Chapter 226 Last National High School Championship 4 (1/2)

Mark was essential to the team's rebounds and Nathan and Lucas had to do well in both defense and attack, only Jake who had no pressure and had to play what he knew only.

The days went by and the day of the semifinal match was near, so Coach Mike decided to give the players a rest so that everyone was at their best on match day, of course, Jake didn't change anything and he would still do his thing intense training in the same way.

For Jake who had 37 Resistance points a common basketball game would not be enough to make him tired, maybe when he had a routine of several games in the week that lasted longer and were much harder as it would be in the NBA that he might need a rest before the game.

Jake was quieter at least to spend more time at home, he was totally quiet in his new home, even though in his past life he didn't live in a mansion and had several employees that wouldn't bother Jake.

But Eva still thought it was strange, she loved the new house with the new much bigger and comfortable furniture, especially the kitchen, it was big and seemed a bit in space of the restaurant, that was why Eva chose this house.

But she couldn't get used to seeing the housekeepers cleaning the house for her, it was a custom she had since childhood, and Eva didn't even like Jake cleaning the house sometimes.

Even so, she knew she couldn't clean a mansion this size alone so the maids she could even accept, the cook Jake had hired was another thing Eva didn't like, she preferred to cook the food herself.

Jake knew this well so the cook didn't live in the house and only worked when Eva wasn't home or when Eva needed her, so Eva couldn't complain and had to accept it too.

The hardest thing was getting used to a driver and another man who took her everywhere, Eva couldn't even go to a mall alone without the driver insisting on taking her, that's what Jake had demanded of course Eva had freedom to go where she wanted and the security guards would just follow her from afar.

After all, after what had happened Jake could not rest easy leaving his mother alone, he knew that after a few years Eva would get used to it after all the rich had security and used to live like this.

Jake had complete confidence in the people who worked with him and cared for his mother because he had used his second job skills with all of them, so he knew that everything they said was true and these people were reliable.

After a few months, Jake would always ask the same questions and use his ability to always ensure his mother's safety, in fact, Jake suggested that Oliver hire Joseph a security guard after what happened to him.

But Oliver said he didn't think it was necessary and Jake didn't want to talk about it anymore, Jake was so lucky he can't help worrying about it, he thought Oliver was being too careless, after all, Oliver didn't leave home very much and Matthew had the security guards near him.

So after Matthew's company was even more successful, Jake feared that his friend would also be targeted by bad guys.

Of course, even Jake knew this was something unusual to happen, and his house was targeted because he was in an unsafe neighborhood, so a person being kidnapped on the street was much harder to do.

But after what happened Jake realized that just because something is hard to happen doesn't mean it can't end up happening, and after a tragedy happens it's no use complaining and regretting it.

After a few more days the day of the fifth game of the national championship game, it was the semifinal in which despite being expected a difficult game everyone was confident with the victory.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.
