Chapter 1101
Chapter 1100:
However, as the reality of the situation sank in for Elliana and Cole, instead of being overwhelmed by sorrow, they found themselves filled with an unexpected surge of hope.
The discovery of Jason’s phone at the base of the cliff revealed something remarkable that changed everything. The device was still functioning, its signal was broadcasting clearly, its exact position could be determined, and it was even capable of receiving incoming calls. This wasn’t merely encouraging news — it was absolutely miraculous.
By all logical reasoning, any phone that had fallen from such an enormous height should have been completely destroyed on impact. If the phone had somehow managed to survive the fall relatively undamaged, then there was a very real possibility that Jason had also lived through the terrible plunge.
Whatever mysterious force had cushioned their deadly descent remained a complete puzzle — something they would have to witness with their own eyes to truly understand.
But if something had indeed broken their fall and saved them from certain death, then it meant that both Jason and Taylor might actually still be alive.
This thought sent a surge of renewed energy through both Elliana and Cole as they shared a look of cautious optimism and began making immediate preparations to join the rescue operation.
Right at that moment, Bertram’s name appeared on Cole’s phone screen.
Cole quickly accepted the call.
Bertram’s voice came through sounding completely distraught and panicked. He described Irene’s total mental collapse and mentioned a disturbing message that…
Ruben had received from Jason, his words breaking with emotion as he pleaded, “Could you tell me what has happened to my son p>
Since Bertram was Jason’s father, he had every right to hear the complete truth about the situation. Cole held nothing back as he explained the entire chain of devastating events from beginning to end.

When Cole finished, Bertram let out a string of vicious curses through gritted teeth. “That evil Irene! I should have gotten rid of her years ago when I had the chance. I’m going to strangle her with my bare hands and put an end to this nightmare once and for all p>
“Please calm down,” Cole said firmly. “Jason made this choice specifically to shield her from the consequences, to pay for her sins without letting the world know what she had done. Out of respect for his sacrifice, you have to leave her alone. Besides, she’s already lost her mind. Right now, the only thing that matters is tracking down Jason and Taylor p>
Bertram thought Jason was such a fool, but he couldn’t help being moved by the depth of Jason’s selfless sacrifice. He released a long, shuddering breath. “Please, you have to take charge of this rescue operation. There’s nobody else I trust with this. I’ll remain here at home and pray for good news p>
“I give you my word that I’ll do absolutely everything within my power to bring them home,” Cole vowed.
The moment he ended the call, Cole immediately gave orders for the rescue team to begin their mission.
