Chapter 106 - Meeting with Mark Sloane (1/2)

He has a squared face, small eyes, slightly curled hair yet neatly polished, his beard tracing his prominent jawline is trimmed with a floating mustache. The man looks charming and smug despite his age but cautious probably because of the fact that he is now facing the heiress of The Robin Hood Society which no one has ever met before.

”It's an honor to meet you, Miss J.” Mark Sloane who was still standing in front of J said as he bowed his head.

”Please.... drop the formality, Mr. Sloane,” J said not being used to be treated so highly. ”And please sit down. I want this conversation short and straight.”

”Have you told them about me and Jacob?” J asked.

Mark Sloane nod his head.

”I hope you understand. My loyalty is in the President. And they have the right to know about that since it involves their daughter.”

J sighed then replied in a dismayed tone, ”I understand.”

”But... I guess they already knew.” Mark Sloane continued that made J's brows snapped together.

”What do you mean?” she asked eagerly.

”When I told them about your marriage with Jacob, they're not surprised at all.” Mark Sloane told her about their conversation skipping the part that he was ordered to watch over her while she is with the Parkers.

It turns out that her parents already knew about her marriage to Jacob even before she met Mark Sloane. She wondered how did they found out. Only the Parker's including Sloane knew about it. While no one in the society except Lance knew it, which she was certain that Lance would never tell them.

Not unless her parents were involved with the marriage arrangement that their grandfather did.

No matter how much J thinks about it, she cannot come up with an answer.
