn in his hands and laughing heartily.

Jake’s intentions became clear. Aren’t you an orphan without parents, Thomas? Well, that’s not aproblem. Chloe must have parents and other relatives, right? Since she’s your foster sister, and nowthat her mother’s ashes have been unearthed, I’m sure you can’t simply ignore it! Especiallyconsidering it’s because of your actions!

Jake intended to use Chloe’s mother’s ashes as leverage to coerce Thomas into pleading for mercy.

“Holy sh*t!” The man instinctively recoiled at the sight. Mr. Hind must have lost his mind. I should leavequickly!

With that, he swiftly turned on his heel and rushed away.

He still retained a shred of conscience as he had merely instructed someone to open the tomb andretrieve the ashes. He did not carry out the grave destruction as Jake had demanded.

That was why Chloe and Thomas were still unaware of what had transpired.

“Madam, I hope you don’t blame me for disturbing your peace. You can’t blame me. If anyone deservesblame, it’s your precious daughter. After all, she’s the one who got so close to Thomas, right?”

Taking a puff of his cigarette, Jake turned toward the urn and continued, “Oh, and I almost forgot tomention, to keep you company in the afterlife, I’ll send down your loved ones as well, except for yourson, who is serving in the military. Haha! Have a nice reunion down there!”

However, Jake’s plan didn’t stop at killing Thomas. He had meticulously planned everything and sparedno one from the Hahns Family either. It was all because of Thomas that Drake had been killed. Assuch, Jake wanted everyone connected to Thomas to join Drake in the afterlife.

The Hind Family, one of the masterminds behind Minacia Oito Irieson, had a notorious reputation fortheir heinous acts that outraged people. They had earned the ire of many and were certainly not inanyone’s good graces.

Jake’s descent into madness had reached a point where he didn’t hesitate to destroy graves anddisturb ashes. It was a clear reflection that the kind of master he served was directly reflected in hisactions and behavior.
